The Jayhawkers and Nebraska, now tied for second place with three wins and one defeat, trail Kansas closely in contested conference race.
Kansas State now leads the conference with four wins and a single loss by defeating Oklahoma 91 to 68 Saturday night. A Kansas win and a Nebraska victory over the Missouri Tigers at Lincoln tonight would again throw the Big Seven into a three-way tie for first place.
Tonight's game finds a renewal of the old rivalry of teacher and pupil with Coach Allen versus Forrest B. "Frosty" Cox, the Buffalofs' mentor who recently announced his resignation effective July 1.
Coach Cox currently leads the series, which began in 1942, with five wins and two defeats over his former coach at Kansas. His all-time coaching record includes 144 won and 85 lost at Colorado.
Kansas will play the University of Colorado in a Big Seven conference basketball game tonight at Boulder, Colo. A victory for Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers would boost them into a first place tie-in the conference standings.
Colorado has been erratic in conference play to date, winning three of five games. Coach Cox's club has looked most impressive at home and earned a bright out of nine contests, losing only a 75 to 45 decision to Kansas State.
Colorado defeated Kansas in both conference games last year, winning 42 to 30 in Lawrence and downing the Jayhawkers 50 to 43 in Boulder. The Buffaloes now have a three-game winning streak over Coach Allen's club.
Colorado has three of the conference's top 10 scorers in all games played. Kendall Hills, senior forward, is the leading Buff. scorer in 15 games with a 12.3 average per contest. Hills scored 30 and 19 points against Kansas in the responses 1948 and 1949 games on the Colorado. Against Kansas, captain, Claude Houchin, top scorer, draw the important assignment of trying to check this high scoring ace.
Wayne Tucker, 6 foot 3 inch junior guard, has crowded Hills for scoring honors all year and is currently averaging 12 points per game. Stokes, junior forward, has scored 424 points for a 9.5 average.
The other starters for Colorado are Eugene Rogers, 5 foot 10 inch junior guard, and Carr Besemann, 6 foot 5 inch senior pivotman.
Besemann and Bill Clay, junior center, will probably draw the tough task of trying to slow up Kansas' high-scoring center, Clyde Lovellette. Lovellette is far ahead in conference scoring with a 23.3 mean field percentage and averaged 29.3 in his last three contests. These games included 29, 23 and 36 points against Missouri, Iowa State, and Drake respectively.
Coach Allen is expected to start Bill Hougland and Bill Lienhard at forward spots while Houchin and Jerry Waugh will hold down the back line positions. Bob Kenney, sophomore forward, is expected to action alternating with Lienhard, both in hardness. Wells, is expected to add strength in the back line should his hustle and "ball-hawking" be needed.
Others making the trip to Boulder are: Harold England, Lyn Smith, Gene Petersen, Guy Mabry, and Buddy Bull.

'B' Team Rallies To Defeat Emporia

Week Features Six Games In Big Seven
Bv UNITED PRESS
It was generally conceded around the conference today that there was no stopping Kansas State, a team hot enough to average better than 74 points a game in league play.
Kansas and Nebraska appear two times each this week. Kansas State's only appearance will be against Oklahoma (0 to 4) at Columbia Saturday.
Oklahoma (1 to 4), after undergoing the full treatment Feb. 4 at the hands of Kansas State, was no longer considered seriously in the race today. The Sooners will meet Oklahoma State (3) tonight at Norman. State will appear again Friday against Colorado (3 to 2) at Boulder.
The schedule could cause considerable anguish at Manhattan, should Kansas State lose to Missouri and Kansas or Nebraska win two games. But if Kansas State wins the best either the Jayhawks or Cornhuskers could do with two victories would be to gain a first place tie.
