Friday's game with Oklahoma A. & M. will be one of the toughest fights' of the season for the Jayhawkers.
The Aggies, defending national champs, have lost their big punch in Bob Kurland, Weldon Kern, and J. L. Parks, but are out to field another top-grade team.
Coach Hank Iba of the Cowboys has Joe Halbert, another young giant, in harness and is training him to replace Kurland.
Halbert is the younger brother of the famous "Chuck" who is now a pro star.
At any rate, Hank Iba is going to turn out another top-flight team. It has already come within one point of the top eastern powers. LIU.
A capacity crowd is expected to fill the Kansas City auditorium, even though many students will be on vacation.

Arkansas, defeated by Kansas
53-52 last Friday, was whipped by a
67-40 count by N.Y.U. at New York
Tuesday.
The Porkers were led by big George Kok who scored 19 points. Sid Tanenbaum and Don Forman of N.Y.U. collected 21 and 20 points, respectively.
--and definite assurance that athletes are bona fide students working earnestly for degrees.
Charles Black, ace Jayhawker forward and tallest man on the Kansas varsity, has quite a job cut out for him this year. Since Black is taller than all others in the starting lineup, he is generally assigned the tallest man to guard.
So far this year, he has drawn Jack Phoenix, *6' 9";* Don Paulsen, *6' 5";* George Kok, *6' 10";* Roy Pugh, *6' 9";* and Ed MacAuley, *6' 8".
The fact that he has done such an excellent job in holding down these opponents should be highly commended. The only one to get into two figures against Black, was Arkansas' human flagpole, George Kok, who bucketed 11.
--and definite assurance that athletes are bona fide students working earnestly for degrees.
Dec. 31 will see the first of two Sugar Bowl games for the holiday season. This one will be a basketball game between Oklahoma A. & M. and Kentucky. The two teams were selected last year because of their top performances.
Of course, the second Sugar Bowl game will be the football clash between Georgia and North Carolina the following day.
The Detroit Lions of the National Pro Football league chose Glenn Davis of Army first in the player draft. They just wanted to be sure that no one else got him if he did decide to become a pro.
Ten Steps Prepare Cars For Winter
Willow Run, Mich. (UP)—The car owner who merely puts anti-freeze in his radiator and lets it go at that is doing only one-tenth of the job of preparing for winter driving, according to Frank A. Detwiler, service manager of Kaiser-Frazer and Graham-Paige motors.
The nine other steps recommended by Detwiler to avoid cold weather driving headaches include:
Flush out cooling system, radiator and heater hoses; check battery, clean and tighten connections, add water; clean and inspect spark plugs, distributor points, carburetor and fuel strainer; check generator charging rate, including generator brushes and controls; drain engine oil and flush engine, refill with proper grade of oil for winter use.
Drain and flush transmission and refill with white lubricant; check operation of windshield wiper and all lights and switches; check tires for cuts and bruises, install those with best tread on rear wheels for traction on ice and snow; adjust and equalize brakes.
Give Athletics To College Prexies, West Point's General Taylor Asks
BY OSCAR FRALEY
(United Press Sports Writer)
New York. (UP)—Maj. Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, the U. S. Military academy superintendent, came up today with a fine three-point program for cleaning up college football—but it won't work.
The general suggested taking athletic control away from the athletic directors and turning it over to the college presidents; periodic open house on the college financial books. $ \textcircled{*} $
It won't work simply because General Taylor is one of the two college presidents in the nation who outrank their athletic directors. Lawrence (Biff) Jones, keeper of the footballs at West Point, is only a colonel.
"I'd like to see Biff tell me what our athletic policy is going to be," the general laughed, the two stars glinting on his shoulder.
Jones smiled self-consciously behind the general, probably thinking, at the same moment, about his days at Nebraska. They don't have generals there.
Taylor, who was involved sometime ago with the powers-that-be in State over who stole his football player, has a fine program there.
The only thing is that it's like the ethics they teach you in business school, codes of conduct which survive about 29 minutes on Wall street.
The coaches undoubtedly would be in favor of having the college president responsible for the school athletic program. For the first time in years they could sleep peacefully at night, directing the alumni wolfpack with graceful gestures in the direction of the president's study. The morality of the football educators would drop tremendously and the rate conversely leap among the ranks of the presidents.
It probably would get so bad that football coaches would have to carry their own presidents with them.
As for periodic checkups on the financial books of the various colleges it would be, to say the least, very interesting.
The current rate of swivel-hipped halfbacks and keg-legged guards, to corn some phrases, would be entertaining and educational. The salaries in some places probably would cause creation of a new college designation in the sport, or career all in itself after which said student retired to a life of ease
Or, after graduating BF, some of these college players could shame the pros into paying decent salaries. A photostatic copy of the page in the college record denoting salaries and pay would hold insure a man a living wage out in the cold. cruel would beyond the irey-covered college walls.
The only way you can solve that and still have a top-flight football team worth a $4.80 ticket is to create that BF degree. For the general admits that studying hard, as the cadets do at West Point, and playing football on top of it is a gruelling chore.
But General Taylor's demand for bona fide students working toward degrees is even more intriguing.
Think of how the post-graduation salary demands would go up if the players were able to read their own press clippings!
*Waterford, N.Y. (UP)—Mrs. May Hairn boasts an ambitious White Leghorn hen which lays an egg within an egg almost every other day on her nearby farm.*
The professional leagues probably would lobby against this with fiercer determination than any plank in the general's platform.
Ambitious Hen Lays 'Daily Double'
One such egg measured two and one-quarter inches in diameter and about three and one-quarter inches long. Inside the large egg was a full yolk and white, plus a complete full-sized egg.
U.C.L.A., Illinois Even Gamblers Think
New York. (UP)—Broadway bookies, still operating at the same old stand today despite a city-wide police drive against gambling, quote the Rose bowl football game between U. C. L. A. and Illinois as a tosup- up, but had definite favorites in each of the other major bowls.
Rating the Georgia brand of football a sure thing, the bookies have made the unbeaten-unied Georgia bulldogs a 14-point favorite over North Carolina's tar-heels in the South. The game at New Orleans, and have picks for each quarter, whip St. Mary's by at least 16 points in the Oil bowl turtle at Houston.
The bet-boys were quoting the Pasadena—New Year's day tussle as "6 to 5 and pick 'em," which means that the better must put up $6 to win $5.
Oklahoma's sooners were rated 13 points better than North Carolina State in Jacksonville's 'Gator bowl game, but the price-layers refused to quote odds on such varied "bowl" attractions as the Flower, Cigar, Vulcan, Raisin, Sun, Alamo, Optimist, Tangerine, Harbor, Lily, Shrine, Cattle and Will Rogers games.
Rice was a 6-point favorite over Tennessee in the Orange bowl at Miami, and Louisiana State was rated 12 points better than Arkansas in the Cotton bowl at Dallas.

'B' Squad Will Meet Midland Here Tonight
Coach Howard Engleman's Jaya-
hawker "B" cage squad will meet
Midland college at 7:30 tonight in
Hoch auditorium.
The Jayhawkers will be trying for their third victory in three starts. Previous Kansas victims have been Kansas State "B" and Emporia State Teachers "B".
Midland brings a tall squad, which is well-balanced in height. Only two inches separate the extremes in height on the starting lineup.
The Midland coach is John Pifsch, KU. graduate and assistant coach part of last season. His team employs the same type of offense that is used by Kansas squads.

Philadelphia. (UP)—The Philadelphia Phillies, who escaped unscathed in a similar claim by first baseman Ulysses Lupien, were forced to pay third baseman Merrill May $4,500 today in settlement under the selective service law which guarantees a veteran his pre-war job.
May rejoined the Phils last September after emerging from service and later was released after being paid $1,050 of his $8,000 contract. The Elizabeth, Ind., infielder sought the help of government attorneys, who successfully pressed Mav's case.

Aggies Boast Three 'Kurlandish' Players
The Kansas Jayhawkers will hit another of the tall teams on this year's schedule when they run into the Oklahoma Aggies at Kansas City tomorrow night.
The Aggies, coached by height minded Henry Iba, boast Joe Halbert, 6-foot-8 center in the starting five. Other big men are Jim Moore, 6-foot-10 center, and Bob Harris, 6-foot-6 guard.
