Kansas Sports Editor If "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers play the quality of basketball they are capable of playing against Kansas State at Manhattan Saturday night, we highly recommend you throw away season records, individual scoring, and what have you, and list this intra-state battle as one that may go either way.

A record number of radio stations to carry a Big Seven conference basketball contest will air this all-important game. Some 286 radio stations will carry the game with the tipoff scheduled for 8 p.m. (List of local stations included in game precede on page 8).
One thing for sure, the game definitely rates as one of the Midland's top cage attractions of the year and one that will attract the attention of thousands of basketball fans throughout the state and nation.
Radio station KSEK, Pittsburgh (Kan.), will feed the game to 280 Liberty Network stations on a nationwide sports hookup.

The game's outcome will probably depend largely upon how well K.U.'s starters can stand the terrific 40-minute grind. In our opinion, we think the Jayhawkers are capable of giving any team in the nation all it wants—and then some—if they can only overcome erratic lategame elapses that have plagued and all but ruined K.U.'s title hopes this year.
Kansas' three Big Seven losses have been to Kansas State, Missouri, and Oklahoma, by a total of only seven points.
An even closer examination reaffirms that had all these games been between five to seven minutes shorter, K.U. would today be unfeated with a 9-0 conference record. In K.U.'s loss (43-47) to K-State here, the Allenmen held a 42 to 36 lead with seven minutes left. At Missouri—39 last to Mississippi—39 after leading 35 to 28 with only five minutes left. In Kansas' latest home flop to Oklahoma (59-61), K.U. held a 56 to 50 edge with six minutes remaining after leading by 10 to 12-point margins in the early minutes of the second half.
To prove K.U.'s excellent winning potentialities, we cite the fact that Kansas has trailed at halftime in only four of 20 games and won one of these contests and blew a second half lead in another.
Kansas also blew second half leads in losing the Northwestern and Oklahoma A. and M. games to accompany the above losses or it might well have an 18-2 season record today instead of a 13-7 mark.
If Kansas continues to play topfight ball as shown in the Oklahoma game, and can maintain this quality through 40 minutes instead of 33 to 35 minutes, we predict the Jayhawkers will return to Lawrence Saturday night as a happy and victorious flock.
