Phog Dislikes NCAA Ruling
On Plate Glass Backboards
LAWRENCE, March 16. An
nouncement by the N. C. A. A.
committee that clear plate glass
backboards would be used in the
Western finals at Kansas City,
and in the national championship
content, drew & poignant observa
tion from Dr. Forrest C. "Phog"
Allen, today.
In commenting on the commit
tee's decision, the Doctor, whose
Jayhawker quintet meets Henry
Iba's Oklahoma Aggies in the
Fifth District playoffs Tuesday
evening, remarked:
The Law It Against It.
"The law of averages Is against
our getting in to use the glass
backboards at all, inasmuch as we
have defeated the Aggies in two
previous playoffs for the right to
important representations. But
whether we got past them or not
does not alter the fact that the
use of such backboards is clearly
illegal. Here Is a tournament to
determine the national collegiate
basketball champion and the N. C.
A. A. is sanctioning the use of
illegal equipment."
In making the charge, Dr. Allen
quoted Rule 2, Section 1, page 165
of the manual of official basket
ball guide for 1941-42 issued by
the National Basketball Commit
tee of the United SUtcs and
Canada, which reads:
Quoting Rule.
"The backboard shall consist of
plate glass, steel, or wood, or of
any other material that is flat or
rigid. Each face shall be a plane
surface, and shall be painted
white."
The N. C. A. A. rivalry between
the two conferences extends back
to the first year of the national
tournament, 1939. In that year
Oklahoma represented this dis
trict. The next year produced a
mare of possibilities with Kansas
finally emerging from ft four-ring
I'layoff as the champion. In the
'"ial game Oklahoma A. and M.
was defeated at Oklahoma City
45 to 43.
Creighton Tripped.
lAt year Creighton and Iowa
Slate met for the honor and
Creighton gained the first Mis
souri Valley victory, 57 to 38, to
nrn the right to compete at Kan
sas City.
With the score standing at 2 to
. In District Playoff
1 in favor of the Big Six, the Jay
hawkers will be intent upon in
creasing this lead. Leading the at
tack for the Kansans will be their
high-scoring all-conference pair of
Ralph Miller and Charlie Black.

In K City With Satisfaction
NORMAN, OWaM March 16.
Sweeping 11 of their last IS
games to tie for their third Big
Six basketball championship in the
last four years, Oklahoma's ado
lescent hoopstcrs can look ack
with pleasure and satisfaction
upon their 1942 season.
Altho uninvited to the N. C.
A. A. fifth district playoff at Kan
sas City because of the Big Six
rule that wards that distinction to
the co-champion with the greatert
margin between offensive and de
fensive scoring, Coach Bruce
Drake's kids proved their class by
pinning clean-cut late season de
feats on Kansas and Oklahoma
A. and M., who contend at Kansas
City Tuesday for the right to
represent the fifth district in the
national collegiate tourney.
Oklahoma shot down Kansas 63
to 51 at Norman February 27,
building the all-time record score
against the Jayhawkers since
basketball started at Lawrence in
1899. Boring into Coach Hank
Iba's water-tight Oklahoma Aggie
defense like hungry squirrels into
a hickory nut, the Sooners also
nipped the Aggies at Norman
Thursday night, 39 to 82.

Goes Strong
In I-M Play
After the first week of intra
mural table tennis competition,
the Zeta Beta Tau, Thi Gamma
Delta, Beta Sig, and Delta Upsilon
ping pongers are resting in first
position in their respective
leagues.
The ZBT team attained its po
sition by virtue of a 4-1 victory
over the Sammies. The Sammy
outfit then gained a tie for second
place with the Farm House when
they defeated the Farm House
4-1.
Phi Gams Lead.
Individual victories by Thomp
son, Morton and Meitz kept the
Thi Gams in top position of league
2, when the Fijis nipped the Delta
Sigs 3-2. The Beta representa
tives are in second place although
they are unbeaten. The Betas have
only played one match while the
league leaders have played two.
The Beta Sigs moved in front
of the Kappa Sigs when the Delta
Tau Delta team failed to show up.
The other win was over AGR 3-2.
The only Kappa Sig victory was
over Theta Xi.
There are three undefeated
teams In league 4, but the DUs
led by Harry Ankeny have two
wins to their credit wnile the Sig
Alphs and Sig Nus have only one
victory.
Individuals Shine.
- During the first week of play,
certain individuals shone a little
more than the average player.
Harry Ankeny's performances
were mainly responsible for the
DU's climb to the top position.
Norm Rips and Buddy Goldstein
of the ZBTs have been very out
standing. SAM's hopes have been
high, because of the excellent
work of Norman Veta, city cham
pion of Cheyenne, Wyo. Bob Fast
and Pete Durland of the Sig Alph
team are the reasons why the fav
ored DU's will have to watch their
step if a championship in league 4
is to be won.
Bill Pfeiff Takes
Coaching Reins
... At Nebraska
Bill rfeiff, erstwhile Husker
grid guard and shot putter, was
appointed head Scarlet frosh coach
Saturday and assistant track men
tor. Ffeiff resigned from his head
coaching post at Norfolk to accept
the Cornhusker position. His new
duties include the job of frosh
scholarship chairman, a job where
in Pfeiff can capitalize on his rep
utation as & high ranking scholar.
Constantly hitting 49 feet in
university competition, Pfeiff holds
the present Nebraska high school
record of 52 feet 2 inches. He
served two years as graduate as
sistant coach before moving to
Norfollc.
the Sooners in earlier games, Kan
sas inflicting a 54-32 drubbing at
Lawrence early in January, the
day after Gerald Tucker was pro
nounced ineligible, and Iba's me
thodical Aggies handling the
Sooners 27-19 at Stillwater
March 6.
Lose But One.
Barring losses to the military
service, the Sooners retain all their
club for next season save Don
"Bones" Jones, playing his first
season st Norman but graduating
because he piled up two years of
scolastic work at Bartlesville
Junior college before enrolling
here.
Coach Drake will also go to
work on a freshmen squad fea
turing such useful material as
Jack Watkins of Tribbey, perhaps
the outstanding prospect; George
Logan of Tulsa, James "Cotton"
Covington of Savannah, Jack Fel
ber of Tulsa, Elton Davis of Nor
man and several others.
Three men who would have been
eligible this season, Allie Paine,
Shelby Green and Gamett Corbin,
have gone into the service while a
fourth, Mitch Simon, left the team
at mid-season for the same pur
pose. ,

Brings Home a Record
Harold Hunt, Nebraska's gift to the ether waves, came home
wearing the crown of a world's champion. . .At the Butler Relays in
Indianapolis on Saturday, Husker Harry climbed to a 14-1 4 ceiling
in the pole vault... This mark established a new world's mark in the
pole vault event off a dirt track runway. . .This is the second time
that Hunt has sailed over the 14 foot barrier.
Huskert Trail
The squad as a whole did not do too badly at the relays with
Notre Dame winning the university division. Thit broke Michigan's
eight year reign over the event... The Michigan team finished fourth
behind Nebraska in third place and Ohio State in second... Vic
Schleich in putting the 16 pound Iron ball farther than he has at
any time during this year took second in that event won by Delaney
of Notre Dame with a heave lacking three-fourths of an inch of
being an even 50 feet.
Other Point Winners
Edsel Wibbels, usually the guiding light in the shot event, was
forced to accept third . Schleich reached over 49 feet while Wibbels hit
over the 48 foot mark. . .Howard Debus, vaulter, tied for fourth in
that event with a 13 foot recording. . .Gene LRtler tallied a third
in the 60 yard dash while the Husker's two mile relay team crossed
the final line in fourth position.
Outdoor Season Starts
This meet was the last in which the Huskert will appear on
the inside at the outdoor work gets under way... One of the major
differences in the two lies in the longer sprints and hurdle events
...Then also there will be the javelin and discut added to the field
events... The Scarlet cindermen are defending champs on the out
door track in addition to the similar spot that they hold in the
inside... Big event on the calendar of the not too distant future
will be the National Intercollegiate Track and Field championships
to be held on the Nebraska track, June 19-20... This was the meet
held at Stanford last spring, and will bring together the elite of the
nation's collegiate track stars.
Golf and Tennis Enthusiasts
John Selleck, newly appointed director of sports, has announced
the following schedule for golf and tennis. . .April 24 Iowa State,
there... May 18 Oklahoma, here... May 15 Iowa State, here... To
facilitate transportation the two teams will have identical schedules
and some matches may be added te this list. . .Missouri, Kansas U
and Kansas State have abolished both sports for the duration.
Nothing Happened
Due to the dripping clouds on Saturday afternoon, Coach Glenn
Presnell was forced to cancel scheduled plans for an intra-squad
battle. . .Weather permitting Press guarantees a couple of the scrim
mage sessions for thit week... It brings out the best football in a
player when there is an intra-squad rivalry in the making to thinks
Mr. Presnell.
