PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1948 Slumping Jayhawkers Open 3-Game Trip At Stillwater Phog Allen's groggy Jayhawkers, staggering after six successive Big Seven defeats that dropped them from first to sixth place in the league standings, tackle the Oklahoma Aggies at Stillwater tonight in the first of a trying three-game weekend schedule. After the Aggie imbroglio, which will mark the second meeting between Phos Al-8 At present Kansas is riding in sixth place, a full game ahead of an equally sophomoric Colorado outfit, which is finding its debut season in the conference a rugged one. Kansas' record reads three league wins, against six setbacks, while the Buffs have won three and dropped eight. Nebraska's a half step ahead of the Jayhawkers with a four and seven conference mark. The Kansans close the season against Iowa State here March 12. After the Aggie imbroglio, which the two clubs this season, Phog Allen's youngsters face Nebraska at Lincoln Saturday night and Colorado at Boulder Monday night. The last two clashes will have direct bearing on whether or not the Hawkers can escape the Big Seven cellar this winter. The A. and M.-Kansas meeting again will unfurl the blazing coaching feud between Allen and Hank Iba, the Iron Duke of Stillwater, Iba went one-up on the doctor here January 21 with his first Lawrence win in history. 47-35. He now holds a 10-9 edge in the series. Iba Ahead of Phog Off the Jayhawks recent performances there is little hope that they can whip the Cowpokes on their home range. The Cowboys have dropped only three games in 26 starts to date and already have sewed up the Missouri Valley title. Most impressive on the Aggie win ledger are two victories over St. Louis, twice conqueror of Notre Dame. The Ags always are primed for the big ones and should be at the top of their game for Kansas, which next to Oklahoma, is their most bitter rival. However, the Ibas can be had. They dropped a 28 to 37 verdict to Oklahoma at Norman last week. Kansas earned a split with the Sooners in their season's series, gaining a one-point victory here and bowing by only four at Norman. The Jayhawkers would like nothing better than to square accounts with A. and M., the team that sent them into their current tailspin January 21. Are Even With Huskers Kansas already has taken the season's series from Colorado, but the Buffs are at their best at Boulder and will be fighting to escape the cellar. This game also will feature a coaching rivalry between Allen and Frosty Cox. This feud now is locked at two victories each, Allen hauling abreast this season with a 49 to 39 win in the league tournament and a 57 to 44 conference triumph here. The Nebraska battle will decide the season's series as each club has bagged one decision this year. KU surprised the Cornhuskers, 64-60, in an overtime in the conference tournament in December and Harry Good's gang came back to win at Lawrence, 61-57.

After the lecture the group discussed the structure of the cells. Arthur Shanahan, assistant professor of bacteriology, explained that the escherichia coli is a kind of bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract, and occasionally causes diseases. After the bacteria need to be used to penicillin, it enlarges and is unable to reproduce, he explained. Oysters, crabs, terrapin, clams and fish are the leading seafood production of Maryland. 928 Mass.

Bad weather is greatly affecting the varsity baseball team's chances for a successful season. Since Monday afternoon, when Coach Sehon called the first practice session, the team has been forced to work out beneath the stadium. It is rumored that Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas State have been practicing for at least a month. Every day is becoming more important with the season's opening game, April 14 at Columbia, getting closer. One-third of the men reporting here are returning lettermen, but their effectiveness will be lost until a break in the weather arrives. The team is now forced to do exercises, some 'catching, and running, but the players lack a chance at valuable batting practice. Bad Weather Hurts KU Baseball Team Call K.
