HERE'S A TIP of the hat to John Hansen, who coordinates the intramural basketball activity for Walter Mikols. Hansen has done an exceedingly fine job in maintaining discipline during the games. He has spent three hours a night during the week for the past three months in this capacity.
Mikols points out Hansen's conscientiousness. In important games between two arch-rival teams, Hansen will delegate himself the responsibility of officiating the game. He exerts strict discipline throughout the game and shows no hesitancy in calling technical fouls or ejecting players from the game.
Oftentimes, intramural games have the tendency to become a little too hard fought, and this discipline is needed to remind players that good sportsmanship should prevail.

SWIMMING COACH Dick Reamon to predict that KU might go all may finish as high as third place in the Big Eight swimming meet next month.
He is much more optimistic about next year's team, however. This year's freshman swimmers rewrote the record book, which leads Reamon to predict that KU might go all the way next year.
If so, this would be quite a blow to former KU coach Jay Markley who is now coaching at Oklahoma. The Sooners, a power for many years under Matt Mann who died last year, insists on a champion swimming team.
Markley is under the pressure of "win or else" and it could be embarrassing if his alma mater would send the Sooners down to defeat in the league next year.
Freshman Track Team Has Top Prospects But No Depth
Dean Brittenham is still wearing a "help wanted" expression when he talks about KU freshman track prospects.
Brittenham, in his first year as assistant track coach, says there are "some real outstanding individuals" among the fresh candidates. But, at the same time, Brittenham laments the fact that there is a personnel shortage in the high jump, pole vault, shot-put and hurdles events.
MIKE JOHNSON, Garden City, is the only authentic high jumper participating in the freshman practices now. Johnson, a starting halfback on the freshman football team, will probably drop track after the indoor season for spring football practice.
Darol Rodrock, Marysville, primarily a distance runner, made a 6-0 $ \frac{1}{4} $ leap in high school and is practicing on the event. Rodrock, number six man on the fresh cross country squad, ran the 880 in 1:58 in high school.
While the KU varsity track team appears to be strong in the pole vault event, the freshmen are still looking for at least one pole vaulter.
The shot-put situation is a little better—at least there's one prospect. Gary Schwartz, Wessington Springs, S.D., who is also working in the discus division, claims a high school shot-put best of 56-1. His career high in the discus is 190-7.
BOB HANSON, Wichita, is the only hurdles participant who isn't also a football hopeful. Hanson ran the lows in 19.3 in high school and has looked good in time trials against varsity competitors.
Others in the hurdles are Rich Masoner of Garden City and Johnson, both football players.
Hanson is also a sprint man and owns high school clockings of 9.6 for the 100, 21.0 for the 220 and 47.1 for the 440.
Top distance hope is John Lawson, Kansas City. Lawson, KU's number one cross country runner who placed second in the Big Eight
postal, has turned in indoor times this winter of 9:35.9 in the two mile, 4:32.7 in the mile and 2:00.5 for the half-mile.
LOWELL PAUL, Colby, No. 3 cross country runner, owns high school bests of 50.1 for the 440 and 2:01.5 for the half-mile. Indoors, Paul has .52.5 and 1:59.5 clockings for the two distances.
Other distance and sprint prospects include Doug Dienelt, Colorado Springs, Colo.; John Donner,
No. 2 cross country runner, Tucson,
Ariz.; Bill Saul, Mason City, Ia.; Tom
Smith, San Diego, Calif., number
 four cross country runner who has
 a 4:24 indoor mile to his credit; Ken
 Holm, Kansas City, and George
 Fletcher, Prairie Village.
DIENELT, with a 23-10 leap to his credit in high school, is also working in the broad jump. He has prep times of 9.7 for the 100, 21.0 for the 220 and 47.1 for the 440.
K-State Defeats Cyclones
The Kansas State Wildcats clinched a tie for the Big Eight conference basketball title by defeating the Iowa State Cyclones 78-71 at Ames, last night.
The Wildcats now stand 11-2 in league play, one game ahead of the Colorado Buffaloes whose record is 10-3 after their 80-51 victory over Nebraska last night.
