Biff Jones stopped in Nor man, Okla., for a spell Tuesday and offered these words of wis dom: "Stanford's great backfield of Albert, Kmetovic, Gallarneau and Standlee would be Just as danger ous from the Warner, Notre Dame or short punt as it was from the T." Jones said he would like to see Nebraska prep schools adopt the T to improve their ball handling. "Because of our cold weather, Nebraska high school players who come to us don't know as much about passing Uie ball as boys far ther south," Jones elaborated. There ought to be a story in this little item which should break in the east very soon: Coach Frank Leahy of Boston college has not yet signed his con tract for next year.

Kansas State's Wildcats, encour aged by their surprise victory over Oklahoma, will defend their home court again Friday this time seeking revenge for a 33 to 23 licking suffered at the hands of Nebraska at Lincoln ten days ago. Coach Jack Gardner thinks highly of the Huskers, especially their star guards, Sid Held and Don Fitz. "Nebraska ia a team of tremendous height, speed and potential scoring ability," Baid the K-State mentor. "Even in defeat Nebraska has scored. We're go ing to have to play better ball Fri day than we did against the Husk ers at Lincoln or than we did against Oklahoma If we hope for victory. Gardner admitted a lack of men capable of guarding Fitz and Held. tsui nc Dcueves nis K-staters will be tougher as a result of confi dence gained by the win over the Sooners. Seniors do duty A pair of dependable seniors Forward Chris Langvardt and Guard Norris Holstrom c a m c through in the final seconds of the Oklahoma contest to provide K-State with its victory chance in one of the most thrilling contests ever played in Nichols gymnasium. With only five seconds remain ing in the regulation game, Okla homa led 36 to 34 and had" pos session of the ball out of bounds. Holstrom intercepted the pass into the court, whipped the ball down to Langvardt who flipped through a one-handed shot to tie the count as the gun rounded. Holstrom and Larry Braumont, guard, ac counted for the five points in the overtime period which gave K-State the game, 41 to 36. Gardner was pleased with the fight and determination of his ball club. But he blamed poor ball handling end a temporary weak ening of the defense for the Wild cats' loss of the lead in the last five minutes after thev had been ahead from the outset. The same quintet which took the floor against the Huskers at Lincoln will start Friday. This group includes Jack Horacek and Dan Howe, forwards; Tom Guy, center: and Holstrom and R,mi. mont, guards.

Probably the brightest thing in this sporting country is the selection of a coach to fill the shoes left vacant by Husker alumnus, Francis Schmidt, at Ohio State. Pauf Brown, Ohio high school coach is the new men tor. Brown's selection has the ap proval of the Ohio fans. Irvin S. Cobb, Lincoln visitor for a few days says, "I've studied the international situation for many years and it seems to me that the Cornhuskers have a swell chance next year."
