clouds of smoke, glanced up to
the record boards and spoke of
his ex-Comhusker greats.
"Don't expect too much of lit

in that 'Mile of the Year' in New
York," declared Weir. "He'll be
running with? the world's finest
board milersi and it would be
nothing- short of phenomenal for
any man who has trained of such
improper conditions to score in
that star-studded field. Bobby's
been only training for a short pe
ried and the others have been
running all winter. With more
running he'd be at the forefront."
"Send me some equipment,"
wrote Bill Conner on desert man
euvers in California to Weir who
keeps in touch with his boys so
they'll lend to Husker cinder rise
after the war. "He wants to run

"No question as to Misouri's
supremacy," continued Weir re
viewing the current attraction at
Kansas City Saturday. "They are
just too strong- in the sprints,
hurdles and broad jump. Okla
homa and Kansas are cloaked in
secrecy and have no data on them
but we'll be in the thick of the
battle for the second spot. The

As we sit at our desk today
listening to the howl of the north
wind on the exterior and manag
ing editor, G. Willie Abbott, on
the interior, we wonder what in
thunder to fill this space with.
Spotlight in Cornhusker sports
circles this week-end focuses on
our Coliseum maples and on the
indoor boards of Kansas City's
muny auditorium. Here we have
the Iowa State-Husker court mix,
next-to-last Scarlet cage competi
tion. Big Six indoor tracksters who
have been giving league fans the
run around will run around for
league fans in the championship
sweepstakes at Kansas City Sat
urday eve. On this subject we
shall devote the remainder of the
column.
X comparison of times and
markings check in thus far Big
Six track and field artists points
to a decsive Missouri victory in
the final derby.

Only Husker chances to over

score of 52 to 33 last night. A
victory over Oklahoma Friday will
put the Big Six conference basket
ball crown in the bag for KU.
The Jayhawkers held a safe
26 to 16 lead at half time which
was never threatened thruout the
game.
Forward Otto Schnellbacher
paced the Kansas lineup by piling
up 20 points. He also led scorers
at the last meeting of the two
teams in Lincoln 10 days ago, with
19 points.
The Huskers survived the first
10 minutes, 12 to 7 but after that
it was all Kansas.
Jay Press
Dispatch
Hits Aggies
. . . War Ends All
LAWRftNCE, Kas., Feb. 24. Re
gardless of future permanent ath
letic relations between the Uni
versity of Kansas and the Okla
homa Aggies, Dr. F. C. "Phog
Allen pointed out today that Uncle
Sam had answered the question
for the duration of the war and
that unquestionably the basket
ball teams of the two institutions
would not meet again until after
the conclusion of the current in
ternational hostilities. After that
resumed athletic relations is a
matter for future consideration.
At the conclusion of the current
series, the Jayhawk cage mentor is
out in front of his Oklahoma rival,
nine games to five. While regular
Jayhawks and the Aggies met in
old Convention Hall in Kansas
City in 1936 in the Olympic play
offs and Allen's quintet downed
the Ibamen in a torrid battle, 34
to 28.
Phog Describes.
Uninterrupted competition be
tween two of the nation's out
standing coaches began in Stillwa
ter in 1938, where the Kansans
were invited to dedicate the Ag
gies' new fieldhouse, which inci
dentally Dr. Allen describes as
"the finest palestra in the United
States." On successive nights in
December, the Aggies defeated the
Allenmen, 21 to 15 and 25 to 19;
but in a return engagement in
Lawrence in February of the same
season, "Phog's" crew, consisting
chiefly of sophomores Howard En
gelman, Ralph Miller, John Kline,
Bob Allen, and others, turned the
tables in a 34 to 27 victory.
The 1939-40 series was divided
the men of Iba winning in Still
water by the narrow margin of
two points 24 to 22, and the Jay
hawks emerging victors in Law
rence 34 to 30. That same sea
son, in the N. C. A. A. playoffs in
Oklahoma City, the Kansans won
in an overtime period, 45 to 43.
In the 1941 season, the aggies
won at Stillwater and the Allen
men at Lawrence. 1942 saw a
continuation of the enemy court
jinx, and again the home crew won
in each instance the Lawrence
battle ending 31 to 28. and the
Stillwater contest resulting in a
40 to 33 victory for the Oklahom
ans. AIL-STAR

Before hopping on the train to

captains for the remainder of the
season.
Reliable Max Young, the old
standby, will captain the crew
against Iowa State here Saturday
night. Another three-year veteran,
John Fitzgibbon, will captain the

Jayhawks Quit
Aggie Matches
LAWRENCE, Kan., Feb. 23
Kansas broke off its athletic re
lations with the Oklahoma Aggies
today.
For the first time since the se
ries began. Coach Allen's team,
playing without the services of
the star forward and conference
record scoring champion, Charlie
Black, was able to shake off the
home court jinx, and whipped the
Aggies in their palatial fieldhouse
in Stillwater. 47 to 43, after an
earlier victory in Lawrence, 36 to
29.
It was the January 13 affair in
Lawrence, in which Iba finished
the game with only four men and
an available substitute on the
bench, which precipitated some
thing of a crisis in athletic rela
tions between the schools.
Incidentally, in the annual re
port of the Helm's Foundation,
just released. Coach Allen is rat
ed as the nlation's No. 1 basket
ball coach, with Iba in 13th place. -
It is significant that of the
games played on neutral courts
one in Oklahoma City and two in
! Kansas City, the Jayhawkers
I were undefeated. As a matter of
I fact, the Aggies have never de
' feated Kansas except in Seill
I water.
In the 14 games played, there
j is a difference of only 15 points
the men of Allen scoring 442 to
1 427 for Hank's defense strate
' gists.
The first specialized training
courses for WAVE officers opened
recently when 60 members of the
naval women's reserve invaded the
strictly masculine premises of the
Harvard business school to train
as supply officers.
Var college sophomores voted
this year to give up class rings and
buv wur bonds instead.
