The Jayhawkers open the Big Six season tonight with almost a certain chance of finishing in the first three and a good chance of regaining the championship.
The Jayhawkers now have the comparatively poor record of eight and four, but may snap out of the doldrums for a winning streak.
Two of the Kansas losses have come at the hands of the Oklahoma defending national champs and recent victories over the powerful Kentucky quintet.
Coach F. C. Allen is still shifting his men around, trying to find a winning combination. So far this year, he has used different starting lineups in all but three games.
***
Otto Schnellbacher became the first Jayhawk to hit 20 points, equalling that mark in two consecutive games against Stanford and Colorado. Charlie Black came within a point of the score when he hit 19 against Southern Methodist, but fouled out before he could get into the third ten.
. . .
Pittsburg Teachers of Kansas downed Arkansas, 53-52, at Pittsburg Friday. Earlier in the season, Kansas had defeated the Porkers by the same score.
. . .
Artie Devlin, national amateur ski jumping champion, annexed his second straight victory in the Torger Tokle memorial jump at Bear Mountain, N.Y.
***
Devlin's winning jump was 146 feet.
Football fatalities jumped to 21 during the 1946 season, Dr. Floyd Eastwood of Purdue told the American Football Coaches association.
Thirteen of the deaths occurred among high school players, five on athletic club teams, two in colleges, and one in sandlot play.
Harold Howey, Kansas State forward, got off to a good start toward the Big Six scoring championship as he dumped in 27 points in the season opener with Nebraska.
Howey is the spearhead of the K-State slam-bang attack and his large number of shots will help raise his average in the conference race.
Other expected high scorers are Otto Schnellbacher and Charlie Black of Kansas, Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma, and possibly Jim Myers of Iowa State.

K. U. comes up to the third meeting with the Oklahoma Aggies on Feb 11 and it will be pretty much a do-or-die proposition.
The Jayhawkers will have to win the next two meetings or give up a chance at the N.C.A.A. F fifth district representation. Also, of course, they must win the conference championship; but even with that done, a three-one Aggie edge would get them the bid for the playoffs.
The fifth district includes the Big Six and Missouri Valley, of which the Aggies are the outstanding basketball member.
Committee Establishes Loans For Students
The student loan committee has reestablished the eligibility requirements for loans to University of Kansas students, Willis Tompkins has announced.
All men and women are eligible providing they can fulfill these stipulations. They must not have below a "C" average, nor are first year students eligible. No one may borrow more than 100 dollars, and there must be a co-signer.
Loans are payable for one year at 5 per cent interest. Tompkins pointed out that the loan fund is not for making gifts and that interest is charged to replenish the fund. It is less inconvenient and expensive than borrowing from a bank, he emphasized.
M.U.-K.U. Also Means Stalcup-Allen
These two coaches will match wits tonight in Hoch auditorium as Kansas opens its Big Six season. They are Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen of Kansas, right, and Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup of Missouri.
Stalcup's squad has hung up a record of nine wins against four losses this year, including a victory over the highly-rated Illinois "Whiz Kids."
N.C.A.A. Recognizes Gambling Problem
Delegates to the 41st annual convention indicated no action on gambling was expected—or necessary.
"It's time we recognized this problem and keep abreast of it," said Kenneth L. "Tug" Wilson, Big Nine commissioner and secretary-treasurer of the N. C. A. A. "There'll be no major speeches, but if anyone has anything to say on the subject we all want to hear it."
New York. (UP)—In a breathing spell before their showdown fight on recruiting, officials of the National Collegiate Athletic association turned the spotlight on gambling today in a round-table discussion designed to bring the problem into the open.
The big fight of the convention—a plan to boycott all colleges failing to accept a standard code of eligibility—comes up in the annual business meeting tomorrow.
"We'll have a fight on that," Mr. Wilson conceded. "The principles are approximately the same as we recommended at Chicago last July but putting the teeth in it is new. We want to stop the coach who goes out on a talent hunt for a couple of months to load up for coming seasons."
36 Families Occupy Six Sunnyside Units
Faculty or staff members who will occupy the units are Joe Small, Hobart Hanson, Edward Hoag, Russell Mills, John Barley, Arthur Bowsher, Wilmer Tanner, Lendell Cockrum, Martin Arvey, Robert Holmer, Edwin Marks, and Robert Anderson.
Six Sunnyside units have beer completed and 36 families have moved into apartments, Irvin Youngberg, director of the housing bureau said today.
The faculty and staff members occupying the apartments are Arvid Jacobson, Harold Dilley, Anthony Smith, George Wilson, Melvin Jackel, Frank Owen, Ammon Andes, Russell Daaseh, Albert Stallman, Harry Daaseh, David Chamberlain, Kenneth Moses, Arthur Millard, Emil Telfel.
The first six families moved into building one on Dec. 16. Buildings, two, three, and four were completed Dec. 21, and 12 families moved into buildings five and nine on Jan. 4. Units seven and eight probably will be ready this week, Mr. Youngberg added.
Robert Williams, Paul Ott Rex Bradley, Jonathan T. Yoe, Thomas Christensen, Prandi Murphy, Finn Hirschard, Gwennward, G. E. Manahan, Robert Allen.
Twelve more apartments will be ready for occupation Wednesday or Thursday.
Music Room Popular For Entertainment
In the Memorial Union's music room there is neither any Louis Armstrong nor Stan Kenton, but there are plenty of symphonies, toccata and fugues, and preludes for the classical listener.
Major problem of the room, in the southeast corner of the Union lounge, is seating. When the audience reaches 14, the normal seating capacity, newcomers have to be satisfied with the floor and window sills.
There usually is a waiting line and a scramble for seats when the room is unlocked at 12 noon and protests when the 6:50 closing time arrives. Daily except Saturday and Sunday there are six hours and fifty minutes of continuous music selected by listeners. There is always a student on hand to flip the records and supply information on the number being plued.
The record library contains the music of George Gershwin, J. S. Bach, and a lot in between. All the selections are filed under the title, author, and medium.
Current favorites are modern composers, such as Stravinsky and his "Firebird Suite" and Ravel's "Bolero." The file reveals only one prelude by Dimitri Shostakovitch
"Highbrows" in the crowd ask to hear a Mozart violin sonata, the choral movement of Beethoven's "Ninth", or some of Chopin's keyboard exercises.
Some students prefer the music room for deep meditation, as witness one man who objected to Bizet's "Carmen" suite.
"Oh please, how can I sleep to that?" he asked.
Aid Athletes Openly Association Head Asks
New York. (UP)—Dr. Wilbur Smith of Wyoming university, president of the N.C.A.A., suggested today that it might be better for colleges to open aid an athlete to stay in school than to allow him to take "handouts" from an alumnus.
In a speech prepared for delivery before the convention, he asked: "why not honor the so-called physical side to some small degree at least. . . do we who believe in and love athletics not have the courage to honor physical attainment?
"We do not hesitate to award scholarships for so-called mental attainment—for high scholastic attainment—and even to members of the debating team, glee club and the band.
"From the standpoint of character, is it better to have some anonymous alumnus give a "handout" to some star athlete who knows such action is wrong? Or is it better to grant this young man aid, the same as is done for many other students?"
Intramural basketball will swing into play once again tonight after the Christmas vacation layoff. Two "B" league games will be played after the Kansas-Missouri clash in Hoch auditorium.
