FEBRUARY 21.1947
The Jayhawker battle with Iowa State Friday may be a major factor in deciding who will finish in the first division.
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Mathematically, the Jayhawkers still have a chance to tie for the title, but the chance is the same as that of the Philadelphia Athletics who are 25 games out of first in September.
Kansas is out and will have to battle to get back on an even footing in the standings with the three toughest teams on the schedule left ahead.

The Kansas track squad will be a decided underdog tomorrow when they take the indoor boards against Missouri.
The Tigers defeated Nebraska easily, and the Cornhuskers then trampled Kansas. Missouri, however, is already concealing the half-mile to Kansas' Earl Jones.

The Oklahoma Aggies announced a schedule of 16 games for the 1947 basketball season, with attempts now being made to get games with Nebraska and Missouri of the Big Six.
The Aggies already have games scheduled with Oklahoma and Kansas State of the conference, leaving Kansas unscheduled among the southern members of that conference.
Arkansas is the only southwestern team so far, and the Arkansas Teachers of Conway is another outside team. Only one Missouri Valley team is on the schedule.
Southwestern Tech of Weatherford is the only member of the Oklahoma Collegiate conference yet scheduled.

The National Semi-pro Champion Enidairds have a new manager and will have a new name by Feb. 28. The Enid squad has been national champion several times under the sponsorship of various Enid oil companies and later of the Army air field.
Doc Graves, former manager of the Stillwater Boomers has been chosen to head the new club which will be backed by an association of Enid merchants.
He's Happy
This is Jack Gardner, basketball coach at Kansas State college, who guided his Wildcats to a 48-45 victory Thursday over the Kansas Jayhawkers. Gardner, who returned to Kansas State last fall after serving as lieutenant commander in the Navy, played his collegiate basketball at the University of Southern California and captained the Trojan cage squad in his senior year.
K.U. Track Team To M.U. Saturday
The University track team will go to Columbia Saturday to meet Missouri's team in a renewal of the Midwest's oldest indoor dual track and field competition.
The strong Missouri team will be favored because of the Kansas' lack of experience and the lopsided victories Missouri has enjoyed over Nebraska and Kansas State previously this season.
Kansas is not to be completely written off though because they are strong in many of the events in which Missouri is weak. Two of these are the 1 and 2-mile runs. Here Coach Raymond Kanehl expects Bob Karnes, who set a new meet record for the 2-mile at Nebraska last week, and Harold Moore to show up well. Moore, who has had a slight chest cold, may not run in both events; but Karnes probably will run in both.
Dr. J. O. Thomson, director of the health service at Oklahoma A. & M., spent Tuesday afternoon in Watkins Memorial hospital conferring with officials of the health service.

Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, made plans for Religious Emphasis week and scout visitation day at a meeting Thursday night. Over 300 senior scouts are expected at the University for scout visitation day.
