LAWRENCE, Kans., Dec, —- The most ambitious basketball schedule in the history
of the Big Six Conference finds every team busily engaged in regular season games
this week as the freshman eligibility rule for the member schools awaits definite
action by the Big Six Athletic Board which meets in Kansas City Saturday.

Eighty-six games have been scheduled by the six schools for play during the
1942-43 basketball season. This is an increase of eight games over the schedule
of a year ago, The two conference co-champions, Kansas and Oklahoma, lead the
pack in respect to non-conference games. These two schools play as many games of
this nature as do the other four members combined,

Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, who is starting his 26th year of basketball
coaching at the University of Kansas and his 32nd year of coaching, has outlined
a teriffic schedule for his Jayhawker cagers to weather this year, Besides the
ten regular conference games, eight other intercollegiate foes have been selected
as well as seven games with service teams of the nation, making a total of 25
scheduled games,

The Jayhawks will be making tieir second trip to New York City when they meet
Fordham University in Madison Square Garden December 28, The University of Oklahoma,
playing 13 non-conference games, will also appear in the Garden, playing St. Johns
College Dec. 19.

An oddity of the composite Big Six schedules this year is that no school goes
farther west than Wichita to play a game, although Oklahoma and Kansas reach the
eastern seaboard and ilissouri and Nebraska get as far east as Champaign, Illinois.
