Jayhawkers Go 'Cornhusking' In Hoch Tonight
The Jayhawkker quintet opens the second semester Big Six battle when it encounters the Nebraska Cornhuskers at 7:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium.
Kansas court men have remained silent since swapping K-State 68-42 two weeks ago. Nebraska kept the Jayhawkers at a steady pace earlier in the season when they dropped their first game to Kansas, 56-45.
Dangerous men in the Nebraska club are Bob Korte, center, and Joe Brown, forward. Leo Schneider is considered one of the best guards in the conference.
The final four conference games for Kansas will be completed in two weeks. Beaten only by the Mt. Oread quintet, the Oklahoma Sooners crept within a half game of the Jayhawkers Tuesday night by taking K-State, 57-44, at Manhattan. If KU. and Oklahoma can climb through the rest of the conference contests undefeated, the Feb. 28 game at Norman will be held for the tussle.
Oklahoma must meet the dangerous Iowa State team at Ames Feb. 23. If they get by Kansas Feb. 28, they still must humble the rejuvenated Missouri Tigers March 2 before claiming a slice of the championship pie.
Undefeated in six Big Six contests, and beaten only by the national champion Oklahoma Aggies, the Jayhawkers must conquer Missouri and Iowa State in addition to Nebraska before moving into Norman to capture the Big Six crown.
Jack Ballard, the forward reserve on the 1943 champion team had been scheduled to be suited up for tonight's game, but probably will not return to the Kansas court until next week after he completes a

Thinclads Meet M.U. In Columbia Saturday
The K.U. track team will go after its second straight win of the indoor season Saturday when an 18-man Jayhawker squad matches strides and strains with Missouri in Columbia.
Victors over Oklahoma, 56-48 in their first dual meet of the season, and winners of six places in the Michigan State indoor relays last week, the red and blue thinclads are slipping into the limelight as a first-class conference title contender.
Kansas will carry a pair of new performers against the Bengals in Tom Scofield, high jumper and broad jumper, and Dick Anderson, spinner and pole vaulter. Scofield holds the K.U.-M.U. dual meet high jump record at six feet three. He also won the outdoor title in his specialty two years ago and tied for the indoor crown.
Anderson will be given a trial in the 60-yard dash and pole vault.
the 60-yard dash and pole vault.
Along with Seoldaf, Kanchl is counting on points from his randy developing quartermiller, Johnny Jackson; Shot-putter LeRoy Robison; Hurdler Dexter Welton, Broad-jumper Mel Stevens; and distance paddle Hal Moore.
Jackson established a new KU indoor record for the 440 with a 51.1 performance as leadoff man for the Jayhawk distance medley relay team at East Lansing. This quartet finished behind Michigan and Notre Dame to take third place.
Robison arched the shot 44-4 for fifth place after taking at Oklahoma with a toss of $44.81\%$. Welton picked off a fourth in the broad jump at 21-7 and is expected to improve this mark against the Tigers. In an effort to keep the Spartan games with a leap at 22-4 in the broad jump and will be a definite threat for the indoor crown next month.
Moore, who was unbeaten in conference cross-country competition, won both the mile and two-mile against O.U. and was party to a pair of placing relay teams at Michigan State.
27 Students In Flying Club
Interest in flight activity on the campus has shown a decided increase with the opening of the second semester indicating a total of 27 students, a record high, active in the Jayhawk Flying club.
The club goal, a private pilot's license, was attained by nine of the 10 members participating in the program last semester, with the remaining student to obtain a certificate soon upon completion of flight time at Lawrence airport.
The ground school supervisor, Prof. W. M. Simpson, anticipates a further increase in the program, provided approval is obtained from the Veteran's Administration to offer the training at government expense through the G.I. Bill of Rights. Those participating on a non-veteran basis pay a $40 club membership fee plus $8.50 an hour for actual flying time at the airport.
Flight instruction will begin this weekend, with ground school classes continuing in the Aeronautical Engineering building at 10:30 o'clock Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Applications for admission will be received for another week, Professor Simpson announced today.
Those receiving private pilot certificates last semester included Tom Bailey, Shirley Cundiff, Prof. Lowell Laudon, Clyde Lunger, Ann Newcomer, Sue Newcomer, Evangeline Pratt, Richard Wilhoit and John Higdon.
Members of the club this semester include Jacqueline Logan, Shirley Otter, Richard Cray, Max Hand, Wilma Kendell, Albert Pendleton, Charles Schafer, Achilles Wheat, Thomas Gregg, James Marshall, William Pendleton, Crayton Benton, Gilbert Bartling, John Exley, James Topping, Charles Powell, Richard Pine, John Fowler, Robert York, Anderson Chandler, Paul Zook, James Draper, Virginia Stephenson, Lloyd Svoboda, William Newell, Gilbert West, and Jesse Lewis.
