The Kansas Jayhawks rang down the curtain on the 1941 the Oklahoma Aggies in Hoch auditorium before an estimated crowd of 3,500.
Bob Allen and Howard Engleman, the big guns in the Kansas offensive all year, sacked up 11 points apiece to tie for top
sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
DON BOYDSTON, the high jumping sports editor from Oklahoma A. and M., a man who knows his Sooner athletics, says that the football coaching change at O.U. was all for the best. . . The cowboy track star admits that Tom Stidham, who received his walking papers after the '40 season, is a good coach, but says that Dewey "Snorter" Luster is strictly top-notch. . . Boydston, who won the high jump at the Kansas Relays last spring, had to turn down plane trips to the National A.A.U. Indoor and the Melrose A.A. games this winter because of newspaper work at A. and M. . . If the Aggies return to the Relays this year, Boydston says he will break the present high jump record of 6 feet $ _{7/2} $ inches set by Gil Crur, Colorado Negro in 1938 . . He has already accomplished 6 feet 7 inches in practice this year . . . Boydston was up for last night's Jayhawk-Cowboy fray.
ONE OF THE best yarns drifting from the Cowboys school concerns W. L. Clapham, the Aggie's fine broadjumper. . . A. and M. was entered in a meet at Fort Worth last week, and when Clapham appeared for his specialty he discovered that the jumping pit was only 25 feet long. . . He complained to meet officials about the short distance then silenced their fun-making with a winning leap of 24 feet 11 1-4 inches.
IT IS A FACT that Bobby Allen, all-Big Six basketball selection, will change his cage "quarterbacking" to the baseball mound this spring. . . . Allen will team with Knute Kresie, last year's best in a drab mound picture, and John Burge, curve-ball righthander, to form the nucleus of "Phog" Allen's hill corps. . . . "Phog" is slated to begin outdoor work today.
Opening Wednesday in Emporia's new auditorium is the annual class AA high school tournament, which always has a high rate of interest among Hill sport followers. . . As usual Ark Valley teams will rule as pre-tourney kings with New-

honors and wind up their collegiate careers. Gene Smelser, bail-hawking Cowboy forward, was high for the visitors with eight.
Four other Kansas seniors, John Kline, Ed Hall, Norman Sannemann, and Jim Arnold, also finished their competition with the game.
E. Hall, a Defensive Aid
"Phog" Allen pulled a surprise by starting Sanneman and the ex-Washburn athlete responded by dunking three points through the hoops in the short time he was in the fray. Ed Hall, former footballer, was shot into the game when it became rugged, and did yeoman service in breaking up the Aggie's blocking tactics. Hall also potted a neat one-hander early in the contest.
Kline turned in his usual brilliant rebound-defense performance and in addition slipped through for a set-up at a crucial moment. Arnold did not suit up because of a leg injury.
Cowboys In Strong Start
The Cowboys started strong with Leroy Floyd and Smelser helping them to a quick 7-3 lead. They began to wilt though under the pressure of Bob Allen's long range accuracy, and at the end of the first 10 minutes, Kansas possessed a 11-10 lead. By half-time Kansas was out in front 23-18.
The Jayhawkers ran the count to 29 points early in the second half, but at this point, the Aggie defense stiffened and the Cowboys commenced to pepper the basket. With the score reading 31-27, Lonnie Eggleston was fouled by Ed Hall while making a set-up. Eggleston missed the free toss but Vern Schwertfeger, big Aggie center, tipped it in to knot the count at 31-all.
Engleman then knifed through for a short shot and with 20 seconds remaining, Bud Millikan, square-jawed Aggie guard, fouled Allen. The coach's son elected to attempt both heaves and connected with the second to make the final score board read 34-31.
Buescher A Rebound Standout
John "The Thin Man" Buescher, turned in an aggressive rebound game, snatching the ball away from the taller Aggies off both backboards.
E. O. Stene, assistant professor of political science, took his Legislatures and Legislation class to Topeka yesterday to observe the state legislature in action.

By CLINT KANAGA
One of the choicest of playoff cards will be offered to intramural basketball fans tonight when 12 teams collide in various rounds of play, beginning at 8:00 in Robinson gym.
Other important "A" affairs will bring together Beta and Pi K.A. at 8 and the Hellhounds and Newman II at 9, also in quarterfinal games . Chi's, Fijis Favored
Feature attractions of the evening should be the Sigma Chi-Newman I clash at 8 and the Phi Gam-Phi Psi duel at 9. Both are class A quarterfinal contests.
Both features rate as tossups with the Sigma Chi's and Phi Gam's installed as slight favorites. The Chi's have a season record of eight wins and two losses. The losses were to the Beta's 21 to 19 and to the Pi KA.'s 13 to 12. Most significant member in their victim list is the Phi Gam team which they downed 25-24. In the Sigma Chi front line are Bill Hyer and Eldridge King with scoring averages of 10.1 and 8.8 respectively. Lander Claassen, Van Hartman, and Bob Eldison round the starting five.
Many of the campus intramural followers thing that Newman I should have been installed ahead of Sigma Chi as top favorite to dethrone the champion Fijis. Basis for those favoring the Newmans is their impressive record.
Newman I has yet to lose, having won 10 straight contests. They have totaled 400 points against their opponents 94. Their closest games were against the Rambers 30 to 18 and the Hellhounds 36 to 14. In Joe Fournier, 14.5, and E. Vandaveer, 13.9, they have the top two individual scorers. In Marvin Vandaveer, Tony Coffin, and Harry Luebbe, they have three husky lads to back up their high scorers. The one drawback in the Newman picture is the lack of high class competition.
Psi's Are Tough
The Phi Gam's, favored to capture the title again this year, will have their toughest game of the current season when they tangle with the Phi Pisis's, co-champion of Division I. The Phi Psi lost two games in ten starts, both by one point, to the A.T.O.'s 23-22 and Delta Chis 22-21. The Phi Gam's record is 22 wins in 24 starts over the past two years.
Ace man for the Phi Psi is Jim Sealey, with Bill Hodge and Tom Ar-

Beta, Newman Are First Round Victors
In last night's first round playoff games, Beta Theta Pi and Newman II moved to impressive victories over their respective rivals, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Chi. The Beta's downed the Sig Alph's 34 to 25 while the Newmans whalloped the Delta Chi's by a score of 44 to 24.
Building up an early lead in the first few minutes of play, the Beta's retained this margin throughout the duration of the contest to win easily. Bob O'Neil and Fred Littoo, moved their team in front 6 to 2 at the quarter, and with teammate Bill Geiger hitting the hoop regularly, led 15 to 7 at halftime. Geiger A. Standout
Geiger A Standout
Walt Sheridan and John Ziegel-meyer, Sig Alph's, paced a third quarter rally which found the Beta's only five points ahead, 26 to 21. Geiger and John Fletcher then proceeded to warm the nets, putting the game on ice for the Beta's. The game standout was Geiger, who grabbed high scoring honors with six goals and three free throws.
Starting slowly with a 5 - 5 deadlock for the first period, Newman (continued to page five)
