Once-Beaten Junior College Squad Ready To Give Good Account in Non-Conference Game Here With Fast-Breaking Ducks K-State Sets Scoring Mark, Lead Wildcats Pour It On Iowa State, 88-57, as Buffs Drop Nebraska KANSAS'CITY, Jan. 17--(ff) --The Kansas. State Wildcats set a Big Seven conference basketball scoring record and took sole possession of the-loop lead last, night by routing Iowa State 99 to 57.

Nebraska, with whom they had shared the lead, lost to Colorado 72-to 59 and skidded into a-second place tie with idle Kansas. With no more conference in 1948. Kansas games until Saturday, the standings look like this for the rest of the week--Kansas State (20) 1.000, Nebraska (2-1) and Kansas (2-1) .667, Colorado (11) .500 State (1-2) and Oklahoma (1-2) .333, Missouri (0-2 .000.

Everyone of the 16 Wildcats bn the' bench got in the act.

All but two contributed to the score. Rick Harmon picked up 16 points in 15 minutes of service. Blow to Buskers Nebraska's setback at Boulder a rude shock. The Huskers had been doing nicely with two straight conference wins. But the Buffaloes applied handcuffs to the Husker's 'high scoring Milton Waitehead.

The schedule for the rest of the week: Tomorrow--Oklahoma vs Oklahoma Aggies at Still-water; Missouri vs Wichita University at Saturday--Colorado at Okla- The pressure is off for Moberly Junior College's non-conference hardwood skirmish here tonight with the Chillicotbe Business College Ducks. All the tension which had been by degrees with each successive win should: have been lost in the Greyhounds heart-breaking 54-52 set back at the hands of St.

Joseph last Friday. Now that the string of victories is a thing of the past the Hounds should be ready to give a good account of themselves here tonight. The Moberly squad will race on the floor with a record of A i i I seven victories in eight games, LiCUXl second in the state only to west Baptist of Bolivar, claiming a 9-1 mark. Past Break Respected Chillicothe, specializing on a highly-respected fast break and rugged rebounding tactics, lias been in-an-out in four early games. The Ducks have toppled Trenton and St.

Joseph and bowed to Moberly (56-52) and Hannibal LaGrange (57-48). Coach Maurice John has had little -trouble convincing the Greyhounds that they'll have their hands full tonight. Though it is accepted that St. Joseph had a "bad" night at Chillicothe-i- possibly pointing to the Moberly game that followed--the Ducks must have shown great improye- ment over their early match with the Hounds. Moberly had' to go all-out in the closing of its Dec.

16 game with the Ducks to finally post a four-point victory. Chillicothe Trouble-Makers Giving the Red and Grey clads the most trouble at Chillicothe were Bill Bosch, Garland (Hump) Campbell, and Junior McGinnis. Bosch poured in 17 points, Campbell collected 14 and McGinnis added 12, which is reason enough for the Hounds to be especially watchful when the trio gets within firing range. The Ducks will probably have their defense coiled to halt Bob Madole and Glenn Cafer, two of Moberly's leading scorers. Madole caged 16 points and Cafer 15 meeting.

Another fine crowd is expected to be on hand for the game, though 'the throng is not expected to equal the over-flow audience watching the loss to St. Joseph. Game time is 8 o'clock with the doors of the building scheduled to be opened iat 7 o'clock. Business Good for DeWitt Fishermen On Missouri River BRUNSWICK, Jan. 17 --Commercial fishing on the Missouri river near Brunswick has been yielding good returns for William Simmons and Homer Chads, DeWitt fishermen.

Over the weekend the two men brought in total of 362 pounds of yellow catfish which was purchased by the Pritz Gottschalk Market here. The prize catch was a 57-pound yellow cat. Another weighing 46 pounds was a close second. The men also caught about 60 pounds of "boneless cat, a fish of the spoonbill variety, and a large number of carp.

Slim Jim Slaughter, the University of South Carolina's gangling six foot. 11 inch center, is gaining recognition as one of the south's outstanding basketball players. If the junior continues his present improvement pace, he could wind up among the top aces of the court sport, offensively and defensively About all Slaughter provided his freshman year, when Southern Conference rules permitted him to play on the varsity, was comic relief. He was anything but comic relief this season to high-ranking Duke University's quintet when he popped in 30 points in a 5444 South Carolina win. His an over the place defense under the basket limited Duke fast-breaking and usually high scorers to pop shots from far out.

Awkward as Freshman Slaughter's awkwardness as a freshman was embarassing at times. He tripped over his own feet at crucial points and fouled out of games so fast that his name in the lineup was hardly more than a courtesy gesture. A shower of criticism soaked Coach Frank Johnson for putting up with the beanpole 19-year- old But Johnson, "a University of Georgia star guard in the 1930's, fended off the attacks untiringly with and worked Slaughter. Dividends began to roll in last year. Slaughter was the reason South Caroline squeezed into the conference tournament despite an otherwise notoriously weak team.

He racked up 38.1 points in 22 games for a 17.3 average. The team he's working with this year is a little stronger- more height and speed, but light on experience. "Slaughter bucketed 80, points in four games this season before the close of the holidays. He has grown two inches and put on 20 pounds, to scale an even 200, since coming to the university. More important, he has gained in confidence and stamina.

He has played an average of all but five minutes of every game both this season and last. Shoots With Either Hand i The tall center shoots from a 180-degree pivot, right or left handed, with about 70 percent accuracy. He was only about 30 percent "accurate, as a yearling. Johnson a Slaughter's value as a defensive player greater than the sky boy's scoring potential. "He's quick and he anticipates his opoonents," Johnson says.

"That's" unusual in so lanky a player. He's a whiz of a table tennis player and it's that game that helps him keep his quick reflexes and sharp eye in training." Slaughter is an average student who has no trouble keeping up with his books. He played basketball for two years "at Jefferson high in his hometown of Roanoke. then sea- stned his game for a year at Augusta Military School at Fort De-, Va.

LOUIS, Jan! 17 (5) -Little Willie Pep, matchless mas-' ter of the featherweight boxers, put his title on the line last night and it back, when he was good and ready--at one minute and five seconds of the fifth round. Up to that point Pep.had been dancing, almost playing with the. little St.

For four rounds they waltzed around, with now and then a flurry of right and left jabs-mostly from. Pep, for the chunky Riley couldn't find a place for his good right. Then, in the fifth, Pep found a place for his knockout punch and he let it go.
