UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941.
If the Oregon State committee's collective faces aren't red today they certainly should be. If they by any chance happened to look at a morning paper and turn to the sports pages they undoubtedly had a sinking feeling. And it most certainly would be justified.
After listening to parts of the Texas-Oregon football clash at Austin yesterday the conviction that the Longhorns have the strongest of "bowl-available" teams became clearer with each touchdown. The final score of 71 to 7 makes the game between Oregon State and Oregon last week appear like it was the fight for the high school championship of Oregon.
The Beavers from Oregon State had to come from behind in the last quarter to defeat their state rivals, 12 to 7, while the game yesterday never left anyone in doubt.
From the moment the first score was registered it sounded as if Dana Bible was trying to show the rest of the nation just exactly what team should have been invited to the Rose Bowl. If Oregon State wants to win their New Year's day game, they did the right thing by not inviting Texas.
FROSTY COX CAMPAIGNS FOR COLORADO
One of the interested spectators at the Big Six athletic meeting in Kansas City Friday and yesterday was none other than Frosty Coy, former Jay-
hawker court star and later freshman basketball coach. Cox was captain of the Kansas basketball team during the season of 1928-29 which was the first year of the Big Six conference. After coaching the freshman and assisting "Phog" Allen occasionally with the varsity, Cox pulled stakes and went to Colorado.
While at Colorado he had unusually good success. Seemingly he carried the championship habit of Kansas with him for he has made a practice of winning the Rocky Mountain conference. Last year, upon the formation of the Big Seven, Wyoming copped the title.
This year Wyoming is back with
another strong outfit which has six lettermen. This is the same team that Kenny Sailors, clever passing and dribbling guard, led in the N.C.A.A. playoffs in Kansas City last spring.
Cox himself has nearly a Kansas line-up to put on the floor for Colorado. Coming from Newton, hotbed of Kansas basketball, Cox has used his Kansas influence to draw several of the better boys out west. Included in his line-up this year will be two all-conference men of last season, Leason McCloud from Newton and George Hamburg from Beloit.
Other lettermen back will be Bob Kirchner, Topeka; Barney Oldham Hays; and Paul Schmidt, Newton. Bill Millikan, a freshman numeral winner last year, is from Eureka. The only outstanding man on the team besides the Kansans is all-conference center of two years ago, Bob Doll from California.
But to get back to Cox's mission at the Big Six meeting. It has been the intention of Colorado to break from its own conference and gain admittance to the Big Six for several years. It has never progressed to the point of a direct application but this seems to be the first step with Cox doing the advance, good-will work.
Cox's visit comes at a time when the fate of the Big Seven is perilous indeed. At the annual Big Seven meeting last week, so much trouble was stirred up that Denver left in a huff with the idea of joining the Big Six herself. Her irie was roused by the ruling to make a home-and-home agreement for all conference football games in the future was passed.
One point cited in Denver's favor was the fact that larger crowds would result at the games. This however would probably be off-set by the more natural rivalry between a school such as C.U., located in a town which revolves around its university, in opposition to the big city attitude which might be present at D.U.
Further complications in the Big Seven conference, which was only organized four years ago, occurred when rumors circulated concerning Utah University's desire to join the Pacific Coast league to replace either Montana or Idaho. If this did happen, then it would seem quite probable that Colorado would make an immediate application to the Big Six for admittance.
This would give rise to another problem. Whether to replace one of the present Big Six schools or to make the league a seven-team organization. The arguments that would be created as to which school should be junked would rock the Valley. Let's stick to the Big Six and have Denver and Colorado settle their differences and remain in their own Big Seven.
PHILLIPSBURG STARS TO MISSOURI
Hank Greenberg was released from the Army today. . . . Coach Don Faurot said last night in Kansas City that 38 Tiger gridsters since 1938 are in the Army. . . . All home games of Kansas State will be transcribed and re-broadcast over WIBW of Topeka this season, starting Dec. 15 at 10:15. . . Latest report and quite disgusting is the news that Phillipsburg' two outstanding footballers, Jamie "Dutch" Stehlery and Dick Scholfield, are ticketed for Missouri. Ho hum, does Faurot have personality or what?. . .
Bowl Decision Side-Tracked; Track Meets Set
The conference rule prohibiting post-season football games, which was expected to be revised or rejected by the Big Six faculty committee at its meeting in Kansas City Friday and yesterday, remains undisturbed. At least until the committee convenes in Lincoln May 22 and 23.
The fact that Big Six teams have been playing in bowl games for the last three years and that Missouri plays in the Sugar Bowl this coming New Year's day despite the postgame ruling has brought this issue to the forefront. Two hours of deliberation Friday morning brought the Big Six fathers no solution, so after conferring with the conference athletic directors, they decided to postpone the issue till they meet again in the spring.
Big Six indoor and outdoor track and field and swimming championship meets were set by the conference athletic directors. In their meeting the directors abolished a Big Six wrestling meet, substituting for it a championship going to the school winning the most dual meets.
The indoor track meet was scheduled for Feb. 28 in Kansas City. The directors decided to reduce the admittance prices at the indoor meet and add a relay event composed of Greater Kansas City high schools to the program.
The University of Nebraska will be host at the outdoor track meet in Lincoln May 22 and 23, and the swimming meet will be held at Ames, March 7 and 8 with Iowa State as host.
The committee also decided to allow conference tennis players to enter the national indoor tennis championships at Oklahoma City, March 15.
Dr. H. H. King, Kansas State Big Six representative and chairman of the committee, was chosen conference delegate to the NCAA's annual convention to be held at Detroit Dec. 28-30.
Yesterday morning the Big Six coaches discussed football officiating of the 1941 season with Reaves Peters, commissioner of Big Six officials. In the afternoon George Edwards, Missouri basketball mentor and member of the national rules committee, explained basketball rules.
In a meeting of the Missouri Valley officials, also held in Kansas City last Friday and Saturday, Washburn Municipal University of Topeka was readmitted to the conference after a year's absence and Tulsa's Golden Hurricane was given permission to play in the Sun Bowl on New Years.
At the Quarterback Club's dinner in the evening Don Faurot, head football coach of Missouri's Tigers, was the principal speaker.

MONDAY'S CONTESTS
By BILL PORTER
The Pi K. A.'s, showing possible championship possibilities, swamped a helpless Sigma Nu "A" team by a score of 56 to 12 in a division II game yesterday morning. The superior material and height of the Pi K. A.'s enabled them to keep possession of the ball throughout almost the entire game. Bill Mathews and Dale Lowery, forwards, fed by Bill Atwell at center, succeeded in piling up 40 points between them while four good guards alternated in
In contests played earlier in the day, Sig Alph "B" won 12 to 10 from Beta "B" in a low-scoring game, and Sigma Nu "B" beat Pi K A "B" 16 to 14 after being behind 3 to 8 at the half. Vesper Sheeley, Pi K A forward, was high scorer with 10 points to his credit.
Kappa Sig came back to defeat Theta Tau, 30 to 21, in the other Saturday "A" team contest, after trailing at the half, 9 to 12. Larry Spencer, Kappa Sig freshman, led the second-half recovery in a slow and uneventful game. Kappa Sig "B" won a contest scheduled with Teke "B" by a forfeit.
Sigma Chi "C" defeated Kappa Sig "C" 16 to 7 in a division VI contest. Sigma Chi led at the half 10 to 2, and kept the Kappa Sig's from sinking a field goal until the final quarter. Phi Psi "D" defeated A T O "C" 19 to 7 in the other game of the day. Although Howard Hull, A T O guard, played a good defensive game, his team was unable to stop the Psi Psi scoring in the two periods.
Friday Night Results The Blanks, led by the scoring of Winter and Nelson, downed John
Moore Co-op in its first appearance on the intramural courts 29 to 18 in one of the opening games of the season Friday evening. The new Co-op put up scrappy resistance all the way, but were outplayed from the start and couldn't find the basket often enough.
A. K. Psi downed Sig Ep 21 to 19 in the other "A" team game of the evening, this one a division II contest. The match was an even one, with Kenny Harden of A. K. Psi leading his team to victory as high score man.
In a "B" team contest, Bud Horner, Phi Psi center, led a scour attack against A. K. Psi "B" to the tune of 26 to 12. Score at the half was 11 to 3 in favor of Phi Psi "B." Phi Psi "C" made it a night of victory for the 1100 Indiana boys in another contest by overwhelming Sig Alph "C" 16 to 9. S. A. E couldn't get started until the third period of play, and had scored only two points by the end of the first half.
Yesterday's Football Scores Texas 71, Oregon 7. Rice 6, Southern Methodist 0. U.C.L.A. 7, Southern California 7. Texas A. and M. 7, Wash. State 0.
