During the first half, Houghton never missed on three shots at the basket. Jerry Waugh hit three of four, Lovellette four of seven, Kenney five of nine, and Lienhard two of six.

McMillin Acceptance As K-State Coach Likely
Anhattan, Kan., Jan. 9—U.P.)—A. N. (Bo) McMillin will meet with the Athletic Council of Kansas State college today to discuss he athletic directorship at the chool, but he said he probably wouldn't make a decision for everal days."
McMillin arrived here Monday and was to meet tonight with James A. McCain, president of K-State, but McCain was detained in Topeka on business.
All indications pointed to a McMillin acceptance of the post, but he stressed that nothing was "definite". McMillin told newsmen: "I'm
very much interested in the job. If Kansas State is interested in me, I'm certainly interested in the school.
That left little to discuss but the salary as McCain has said that McMillin can have the position if he wants it.
McMillin didn't seem much disturbed about the financial angle. He said he had recent job offers that would bring him "twice as much as Kansas State would be able to pay."
Patronize Kansan Advertisers
"The money is unimportant," McMillin said, adding that he was in a "position now where I don't have to worry about money."
BILL HOUGLAND, 6-foot 4-inch guard, led the Kansas scoring Monday night, connecting on live of six attempts from the field for an incredible 83 per cent accuracy. As the first half ended, Hougland arched a 50-foot shot from back of the center line to boost the Jayhawkers' halftime margin to 36 to 22. Hougland is the fourth highest scorer on the Kansas squad, having accounted for 66 points in 11 games, for a 6.0 average. When the season started, Hougland had orders from Coach Allen to blaze away at the hoop more often and so far it has paid off. He scored 119 points in 23 games last year.
Much Dissension In Professional Basketball Ranks
New York, Jan. 9—(U.P.)-The National Basketball Association, which usually wears only whistles, was rocked by three explosions today when one team quit, another threatened to quit and a third filed a circuit court suit to get back into the professional league.
The Washington Capitals, uncapitalized by two years of financial losses, announced they would disband after tonight's game with Philadelphia. The New York Knickerbockers threatened to leave because of "disgraceful conduct" of the Syracuse Nationals, while the Chicago Stags, who were in the N.B.A. last season, filed a suit asking for the return of their franchise and $150,000 damages.
Washington, which has been losing $3,000 to $4,000 a week this season, quit because owner Mike Uline "didn't feel like taking it any longer," General Manager Bob Foster said.
Ned Irish, vice-president of Madison Square Garden, made far more noise than Uline as he threatened to pull the Knickerbockers out of the league because of the tactics used by a player-coach Al Cervi of the Nationals. Irish said Cervi deliberately sent mediocre players into the game to pick fights with taller stars of the opposing team so both would be thrown out to the advantage of the Nationals.
The Chicago club filed its suit against Podoloff and officials of the league's member teams. It alleged that the defendants conspired to oust the Stags and turn the franchise over to Abe Saperstein, owner of the Harlem Globe Trotters. The Stags were kicked out of the league last summer after failing to repay a loan received from the league.

Bradley, Oklahoma Aggies Kentucky Hold Top 3 Spots
New York, Jan 9—(U.P.)—Unbeaten Long Island university and slick St. Louis U., two of the most powerful teams in the nation, collide at Madison Square Garden tonight in one of the outstanding games of the college basketball season.
The odds-makers cautiously made the L.I.U. Blackbirds, victors in all of their nine games and playing on a familiar court, a $2\frac{1}{2}$ point favorite over the twice-beaten Billikens.
In so acting, the point-men agree with the United Press Board of Coaches, which found little to choose between the pair in ranking L.I.U. fourth nationally and St. Louis sixth.
The reigning "Big Three" of the college courts—Bradley, Oklahoma A. and M., and Kentucky—each scored a win Monday night to emphasize its position of power.
Bradley, ranked first nationally by the United Press Board of Coaches, rolled to an easy, 74-55 victory over Drake in a Missouri Valley Conference test, while the Oklahoma Aggies, ranked second, trounced Wichita, 64-45, in the same circuit.
For Bradley the easy win was a tune-up for one of its biggest tests of the season. On Thursday night, the Sugar Bowl Tourney champions invade New York to meet St. John's, ranked 10th nationally.
In rolling up such a large (for them) score against Wichita, the usually deliberate Aggies produced their top individual scoring performance of the season as forward Norman Pilgrim hit the nets for 23 points.
Kentucky's victory was a much closer and more significant 64-55 decision over DePaul, one of the Midwest's leading independent clubs. The Wildcats raced to a quick 10-1 lead on their home court at Lexington, Ky. For their first victory, 19-19 tie. Then Kentucky got "hot" again for a 35-25 halftime edge and stayed in front the rest of the way.

Columbus, O., Jan. 9—(U.P.)—An Ohio State faculty executive committee was handed the job today of deciding whether to re-admit All-American Vic Janowicz and Richard (Skip) Doyle, two successful half-backs on the gridiron, but failures in the classroom.
To Confer On Janowicz Case
Janowicz, the nation's most-honored football player last fall, and his sidekick from Rochester, Pa., both petitioned for re-admission to the university Monday. The two juniors had been dropped from school after their grades slipped below university requirements during the fall quarter.
Assistant Dean Wells Reeder of the Commerce college said it was "likely" that both would be re-admitted for the spring quarter. If they raise their grades, the two 20-year players would become eligible for football again next fall.
It was revealed last week that Janowicz, winner of the Heisman trophy as the nation's most valuable player, had been dropped because his point average slipped one-tenth of a point below 1.7, the minimum for staying in school. Monday, it was disclosed that Doyle was "considerably" below the minimum requirement and was ineligible.
