Not to be forgotten amid all the spectacle and festivities is the fact that a basketball game is to be played between Kansas and Kansas State in the Allen fieldhouse tonight. Tipoff time is 7:30 p.m.
A loss for either team could mean the eventual loss of a position in the Big Seven race, but for the first time in many a year nothing even close to a title chance hangs in the balance of the outcome.
Kansas, its season record even at nine-all and mired in fifth place in the league with a 3-6 mark, could drop behind sixth place Iowa State should KU lose this and one of two of its remaining games.
Kansas State, the other principal in the clash, has been taking it on the chin of late, last losing to Colorado at Manhattan Saturday night. The Wildats, tied with Nebraska for third in the conference at 6-5, must win if they are to retain hopes of finishing at least in a tie with the Huskers. Overall, K-S state stands 11-9.
The Jayhawks have taken five straight games from Coach Tex Winter's Wildcats, the last being a 78 to 68 upset Feb. 12, spoiling the dedication of Ahearn fieldhouse at Manhattan.
The Wildcats have been unable to stop Kansas since they won the final game of the 1952 pre-season tourney at Kansas City, Mo. Nor have they been able to defeat KU here since 1951. In 128 games in the overall series, KU holds a comfortable 85-43 margin.
Both coaches tentatively plan to stick with the same lineups that have been starting in the last several games. Averaging the entire teams, Kansas will start with exactly a 4-inch advantage.
Ample Space For Lockers In Fieldhouse
By BOB BRUCE
Even though all sports departments eventually will move into Allen fieldhouse, there will be no problem involved in providing participants sufficient locker room space, as seven locker rooms have been constructed within the huge structure.
At present only the dressing rooms for the basketball players, coaches, and officials have been completed. However, when the interior of the fieldhouse is finished, there also will be dressing rooms for football, baseball, and indoor track athletes.
All dressing rooms are located on the ground level on the west side. The showers for athletes and showers and sitting rooms for the coaches and officials also are on the west side.
The equipment room for all sports and the laundry are on the east side of the south corridor. Directly across the hall are the football and indoor track locker rooms with showers between the two. The locker room reserved for football is particularly large because of the amount of equipment used and the large number of participants. North of these two rooms is the west lobby.
Both the home and visiting basketball teams' locker rooms are north of the west lobby. In between the two locker rooms are the showers.
Located on the east side of the north corridor are the officials' dressing room and showers.
All locker rooms are constructed to facilitate easy cleaning. The lockers are built several inches off the floor and the benches are attached to the bottom of the lockers with no part of them touching the floor.

Arena to Get Two Murals
Amidst the sweating and straining athletes who will compete in the Allen fieldhouse will be two objects of refinement—murals of Drs. Forrest C. Allen and James A. Naismith.
The paintings will hang in the main lobby on the north and south walls. They probably will be unlined at a basketball game next season.
Work on Dr. Allen's portrait will be started after the close of the current basketball season by Daniel MacMorris, Kansas City artist, who has done many murals of University notables. He recently completed a portrait of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy. The 1923 national championship team probably will donate the work.
Sigma Phi Epsilon social fraternity is sponsoring the canvas of Dr. Naismith, who is credited with inventing basketball and who coached at Kansas in the early 1900s. He was an honorary member of that fraternity.
Harry M. Stevens, who died a multi-millionaire 55 years after coming to this country, was the first concessionaire for baseball parks. He invested $700 to sell a better scorecard, and was the first to sell hot dogs at a baseball game in 1897 at the Polo Grounds.

Parking Poor Now, But Will Improve
By TED BLANKENSHIP
Parking facilities for the Auen fieldhouse are not so good now, but things are "looking up."
Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor, said plans are in preparation for walks and drives in the area immediately adjacent to the new fieldhouse. Contracts for the paving of walks and service areas are expected to be in by mid-summer, he said.
The service areas close to the fieldhouse will get first preference because it is necessary for coaches and other officials to have parking space.
Paving plans include areas north of the building to 15th street and the space directly across Michigan street, east from the fieldhouse and south of the present intramural fields. Mr. Lawton said plans are only tentative and in the drawing
board stage.
"We have the space and other areas will be developed as the money is available," he said.
