Kansas and Oklahoma, two Big Seven squads that received second division spots in pre-season cage forecasts, will battle for the conference lead in a crucial game at Hoch auditorium tonight. Tip-off time is 7:35.
Coach Bruce Drake's first place Sooners will be playing their first Big Seven game on the road after posting a 3-1 record at Norman, OU, which finished last in the Big Seven pre-season tournament in Kansas City, reversed things sharply by opening their conference competition with a 76-61 trouncing of Kansas, then picked up two more victories against Missouri and Colorado. Iowa State handed the Sooners their only Big Seven loss with an upset 73-69 decision.
Oklahoma, which will have five more road games on their schedule as against only two contests at home, will invade Manhattan Saturday to meet Kansas State. That means the Sooners have drawn a tremendous assignment this week as Kansas has posted 17 straight victories at Hoeh, the state's longest-running year, and the Wildcats have not been defeated in the K-State fieldhouse since December, 1950. Indiana was the lone victor, winning 58-52.
Kansas, riding second in the wide open Big Seven race with a 4-2 record, has not been pressed this year at Hoch, their closest win being by 12 over Oklahoma A&M, 65-53. The Jayhawkers opened their home season with 83-66 and 72-55 whippings of Southern Methodist, upset A&M, rolled over Kansas State 80-66 in another major upset, and Saturday night shelled Missouri, 86-62.
Oklahoma's 15-point victory over Kansas last month was achieved largely on the Sooners special offense which ruined the KU half-
court press, a weapon that has given most Jayhawker foes a miserable night.
Oklahoma will put a non-senior lineup against the Jayhawkers. The Sooners will have sophomores Lynn Hart and Les Lane at guards, juniors Ron Blue and Dick McEachern at forwards, and junior Bob Waller at center.
Lane, only 5 foot, 11 inches, was a big factor in the Sooner win last month since his ability to move the ball across the center line with a cross dribble played havoc with the KU half court press.
Waller, 6 foot, 5 inches, is the Sooners leading scorer. McEachern is a sharp defensive forward and Blue is a big, hot-shooting southpaw cager.
Kansas displayed a balanced attack Saturday and some sharp passing which caught Missouri flat-footed several times. A KU win would put coach Phog Allen on top by 17-15 in his rivalry with Sooner mentor Drake.
Oklahoma was the last team to stop the Jays at Hoch, scoring an upset 61-59 victory in 1951. KU whipped the Sooners here last year, 71-48.

Although Seton Hall, which has won 22 straight games, received 19 first place votes to only 10 for Indiana, the Hoosiers attracted far greater support for succeeding places and took over the No. 1 ranking by a margin of 15 points.
New York—(U.P.) Indiana's Big Ten conference leaders wrested the top spot in the United Press college basketball ratings today from undefeated Seton Hall.
The 35 leading coaches who make up the United Press board based their ratings on games played through Saturday night, Feb. 7.
Kansas Ranked 11th By UP; Wildcats Drop to Seventh
Apparently the coaches were more impressed by Indiana's two victories last week (over Butler, 105-70, and Northwestern, 88-84) than by Seton Hall's lone victory
K-State, Colorado Win in Big Seven
The K-Staters are now just a half game out of first place and the same margin away from Kansas in second, having played fewer games than the Jayhawkers.
The Kansas State Wildcats stayed in the fight for the Big Seven conference basketball title by outlapping the Iowa State Cyclones 74-64 Monday in Ames, Iowa. The victory boosted the Wildcats into third place after Nebraska's loss to Colorado, 78-86, at Lincoln.
Dick Knostman, the conference's leading scorer for the season, paced the Wildcats with 31 points. The Wildcats sped to a 37-26 halftime margin, but with a minute gone in the fourth quarter, the Cyclones had tied the score at 55-55. K-State then scored 11 straight points and the Cyclones were out of it.
At Lincoln, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, fresh from Saturday's upset of K-State, found two Colorado forwards too much for them as they dropped their third Big Seven game. Both the Buffs and the Huskers now have 3-3 conference records.
With Frank Gompert scoring 21 and Bob Jeangerard 20, Colorado moved away in the second half.
over St. Bonaventure, 74-67.
Coach Branch McCracken's Hoosiers, victorious in 11 of their first 13 games, received a total of 303 points to 288 for Seton Hall. The unbeaten Pirates from South Orange, N. J., had topped Indiana by only a few points for the three previous weeks.
Indiana, chosen eighth in the coaches' pre-season forecast of the national race, thus climaxed a steady climb to the top after losing two of its first three games (to Notre Dame by one point and to Kansas State by two).
This week's top 10 was made up of the same teams as last week with a few changes in positions, due largely to Kansas State's defeat by Nebraska.
Washington (20-1) was third for the fourth straight week and Illinois (11-2) retained fourth place. La Salle (17-2) and Oklahoma A&M (16-3) each climbed one notch in that order, while Kansas State (10-3) dropped from fifth to seventh place.
DePaul (16-4), North Carolina State (19-4), and Louisiana State (15-1) completed the top 10 teams, all holding their rankings of last week.
Kansas, with a 10-4 record. moved up from 13th place to lead the second 10 teams.
