Big Six Teams
In Nation-Wide
Jaunts For Xmas

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 12. —(UP)—Five of the Big Six con-
ference basketball. teams will indulge in intersectional jaunts
that will carry them from coast to coast before their league
schedules begin this year, but the sixth, the Missouri Tigers,

will be a bunch of “stay at homes.”
While their league brothers from Nebraska are basking in |

California’s sunshine and while Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa State | |

and Kansas State engage in?

junkets to the east, Missouri’s
boys are going to stick to an
intra-state schedule which in-
cludes games with Westmins-
ter, Washington, St. Louis Uni-
versity and Springfield Teach-

Meet Indians in Two Sports

Incidentally, Nebraska’s basket-
eers are going to play on the west
coast at the same time that the
Cornhusker football champions of
the Big Six are meeting Stanford
in the Rose Bowl. Even more of a
co-incidence is the fact that one of
Nebraska’s basketball opponents
will be Stanford. The basketball
schedules were made out long he-
fore the Husker football team was
invited to the Rose Bowl, however,
so Coach Harold Brown of the bas-
ketball five figures it simply as a
“lucky happenstance.” The Huskers
start their basketball swing on the
day after Christmas at Berkeley,
playing California. On the next
night, Dec. 27, they play Stanford
at Palo Alto, then go north to meet
Oregon State at Corvallis on Dec.
30. This will give them plenty of
time to get back down to Pasadena
by New Year‘s Day.

Oklahoma, Kansas and Kansas
State all will go on eastern junkets
which will take them to the At-
lantic coast.

Jayhawkers in Garden

The Jayhawkers will play “one
night stands” at New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago, starting at
Madison Square Garden on Dec. 28

when they play the Fordham Rams.
