Kansas Tangles With Colorado U. At Boulder
The Jayhawkers will tangle with Colorado U. tonight at Boulder in a non-conference attempt to break a four-game losing streak which was started at the hands of the same team.
The Buffaloes edged Kansas, 52-50 to Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Jan. 2, and since then the Jayhawkers have lost three conference games.
While the Jayhawkers are on their western trip, the conference spotlight moves to Ames, where the Iowa State Cyclones will try to stay in the Big Six race at the expense of twice-beaten Nebraska.
A Cornhusker victory would narrow down the title competition to two teams, Missouri and Oklahoma, with two more, Iowa State and Nebraska battling for third.
Oklahoma's Sooners whipped Kansas State, 50-30, at Manhattan Saturday to avenge an earlier non-conference defeat and to sink the Wildcats within a half game of the league cellar. This game became another to be marled by swinging fists as six players, three from each side, exchanged blows.
Meanwhile, the undefeated Missouri Tigers sailed past Nebraska at Columbia, downing the Cornhuskers, 47-41. The Tigers have now only the Sooners to face in the first half of conference play, and if Missouri can down the Oklahoma team at Norman, it will be an odds-on favorite for the 'championship.
The last Missouri team to finish on top was the 1939 aggregation which finished in a first-place tie with Oklahoma. Missouri will have the advantage of home court when it meets Oklahoma, Kansas, and Kansas State during the second half.
Kansas will return to the Big Six wars Friday to meet Iowa State at Lawrence and will remain at home for a Tuesday game with Kansas State. The Kansas-Kansas State game will decide possession of the league cellar at the end of first half play.

Town Clock May Decide Outcome Of Murder Trial
Shamokin, Pa. (UP)—The outcome of a murder trial here probably depends on when the lights went on again after V-E Day in the clock tower.
A witness said he remembered the time of important incidents in the slaying of Clem Kovaleskie because he "looked at the town clock." The prosecution contended there was no light in the tower.
The company isn't sure just when it did turn the lights on again after brownout restrictions were removed.

KU's Jim Maloney Wears His Atom Pin As Vets Wear Ruptured Ducks
Soft-spoken, affable Dr. James O. Maloney, head of the department of chemical engineering, who worked with some of the country's leading scientists on the atomic bomb, leads a quiet life at K.U.
Dr. Maloney began work on prob of plutonium and heavy water on the loan" from the E. I. DuPont de Ne' mours company of Wilmington, Del., in 1942.
For his work on the bomb, Dr. Maloney was awarded a certificate from the secretary of war and an "A" pin which he modestly refers to as "something like the discharge button."
He received a bachelor of science degree from the University of Illinois in chemical engineering in 1937, a master's degree in the same field from Pennsylvania State college in 1939, and a doctor of philosophy degree from the same college in 1941, at the age of 26.

graduated from Westport High

In 1940, while working on his doctor of philosophy degree, Dr. Maloney married Dorothy Burkholder of Greencastle, Pa. The Maloney's have two children, John C., 3, and Nancy Jean, 1.
