TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1945

By JIM MORDY
Several players stood out in the Missouri game. The biggest improvement came in the Jayhawker's defense. Dean Corder guarded Kurash, holding him to three long two-handers. Moffett gave Collins only one field goal, and Peck alternated against both.
Corder and Heim Play Well
Corder surprised the Missouri crowd time after time as he came out with rebounds. Only 5 feet 9½ inches tall, he jumped high to get a good share of the ones that escaped Heim and Reynolds.
Heim also stood out on defense, getting a big share of Kansas rebounds. He guarded the Tiger's big center Heinsohn, or Mickelson, his substitute, playing them rather loosely until they were about to shoot, and then cramming the ball down their throats or knocking it away from their grasp.
Kansas Defense Tighter
Exactly 20 points were cut off the 48 which they scored in Kansas City. Thus, although the Jayhawkers were able to score only six more points their opponents fell away off the previous pace. A part of their trouble might be attributed to an inability to hit the basket. The Tigers might have been a little off in their shooting the other night, but tight Kansas guarding was the real cause.
Collins to Service
Lawrence fans will not get to see Collins this year. The Missouri captain is due to go into the service in about three weeks, or before the return game with the Bengals in Hoch auditorium.
Other Conference Doings
Kansas players were greeted after the game by a telegram from Athletic Director E. C. Quigley. By careful wording "Quig" was able to send it without making it exactly a congratulatory message, thus avoiding the rebuttal which he received at Garden City recently.
Coach Bruce Drake of Oklahoma had to use cars to transport his squad to Manhattan and Lincoln and back last week. With only 48 hours allowed by the navy, and 24 of these between the two games, only 12 hours was left for each half of the trip. Pre-game practice, time for dressing and eating cut heavily into this. In fact, the 500-mile trip from Lincoln to Norman must have been made pretty fast to stay under the margin.
Nebraska is going to find out the caliber of Big Six opposition in a hurry. Following last night's game with Iowa State, the Cornhuskers play here Friday and in Oklahoma City Saturday. They will have played everyone except Missouri by the end of this week.
The Ten Player Limit
Before the Tiger game, Coach George Edwards asked Jayhawk coach "Phog" Allen for his views on the 10-player limit. Conference rules forbid a traveling squad in basketball of more than 10 men. Edwards asked Allen whether the home team was affected by this rule, too.
Allen replied that as far as he was concerned, Edwards could use as many men as he pleased. The rule was intended to cut expenses, and should not hinder a coach's policy of sending in new men for the experience when the outcome is already decided. Edwards used 11 men in the game.
Perhaps the conference should raise the limit, anyway. Football traveling squads are limited to three full teams, 33 men, while basketball gets only two teams. With players leaving all the time for the service, a coach would have more opportunity to develop experienced replacements and raise the caliber of play.

EDGAR "ODD" WILLIAMS
Another member of the Jayhawker's travelling squad this year is Odd Williams. Only 5 feet 10 inches in height, he is a dead shot at the basket. His constant clowning keeps the squad in high spirits on trips.
Playing under Russ Oliver and Ed Charles at Culver Military academy, midwest prechamps last year, Odd had a 12-point average and was selected on the all-conference team. He also played on the baseball team. Living at home out in West Hills, he is a freshman in the College and a pledge of Sigma Chi fraternity.

Coed Basketball Season Reaches Tense Halfway
Most of the women's intramural basketball teams have reached the halfway mark in their season play, and are poised for the final rounds in their respective divisions. Division I
In Division I, Corbin hall and the A.D. D. Pi's are tied with two victories each. The Gamma Phi's have played only one game which they lost to Corbin by a very slim margin. They play the A.D. P.'s tonight. If the A.D. D. Pi team is victorious, Corbin will have one more reason to look for a very tough time defeating them when the two teams meet next week. Watkins hall has not been able to break into the games won column as yet, and the A.O. Pi's have suffered two losses.
Division II
In Division II, the Delta Gamma team, sparked by Ruth Payne at forward has won two games. Tipperary also has two victories. Lock-sley has lost two games, and the Kappa's and Miller hall have lost one game each. So far, the Delta Gamma's, last year's winners, should be most worried about Tipperary because evidently it does have a strong team.
Division III
In Division III, the IWW's have won two games and lost none. The Pi Phi's have won their game from the Sigma Kappa's and are meeting the Theta's in an important game at 8:30 this evening. The Theta's have also won their first game. Foster hall has joined forces with the T.N.T.'s and will meet the Sigma Kappa five at 8:30 tonight. The Sigma Kappa's have lost both of their games.
Division IV
In Division IV, the Chi Omega's are ahead with two games played and won. Harmon Co-op split their games, winning one and losing one. The Alpha Chi's have won their game, and Campus house lost their game to the Alpha Chi's. The IND's were defeated by the Chi Omega's and Harmon Co-op.
The round of games this week will undoubtedly change the standing of several teams, because several of them are playing their most important games of the season.
University Club Dinner Tomorrow
The University club will give a dinner bridge at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
at the Colonial tea room. Reservations may be made with the hosts,
Mr. and Mrs. Bert A. Nash and Mr.
and Mrs. C. B. Holmes.

Beta, Kappa Sig Res. Halls Stay Undefeated
All of the undefeated teams in last night's intramural basketball games remained undefeated, winning without difficulty.
Kappa Sigma ran up a 26 to 8 halftime lead over Tau Kappa Epsilon and then coasted to a 31 to 11 victory. Luhn and Mische led the winners with 9 points apiece. Both 7:30 games were delayed in starting and the second half was cut short, accounting for the low scoring after the halftime rest.
Res. Halls Win Fourth Straight
In the other short game, Residence Halls won their fourth straight, defeating the Sig Alph's 22 to 11. Leading 18 to 3, the winners sent in the second team to finish the game. Kaufman with 8 points and Nemec with 5 led the winners, while Pierpont scored 7 for the SAE team.
Don Dichl led the Beta's with 14 points in winning over Dick's Demons by a 51 to 32 score. The winners led 9-6 at the quarter, 20-11 at the half, and splurged to a 40-20 third period score. Dick made 13 and Long 9 for the losers, while Roderick's 9, Schwanzle's 8, Mowery's 6, and Joseph's 6 added to the Beta's score. It was their second win against no defeats.
Sigma Nu Wins First Game
After a 16 to 16 halftime deadlock, Sigma Nu went on to win their first game by defeating Delta Tau Delta 31 to 26. Miner, Delt, captured scoring honors, however, with 17 points. Stewart and Miller led the winners with 13 and 10 respectively. It was the Delt's second defeat against two wins, and the winners' first victory against two defeats.
K-State Cancels Ball
The Royal Purple Beauty Ball at Kansas State College has been cancelled this year because of the difficulty of obtaining a band and a satisfactory time and place for the dance. The queen and her three attendants will be announced in May when the年books are distributed.

Iowa State Wins; Kansas State Beats Rockhurst in K.C.
Iowa State's Cyclones defeated Nebraska by a 50 to 38 score last night at Lincoln. Leading 9 to 8 after a few minutes, the Cornhuskers fell behind 28 to 19 at halftime and couldn't regain the lead.
Kansas thus lost her share of the lead as the Iowans moved in front with two victories. Nebraska fell into the cellar with her second defeat. Bob Mott scored 18 points for the winners, as Myers, who scored 24 against Kansas State, was held to 3 points. Nebraska's scoring was evenly divided.
Scoring only seven points in the last half, Kansas State still managed to eke out a 44 to 38 victory over Rockhurst in Kansas City last night. The Hawks reduced the Wildcat's halftime lead from 15 points to 5, but the Aggies pulled away to save the game.
