Kansas regained first place in the topsy-turvy Big Six race by defeating Kansas State Wildcats 39 to 36 in a tight battle last night in Hoch auditorium.
Kirk Scott dropped in a long one to give the Jayhawkers a 37 to 36 lead with only 1 minute and 40 seconds to play. Getting the ball again after a missed Aggie shot, Charles Moffet passed to Gordon Reynolds who hit a setup to clinch the game at 39 to 36 with 45 seconds to play. Kansas took the ball out-of-bounds on three Wildcat fouls and successfully stalled away the remaining time.
Trouble Starts After Half
After leading by a three to seven point margin throughout the first half, the Jayhawkers found themselves in trouble shortly after intermission. With the score standing at 21 to 16. Owen Peck began the second half with a free throw. Dave Weatherby, high scorer for the Wildcats with 13 points, sank a one-hander from the corner, but Herb Heim tipped one in and Moffet sank a one-hander to build the lead to 28 to 18.
Then things began to pop. Ridgway dropped in a long set shot, followed by a free throw. Weatherby made a short one-hander, and then a long swisher from away out. Ridgway hit his second long set shot and the Aggies were ahead 27 to 26. Moffet tied it up with his eight straight free throw, but Weatherby uncorked two more of his one-handers to run the count to 31-27.
State Scores 13 in 4 Minutes
Things began to look bad for the Jayhawkers. In four minutes the K-Staters had scored 13 points, dropping them in from all over the court. Most of the shots did not touch the rim of the basket, but settled directly in the net. Kansas had been able to
KFKU Speakers Explain Basic Ideas Of Dumbarton Plan
The basic ideas of the Dumbarton Oaks proposal were explained last night by Mrs. H. L. Reedy, state president of the League of Women Voters, and Mrs. Allan Crafton, state chairman of the foreign policy committee of the league, on a KFKU broadcast.
The proposal provides for an international court to settle matters of international law, a social and economic consul to destroy the causes of war, and an assembly and security council, composed of the entire membership for maintaining the peace. The peace, according to the proposal, may be preserved with the use of force as a last resort, Mrs. Reedy explained. Force is not a policy of the proposal.
The understanding and active support of all the peoples of the world is necessary for the Dumbarton Oaks proposal to be carried out efficiently, the league president said. She emphasized that the post-war action is "not committed to a blueprint."

hit only one free throw and could not seem to get the rebounds.
Gordon Reynolds restored Kansas' hopes, however with an under the-basket shot and a tip-in to tie the score. Jay Payton retaliated for the Aggies with a long set shot, after which Bill Schultz made a free toss to give the Wildcats the lead again, 34 to 31.
Moffett Ties Up Score
Reynolds got a free throw and Moffet hit another one-hander to bring the two teams to a 34 to 34 tie with five minutes remaining. Heim's free throw gave the Jayhawkers a brief lead, quickly wiped out by Dick Spencer's long set shot. After Jack Kinchelson missed a charity shot, Scott and Reynolds scored and the game was over, Kansas the winner bv 39 to 36.
Enthusiasm ran to a higher pitch during the game than it has at any game since the 1943 season. A crowd of Kansas State students cheering for their team developed a new pride on the part of the home crowd.

They were only able to score one point during the second quarter and still weren't able to rally until the fourth quarter of the ball game. The half time score gave the DG's 17 points against 8 for the Chi Omega team. A fourth quarter rally by the Chi Omega's brought them up within threatening distance of the DG's but the clock stopped them before they could make that threat good.

Beth, Ryther Return From Journalism Tour Of Eastern Schools
Useful ideas and tips for the proposed new William Allen White School of Journalism at the University were brought back by representatives of the department of journalism who returned last night from a trip which took them to six noted journalism schools over the nation, according to T. C. Ryther, director of the University Press. Mr. Ryther and Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department, were the department representatives who made the trip.
Lay-out for the proposed remodeling of Fowler shops into a journalism building was especially considered, Mr. Ryther said, as the faculty members studied typographical laboratories, advertising and radio rooms, and photographic dark rooms at the schools. Plans for the formation of a journalism library were also discussed.
During the week's trip the K. U. men visited journalism schools at the University of Missouri, Columbia; the University of Illinois, Urbana; Northwestern University, Evanston; the University of Chicago Press; the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis; and Iowa State College, Ames. A new journalism building has recently been opened at Iowa State College, Mr. Ryther said.
Mr. Ryther and Mr. Beth also attended the annual convention of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism in Chicago Jan. 26 and 27.

Both of Kansas' winning streaks were preserved last night. The Aggies still have not won a conference game from the Jayhawkers since 1837, and the Jayhawkers are still undefeated on their home court this season.
Thirteen of the 30 conference games have now been played. Kansas now has a definite lead over the rest of the teams. Remember how the standings were figured with the cellar Cornhuskers left out. Doing that now, Kansas would lead with three victories to one defeat, Oklahoma would follow with two and one, and all the rest would be below 500.
Javhawks Lead on Road Games
Still the Jayhawkers remain the only conference team with a road victory over any team besides Nebraska. Iowa State has four home games left, plus a Norman and a Manhattan trip. Oklahoma has but two home encounters, has to play Iowa State twice, and meets both Missouri and Kansas on their courts.
Kansas State goes to Norman, Lincoln, and Columbia, but plays the tough Iowa State and Kansas games at home in addition to a home game with Missouri which they should win.
KU Moves up in Scoring Race
Scoring 27 and 24 points in the past two games, Gordon Reynolds and Charles Moffett figure pretty well up in the individual scoring race by now. Hines' 10 points against Missouri, Mayers' 7 against Kansas, and Mott's failure to hit more than five in the same game have sent these men's averages down and the race is very close.
Oklahoma got such a warm welcome when they played Phillips university last week that they are attempting to set up some kind of a program at Norman. The hospitable
