Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers will collide with Colorado in a showdown Big Seven conference basketball game at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium with the loser being all but mathematically eliminated from further title contention.
Kansas and Colorado are tied for third place in the conference standings with five wins and three defeats. Nebraska leads with a record of seven wins and two setbacks, closely followed by Kansas State with a six won and two lost record.
Assistant Coach Dick Harp's "B" team will play a return game with Emporia State "B" team starting at 5:30 p.m. Kansas won an earlier game at Emporia 56 to 40 and will be out to sweep the two-game series, Coach Harp is expected to draw his manpower from the following players: Bill Schaake, Jerry Bogue, Harold Lowe, Guy Mabry, Buddy Bull, Dale Engel, Lyn Smith, and Aubrey Linville.
The game will mark Coach Forrest B. "Frosty" Cox's last coaching appearance in Lawrence as the Buffalooes' mentor. Cox has resigned his post at Boulder effective July 1.
The final meeting in the old rivalry of teacher and pupil with Coach Allen versus Coach Cox should provide added interest in the contest. The Buffaloales' mentor currently leads the
series, which began in 1942, with six wins and two defeats over his former coach at Kansas.
Since taking over the coaching duties in 1935 at Boulder, Cox has built up an impressive coaching record of 146 games won and 86 lost.
Colorado hopes to continue the mastery it has held over the Jawhawkers since entering the Big Seven two years ago. The Buffs' current four-game win streak against K.U. includes a 42 to 30 conquest here last year.
The Jayhawkers will match Colorado's string of four straight over Kansas in conference play with a six-game winning streak in Hoch auditorium this season in the same number of engagements. Kansas' home record shows an average of 61.2 points per contest against a 47.0 average for the visiting teams. All wins have been by a margin of six or more points.
Coach Allen's young club has come along fast during the past ten games, dropping only three contests by a total margin of eight points. Kansas now owns a season record of 11 wins against nine defeats. Colorado carried a season record of 13 won and five lost.
Kansas will be seeking revenge for the 50 to 48 overtime setback suffered at Boulder on Feb. 6. KU, led throughout the contest only to falter in the final minutes to suffer their second league defeat. In that game the Jayhawker's scoring wizard, Clyde Lovellette, scored 30 points while Bill Lienhard came through with 14 points, as Kansas showed its poorest balanced offensive attack of the season.
Colorado owns three of the Big Seven's top scorers in forwards Kendall Hills and Wayne Tucker, who have scored 91 and 73 points respectively. One of the starting guards, Roger Stokes, has collected 82 points in league competition.
Coach Cox will present as good a starting lineup as any in the conference, long on floor speed, cleverness, and good offensive balance.
The two tallest starters for the Buffalooes, center Carr Besemann, 6 foot 5 inch senior; and Bill Clay, 6 foot 4 inch guard; will probably each try to stop the high scoring tactics of Lovellette.
Four reliables are expected to add reserve power to the Jayhawker attack. Leinhard will bolster the frontline while Dean Wells and Harold England will offer aid at the backline positions. Gene Petersen, 6 foot 7 inch senior center, will offer aid at the pivot position.

I HAVE WRITTEN MANY ADS FOR GREAT MOTION PICTURES
Now, comes "THE HASTY HEART" and I want to talk to you personally about it:
"THE HASTY HEART" is the kind of picture that comes along with all those little things that become movie magic.
Those are the things that are hard to label.
Laughter here. . a tear there. . a touch of something richly human All its own. Little things. . and every now and then they blend into a picture as big as the world.
Here is a story of six fellows and a girl who will suddenly come to live in your heart.
We at the Jayhawker theater give you "THE HASTY HEART" with the joy one takes in a special achievement . and the same pride we have felt in presenting other great motion pictures.
