Biff Jones' connection with the
University of Nebraska seems to
be at end.
According to a copyrighted
story released by the Omaha
World-Herald, Jones asserted that
he did not intend to return to Ne
braska and that he would release
the university from its contract
with him which would expire
shortly after the 1946 season.
Members of the athletic board
refused to comment, pending of
ficial word of the action direct
from Jones.
Throughout his tenure at Ne
braska, Jones-coached teams en
joyed success against the best
teams in the country. His overall
record shows a total of 28 wins,
14 losses and four ties in 46
games, for a percentage of .667,
excluding ties.
During his five years here, Ne
braska teams won the Bix Six
championship twice, finished sec
ond twice and fourth once.
Thus the University is faced
with the problem of securing a
new football coach. This is a mat-
Means Reveals
Plans for Cage
Tourney for KC
Louis E. Means, university di
rector of student physical welfare,
and a member of the executive
committee of the National Asso
ciation of Intercollegiate Basket
ball, has announced that the first
Christmas series of intersectional
basketball games sponsored by the
association will be held at the
Kansas City auditorium on De
cember 21-22 and December 28
29. K State Competes.
The two groups of games will
feature Loyola of New Orleans,
Kansas State, West Texas State;
Hamline University, Valparaiso
University, Marshall College, East
ern Kentucky State, and George
Pepperdine College of Los An
geles. Means was president of the as
sociation in 1942, helping to put
on the national tournament at
Kansas City that year as well as
introducing one of the largest
basketball clinics ever attempted,
in connection with the tournament.
Kennedy Reviews Book
Dr. Gerald Kennedy will re
view "The World, the Flesh and
Father Smith," by Marshall, for
the Religious Eook Review group,
meeting in room 315 of the Union
at 5 p. m. Thursday.
Everyone is invited to the re
view, according to Helen Laird,
committee chairman.
Bob Hope was supposed to eat
grapes and spit out the seeds in
Paramount's "Monseiur Beau
caire. Property grapes turned out
to be Thompson seedless so Bob
spat Grapenuts.
Bob Hope's mass of guns, flags,
swords and other war trophies
grew so big he was foed to
build 'another room on his San
Fernando valley home to house
the collection.
ter which needs to be solved im
mediately, for the position of foot
ball coach is now a twelve month
job, and the sooner a new man
can be on the job, the sooner the
Huskers will begin to rise to their
prewar place in the football world.
One man who should definitely
not be overlooked is Potsy Clark
He had indicated his liking for
Nebraska and his stay here has
been marked by success on the
gridiron and in his relations with
others connected with the athletic
department.
Clark has also said that he has
no delinite plans for next year
yet.
The Nebraska team improved
Steadily . throughout the season,
finishing the year with four con
secutive victories, and would have
made things interesting for Okla
homa, Missouri and Iowa State,
had these teams been faced during
November.
Crtdit for this steady improve
ment goes to Potsy Clark and the
rest of the coaching staff. An
other fine accomplishment was the
fact that over sixty men were still
out for football when the season
ended.
Formation of the Nubbins kept
much of this interest alive, and
many boys who were not ready
for varsity competition this season
were well grounded in fundamen
tals and will be ready to show
their stuff next fall.
The coach who takes over the
coaching reins will have a squad
well-drilled in the ludiments of
the game. Only one man, end Wil
lard Bunker, will be lost by grad
uation, and Husker prospects are
bright for next year.
Potsy Clark built for the future.

The stipulation had been made
that a team must have six men
cross the finish line in order to
qualify for team supremacy. The
Phi Gams, besides splitting the
first and second point total, picked
up ten bonus points by having
more than 12 men finish and
moved out in front in the Jack

Jayhawk Cage Hopes High
Black Retiirns to Kansas
This is the first in a series of
reports on the basketball pros
pects of other Big Six schools,
LAWRENCE, Kas., Nov. 28.
There isn't a reutrning regular in
camp, but Dr. F. C. Allen and his
Kansas Jayhawkers will make
more than a passing bid for the
1945-46 Big Six basketball gon
falon.
The good doctor, who hasn't
herded his Red and Blue flock to
the pennant roost for two years,
is sticking to a conservative de
meanor. But the early season ar
ray of talent on the Jayhawker
hardwoods is anything but drab
Black Returns.
First and foremost is the fact
that Charlie Black, the 1942 All
America forward, is tack for his
final year of competition. The
long, loose six foot four and a
half inch scorer with the magic
arms "and stoop shoulders already
has started his old specialty of
sweeping off rebounds with one
hand and is a cinch to be in the
middle of the conference scoring
race from the outset.
Another central figure now la
boring in a full workout sched
ule of five days per week is Gene
Petersen, the six foot seveu inch
transfer from Nebraska, who
vaulted into prominence last year
as a 17 year old Cornhusker
freshman by bagging runner-up
honors in the point making de
partment and landing a second
team all-conference berth.
Add to this pair a nucleus of
six holdover lettermen and a tre
mendously talented freshman crop
and it's easy to absorb the idea
that the .Jayhawks will have
something to say about who nails
up this season's cage pennant.
Heading the frosh lineup are
two all-state aces off the cham
pionship Salina high school club
of last season, a towering for
ward off the runner-up Topeka
quintet, an all-state center from
the 1943 Hays high state kings
of 1943, and a splendid forward
from the runner-up Wyandotte
five of 1942.
Salina Aces.
The Salina trumps include
Gene Anderson, six foot six and
a half inch center, who is a curly
haired battler off the backboards
and an ardent point-maker, and
Jack Lippoldt, silken-smooth ball-
hawking guard who gave the
champions that inevitable spark
all season.
Maurice Martin, six foot four
inch driver from Topeka; Gib
Stramel, a jumping-jack center
from Hays, and John Kanas,
clever forward from Kansas City,
Kas., complete the top frosh cast
Martin blossomed as one of the
most dangerous prep hoop-hitters
in the state last season and also
was a constant workhorse on the
backboards. Stramel averaged 12
points per game as a V-12er for
Washburn last season until forced
out with a charley-horse. Kanas,
just out of the service, played a
season at Kansas City Junior col-

Despite this lineup, Allen in
sists that his 40-man squad is no
barn-burner. Too many fresh
men and V-12s re maintains.
"And here's another thing about
vhese returning fliers," Phog
warned in summir7 up his per
sonnel. "Those boys like Charlie
Black who have been flying have
not been using their legs much.
They are out of shape nine times
out of ten. It may take some of
them a long time to get into con

without veterans."
