Walt Mikols' club will meet Denver in its other non-conference foray in addition to duels with Oklahoma State and Ipanaghe State, in conference affairs.
Only lettermen returning from last year's Jayhawker team are Bob Edman, education junior, who is being moved into the 220 after performing well as a sprinter last year; and diver Ernie Crates, education senior.
The varsity will open competition here today at 5:15 p.m. in a dual meet against the freshmen at Robinson gym.

Kansas Has Had Its Knocks In Reshuffled Conference
If Kansas can continue the .500 pace it established in its first two Big Seven games this winter, the Jayhawkers will overhaul some of the rivals who have grabbed a jump in the composite basketball standings.
The Jayhawkers, victims of two cellar ties in the first two seasons since Colorado joined the old Big Six, opened the current year at the foot of the new league's two-year table at 7 wins and 17 losses. Colorado was only a game ahead at 8 wins and 16 losses, a bulge that since has been halved.
Kansas picked up a half game on the Herd in its first two starts upsetting Oklahoma here, 56 to 50, and losing a one-point, 56 to 57 verdict to Nebraska in Lincoln Tuesday. Iowa State clubbed C.U. in the Buffaloes' opener, 50 to 40. State carried only a two-game composite edge over K.U. when the season opened. Here are the two-year composite Big Seven figures:
Team w l pct. gb t
Kansas State 17 7 7.708 0 1
Oklahoma 16 8 .667 1 1*
Nebraska 14 10 .583 3 1*
Missouri 13 11 .541 4 0
Iowa State 9 15 .375 8 0
Colorado 8 16 .333 9 0
Kansas 7 17 .291 10 0
*Tied for 1949 championship
Although its first two seasons in the enlarged court have paired 40 percentage points off the Jayhawkkers' totals, Phog Allen's troupe still owns a comfortable lead in the league's all-time standings. Combined figures since the old Big Six opened fire in 1929 show the Kansans on top with 152 wins and 68 losses, not counting records of the 1950 race.
This figures out to a Kansas percentage of .690, 50 points ahead of second-place Oklahoma. K a n s a dominated the Big Six with a lead of 20 full games in the 19 years of the old circuit's existence. The Jayhawkers mounted a record of 145 wins against 51 losses which produced 12 championships or co-titles. Oklahoma was the only other school over .500 with 125 and 71 for .6388.
Here are the combined totals of he two loops:
Team | w | l pct. |
Kansas | 152 | 68.690 | 12 |
Oklahoma | 141 | 79.640 | 7 |
Missouri | 109 | 111.495 | 3 |
Iowa State | 91 | 123.425 | 4 |
Nebraska | 91 | 123.425 | 2 |
Kansas State | 80 | 140.363 | 1 |
Colorado | 8 | 16.333 | 0 |

Buralar Just Hungry
Knoxville, Tenn.—(U.P.)—A burglar apparently wasn't interested in money when entered a home here. He spurned three purses containing money, two watches and other vauables. He took ham and potato salad from the ice box. "He just must have been hungry," a detective said.
With the exception of the 1947 season when he was kayoeyed by a head injury and forced to take a rest in California, this is Allen's coaching accomplishment. His teams also won six straight titles in the Missouri Valley conference, forerunner of the Big Six, being named national champions by the Helms Foundation in 1923 and 1924.
Kansas hopes to make more ground Saturday night when they tackle Missouri's tough Tigers in Columbia. Sparky Stalcup's club rewrite the 1950 conference dope sheet two weeks ago in Kansas City by winning the league tournament and have lost only two games in 11 starts to date.
The Tigers lost a 35 to 14 defensive battle to Oklahoma in Norman last Monday and will be eager for Kansas. The Jayhawkers belted M.U. three times last season and now own an unprecedented victory string of five in a row over the Missouri Tigers.

He Got An Early Start
Lone Male Watches Quack Club Practice
Alanta—(U.P.)—Billie Flanagan apparently started young as a farm-hand. He advertised in the Georgia farm market bulletin's help wanted coulmn: "Want job on farm, 20 years experience. Can milk cows, feed hogs and chickens and do general farm work. Single, 21 years old."
A game of "follow the leader" enlivened the regular program of practice on water ballet routines at Quack club Thursday. The five members who attended had a lone male as audience part of the evening.
Routines worked out by the pledges have been added to those Miss Ruth Hoover, associate professor of physical education, has been teaching the women. Actives are also making up new routines.
YOUR EYES
Kathleen McKelvy, president of the club, thought small attendance was due to the fact "many members were studying for quizzes and finals. However," she added, "three straight unexcused absences automatically expels the woman."
