Kansas Meets Olathe N.A.S. In Extra Game
Kansas will entertain the Olathe Naval Air Station Clippers in the Jayhawkers last non - conference game in Hoch auditorium tonight. The Clippers have won 15 out of 22 games this season, and may give the league-leading Jayhawkers quite a battle.
Last year the Clippers defeated the Jayhawks twice, 42 to 36 and 49 to 25. Neither team last year was as star-studded as in 1943, however. That year the Clippers were coached by Jack Gardner, former Kansas State coach, and had two former Phillips Oilers, Grady Lewis and Don Lockard, and Bill Menke, former Indiana and Great Lakes star. Allen's "iron five" conference championship club of that season defeated the Clippers twice, after losing a December battle.
Lt. W. J. "Duke" Nelson, Clipper coach, has lost six players through transfer recently, and his cagers have lost three of their last four games. Jim Comiskey, a forward with a 13 point average, was sent to the Crosse Ile, Mich., Naval Air Station, and John Harvey, Negro center, has gone to sea with a musicians unit.
Dr. Allen plans to start the same lineup tonight which he has been using lately, although he may substitute liberally to give experience to his players in preparation for conference games. The Jayhawkers are looking forward to the Nebraska game at Lincoln Saturday.
None of the players who played on the first Olathe team two years ago remain, and Walter Herkal is the only player left over from last year. Herkal is the captain of this year's outfit and scored 12 field goals against Pittsburgh Teachers last Thursday night. The Clippers lost, however, by a 53 to 51 score.
Students will be admitted on their activity tickets and season tickets will admit others to the game, according to Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the Athletic association.
The probable starting lineup is:

Beta Team Is I-M Champion
Winning over Sigma Nu 30-26, a smooth-working Beta quintet took the men's intramural basketball championship in Robinson gymnasium last night.
Don Diehl sparked the Beta offense with 14 points, and Bill Mowery bulwarked the defense, bottling up George Darsie, the Sigma Nu scoring ace all through the first half.
The Sigma Nu's, who had won eight in a row to lead the A league, were cold. Bob Stewart and Bob Miller, heavy scorers during the season, couldn't hit the basket, although Stewart did come through with the high for his team, 12 points.
Score at the end of the first quarter was 12-4, the Sigma Nu 4 being entirely accounted for by free throws. Near the end of the second quarter the Sigma Nu five began a rally that at one time brought them within 4 points of the victors, 28-24.
Soon after the second half began, Mowery fouled out and was replaced by "Bunk" Chase who was only a little less successful in holding Darse.
The game increased in pace as the final minutes ran out, both sides substituting liberally. Then in the last 30 seconds the Beta's passed the ball around insuring their lead.

Sportorials
By JIM MORDY
Yesterday mention was made of the fact that the track sport lacks interest which should be shown in it. Kansas has probably received more publicity from its track stars than from basketball, baseball, and football put together. Who has not heard of Jim Thorpe or Glenn Cunningham?
Track is an individual sport, while the others are team sports. Although a team member can rely on other members to cover up his weak spots, a track man is on his own. He himself is responsible for his time, distance, or height. In the relay he has other runners on a sort of team, but it is fairly obvious to the spectator whether he is gaining or losing ground to opponents, and a coach can time each member individually to compare the different runners.
After spending his after-school afternoons practicing for football or basketball and seeing the other fellows head for cokes at the corner drug store all winter, the athlete decides not to go out for track this year, and condemns anyone who does as a fool. Although Kansas has produced a lot of good trackman, the state high school records are better in almost every event in other states.
Kansas State looked awfully good in trouncing Missouri by 50 to 29 last night. The interesting thing about the K-State team is that one never knows who is going to score. Weatherby is the most consistent, but last night Atkins went scoreless, Ridgeway had Payton got only three points, and Schultz, who scored zero against Kansas, made 13 counters.
Don't Count Iowa State Out
Again the difficulty goes back to the high schools. Too often the high school coach is a college football or basketball player who knows nothing about track and doesn't care to begin to learn. He has probably coached the football and basketball teams, and he usually lets track run itself. At least this is true in the smaller high schools.
'In the Spring a Young Man's Fancy'
Iowa State seems to be the team everyone is forgetting about. Remember when the Cyclones and the Oklahoma Sooners were doped to repeat easily. The two Kansas schools and Missouri's defeat of the Cyclones rather messed up that prediction. The Cyclones should finish
ahead of Oklahoma, and the question seems to be whether they will tie Kansas State for second or the Jayhawkers for first.
Fred Weingarth, Kansas City radio announcer, picks the Wildcats for first. If they win from the Sooners Saturday they have only home games left with the top teams of the conference, and might be able to do it. If they lose even one more, they will have three defeats and can hardly expect better than a tie for the top spot. Exactly 15 conference games have been played, so the season is halfway over, and four teams still have a chance at the crown.

OBrien Ends Report Of Teaching Salaries
Rarely, if ever, have the opportunities and salaries in teaching been as attractive as they are now, according to Dr. F. P. OBrien of the School of Education.
Dr. OBrien recently completed an analysis and summary of the salaries of school employees in Kansas during the year 1944-45. The 9-page statistical report reveals that Kansas teachers as a whole are paid more now than they received a year ago. This is especially significant because salaries a year ago were substantially higher than those of the preceding year, Dr. OBrien points out.
High school teachers who hold master degrees drew an annual salary which averages $558 higher than those received by teachers with bachelor degrees, the report indicates.
Copies of Dr. OBrien's report are being distributed by the School of Education to public school officials and others interested in the employment of teachers.
