UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1938 Swimming Team Bows To Bears New Pool Records Set In 220 - yard Freestyle And 200 - yard Breast Stroke The University of Kansas swimmers yesterday afternoon bowed to the Washington Bears of St. Louis in the Robinson gymnasium pool, 30 to 48, taking only two firsts in nine events. Clair Staley starred for the Washington tankmen, setting a new pool record in the 220-yard freestyle, also beating his Missouri Valley record of 2:27.1. Staley also placed first in the 100-yard freestyle and the 440-yard freestyle. He missed the pool record in the 440-yard event by only 1 second. Another record was broken as Rudy Brand of St. Louis smashed the 200-yard breast-stroke mark with a time of 2:34.7 to better the 2:36.3 time of Baker of Texas, made in 1936. Kansaas' two firsts were captured by White in the diving, and by P. Ritchie in the 50-yard freestyle. White had trouble in out-pointing Bohn of Washington in the diving but won by a small margin. Kansas also took second in the 50-yard freestyle. Davison came in close behind Ritchie. Bill Kissling, Bear tank star, came within 8 second of the pool record for the 150-yard backstroke of 1:45.5, which he set here last year. Washington showed up especially well in the two relays, with the archer man in each case having a pool to spare on the Kansas nautilus. The summary: 300-yard medley relay—Won by Washington (L. Staley, Brurd, Burdick); second, Kansas (P. Ritchie, D.Brown, Mitchell). time: 3.20.1. 220-yard freestyle — Won by Ck Kansas, third, Feester, Kansas time, 2184.

Kansas Meets Huskers Next Jayhawkers Have Won 16 Games Out of 18 Starts Sixteen victories against two defeats is the record of the University of Kansas basketball team which won 61-53. Cornhoppers at Lincoln Saturday. Latest victim of the rampant Jayhawks was Iowa State which went down to a 31-2 defeat at Ames. Missouri lost to Oklahoma the same night, leaving only Kansas and Oklahoma for the Big Six championship. If Kansas wins its remaining games with Nebraska and Missouri it will be the undisputed champion of the conference. If the Jayhawks win one of their remaining two games the worst they can get will be a tie for the title with Oklahoma. Here continue Good Work. Dick Harp, sophomore Kansas guard, continued against Iowa State the outstanding work which he has been doing recently. Harp bagged 4 field goals to finish just behind Freale Praille, who scored 9 points. In Kansas' last five games Harp has collected 6.5, 5.8, and 8 points. Harp Continues Good Work The Jawhawks will have to play better basketball against Nebraska than they did at Ames to win Saturday. Kansas did not play the basketball in the game with Iowa State, which they did against Oklahoma. Don Ehlong sprained an ankle in the first half of the game, but was able to play part of the second half. Don Ehlong said he would be ready to go on against Nebraska. Sylvester Schmidt, senior center, came back into his own at Ames, with his best performance in recent games. Schmidt did not play in the second half of the game at Norman, but scored 6 points and played a good all-around game against Iowa State. Schmidt Hit Stride at Ames George Golay, junior forward, counted 4 points against the Cylones, but did not show up as well as he Saturday's game will be the last game of the season for Nebraska and it is expected that the Huskers will put everything into it. Nebraska has had a disappointing season to date, but a victory Saturday over Kansas would make the season a successful one. What's Doing in Sports At Other Schools By Newt Hoverstock Cincinnati basketball fans were somewhat stirred up during a recent game at Dayton when the officials didn't blow the whistle as fast as thought proper on injuries. An investigation of the rules on the subject showed that the official may call time out immediately if the ball is in the possession of the team whose player is injured, but, if the ball is in the other team's possession, the official may not call time until he sees it play in the opponent's man's team has regained possession of the ball. This ruling is to prevent the faking of injuries to prevent the opponent from scoring. The rule makes it look bad when a man is left writhing on the floor while play goes on, but it seems a necessary precaution. According to the Iowa State students, Coach Louis Menze, stopped from any Big Six championship ideas, made up his mind last week that the Cyclones be "Cage Giant Killers" in the conference cage race since they were to receive shots at both Kansas and Oklahoma this week at Ames. Having passed the Kansas part of the "killing," perhaps the Iowa State boys will make good on the Oklahoma end when the Sooners arrive there Saturday night. Missouri nearly proved itself as one of the first teams out on the game there Monday night, and may turn the trick on its home court when the Sooners meet them next Monday night. At any rate, neither Kansas nor Oklahoma has any bed of roses ahead of it yet. Unusual Weather Hinders Trackmen In Practice By Dale Heckendorn, c'39 Cold, snowy weather cast a disai- mal atmosphere on the chances of Jawahier trackmen in their dual towers at Columbia Saturday night. The extreme cold has made track workouts a problem during the past week. Almost every member of the team has been handicapped by a severe cold or sore legs received while running on the damp, frigid indoor track. Because of these alliances Coach H. W. Hargis has been forced to call a halt in the stiff workouts to bring the men into even a fair planation for competition. Indoor Track Damaged Time trials over the weekend did not prove very satisfactory. Several men were not able to run and many who did turned in slow time. As the snow melts on the stadium floor, the team races a truck, forming large puddles and making running difficult. Slippery mud on the sharp curves at times is hazardous. Monday several buckets and even a wheelbarrow were recruited in an attempt to stem the flow where it was most abundant and a manageable condition, the entire squad be reported seven days a week. Following in the footsteps of former Kansas teams the past few years, the present crew is pointing to the outdoor season. After poor indoor showings the Kansans have come back strong on the open air tracks in the spring to rank high in the conference and place in the upper few percent of the elites of the Midwest and South. Team Has Improved Little Don Bird, co-holder of the Big Six outdoor championship in the pole vault last year and winner in the event in a dual team with Nebraska a week ago, is the only Jaya-hawker who shows any indication that his performance shows little improvement since their encounter with the Cornhuskers. Harry Wiles, Paul Masoner, Kenneth Clark, and Marvin Cox have been having considerable trouble with leg injuries. The cindermen will leave Saturday morning by bus for Missouri They will tackle the strong Tigers night and will return Sunday day. Along the Sideline Elon Torrence Kansas Sports Editor Praille, Kansas' perennial all-Big Six guard, says we may quote him definitely to the effect that he will play with the Kansas City Healys in the National A.U.A. tournament to be held in Denver, March 13 to 19. It will give the Healys two former Kansas players on their squad when they go to the "mile high" city. Ray Noble has done a "noble" job at guard for the Kansas City team this season. One other all-Big Six player is a forward for the Healys. This is Frank Groves, who made a conference scoring record as center for Kansas State. We see in a Wichita paper that the Wheatshakers are going east next fall to engage the Army on the gridid. While it seems they are stepping 'way out of their class, still it must be remembered that Washburn made the same trip in 1934 and surmised its most optimistic supporters by holding the West Point torch for years. We can say this for the Shockers: If they can make and take advantage of breaks as they did against the Jayhawkers last fall, the Army may be in for an uncomfortable afternoon. News for hockey fans: Only four more home games remain for the Kansas City Grayhounds. Out of 20 that have been played this season on the Kansas City rink, the Grayhounds have won 15. The next game is Feb. 26, with the Wichita Skyhawks as the visiting team. The game is important as the Hounds will be playing to edge out Wichita for a place in the play-offs. Other games are against St. Paul on Sunday, March 6; Minneapolis, Wednesday, March 9; and Tulsa ends the season at the Pla-Mor ice palace on Saturday, March 12. Blahnik Still Leads Scorers McNatt Is in Second Place; Prale Holds Down Third Bob Blahnik, accurate shooting guard of Iowa state, remains at the top of the Big Six scoring heap, even though his average was cut by the tight Kansas defense, which he hld him to 8 points Monday night. Blahnik's average is now 11.11 for 9 games. In second place is the "eatty" fimmy McNatt, sophomore sensation of the Sooner ball club. In 8 games, the Oklahomaan has averaged 9.1 points per game and alt-diag Big Sixer, is in third place with an average of 10.63 in 8 games. Moving up to fourth place as a result of the scoring in Monday's game is Wesche, Kansas State center, who has taken Gove's place as high scoring center in the conference. Wesche has finished his conference play for this season, so his final average is 10.2 for 10 games. In fifth place is Parsons, Nebraska, followed by Mesch, sophomore Sooner. In seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth are Harvey, Missouri; Walker, Oklahoma; Brown, Mississippi; and Martin, Oklahoma. The next highest places held by Jayhawks are fifteenth and sixteenth, held by Ebling and Harp, respectively. The ten high scorers, with the games played in, field goals, free throws, total points, and average points per game follow: Scoring Summary Blahnik, I.S. G gf ff tp avg. 11.11 Blahnik, I.S.
