Occur In Monday's Game
By GARY FR AND SEPT '
Sports Editor
There were two things we especially noticed during Monday
writ's action-packed basketball game between the Kansas Jay
Lawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Coliseum.
The first was the large number of fouls called during the
ruggea contest. Forty-seven personals, 30 of them against the
Muskers, were tooted off by officials Sam Pecoraro and Art Rust,
By the time everything was over and the boys from Mt.
Oread had tucked in their ninth Big Seven victory to take undls
rated possession of the conference lead, four Huskers and a lone
Kansan had been ushered to the sidelines because of the picking
up or tne dreaded "five." N
Games like that always bring up the old, kicked-around
Question, "Should the rules be drastically changed and how?"
From our humble viewpoint it looks like something must be
done and quickly, or basketball will be turned into a game that
will be decided by just who is the best expert at the charity
stripe.
.
A NUMBER of coaches of some of the leading collegiate
teams have come with suggestions, but most of it has been all
talk thus far. The rules committee of the NCAA, who usually
get together shortly after the season is completed, should have
plenty of pressure awaiting them as many of coaches and fans
alike are getting tired of watching the outcome of an important
game hinging on the success at the free throw line.
The Husker-Jay game wasn't the only skirmish suffering
from an excessive number of fouls. In the Iowa State-Oklahoma
game a staggering total of 51 fouls were called. Forty-nine fouls
were called in both the Iowa-Indiana and Michigan-Minnesota
games, so the situation is not localized..
THE SECOND aspect of Monday's game that attracted our
attention was the colorful, boisterous antics of the crafty old
doctor and coach of the clan of Kaw, Phog Allen, and his capable
assistant, Dick Harp.
It was a treat in itself to watch Dr. Allen and Harp gtt
carried away by the play of the Jays and the Huskers. It's too
bad they couldn't have gotten into the action with all the deter
mination and spirit exhibited.
When a timeout occurred, the fun really started. Never before
have we heard so many words In so few minutes. Some were
harsh and extremely criticizing, but it seemed to fire the Kansan
lads up with the determination to do a lot better. Maybe that's
what's behind all the success of Allen's basketball team.
Speaking of Kansas besketball, Allen and Harp really have
a find in sophomore Dallas Dobbs. Harp hit the nail on the head
when he told us Dobbs was a "natural." His one-handed jump
shot is one that rarely misses and his general floor play is out
standing. By the time the cool Bartlesville, Oklahoma, lad winds
up his Jay career, he should rank as one of the best guards in
conference history.
COACH OZZIE Cowles of Minnesota probably has basket
ball's golden boy for the current campaign in rugged Dick Gar
maker, a junior' forward who is a strong candidate for a spot
on any Ail-American squad.
Before the season had started Guard Chuck Mencel and Center
Ed Kalafat were slated to be the "big guns on the Gopher club,
but once the campaign rolled into high gear it was Carmaker, a
former Hibbing Junior College performer, who was carrying the
brunt of the load.
Monday night Carmaker became the first Gopher player in
history to score 400 points in a season by dumping home 26 points
in leading Minnesota to a 79-70 win over Michigan. The aggres
sive, 6-3, 200 lb. performer scored 14 out of 16 tries from the
gift lane.
Although his scoring has been sensational. Carmaker's work
underneath the boards has been brilliant Against Harry Good's
Nebraskans in December, Carmaker was controlling the rebounds
at both' ends. That's one good reason why he scores from the
free throw line like he does.

If things go true to form, the
Colorado Buffs should have
. plenty of trouble with big Bob
Waller, Oklahoma's starting
center and second high scorer,
this Saturday night in Nor

is almost a "must" for the sur
prising Buffs.

Coed Follies Practices Disrupt
Coffee Dates, Study Halls
V X'.VX' .
"Those Fabulous Coeds" shall
receive the same top billing as
"The Fabulous Redhead" at the
Nebraska Theater next week
with their glittering musical re
view saturated with short skirts
and weaving chorus lines.
Although skit chairmen are
guaranteeing top entertainment
for the nights of March 1 and 2,
late rehearsals are disrupting
coffee dates and study halls at
the eight follies-conscious houses
who are all working to win.
WITH FOUR weeks tests chal
lenging down slips this week,
show girls are trying to sand

Santee Nears
Several Great
Mile Records
Wes Santee is pulling close to
another one of Glenn Cunning
nam s teats as ne sears the in
door clay and cinders of mid
lands tracks in edging toward the
magic four-miute mile.
It isn't a specific Cnnninrham
record Santee has in his sights
It s a performance of glittering
consistency which helped embed
the old Elkhart Expresses' name
in gold letters on the world mile
scene. Between 1932 and 1940,
Cunningham, now a gentleman
farmer at Elmdale, Kan., ran 16
open miles in 4:10.0 or faster.
Santee now has 13 to his credit.
In fact, counting relay carriers.
the Ashland Antelope has bet
tered 4:10. the dividing level
which separates the good ones
from the great ones, no less than
17 times. Necessarily four of
these performances must remain
unofficial since they were relay
clackings. Santee can equal
Glenn s old mark before the in
door season has elapsed.
He'll get his chance in the Big
Seven championships Friday and
Saturday in Kansas City and the
Chicago Daily News Games
March 27.
The fabulous Cowpoke's latest
effort went for a new World In
door mark on a dirt track when
he blazed 4:04.9 against Michigan
State and Illinois in a tight tri
angular at East Lansing recently.
Aside from the 4-minut Mile,
the mincing Kansan has only
these goals left: 1) Gil Dodds in
door board-track world record of
4:05.3; 2 Cunningham's 4:04.4,
swirtest time ever recorded on
an indoor 'layout of any type;
and 3) Gundar Hagg's 4:01.4
world outdoor mark.

PHI DELTA Theta ruled the
I-M basketball activity last week
by raising their season's mark to
a brilliant 10-O mark by whipping
Alpha Gamma Rho and'winless
Kappa Sigma.
Both the Ag Jokers and the
Dubbers vaulted into a second-
place tie behind the All-University
leaders, the Phi Delts, by
taking a pair of impressive wins.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha
Tau Omega slipped to fourth and
fifth slots respectively although
they did win their games.
Pioneer Co-op and the Hayseeds
shot into a sixth place tie ahead
of Presby House and Sigma Chi
B. The AGR Grads and the Dental
Freshmen hold down the remain
ing positions with last week wins.
Most of the other teams in the
other divisions remained in about
the same place with several ex
ceptions. Beta Sigma Psi moved
into fifth place in the Fraternity
A class while the Sigma Chis
dropped to tenth because of a loss
to the Phi Gams.
Beta Theta Pi took over undis
puted possession of second place
in the B division after the de
fending championjthe AGRs, fell
before Theta Xi. The latter was
then removed from the league for
using an ineligible player.
The Hayseeds and Presby
House moved into third and fourth
place respectively in the Indepen
dent League followed by the AGR
Grads and the Dental Frosh in
fifth and L.S.A. in sixth.
