In conference play Missouri has scored 73 while the Tiger opponents have been held to a scant 14 points. The Jayhawks have doubled the score of their conference foes. Kansas has 40 points while the enemy has 20.
* *
Iowa State has given up 67 points to take the lead in that division. Kansas State is close behind. The Wildcats have had 61 points scored against them by Big Six teams.
The standings of Big Six teams in all games played show Kansas leading the mob with three victories, no losses, and two ties. The Missouri Tigers have four victories against two losses. The Tigers lead in points scored with 139. Kansas has the best average, having scored 135 points while limiting the opposition to a meager 26.

Looks like Oklahoma will break relations with Texas before long. Some of the leading Sooner alumni want to move the game away from the fair grounds at Dallas and others want to eliminate the game altogether. The Texas-Oklahoma contract to play at the Texas state fair grounds runs through 1950.
Oklahoma has added Santa Clara to its schedule for the next two years. Santa Clara will replace Detroit. The Broncos and Sooners met in 1940 and 1941 and each school has a victory.

Wichita university has run up an impressive record this season. The Shockers have five victories against one loss and have averaged 25 points a game. They meet Tulsa in the feature Missouri Valley conference game at Tulsa Saturday.

The Wichita-Tulsa tilts have been rough-house affairs in the past. The Kansas team will probably have to play without Linwood Sexton, their all-conference Negro back, but they have several other fine runners and Wichita is really out to take Tulsa. Sexton couldn't play at Tulsa in 1945 because he was a Negro.
If you are a swimmer and would like to help get the first Jayhawk swimming team started, all you have to do is report to 203 Robinson gymnasium today at 5 p. m. The addition of swimming to the Kansas athletic schedule is most commendable. Now all we need to compete sport-for-sport with the rest of the conference is a wrestling team.
Brewster Cites Christian Challenge For Achievement
"By His own example of industry Christ challenges every student to strive for the highest possible scholastic attainment," Ray Q. Brewster, head of the chemistry department, told the Wesley Foundation Sunday night.
He expressed the belief that "science points to the existence of a supreme being but that each person is challenged to decide for himself his belief or disbelief."
Asks Students To Help Solve Seat Problem
The problem of seating spectators at home basketball games in Hoch auditorium is still far from being solved. The athletic office has called for student suggestions for a satisfactory arrangement, Earl L. Falkenstien, athletic business manager, said today.
"Of course, it is our problem, but we want to please the majority and are therefore inviting suggestions which may be helpful and which will please most of the students," he said. Last Year's Plan Unpopular
Last year's plan of selling fourgame blocs to holders of activity books on an unreserved basis was unpopular for two primary reasons, he said. First, many students lost an hour or two of study time because it was necessary to go to the game early to get good seats. Second, because the blocs were issued according to the odd or even numbers on activity books, many were unable to go with close friends.
Two plans for reserving seats have already been suggested. One idea is to offer a reservation which will remain the same for all four games in the bloc, assuring each student the same seat for each game. Early Birds Get Good Seats
"This plan is not satisfactory because students who are able to secure reservations early will have the choice seats, and those who cannot reserve seats early because of class-schedules or jobs will be "stuck" with the poor seats," Falkenstien said.
A second plan is to issue different reserved seats for each game. Thus each student would have to compete for the choice reservations four times instead of just once.
Plan Impossible
"It is almost a physical impossibility for us to carry out this plan. We would have to handle reservations for eight home games, which,
At 8:42 a.m. this morning the University Daily Kansan wire editor was watching the teletype. Suddenly he called the managing and city editors to the machine. There the teletype was coming out with "The Kansas State boys are tough," Sauer explained, "-$ we are expecting a hard-fought battle here Saturday."
in two instances, come within a few days of each other. I doubt if we could handle the rush without a great deal of confusion," Falkenstien commented.
Last season there were only about 2,500 per bloc. The remaining seats were offered to students' wives, parents, and the general public.
"This charge was necessary even before the large increase in enrollment. It eliminates those who are less enthusiastic about the game. Without it we would be forced to divide the schedule into three blocs," he said.
The athletic office will have to decide on this year's seating plan within the next few weeks, since student tickets will be on sale Dec. 1 to 6, Falkenstien explained. He urged that all suggestions be submitted to the University Daily Kansan or to the All-Student Council.
Hoch auditorium seats 3,500, less than half of the student body of the University. If all students and students' wives, along with faculty members, attended the games there would have to be three blocs of games instead of two. Basketball attendance has been reduced to about 6,000 by charging $1.75 for season tickets, Falkenstien explained. Price Increase Necessary

New York—(UP)—There was the possibility that Leo Durocher would confer with Branch Rickey today concerning the Brooklyn management, but Leo himself insisted that he had no definite appointment.
Durocher May Confer With Rickey
Durocher is in town from California to make purchases for his Hollywood sporting goods store, he said.
"But I expect to see Mr. Rickey," the once-suspended manager added. "I have no appointment with him, but I'll telephone and see if we can get together.
"I called yesterday and they told me that Mr. Rickey was on his Maryland farm, but that he was expected back in Brooklyn today."
There has been no announcement concerning the Dodger managership since Rickey's sage pronouncement that "Brooklyn definitely will have a manager in 1948."
