No one seems to know just what is wrong with the Kansas basketball team, but Otto Schnellbacher offers one reason why the team is tiring out during the last half of each contest.
"Im not just offering excuses," said Otto, "but remember that we've played 16 games and only two of them at home."
That is a plausible reason for turning out during the last half, especially when the teams don't get much sleep on a rough train ride, but it still doesn't explain the number of shots missed in the first half.
The Kansas squad made 19 per cent of its shots from the field against Colorado and stayed in the game by dunking an abnormally high percentage of charity tosses, 24 out of 29.
The Jayhawkers are expected by most persons, especially around here, to take the Iowa State Cyclones tomorrow night. The 19-point victory over the Cyclones in Kansas City may give the average fan a little overconfidence, but it is worthy of remembrance that the Cyclones have knocked off Kansas State and Nebraska by good scores.

Tony Zale, middleweight boxing champion, predicts that he will win his return match with Rocky Graziano March 21.
Zale, who was honored at the New York Boxing Writer's dinner Wednesday night, was awarded the "fighter of the year" plaque because of his excellent comeback against Graziano in their last meeting.
Gil Dodd, the "murdering parson," will come back to racing Saturday and is reportedly better than ever.
Dodds will go back to the mile run, in which he holds the indoor record at 4:06.4.
He earned his nickname by the killing pace he sets in the mile distance. Dodds has no finishing kick, so to hold off those who do, he just goes out and runs them into the boards to take away their strong finish.
Feb. 1 will see the flying preacher matched with Sweden's Rune Gustafson, who recently turned in a 4:04.6 outdoor mile, and is expected to give Dodds plenty of trouble on the plank track. That is, if he can stand up to Dodd's pace.
Dodds doesn't deny he's eyeing the Olympic games next year.
Colorado In Big Six?
Topekan Predicts It
Topeka. (UP)—Jay Simon, sports editor of the Topeka State Journal, reported today that a Big Six athletic director had predicted flatly Colorado university's membership in the conference by 1948.
Colorado is at present a member of the conference in the Rocky Mountain region.
Mr. Simon said his informant requested that his name not be used, but stated that considerable attention was devoted to the eventuality of a Colorado Big Six membership in the conference meeting in Kansas City last month.
Colorado and the two members of the Big Six from this state—the University of Kansas and Kansas State College — recently have scheduled football games for 1948. The Colorado-Kansas game has been announced for Lawrence and the Colorado-Kansas meeting will be at Boulder, Colo.
Stephenson To Speak
The Geology club will meet at 7:30 tonight in 426 Lindley hall. Dr. E. A. Stephenson is to be the speaker.

Four of the conference's top eleven scorers will meet here tomorrow night in the game between Kansas and Iowa State.
They are Charlie Black and Otto Schnellbacher of Kansas, and Don Paulsen and Jim Myers of Iowa State. Black and Schnellbacher are tied for seventh and eighth places in the totals and Paulsen ranks in ninth two places over Myers. ___
Both Black and Schnellbacher are expected to start for the Jayhawkers, with Gib Stramel, Wendell Clark, and Ray Evans filling out the top five. Iowa State will probably resort to its quintet of Paulsen, Myers, Ray Wehde, Ron Norman, and Bill Block.
Kansas will be without the services of reserve forward Harold England and reserve center Myron "Sonny" Enns. England is out with a head injury suffered in practice, and Enns injured his knee in the Colorado game Monday.
Schnellbacher leads the conference in free throws made, dumping in 17 with 10 of them coming in the Nebraska game.
Hal Howey, sparkplug Kansas State forward, stands second in scoring total with 58 points in four games, but his average of 14.5 tops those who have seen action in three or more this year.
Saturday's game between the league-leading Missouri Tigers and the second-place Oklahoma Sooners at Norman will be the headliner of the week, even though the Tigers can't be knocked out of the lead merely by a loss to Oklahoma.
Claude Rethertford of Nebraska tops the league in total with 59 in five games for an average of 11.80, and teammate Joe Brown follows him in third with 51 and 10.20.
The Sooners will have the big advantage of home court, and are slightly favored because of it. Com- pared with its loss in last week's edge of from two to nine points,
First half play in the conference will end Feb.1, after games between Kansas and Kansas State to determine the cellar position, and between Iowa State and Oklahoma.
Quack club, women's swimming organization, will meet Thursday at 7:45 p.m. in Robinson gymnasium. This will be the final meeting of the semester, Olivia Garvey, president, announced.
Final Quack Meeting
Tax Cut Helps Rich Democrats Charge
Washington. (UP)—House Democrats charged today that the rich man would be the chief beneficiary of an across-the-board income tax reduction.
They cited figures prepared by the internal revenue bureau to bolster their opposition to the tax-cut bill introduced by Chairman Harold Knutson, (R., Minn.) of the house ways and means committee. It calls for a flat 20 per cent tax cut on incomes up to $302,000 a year.
The bureau's figures showed that a man with three dependents who now earns $2,500 a year pays federal income taxes of $50. Under Knutson's proposal, he would pay $40. That would mean an increase of one-fourth of 1 per cent in his income after taxes.
The present tax for a man with three dependents who earns $100,000 a year, according to the internal revenue bureau, is $61,887.75. Under Knutson's proposal he would pay $49,510.20. The increase in his income after taxes would be about 32.5 per cent.
Instead of a flat reduction of tax rates, most democrats favored increasing income tax exemptions on grounds it would offer more real relief to the lower income brackets.
