Missouri's enigmatic Tigers, transformed from contender to despoiler by five early conference losses, will train their new found power on K.U.'s first division hopes at 7:30 p.m. here tonight in a return Big Seven basketball battle between the two foes.
A seasonal high of four radio stations, WREN, Topeka (Max Falkenstien); WHB, Kansas City, Mo. (Larry Ray); WIBW, Topeka (Hilton Hodges), and KFRU, Columbia, Mo. (Maylin Aldridge) will broadcast the game. Another capacity house is expected to jam Hoch auditorium to watch the two teams in their 126th cage meeting.
Despite its 50 to 55 loss to Kansas State Tuesday in a bitter battle at Manhattan, the Jayhawkers still can finish high. Kansas currently is only a game out of first with a 4-3 record against marks of 5-2 for the triplicate leaders, Kansas State, Nebraska, and Colorado.
Both clubs are on the up-grade. Sparky Stalcup's close - guarding Bengals hope to stretch their current winning streak to three games. After dropping their first five league starts, the Big Seven pre-season tournament titlists started on the comeback the past Saturday with a 59 to 43 victory over Kansas State at Columbia. They continued Monday leading Ohio State. Big Ten leaders by 10 points with 12 minutes to go in the second half before going down, 46 to 47.
This is a club that was good enough to drag favored Kansas State back into second place. It can knock the Jayhawkers out of the race Friday with a victory in Hoch, as well as pulling out of occupancy of the league cellar. A victory would move M.U. up to two victories and five losses.
M. U. will face a better Kansas club than the one which handed the Tigers a 48 to 44 whipping in Columbia Jan. 14. The Jayhawkers flashed raw, tireless hustle reminiscent of their title days in their last two starts against Nebraska and Kansas State and are much improved in the rebound and defense departments. Allen will start four sophomores for the second straight game with guard Dean Wells moving in to take over the center. Waugh, Bill Lienhard and Bill Hougland will be paired at forward with Clyde Lovellette, the league's leading scoreer, at center.
Missouri is expected to start the same team that carried the load in its three-game swath through the Big Seven tournament. This includes two tall cagars in Don Stroot, 6 foot 8 inch forward and Jerry Fowler, 6 foot 6 inch center. Bud Heineman, small lefthanded forward; George Lafferty, senior guard, and Bill Stauffer, strapping sophomore, complete the ensemble.
Kansas will put a string of four straight victories over the Tigers, three of them conference games, on the line.
Three Selected By Quack Club

Thursday night.
Each one of the 17 applicants was required to complete a number of different swimming strokes and dives and an endurance test, either by treading or floating.

Firemen Want To Pole Slide
Lawrenceville, Va.—(U.P.)Feeling generous during fire prevention week, the town council appropriated $4,000 for a second floor on the present volunteer fire department building. Chief George Pearson had complained that the members had no place to practice ladder climbing and pole sliding.
Bud Heineman, 5 foot 10 inch junior forward, will be on hand tonight to strengthen the Tiger's attack. The little Missourian is expected to give Jerry Waugh and Dean Wells a tough time guarding his unique right-handed push shot.
At 6 feet 8 inches, the tallest forward in the conference, lanky Don Stroot will give Missouri added rebound power which may be a decisive factor when the Tigers invade Hoch auditorium at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Stroot is often used to relieve Jerry Fowler at the center slot.
Prisoner Is Too Big
Railford. Fla.—(U.P.)—When George L. (Tiny) Brooks is released from the Florida state prison where he has served a four-year burglary sentence, he'll get an extra $15 instead of the traditional new suit of clothes. Prison officials decided to give Mr. Brooks the additional cash after looking around unsuccessfully for clothing to fit the 6 foot, 4 inch man who tips the scales at 304 pounds.
