Jayhawks Play Frogs In Regional Tonight
A determined bunch of Kansas Jayhawkers moved to Kansas City last night to make final preparations for tonight's NCAA Western Regional clash with Texas Christian university's lightning fast Horned Frogs. Tip-off time is 9:45 p.m.
It will be the third NCAA bid for the Jayhawks under Coach F. C. "Fhoo" Allen, whose 1940 copy went all the way to the finals. In 1942 the Jayhawkers were bumped by Colorado, 45-44, in the first round.

It's the first appearance for the Honned Frogs in the tourney. They went from 1934 to 1951 without a basketball championship. Last year they tied with the Texas Aggies for the Southwestern conference title. This year Texas Christian left no
To combat the "Brannon plan" of "grab it and run"—a game the Jay-hawkers know pretty well too—Coach Allen has practiced a stiff shifting man-for-man defense that has proved so useful to the Jay-hawkers in recent games and was cited as one of the main reasons for Kansas's spectacular nine-game winning streak that carried them to the Big Seven title.
It will also be a major problem for the Jayhawkers to maintain their 70.5 scoring average against TCU. The team has the best defensive team in the country.
