KU Will Meet Cyclones In Final Basketball Tilt
The Kansas' Jayhawkers, deep in the Big Seven basketball cellar, hope to pull the Colorado Buffs back into a last-place tie in the final standings by beating Iowa State in the final conference game in Hoch auditorium tonight.
Returning from a disastrous three-game road trip in which they lost to
the Oklahoma Aggies, Nebraska,
and Colorado to drop to the foot of
the conference standings, the Jaya-
hawkers hope to salvage something
from the season by knocking off
the Cyclones.
If they succeed, it will haul them into a sixth and seventh place tie with Colorado with a record of four wins and eight losses. A victory also would snap Kansas' 10-game

losing streak and duplicate the performance of the K.U. squad of 1929 which tied for last in the first season of a newly organized league. The 1929 Jayhawkers won only three battles in 18 starts.
K. U.'s present season record is eight victories against 15 defeats. Regardless of to outcome, Iowa State is assured of fourth place in the league standings. The Cyclones have won six against five losses, and are a game and a half ahead of fifth-place Nebraska. Their full-season mark is 14 victories against eight setbacks, including two triumphs over Michigan, the Big Nine champions. Chick Sutherland's team lasted Kansas, 52-50, at Ames in mid-season.
The contest will mark the home-court windup of one Mt. Oread's greatest athletes, Otto Schnellbacher, who just last week was named to his fourth all-conference berth at forward. The Sublette Slasher, who also earned all-Big Six and all-American recognition as a football end, gathered basketball honors in 1943, 1946, and 1947, and now equals the record completed by Charlie Black last season.
His final before the home folks will give him a chance to add one more honor to this chain as he needs only 16 more points to match an even 1,000 for his four-year career. Black set an all-time Kansas high of 1,048 by scoring 305 last year.
It will be the final game for Jay-hawkers Gene Barr, reserve guard from El Dorado and Gib Sramel.
Schnellbacher could edge past Oklahoma's Paul County in the 1948 individual scoring title. The Sooner lefty scored 15 against Kansas State Monday night in Norman to give him 156 points for 12 games, an average of 13.0 per game. Schnellbacher's average stands at 12.3.
Swimming Prelims To Be Next Week
