K.U. Leads Conference Teams In Big Six Tourney In Kansas City
The Jayhawkers met only one other conference team, Iowa State, in the Big Six tournament at Kansas City the past week, but led the conference in final tourney standing.
Kansas finished second behind Southern Methodist of the Southwest conference, losing to the Mustangs, 49 to 46, in the finals Saturday night.
The Jayhawkers previously had defeated Iowa State on Thursday, 53 to 36, and Arkansas on Friday, 53 to 52.
Led by Tom Tomlinson, 6-foot 5-inch forward, the Mustangs downed the tiring Jayhawkers in the finals. Tomlinson sank seven goals in 12 attempts from the field, and dumped in five of seven free tosses for 17 points.
The Mustangs, with a 6-foot 32- inch team height average, controlled a majority of rebounds off both backboards, and sank one of every three shots to provide the margin of victory.
Charles Black, still troubled by a back injury, managed to shake loose from his 6-foot 9-inch opponent, Roy Pogh, to slam in 19 points and feed many more goals. Black took game scoring honors.
Kansas equaled S.M.U. with 16 field goals, but out-fouled the Mustangs 23 to 18 while trying to get the ball. Kansas sank 14 frees out of 20 tries, and the Ponies made 17 missing 11.
Kansas went ahead in the early part of the second half, 34 to 32, but the Mustangs overhauled the Jayhawkers and went into the lead.
in the closing minutes of the game, with S.M.U. leading, 47 to 41, the joyhawkers tried to repeat their previous night's last-minute rally; but with their two ace guards, Wendell Clark and Ray Evans, out of the game on fouls, they just weren't up to the task.
Coach F. C. Allen substituted frequently but 140 minutes of first five playing time in four days proved to be too much.
Friday's thrilling semi-final victory over Arkansas showed the true mettle of the Jayhawkers. With Charley Black, ace forward, out of the game on fouls, Kansas outscored the Porkers 8 to 1 for a last-minute triumph.
Kansas led, 31 to 27, at the half, but the Razorbacks continued to roll during the first half of the second stanza, as the Jayhawkers went 11 minutes without a field goal.
Otto Schnellbacher took the place of Charley Black as scoring leader in the second half, and Kansas began to pull up. The Jayhawkers got within two points of the Porkers, but the big Arkansans began to draw away again, and led by seven points with five minutes to play.
Black left the game on fouls with five minutes to play, but the Jay-hawkers started their rally without him.
Black had been a major power on offense and defense in the first half, but "810" George Kok, Arkansas won. "The brakew" in the second stanza.
Ray Evans stole the ball for a set-up, and was fouled as he missed. He dunked in both charity tosses, and the score stood at 51 to 47. Arkansas
Otto Schnellbacher caged a hook shot, and a moment later, after Peck had stolen the ball and shot, Jack Eskridge pushed in a rebound. Arkansas led. 52-51.
Owen Peck dropped in a scoop shot with four minutes to play, but Arkansas added a free throw a few seconds later.
Kansas men stayed down the floor on defense as the Porkers took their time with a minute to play. Wendell Clark drove in to intercept a pass, and was hipped by Cathcart, Arkansas forward.
Arkansas brought the ball down the court in a desperate effort to score. Three straight shots brought no results, and Otto Schnellbacher came down with the third rebound.
The pro-Kansas crowd went mud
and charity丢掉 calmly
through the rain.
A pass to Wendell Clark was returned to Schnellbacher, who was knocked to the floor by Rankin's desperate charge. A perfect toss from the charity line put the Jay-
hawkers in front with 11 seconds remaining.
Ray Evans fought his way in to take another Arkansas pass and stood holding it while the crowd went into hysterical joy with the final gun.
Striking G.I. Students Face Subsistence Loss
Canyon, Tex. (UP) — Veterans participating in the students' strike at West Texas State college were threatened today with the loss of their subsistence payments under the G.I. Bill of Rights as the four-day old walkout left the campus virtually cleared of students.
More than 75 per cent of the 1,241 enrollment had left Canyon by Sunday night to begin early Christmas vacations at their homes.
Others went to nearby Amarillo to await outcome of the strike which began Friday when 600 ex-servicemen, members of the veterans' club, heard their petition for the ouster of business manager Virgil Hensen who was blamed for delays in veterans' housing and other matters turned down by Pres. J. A. Hill.
The students' decision to leave the campus was prompted by the regents' order closing all college cafeterias and thereby cutting off the regular food source of approximately 900 students.
A telegram to college officials from regional veterans administration headquarters at Lubbock said the subsistence payments would cease "until the veterans re-enter training."
Strike leaders said appeals for action had been made to Gov. Coke Stevenson and to Texas congressmen.

Poor Miriam, Poor Miriam
Does Your Smile Look Different Lately?
FOUND: One bridge. Not of the Brooklyn or Golden Gate ilk, but an essential portion of someone's dental equipment.
The bridge was turned in to the Daily Kansan business office today by Mrs. Coen Byrn, hostess at the Memorial Union.
A note from Mrs. Byrn says the bridge was "left or lost in the Union fountain."
It is made up of two teeth, believed to be incisors from the central fore-part of the lower jaw. No tobacco stains are perceptible, indicating either a non-smoker or a superior dentifrice.
The teeth are reposing peacefully, although somewhat forlornly in a small box which formerly contained paper clips.
The individual who is going around wearing a smile with a hole in it can fill the gap by calling at the Kansan business office.
Hogan Will Represent Newman Club In Play
William Hogan, education junior, will represent the University Newman club in the Kansas Symposium tour, and Hogan and Helen Steinkirchner, College junior, will attend the Student Religious council dinner Monday as representatives of the club.

The Symposium, an annual play with a cast made up of representatives from each college in Kansas, will be presented at Haskell institute this year during Lent.
