Exams Limit Big Seven Cage Activity
quarterest and quarterly exams limit the Big Seven basketball slate to seven games during the next three weeks. Eight noncoference games are also on tap.
The Kansas Jayhawkers (3-1) lay off until Jan. 27 when they take on the Oklahoma Sooners (2-2) in Norman. It will be the first conference road game for the Jayhawkers, and they must win if they are to keep within striking distance of the high-riding Kansas State Wildcats (3-0).
KU. has non-conference dates with Northwestern in the Chicago Stadium, Feb. 3 and with the Oklahoma Aggies in Lawrence, Feb. 5.
Lead-leading Kansas State, the only undefeated team in the conference, plays a busy Big Seven schedule during the next three weeks. The Manhattan men meet Colorado (1-2) in home and home games, Jan. 27 and Feb. 3, and Nebraska (1-2), Feb. 5.
Iowa State (1-3) is involved in the
other three conference games scheduled during the three-week period. The Cyclones play Colorado on Jan. 20, Missouri (1-2) on Jan.22, and Nebraska on Feb. 2.
Missouri opens the non-conference activity tonight against Wichita of the Missouri Valley. The Tigers downed Wichita, 61 to 42, Tuesday in the first of a two-game series.
Big Seven teams will meet some of the nation's strongest clubs in their late January and early February warring. Both Oklahoma and KU. will play the Oklahoma Aggies, currently the No. 1 team in the nation. Kansas State will play host to No. 4-ranking Long Island.
KU, and Missouri tangle with strong Big 10 teams-Northwesten and Iowa respectively. Oklahoma meets Texas, and Iowa State plays Creighton to round out the schedule.
Four Undefeated Teams Will Risk Records Tonight

New York, Jan. 17—(U.P.)—College basketball fans are in for a rare treat tonight when four of the five remaining major unbeaten teams in the nation take the court to risk their perfect records.
The Oklahoma Aggies, Columbia,
and St. Bonaventure each will be
facing one of their toughest games
of the season, while Army draws an
easy assignment in a routine game
against Williams.
The Aggies, unbeaten in 15 games this season and ranked as the nation's No.1 team, clash with slick St. Louis university at Stillwater, Okla., with first place in the Missouri Valley conference going to the winner.
winner.
Columbia, unscathed in 10 games,
plays host to rugged Pennsylvania in
New York City and the prize there is
first place in the Ivy league. St.
Bonaventure, riding a string of nine
courses, visits Niagara university. He has lost six games but in the last bowed to mighty Bradley by just four points.
Long Island university, fifth member of the peerless quintet, is idle tonight only because it racked up its 12th win of the season Tuesday by a lopsided 84 to 52 count over Duquesne.
The Aggies-St. Louis game will draw the most attention, of course, for the stakes are higher than in almost any other game yet played this year. Neither team has yet lost to a conference foe, and they were left alone at the top when Bradley was upset by Detroit Monday night, 70-65.
Then, too, the Aggies' top national ranking is in jeopardy.
And the game will be carefully watched by coaches and experts because it may cause sweeping changes in the rules of the game itself. Many observers, including coach Pete Gray, of Texas, are claiming that the Aggies' patented "possession" style of play is too dull and is ruining the appeal of the game. How the Aggies' famed defense works against the Billikens' famed fast break—and the reaction of the nation's fans—may be used as a guide by the rule-makers in their next spring conclave.

Charlie Black Quits Anderson Packers
Anderson, Ind., Jan. 17—(U.P.) The Anderson Packers, their ranks depleted by the resignations of five players and their player-coach, sought today to rebuild their roster before a scheduled game with Waterloo Friday night.
The National Professional Basketball league club was left with only four players today after player-coach Leo Kler and players Richie Niemiera and Charley Black (former KU, great) quit the team.
The resignations came close on the heels of similar action last week by Frank Gates, Bob Kinney and Jim Owens.
A club spokesman said there were "no hard feelings." They were among the most popular players ever to play here, but attendance made it impossible for them to continue for what we could pay them."
