Gene Petersen, K.U. forward, who was the pre-season Big Seven tournament's leading scoring was held to three free throws by Don Stroop, 6 feet, 9 inch center, and Red Haynes who stands 6 feet, 4 inches in his center position.
The scoring started with Houchin's basket one and one-half minutes after the tip-off. Houchin added two more points before another minute had gone by.

Jerry Waugh, who was in the game all the way as was Houchin, made a free throw and the Jayhawker's big gun Houchin added another field goal to put Kansas ahead 11 to 10. The Jayhawkers never were behind after that.
The closest the Tigers came in the second half was 34 to 31 with about five minutes left to play. With seven minutes of the second period gone Houchin made a brilliant shot from about 15 feet out to put Kansas ahead 26 to 22.
The Tigers tall center Haynes went out of the game on five personal fouls with 12 minutes left to play. He had nine points by then, enough to lead the Tigers in scoring.
Missouri's high scoring forward Dan Pippin made only eight points off the close guarding of Jerry Waugh, as Waugh turned in the evening's defensive gem.
waugh's alert, aggressive play sparked the evening's performance the Jayhawkers. Although he made no field goals and only four points from free throws, he was constantly chasing the ball and rescuing it for the Kansas team.
Besides Hayne's five fouls, four Missouri players had four fouls marked against them by the end of the game. A total of 30 fouls were called on Tiger players in the game. England had four persons for Kansas which was the highest among the 15 called on the Jayhawkers.
A crowd of about 2,500 persons watched the contest which gave Missouri a six won, six lost record for the season. Kansas now has a record of six wins and four losses. The Jayhawkers came out of the game with a conference standing of one win and two defeats. The Missouri loss gives the Tigers a 1-1 mark. Kansas has now won its first three home games of the season.
Waugh was fouled by Karl Pierpoint, Tiger guard, while driving in for a shot with three minutes left on the game. He made good both his tries at the free throw line to put Kansas ahead 38 to 31. Then the Jayhawkers tried to freeze the ball and stall. However, after a time-out Kansas played the ball in for shots.

Redskin Owner Stumbling Block Says Topping
New York, Jan. 12—(UP)-George P. Marshall, owner of the National league Washington Redskins, was branded today as the "stumbling block" preventing settlement of the pro football war but indications were that pressure would force a quick merger with the rival All-America conference.
Dan Topping, owner of the A.A.C.
New York Yankees, put the finger
on the Washington magnate as the
leagues prepared for a Wednesday.
Jan. 19 meeting at which the axe
finally was expected to be buried
with these results:
1. Formation of one 14-team league, separated into two divisions.
2. Cancellation of the New York Yankee, Brooklyn Dodger and Chicago Rocket franchises of the AAC.
3. Movement of the Boston Yanks into New York's Yankee stadium on a lease.
4. Merging of the N.L. Los Angeles Rams and the A.A.C. Los Angeles Dons.
Topping, handsome t-plate heir,
blamed Marshall for holding up
peace negotiations at the recent in-
ter-league meeting in Philadelphia.
After the session it was reported that the N.F.L. which needs a unanimous vote on such matters, had beaten the peace proposal by a 9 to 1 vote. The vote was Marshall's, who fought against retaining the Baltimore franchise because it infringed on what he claims are his territorial rights.
But Topping disclosed that the A.A.C. will insist on Baltimore's rights.
Indicating his willingness to become a landlord for the N.F.L. Boston Yanks, Topping insisted that his players and coaches "will have to be taken care of."
The N.F.L. already has approved the transfer of the Boston team to New York which, if peace is not made, would mean that the Boston team would have to share the Polo grounds with the New York Giants.

KU PE Majors In Officiating Class So They'll Know When To Call Fouls
The Physical Education school at Kansas is the only one in the Big Seven to offer its students a class in officiating, according to Henry Shenk, associate professor of physical education.
"We feel that a good coach must have a thorough working knowledge of the rules of the various sports since coaches are often called upon to officiate," Mr. Shenk said. "The purpose of this course is to prepare physical education majors and all interested students to be capable officials."
The class, required for all physical education majors, meets once a week for rule interpretations and rule study. It is divided into Officiating I and Officiating II. The course covers football, basketball, softball, volleyball, and track. It is open to all students of junior or senior standing.
Students in the class are required to officiate 16 games during the semester but all of the games may not be in the same sport. Students work the intramural games, high school games, and games in the Lawrence city league.
Several students who have completed the course are now officiating high school athletic events, Mr. Shenk said.
High school rules are studied because most of the work done by members of the class are in high schools. There are differences between high school rules and college rules in every sport.
Several universities are starting programs similar to the one at Kansas. Among them are Kansas State and Nebraska.
