Kansas To Meet Huskers Saturday
An ailing team of KU Jayhawkers will be gunning for their fifth straight win over Nebraska when the Cornhuskers come to Hoch auditorium Saturday night.
After thumping the Huskers three times last year—by scores of 63-47, 60-41 and 61-52—Kansas made it four-in-a-row with a 69-66 decision at Lincoln earlier this year. Nebraska polled its last victory with a narrow 57-56 win in 1950.
But while all roads would apparently point to number five for the Jayhawks, at least two KU players—senior forward Bill Lienhard and reserve freshman Larry Davenport—are busy fighting another battle with the influenza bug. These illnesses plus several colds and a wrenched knee here and there put the Jayhawkers in their worst physical shape of the season.
After Nebraska, the University will still have two games left at home — Oklahoma A&M, Tuesday, Feb. 19, and Missouri, Monday, Feb. 25—before meeting Oklahoma at Norman March 1.
Even though Kansas is naturally thinking somewhat of its return game with the Aggies from Stillwater, Tuesday, and the league battle with Missouri's Tigers the following Monday, it will still be the Cornhuskers handing out the trouble Saturday.
And before underating Nebraska, it's necessary to take a closer look at the Jan. 14 game at Lincoln. The seldom - recognized Cornhuskers pulled one of the scare games of the year that left Phog Allen's charges shaking like jelly out of a jar when it was over.
By controlling the ball for the last 65 seconds of the game, the Jayhawks were able to pull their slim three-point victory out of the fire.
Trailing nearly all the way—sometimes by as much as 13 points—Coach Harry Good's Nebraskans just wouldn't roll over and play dead. Storming back,NU narrowed the gap to 65-60 with little more than five minutes left in the game. From then on it was anybody's ball game.
But though the erratic Huskers hit a torrid 45 per cent of their shots against KU, they went back to the boards later in the week against K-State and accounted for a paltry 15

per cent of 95 shots.
So the whole story Saturday would seem to depend on four things: (1) will KU's aliling players be ready? (2) how far off is the Jayhawk game going into the backstretch? (3) can Nebraska make a similar "break-for-the-wire" finish of Jan. 14? (4) who gets the breaks?

Students Agree In Poll That 'School Spirit' Is Lacking
Bv JOHNNY HERRINGTON
School Spirit at KU—off cussed and discussed by students, newspapers and other mediums—is definitely lacking. That is, if public opinion polls can still be counted upon for accurate information.
From a symposium taken by Kansan reporters, covering 39 students and former students, a much-talked issue—its defiency" reared its ugly head.
Both men and women students from every class in the University are of the nearly unanimous opinion UF fans don't "Rah-rah" enough.
Twenty-seven persons stated—in some form or other—that they didn't approve of the present school spirit, and several gave methods in which it might be improved. Ten of the twenty seven persons believed thought school spirit was adequate. And two just plain weren't interested.
Several ideas as to why this apparent shortage of spirit was present at the University were given. They ranged anywhere from having "more athletic contests on weekends," to "there can be no spirit where there is no incentive."
One college junior put it very bluntly in saying, "KU's school spirit is very poor."
One college sophomore ventured the opinion that "with so many age groups and interests represented at a university such as this, it is difficult to get a school spirit started."
Still another thinks it's "just plain lousy." A remedy? '.. . more all-student dances.'
"Students lack pride in KU and therefore also lack school spirit," a college sophomore said.
A prophetic college junior said it still another way: "School spirit never dies, it just fades away."
A college freshman thinks we need better yells. Still another sophomore urges a a "revival of some of
One of the more satisfied among the questioned said that, "some people like to watch games, not yell all the time. There's nothing the matter with school spirit just because the students don't cheer all the time."
An education major said, "I don't see what all the fuss is about. After all this is a university. We're supposed to be here to study, not rahraing at games."
the school traditions such as the singing of the Alma Mater at the end of the games."
Yell sheets handed out to various organized houses so that house members could learn the University's methods suggested by a fine arts sophomore.
A college freshman said, "I don't think we need more school spirit. After all, we're older now and we don't get as excited over the same things that we did in high school."
A college freshman said she thought more school spirit was needed but "my main gripe is that there is too much attention called to school spirit all the time."
An architecture senior is of the belief that "there is more spirit around than you think."
A college junior brought in the loyalty angle with, "the trouble is, more students have a bigger allegiance to some other organization. A student will be a Sigma Phi Nothing first and a KU student last."
All-in-all, members of the student body have something to say about school spirit at the University and think there is room for great improvement.
