The Kansas tennis squad is beginning to buckle down in earnest preparation for the coming season, toughest in K.U. history.
By special arrangement with the department of physical education and the athletic office, members of the tennis squad will have priority on the stadium courts at all times.
The squad will practice on week- days from 3:15 p.m. until dark, Coach Gordon Sabine said, and will probably get in some practice every weekend.

The Cyclones, after dumping Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas State, have only Kansas remaining as an undefended foe.
The Jayhawkers have trounced the Cyclones at Kansas City and Lawrence, but have yet to face them at home, where they are constantly dangerous.
We may have been wrong at the first of the season when we picked the Iowa State Cyclones to finish in the first division, but it will take a good-sized blast to shake the Cyclones loose from their third-place hold now.
Time will tell, but we'll stick to the Cyclones for one of the first-division clubs.

Don't count the Jayhawkers out of the conference race yet.
True, the Kansas squad must win all its remaining games in the conference and that will be a rough road, but the squad is capable of doing that very thing.
Oklahoma must drop two of its remaining four games, but that, too, is far from impossible. One loss would be accounted for if Kansas goes through, and another is highly possible if not probable when the Sooners travel to Ames and Columbia.
The present method of settling the championship, if two teams are tied in games won and lost, is the offensive-defensive average, that being the average number of points margin per game enjoyed by the respective teams.
The present standings put Oklahoma on top with five and one and a marginal average of 11.83 and Missouri with five and two out of a tie picture because of a weak marginal average of 1.86. Kansas, with three and three, has an average of 9.67 difference.
The Nebraska game Saturday, presenting a 32-point difference in scores, boosted Kansas within reach as far as point difference goes; but won-lost games come first.
- - and Skirts
The official scorer for Kansas home games has helped the K.U. average in his small ability by giving the Jayhawkers an extra point margin in each of the last two games.
In the Kansas State game, Jack Dean of the Wildcats stepped up to the charity line in the second half and dumped in two free throws, faithfully recorded by all the press representatives, some 25 strong, at the game.
But the official scorer saw fit to record only one, and when the mistake was discovered, he firmly refused to alter his book to agree with the facts, regardless of arguments by all concerned.
Thus, a 50-40 score was made "official" at 50-39.
Saturday night, the situation was not exactly the same, but the result was similar. Late in the second half, Don Auten, Kansas guard, stepped up to the free throw line and put one through for a point.
Referee Ray Ferguson immediately went through the usual gyrations signifying that the point should not count because Kansas' Schnellbacher was in the lane.
How much good did that do? None. The score went up on the board, and Kansas was just that one point closer to 70. Two press scorers who complained had as much effect as water on a rock. The score stood, official and again incorrect.
Win Boosts K.U.'s Hope For Championship Share
Kansas climbed back into a third place tie with the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday night, and boosted Oread hopes for a share in the championship by smothering Nebraska, 69-37, at Lawrence.
The sound trouncing administered to the Huskers not only went a long way toward avenging an earlier defeat at Lincoln, but also boosted the offensive, defensive average which is all-important in case of a Big Six tie.
Coach Howard Engleman used 16 men in the game with 13 of them hitting the bucket for tallies. The Big Six record of 30 baskets in a game was approached by Otto Schnellbacher's two late goals bringing the total to 28.
The early scoring was even for a few minutes, but before the 10-minute mark the Jayhawkers began to click and hit goals from all angles to pull away from 12-9 to 27-10, and then to a 32-12 lead at the half.
The second stanza saw the reserves in action for the first few minutes, but as soon as Black returned to the game he dumped in a bucket and a free to start his second half scoring.
Charlie Black, ace Kansas forward, paced the Jayhawkers in the first half, gathering in rebounds of both boards, and sinking three impossible shots as well as blocking one Nebraska basket.
Black's most noteworthy shot was a scoop shot between the legs of a Nebraska player trying to guard him.
That was all, however, because "the Hawk" became mixed up in a scramble for the ball and was removed from the game by Referee Fay Ferguson for "unsportsmanlike conduct."
Black's loss to the team didn't stop the scoring nightmare which Nebraska was suffering, because the Jayhawkers went right on to pour in the points.
Leading scorers for the game were Ray Evans, veteran guard, who dumped in nine points of his 11 in the first nine minutes of the second half; and freshman Hal England who hit four buckets from the center position and bucks three free tosses.
Right behind the leading duo was Claude Hochin, another Kansan, who hit for 10 points, and Black, who dumped in nine. Nebraska's top guard, Joe Brown, packed the Huskers with eight.

Here is Ray Evans, Jayhawker guard, who shared scoring honors Saturday night against Nebraska with K. U.'s Harold England. Evans and England each scored 11 points.
Three Records Set As Nebraska Takes Meet
A strong Nebraska track team outscored the K.U track team 71 2-3 to 32 1-3 in a dual meet at Lincoln Saturday night.
Bob Karnes, Kansas freshman
2-miler, established a new meet
record for that distance of 10:06.3.
Monte Kinder, Nebraska high jump
man, cleared the bar at 6 feet 4%
inches to set a new record in that
event and the Cornhusker's mile
team turned in the third record by
covering the distance in 3:30.6.
The high hurdles mark of -07.7 was tied by Ralph King of Nebraska, and Bob Ginn tied the 880-yard run mark of 1:59.8 for Nebraska. Ginn also won the mile run in 4:23.
Kansas City. (UP)—The St. Louis university Billikens swing into the northern part of the Missouri valley circuit this coming weekend for their final two games, the last hurdles between them and an undefended conference season and perhaps a chance at an N C A A valley region spot in the western playoffs late next month.
Three meet records were broken and two more were tied as the Kansas team pressed the Nebraskans much harder than the score indicates.
Evans also received an All-Big Six football ring during the half-time of the game, along with Otto Schnellbacher and Dave Schmidt.
Unbeaten St. Louis Into Final Games
Still ahead of the Billikens were games with Drake and Creighton. The Drake game was the big one for Ed McCauley and company. A victory there would cinch the title, no matter what the Creighton Blue-jays might do in the way of an uprising the following night at Omaha.
The Billikens last week knocked off the Oklahoma Aggies for the second time of the season and then easily turned back Tulsa. To date, in 10 successful valley starts, the Billikens have a 48-point scoring average, against 35 for the opposition.
