The semifinal game between PT 7 and PT 9 will be played at 4:30 p.m. tomorrow in Robinson gymnasium and the winner will play the winner of the upper bracket sometime next week for the championship.
Cheerleaders Are Also Clowns At U. of Minnesota
Our cheerleaders should take advantage of the large audience and perform as do those at the University of Minnesota. The cheerleaders have become artists of showmanship and have perfected a technique of clowning and roughing which keeps the fans howling with laughter.
It starts with Earl Mahacheck declaring loudly that Minnesota will not win the game. Then Arnie Gilbertson knocks him down and Paul Serruels picks him up, pushes him back and Arnie knocks him down again.
It is a vicious circle. The cheerleading lads and lassies put it over with such vigor that, after the Michigan game during which Earl was knocked down several times, an old lady rushed up to Arnie and scolded him soundly for "picking on someone smaller than himself."—(ACP)

Know Your Team
LOH GOEHRING
Lou scored 5 points in the first two games for the Jayhawkers this season, but had to drop basketball for a while to catch up on his studies. He is the third letterman from last year's team and will probably play more as the season progresses. Lou made the Oklahoma trip, scoring a free throw in the overtime period to aid the Kansans' cause.
Playing for Austin Andrews and Frank Groves at Arkansas City high, Lou made all-Ark Valley forward his senior year, also finishing high in the individual scoring race. Lou is a junior and a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.

Kansas State surely set a new scoring record last Saturday, but no credit has been given them in other papers. Only season before last, the Kansas Jayhawkers racked up 69 points against Missouri to set a new record. Kansas City papers, the Daily Kansan, and the Associated Press all ran stories on the new record during the next week.
By JIM MORDY
Last year none of the war-time Big Six teams approached that mark in conference games. Yet when Kansas State won over Nebraska by a 70-48 score no one even mentioned the fact that it was a new conference scoring record.
Iowa State has set up a golf ball reclaiming service. Yes, the college athletic department has gone into the business. For 60 cents apiece they will fix them up for any Iowa golfer, or they will buy the balls at $1.20 a dozen, recondition them, and sell them.
Iowa State Reclaims Golf Ball
Athletic Director George Veenker expects 10,000 balls to be sent in by Feb. 1 so that the department can have them ready by spring. If "Quig" runs out of things to do he might try this angle. If he could make a dime a ball profit, he would have $1,000 to apply on the stadium debt.
Missouri's defeat of Iowa State was like the German's December offensive into Belgium. It's not going to give the Tigers the title, but it may keep the Cyclones out. Unless the Tigers can defeat the Sooners tomorrow night, it hardly looks possible for them to win any of their remaining games except possibly Nebraska.
Collins' graduation will remove the Missourians' only letterman, except Heinsohn and Dellastatious, who were not regulars last year. The Tiger captain's last game will be against Norman Navy on Saturday night following their O. U. game. Collins and Eugene Kurash are the only Tigers with a better-than-7-point average. It is this lack of scoring punch that has hurt them.

Kansas has already beaten them at Columbia, and Oklahoma and Kansas State should now, so that Iowa State will be the only one to suffer. Vets Unable to Play in High School.
Something for state high school officials to consider is the age of returning veterans. Present rules prohibit anyone who has reached his 20th birthday from playing in high school football or basketball games. Many high school stars have been drafted before completing high School. After spending a couple of years in the service they find themselves ineligible for high school competition.
Of course, it might be unfair to he 16 and 17-year-olds to play against 20 and 21-year-old veterans' so maybe it would be better not to et them play. Indiana high school officials have been giving the situation a lot of thought, however.
