Jayhawks Beat M.U. In Big Six Opener
Starting in on their 17th Big Six basketball season, the Kansas Jayhawks completely outplayed the Missouri Tigers to win by a score of 45 to 28 at Brewer field house, Columbia. Mo., Friday night.
High scorers for the game were Charles Moffett and Eugene Kurash. Moffett scored 11 and Kurash 9. Kansas Away to An Early Lead
Dean Corder opened the scoring with a side shot. By the time Gordon Reynolds had made a long one and a one-hand jump shot, Collins had dropped in four free throws for Missouri. After Moffett hit a free throw and a long one, Kurah hit a long one to make the score 9 to 6. Kansas leading. After that the Missourians were never close.
Reynolds hit a free shot, Kirk Scott a one-hander, Owen Peck made two free throws, a set-up and a long shot to build up an 18-9 lead for the Jayhawkers. Both teams then exchanged a couple of baskets to end the first half, Kansas leading 22 to 13. Heim and Moffett scored for Kansas and Collins and Mickelson for the Tigers.
Corder Sparks Second Half Drive
Corder Sparks Second Half Drive
Opening the second half, Kurash dropped in a free throw and Mickelsen got a tip-in to cut the Kansas lead to six points. Corder again opened the Jayhawkers' scoring, sparking the new Kansas drive with two quick set-ups.
Herb Heim then sank a long one, Moffett made a set-up, and Corder and Scott hit free throws to give the winners a 32 to 20 lead. Mickelson had scored two free throws and Kurash a long one for the Tigers in the meantime.
Game Gets Rough at the End
Weir made two free tosses and Mickelson dropped in a pivot shot for the Bengals which Scott matched with a set-up and a free throw to make the score Kansas 36. Missouri 24. Numerous fouls were then called as the Missourians became a little rough in a last desperate attempt to save the game. Collins and Stiege-meier were taken out of the game with five fouls.
Kansas, converting these fouls to points via the foul line, dropped in nine more free throws to reach the final 45 score. Moffett hit three, Scott two more, Peck two, Corder one, and Everett Hill one. Kurash dropped in his third long two-hander of the evening and then he and Weir scored charity tosses to end the Missouri scoring.
Reversal of Previous Game
The game was a complete reversal of the 48 to 39 defeat which Kansas suffered at the hands of the Bengals in Kansas City before Christmas. The Jayhawkers are now tied with the Iowa State Cyclones for the league lead with one win apiece.
Coming to Lawrence this Friday night, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will open the conference season in Eah auditorium.
BERT BRANDT---his breakfast the next morning with fervor. "Ernie really can cook eggs," Bert commented.
(continued from page one) Bert could supply them. Eggs were scarce so technique and tact were required if they were to have them for breakfast.
Brandt being a good schemer from "away back to his apple polishing days at K.U." would go up to the mer in charge of supplies and say "Look at Ernie, poor boy, he's so darned skinny and run down—haven't you got an extra chocolate bar or something for him?" Well sure enough the G.I. would have a few tucked away for himself but would give them to Brandt for Ernie. Brandt would take the chocolate bars, go out trade them to the peasant women for eggs and return with the hen fruit for breakfast. In answer to queries as to where or how he got the eggs, Bert would always stress the "dear old ladies are just so glad to see us and be liberated again" angle and devour
Jayhawk Forward
OWEN PECK
Owen scored eight points in Friday night's game with Missouri, and sparked the first half drive which gave the Jayhawks a comfortable working lead throughout the rest of the game. He alternated with Charles Moffett and Dean Corder, the three playing about the same amount of time.
All-state at Wyandotte high under Marian Wools two years ago, Owen averaged close to 20 points a game at Kansas City junior college last year. He is a sophomore in the College.
Brandt Keeps Cool Head?
Of course Brandt was at Paris when De Gaulle marched into the city and was riding in a jeep behind the General when the fireworks broke loose at the cathedral of Notre Dame. From his vantage point beneath the jeep—Brandt has an excellent view of the bullets bouncing off the front of the cathedral but being the calm, cool collected photographer that he is, he went about loading his camera as though it wasn't at all uncomfortable under that jeep. Much to his surprise and annoyance he found that he had loaded his camera with a roll of cherry life-savers!
His pictures have taken him to a lot of places and through a good many experiences and it looked as though sometimes "the end of the reel was in sight." However he made it back to the U.S. talked to a lot of people, rested, gained 20 pounds, and after a refreshing day at the University of Kansas Brandt said he's ready to go back out there and start shooting-his camera along with the rifles and machine guns in this war again. The war isn't over for Bert Brandt, for the G. I. Joe's, or for the army nurses.
He's Ready to Do More Shooting
Chancellor Deane W. Malott left last night for Washington, D. C., where he will attend a meeting of the Business Advisory council. He will return to the campus at the end of the week.

Leaders Play College Fives
Going into the home stretch of this season's intramural basketball, games tonight will feature the top teams in each league against the bottom clubs. Upsets are always possible, but the outcome of tonight's games should not be too hard to predict.
Ukiahton Teams Slated to Win
Unbeaten Teams Slated to Win
In the "A" league's 7:30 opener, the unbeaten Kappa Sig team plays the cellar Teke five. The Kappa Sig's have won from Delta Tau Delta 28 to 27 and from the Draft Dodgers by a 33 to 18 score. Their opponents have yet to win a game, losing to K A Psi 31 to 13, Phi Delt 51 to 17, and DTD 14 to 6.
Unbeaten Residence Halls, winner of three straight, takes on the cellar SAE team in the 7:30 "B" game. The Sig Alphs have not been able to develop any kind of scoring punch, making only 10 and 11 points in their first two games. Led by Ashcraft, Saffell, and Kaufman, the league leaders should have little difficulty in keeping their win streak intact. Second Games to Be Closer
Beta Theta Pi is matched against Dick's Demons in the second "B" league encounter. The Beta's have played only one game, winning from Phi Gam by 34 to 26. The Demons have won only from the Sig Alphs, while losing to Sigma Chi by 25 to 23 and Residence Halls by 31 to 11.
Sigma Nu tangles with Delta Tau Delta in the 8:30 "A" game. The Sigma Nu club has lost to Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Delta Theta without winning a game, but gave the leading Phil Delts their closest score so far. The Delt's have won from the Tekes and Draft Dodgers, but lost a close, one-pointer to the Kappa SIGs. This game should be the closest of the evening's encounters.

House Mothers Meet Today
Sportorials
By JIM MORDY
Perhaps you've wondered why the point layers always spot the home team a four to eight point advantage for a basketball game and equivalent amounts in other sports. After all, the baskettails are just alike, the floor about the same size, the backboards exactly the same shape and size, and the equipment worn is the team's own.
Fatigue From Trip Is Difference
Of course the crowd is all for the home team, but in the heat of the battle little attention is paid to the crowd anyhow. The biggest difference comes in the physical and mental fatigue resulting from the trip to the other school.
Take Friday's trip to Columbia as an example (and it's probably the worst in the Big Six). To keep within the 48-hour limit set by the navy, as was pointed out in the Sportorials column Friday, one must arise at the bright hour of 4:30 am, in order to catch the 5:20 train to Kansas City. After a two hour wait, a change is made to the Wabash.
Arriving in Centralia, Mo., about 11:30, one must again wait in the station or pace the streets for an hour and a half before the local for Columbia is ready to leave. It is a local, too, with a stove at each end of the car. It runs forward from Centralia to Columbia and backward on the return, picking up milk cans at the crossroads.
Proper Mental Spirit Necessary After a couple hours of daytime
ALLIES PLOUGH---sleeping in the hotel, the squad may be able to overcome most of this fatigue. If they are in the proper frame of mind, their fatigue will be forgotten. If not, the strange court and crowd will begin to play on their nerves, and their playing will suffer noticeably.
(continued from page one) Japanese seemed to be forthcoming. The Japanese radio said that American warships were shelling the shores of Lingayen gulf and that American fighters and bombers were bombarding and strafing shore installations. The Japs added that they expect an invasion at any moment. There was no confirmation from American headquarters.
Tank Team Will Swim at I. U.
A full schedule of swimming meets has been arranged for the Illinois University men's tank team this season, Coach Ed Manley stated. Most of the members are Navy V-12 students.
Thrilling, Authentic Adventure. The mission that electrified the world!

That the Jayhawkers were in the right spirits is shown by the result of their win over a team which had beaten them in Kansas City only two weeks earlier. Not only did they win, but ran up a sizeable margin in doing so. Before the game several players expressed the opinion that it was almost a necessity to win this first game, and if won, it might be the start of a successful season, with the Kansans finishing higher than pre-season predictions might indicate.
Best Road Team the Winner
What happens if the team is not in the right spirits is shown by Iowa State's 60 to 31 win over Kansas State. On comparative scores with Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Kansas, the Iowans would seem to be 30 points better than Oklahoma and Nebraska, and 10 better than Kansas. The Iowans will be lucky even to beat Oklahoma at Norman, much less by 30 points. It looks like the Big Six winner this year is going to be the team which can win the biggest share of the road games. The Jayhawkers are off to a flying start.
