'Chintz' eyes another great term . . .
A lot of water has drifted under
the bridge since the recent Jay-hawk-Husker
basketball game a
week ago. And a varied number
of stories have arisen from the
"scrap" between an enthusiastic
Nebraska fan and Coach Phog Al
len of Kansas.
As for the . good doctor's
scratched cheek, refer to Coach
Wilbur Knight of the Husker base
ball team. Indirectly responsible
for the marring of Phog's whiskers
was Knight.
The baseball mentor was the fel
low who phot off the final gun at
the close of the basketball game.
A few seconds before the firing of
the gun, Thog 'rushed to the scor
er's and timer's desk to watch the
control of the electric clock.
Knight was eyeing the huge
timepiece in the south end of the
coliseum and when the big hand
approached the final second mark,
he fired the gun. Directly in line
with the pistol was Phog that
was how he singed his whiskers.
There was no fight or scuffle. Just
Phog's whiskers in the path of the
timer's gun.
Leaving Phog for the time be
ing, we turn our thoughts to other
phases of basketball. In the past
five years in the Big Six cage race,
there have been four ties for the
title. T. P. Hunter, Kansas for
ward, was named an honorable
mention position on the United
Press All Big Six cage team. But
for the first seven games this year,
the tall Jay regular failed to score
a single point.
Nebraska's basketball team real
ly made a splash in conference
cage play this season and finished
third, right behind Iowa State and
Kansas. Iowa State was the pre
season favorite due to an unde
feated non-conference schedule.
Two of the league games the Cy
clones lost were to Nebraska.
Maybe Nebraska's wrestling
team isn't so bad off after aU. The
Husker grapplers finished fourth
in the Big Six wrestle meet. Of
course, Kansas and Missouri were
not represented.
Here's an item for Coach Ed
Weir to worry about in the forth
coming Oklahoma Aggie-Nebraska
dual track meet
It's to story about W. L. Clap
ham, A. & M. broad-jumper. Sat
urday, he told an official at a
cinder meet that the pit looked
mighty small.
Said the official, "Son, the end
of that pit is 25 feet from the take
off. Yon arent in the habit of
jumping 25 feet .are you?"
On his first jump, Clapham
cleared 24 feet 1114 inches. Are

His strong sense of humor was
characterized in tales of Frence
Canadian frieds which he made
during his years in the North
woods country.
"Although the skeptical realists
who write only negations of life
are in the literary fashion today,
the very fact that the human race
keeps driving resolutely forward
through everything is evidence of
affirmations which give life mean
ing and beauty and zest."
