Two Games Lead Holiday Action
Bill Bridges
Big 8 Meet Attracts Many
Just a few hours after the Christmas clutter is cleared from under the tree, basketball fans from the entire Midwest will crowd into Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium for the 13th Annual Big Eight Tournament.
The action begins Friday night when Kansas State meets Missouri at 7:30 followed by an Oklahoma-Iowa State tiff at 9:30.
The next night, the Javahawkers, winners of last year's tournament, move into the spotlight with the Colorado Buffaloes. Kansas has met and defeated Colorado four times in the tournament's history.
Finals in the consolation and championship brackets will be Tuesday. The third and fourth place finishers will be determined at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, and the championship game will be at 9:30.
Following the Kansas-Colorado game, Nebraska will play Oklahoma State. The Cowboys, taking part in Big Eight basketball competition for the first time this year, fill in in the place of the usual non-conference guest team.
Sunday, all teams are idle, and Monday afternoon, consolation games will begin. Championship bracket games will be played Monday night at 7:30 and 9:30.
The games will be broadcast over local area stations, but will not be televised.

Sooner QB Still Puzzle
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma's coaches are still undecided about their starting quarterback for the Orange Bowl tilt with Syracuse.
Bobby Boyd, alternate all season, has been practicing with the first team this week. A topnotch field general, passer, runner and defensive man, Boyd doesn't punt. Neither does anyone else in the starting backfield. David Baker, expelled signal-caller, had done all the punting and extra point booting.
Fullback Prentice Gault, untried but owning lots of right leg power, has been trying to learn to kick this week.
Oklahoma ended its home bowl preparation this week. After a scrimmage Thursday, the squad will be dismissed one week for Christmas, gathering again Christmas afternoon to leave for Miami.
Four Shopping Days Left, You Know
LA PORTE, Ind. — (UPI)—Two thousand basketball fans turned out last night to watch the La Porte High School team play the Fort Wayne North team, but the Fort Wayne team never showed up.
When authorities called Fort Wayne Athletic Director Rolla Chambers for an explanation, his wife said he had gone Christmas shopping.
Barnes Will Head UCLA Football Staff
Barnes was called on at midseason this year to replace George Dickerson, who was advised by his doctor to give up his assignment for reasons of health. Dickerson had replaced Henry (Red) Sanders, who died of a heart attack in August.
LOS ANGELES —(UPI)— UCLA athletic director Wilbur Johns announced signing William F. (Bill) Barnes as head football coach of the Bruins.
Americans spent nearly five billion dollars to heat their homes in 1957.
The youthful Barnes was given his choice of assistants and immediately decided his current staff would remain. ___
Ex-Star Is Busy Man
A former KU football letterman and later, head coach at the University, is now serving as the associate professor of physical education.
He is Henry Shenk, who was graduated from KU in 1928. He lettered in football while attending the University and returned here as head football coach in 1943. He headed KU football teams for three years
Serving as chairman of the physical education department, Shenk has many responsibilities. He is in charge of the activity courses open to all students. In addition he is in charge of the professional courses open to physical education majors.
Shenk is also responsible for men and women's intramurals and graduate education. The latest development in his job is being the head of the University's various sports clubs.
Prof. Shenk takes pride in KU intramurals, but can see need for improvement.
"We have one of the finest intramural programs in the country," he said. The outdoor facilities at KU are excellent, but the indoor facilities are lacking.
Phi Delta Theta dumped Theta Chi, 57-32, in Fraternity B intramural basketball yesterday. Ben Kuiken led the winners with 24 points.
"In the future it would be desirable to have a new physical education building to accommodate the increasing indoor intramural load."

The Oreadites managed a onepoint victory against Foster, 23-22, in an Independent B game. Will Wedgeworth sank nine points and Steve Geist eight for the winners.

COLLEGE MOTEL

The Kansas Jayhawkers join three of the top-ranked teams in the nation tonight for the first of two weekend doubleheader basketball games.
On U. S. Highways 40-59 & K-10 just off of west Lawrence Turnpike interchange on way to business district.
The Jayhawkers, looking for a chance to come out of a threegame losing streak, meet St. Joseph's of Philadelphia in Manhattan tonight while Kansas State plays North Carolina State. KU and K-State switch opponents tomorrow when the action moves here.
Weekend Schedule Promises Hard Task for Jayhawkers
St. Joseph's is ranked ninth in the nation by United Press International. North Carolina State, undefeated as is St. Joseph's, is placed fourth. Kansas State, with a 4-1 record, ranks second.

In St. Joseph's, the Jayhawkers should find anything but an easy match. Bob Clarke, a 6-foot 9-inch junior forward, scored 10 points last year when KU had to depend on a half last volley of points to win. In his most recent game this year, he scored 22 points.
Free Coffee, Free Swimming
Other starters for St. Joseph's will be Joe Reilly, forward; Joe Spratt and Bob McNeill, guards, and John Egan, center.
The Jayhawkers, either up or down following the outcome of tonight's game, will face a statistically tougher team, North Carolina State, tomorrow night.
The Wolfpack, victor over La Salle 82-66 Wednesday, has knocked off Maryland, Wake Forest, Clemson and Penn State. Sparkplug of the team is Lou Pucillo, a small (5-foot 9-inch) guard from Philadelphia.
Pueillo led the Pack with a 15.7 points a game scoring average last year. To do this, he outscored teammate John Richter, who, at 6 feet

Ticket sales for the Allen Field House portion of the weekend show are lagging behind those for last year's games featuring California and Washington.
Coach Everett Case, now in his 13th year at North Carolina State, has described the team as one of his best. His teams have won 300 games and lost 77 and won the first three Atlantic Coast Conference championships.
At that time, an unexpectedly large crowd of 3,500 KU students jammed into the building and nearly crowded out the paying spectators. This year, student seats have been placed on a reserve basis so ticket sales may be planned in line with an accurate forecast of student attendance.
