The scrappy Kansas Jayhawks will face their sternest Big Seven conference test of the young season tomorrow night when they meet the Kansas State Wildcats in their Manhattan lair. Tip-off time is 8:05 p.m.
The Jayhawks of cagey Coach "Phog" Allen ride into Manhattan just one-half game out of first place in the conference race with two victories in as many starts. Nebraska's 3-0 record leads the loop. K-State, 1-1 in the loop, will be out to do an about-face after its unexpected 75-88 trip-up to the Cornhuskers Monday night in Lincoln.
KU, its 6-straight winning skein snapped Tuesday by the Oklahoma Aggies, also will be out to initiate another victory string at the hands of the Cats, who have not been able to gain a decision over KU since the final contest of the 1952 league pre-season tournament at Kansas City.
Allen and his squad are hoping this trip will not be a carbon of the A&M-Kansas State trips of two seasons ago. In that year, the one the Jayhawks rode all the way to the Olympic Games at Helsinki, Finland, their only two regular season defeats were to the Aggies and Wildcats in two straight games on the road.
The attacks of both fives have been erratic and irregular. Kansas center B. H. Born led off the year with a big point producing splurge, but has tapered somewhat in more recent encounters, due possibly to an ankle which was injured before the third game, against Tulsa.
TEX WINTER
Wildcat Coach Tex Winter, who will be facing Allen, for the first time, contined heavily up skyscraper Jerrry Jung to fill the big gap left by the graduation of all American D. Baitn, B at the 6-11 giant was 'ineffectual at the start and the K-
State attack, possibly through necessity, was well balanced. In the consolation game of the Christmas tourney Jung hit his stride and has been racking up the points since then.
At first 6-5 forward Jesse Prisco was the big scorer for Winter, but as much as Jung has gained Prisco seems to have declined lately. Parallel to this at KU have been the rise of sophomore Dal Dobbs to that of a prolific scorer and the fall in the past two contests of usually high scoring Al Kelley.
Sub center Bill Brainard, who has an uncanny knack for collecting massive totals of free throws, has been a real find for Dr. Allen, while Winter's God-sends have been midget guards J. R. Snyder and Kent Snowy. Snnder is 5-10$, Poore 5-8$.
The two opponents have faced only one common foe so far this winter—Colorado. On the neutral Kansas City court the Jayhawks roped over the Buff 79-62 in the opening game of the tourney, while last Saturday K-State escaped with a 66-60 squeaker at Manhattan in a league game.
In the last United Press poll KU was ranked seventh and was 11th in the AP ratings. But this was before the loss to the fourth-rated Cowpokes.
Monday Kansas will return home to face the Iowa State Cyclones, while Kansas State will not see action again until next Saturday when it meets Missouri in Manhattan.

Charles' Chance Debate Subject
New York—(U.P.) The fight mob today weighed Ezzard Charles chances against Rocky Marciano, and the only thing they agreed on was that the Tabby turned Tiger deserved his shot at by-gone glory.
There were those who believed that Ezzard, who succeeded Joe Louis as the big fistic boss and blew it in a road-show series with Joe Walcott, was being unduly brash while sitting in the driver's seat. As of the moment, Charles is unquestionably the No. 1 challenger.
But Ezzard claims he isn't going to sit idly by while waiting for his chance at the title.
He has his sights set on preparatory matches with Nino Valdez and Dan Bucerconi. Either one of them, you might think, would ruin him.
Ezzard, a capable workman inside the ropes, doesn't think so now that his big chance is in sight. He believes that he can whip both Valdez, who defeated him the last time out, and Philadelphia Dan, who in brighter times would be just an average mixer.
Last summer when he did battle Valdez, Ezzard took the bout lightly. The answer is that he thought he would win, and did nothing physically to substantiate that theory. When he climbed into the ring with his opponent he simply wasn't in shape. The next time would be a different story, regardless of the fact that people often are struck by stray bullets.
The feeling here is that, while either Valdez or Bucerconi might ruin Ezzard with one lucky punch, you have to admire the guy for wanting to prove himself to himself—and that he probably can.
But Ezzard, with a title shot definitely committed, won't make that mistake again. He proved that this week against aggressive Bob Satterfield, when he kayoed the Chicagoan in the first minute of the second round.

League Leaders Face Tests In Basketball Play Tonight
New York—(U.P.)—Unbeaten Holy Cross faces a powerful challenge to its perfect 11-0 record tonight when it clashes with high-scoring Notre Dame in a major intersectional basketball game at the Boston Garden.
Also on tonight's college court program, Texas defends its Southwest conference lead against Rice, while California defends top place in the southern division of the Pacific Coast conference against Stanford.
Players Demand Firing of Coach
Lincoln, Neb.—(U.P.) The coaching career of Bill Glassford neared an end at Nebraska today after 35 players demanded his resignation because he had created what the players called "an element of fear."
The statement, made because "we want the public to know the element of our fear," came in the wake of mounting reports that the Nebraska grid post had been offered to former Husker star George Sauer.
Sports Editor Floyd Olds said in a copyrighted story in the Omaha World Herald that Sauer now the coach at Baylor, was being considered for the job of football coach and athletic director at his alma mater.
At a banquet in Lincoln Wednesday night, Glassford said he still is the football coach.
Glassford's refusal to submit to ouster demands halted the plan at least temporarily. Olds said.
Olds said the move to return Sauer to Lincoln was being stymied by the refusal of Glassford to resign.
At Waco, Texas, however, Sauer denied he had been offered the job and said "I don't know where Olds got his story."
Sauer has seven years to go on an estimated $12,000 yearly contract at Bavlor.
Sauer said he did not know whether he would be interested in the Nebraska job.
All the nearly 100 lakes in western North Carolina are artificial. The largest is Fontana in the Great Smokies, covering 10,800 acres.
Holy Cross goes into tonight's clash at Boston with the No. 5 national ranking by the United Press board of coaches while Notre Dame, which has lost twice in nine games, is ranked 17th nationally. The Irish record shows two victories over Northwestern and one each over such strong teams as Louisville, Detroit, and NYU, with losses to national champion Indiana and Bradley.
Texas took over first place in the Southwest conference, with a 3-0 mark by beating Texas A&M on Tuesday, but in Rice the Longhorns will meet the team that won the league's pre-season tournament, has the league's best overall record (11-1) and is generally regarded as the title favorite. Texas which has a 7-4 overall record, will have the home-court advantage.
California presently leads the PCC's southern section with a 2-0 mark. California and Stanford meet both tonight and tomorrow night while Southern Cal plays UCLA the same nights.
Colorado A&M took over sole possession of first place in the Skyline conference last night with a 32-51 victory over Denver. That made the Aggies' league record 4-0, compared to 3-0 for depending champion Wyoming, and their overall record 12-1. Wyoming will play Denver tomorrow night when the Aggies play New Mexico.
Pennsylvania's hopes of defending the Ivy league crown were dealt a heavy blow last night by Columbia, which beat the Quakers, 68-54, at New York. It was the first loss in three league starts for Penn and set back its chances of overtaking Cornell, which leads the league with a 4-0 record.
Columbia had only a 29-28 half-time margin but broke the game open in the third period by sinking nine of 17 shots to take a 58-39 lead. Ed Lehman, who led the Lions with 18 points, hit six set shots during that third period uprising. Bart Leach, Penn center, won game scoring honors with 20 points.
