 Coach Hank Iba idoesn't have big Bob Kurland anymore, but the Old Master from Saltwater, Okla, hasn't lost the knack of producing topnotch teams such as the ones that brought him the NCAA title two years straight before the Az gies lost out last season.
 The Aggies chalked up their 18th victory in IA starts by tripping Kan sas, 47-35, on the Jayhawks' home floor at Lawrence. This was a feat in itself.

The Aggies trailed. 22-17, at the half, but went ahead at 32-31 midway of the second half and stayed there the rest ot the way.

Confratfsf for
 Athletes 10 Get
 Attention Now

BOSTON, Jan. 21-tH-A long list of sports notables, headed hy Laseball's Dixie Walker and Johnny (Fireman) Murphy will appear as obiectors at the State House today during a legislative hearing on a bill that would outlaw the reserve clause in contracts of professional ath- letes employed by Massachusetts or ganizations
 The measure, filed at the request of Robert Murphy, Boston Labor Relations Counsel, would prohibit employment contracts in which the employers reserve the right to sell or exchange the personal service of an employee, or to renew contracts of employment without the em- employees consent
 Passage of such legislation would make a professional athlete free agent, in a position to sell his ser vices to the highest bidder, on ex- piration of his contract.
 The reserve clause is the back bone of baseball said Walker, the star outfielder recently traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates by the Nation al League pennant-winning Brook lyn Dodgers. Major League baseball players, most satisfied group these days, are convinced they need that clause as much as the club owners do"

 NEW YORK, Jan. 22-tR-A few days ago Matty Begovich, a top rank referee and coach, sounded off at length on basketball fouls and officiating and said, among other things, that lot of the blame should be put on coaches who teach race horse basketball and those who send players out on defense to get tke ha1l any way they can and start running.
 The same night Carl Braun of the New York Knickerbockers played the full 48 minutes against the Phil adelphia Warriors and wasn't foul ed once-Only ten fouls were called against the Warriors, which is prob atly record.
 This seems to prove that skilled operatives can play basketball with out fouling-and maybe the solu- ton to the whistle-tooting plauge is not to blame the referees, liberal ize rules and interpretations or in- crease the number of fouls permit ted, but to reduce that number and lgo back to the original idea-hwich was to play clean or get out of the game.

Yum-Yumski? Creumpuffov?

1t is hard to decide just what to make
OF Miss P. Bedrosova. She has written an
article bitterly attacking her fellow
Russians for using foreign names to
describe sweets and other delicacies in
vented abroad but now produced in the
Soviet Union. She is disguised with the
practice. She says it is an unseemly rem
nant of bourgeois, capitalstic thinking.
BY implication, moreover, she suggests
that it is counterrevolutionary threat to
the Marxist-Leninist party lire and hence
q thing to be dealt with most severely, like
Tito.
Take the word "cakes," for instance.
Miss Bedrosova, a Leningrad school
teacher, is in high dudgeon over the fact
that 1t has been incorporated into the
Russian language as "keks." Similarity,
sandwich" and "kreker" for our own
Miss Bedrosova is particularly incensed to
know that Soviet citizens still say
''parfait," "petit-four," peach melba,"
"eclair," pate de foie gras," etc.. ETC.,
when patriotism should impel them to ask
for such things-aSsuming any are avail
able-in the native tongue, preferably with
a good old-fashioned "ski'' or "ov" at the
end.
II Miss Bedrosova had not written her
discourse with q straight face for ''Izves-
tia" the serious minded government
newspaper, it would be possible to consider
her comic. But she is no comic. She sees
red when any Russian says "eclair' or
'peach melba" and it apparently will do no
good to remind her, in the vein of Shake
speare, that that which we call an "eclair"
or peach melba" would still be the same
and taste as sweet even if called "Molo-
tov creampuffov' or Stain yum
yumski"
Certainly, If there is a Soviet prize for

In view of the recurrent summer epidemics,
progress is being made slowly but surely
against poliomyelitis. There was q time
when the struggle against smallpox and
other dread diseases appeared to be hope
less, but they have long since been wiped
out in every modern land. What hap
pened to them can happen to polio. If
man does not relax in his battle against it.,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that
he will yet triumph over it-and perhaps
sooner than he dares to hope
