KU Lineup Changed For Missouri Game
Opening its Big Six season, The Jayhawk basketball team will play Missouri at Columbia tonight.
By shifting Moffett to forward and giving the center spot to Dean Corder, Coach Allen will try a new starting combination in an effort to find the right group to handle the more experienced Tigers. Moffett at Forward Position
These changes make the starting lineup read, Moffett and Reynolds, forward; Corder, center; Scott and Heim, guard. Hill and Carlson will substitute in the forward positions, Daum and Peek may be seen at guard, and Williams will relieve Corder at center.
In a light pre-game workout last night, Coach Allen had two groups of ten men that made the trip to Columbia, running plays with little opposition to polish their coordination.
Missouri Lineup Unchanged
The Missouri coach, George R. Edwards, intends to use the same starting lineup that faced the Jayhawkers in the pre-season game in Kansas City. The veteran Paul Collins and Earl Stiegemeier at guard, Robert Heinsohn, also a veteran player, at center, and Eugene Kurash and Harold Weir, forwards.
Records Broken Two Years Ago
In the first conference game of the 1944 season, Kansas lost to a taller and faster Missouri team 35-28. Moffett led the scoring with 14 points. Paul Collins made 10 points for the Tigers.
Records Broken Two Years Ago
Two years ago, the season opener with Missouri saw two Big Six scoring records go down as the Jayhawkers trounced the Tigers 69-44.
Charlie Black broke the Conference individual scoring record which stood at 30 by pegging 33 counts. The former team record, 68 points, held by Oklahoma, succumbed to the Jayhawker's total of 69 for the game.
Some may remember the 1942 game in which Kansas also defeated the Tigers. 48-24.
STORY OF KU's - - contact work, covering Kansas, attending luncheons, and placing his proposition before the alumnus personally. And he is netting results in a big way. Thursday, Jan. 4. $13,000 in bonds and cash was on the desk of Mr. Quigley, and many more promises will be fulfilled shortly. There have been seven $1000 bond donors and the same number of $500 donors. And Quig's drive only began Dec. 1.
(continued from page one)
$113,000. When Mr. Quigley came to the University, he received notes and calls of congratulations from his friends all over the country, which said, "You can get the job done, Quig." And many added, "If there's ever anything I can do to help in any way, just let me know."
So Quig let them know. He has enlisted the help of every Kansas University alum in his big project of his first year at K.U—the erasing of the stadium debt. Already the debt has been reduced to $108,000, $5000 being paid Dec. 1.
Bonds to Help K.U. and U.S.
To go about accomplishing this amazing feat, Mr. Quigley contacted all available alumnus (he has the names of 11,571 in the state of Kansas alone) and has asked them to buy a bond or bonds, thus helping the war effort and aiding K.U. by making the bond payable to the Kansas University Endowment association. The "F" bond or bonds is to be used in payment on the principal debt or on the interest, and is deductible from the donor's income tax. To wipe the slate clean, Quig needs 1527 bond buyers of $100 each. His rush line is to get 25 $1000 bond donors, and to fill in the backfield with smaller donations.
"Quig" Has Two Assistants
Mr. Quigley is able assisted by Earl Falkenstein, financial secretary of the Athletic association, and Mrs. Broderick Johnson, secretary. Quig is particularly proud of the fact that not one mimeographed or carbon letter has gone out of his office, but each letter has been a personal one, written by Mrs. Johnson.
Quig himself is taking care of the
"Quarterback"
DEAN CORDER
"Phog" Allen's choice for the "quarterback" position on the startling lineup for the season opener tonight with Missouri, is Dean Corder, short on hi height but long on scrap and fight. One of the three returning lettermen Dean played in 18 of the 25 games on the Kansas schedule for 1944. He is a junior in the School of Engineering; came to the University from Welda, Kansas.
Rep. May Favors National Service Act Or Work or Fight Law
Washington—(INS)—Representative Andrew J. May, Democrat, of Kentucky, chairman of the house military committee announced today that, depending upon the President's recommendations to congress tomorrow he will move for enactment of either a national service act or a work or fight law for 4-F's. May said he considered the passage of the legislation to draft 4-F's for essential war work was "likely" this year.
Quig's campaign motto is to exchange a "Headache for a Halo." Buy a bond for the stadium, and become a member of the K.U. Halo club. The halo, however, should be put on ice for one person besides St. Peter—that's Ernest C. Quigley, our boy Quig, who really knows how to get the job done.

Chi O's, Harmon Corbin A.D. Pi's Win Third Round
The Chi Omega's rolled up 27 points to defeat Campus house 27 to 3 in the third round of women's intramural basketball last night. Pat Coolidge, Chi Omega forward, made 9 points for her team to lead the scoring. Honey Jack, Campus house, succeeded in making the only 3 point her team was able to score. Mimi Nettles, Bonnie Jean Holden, and Betty Lou Nichols, played an outstanding defensive game for the Chi Omega's.
Another lop-sided game and something in the way of an upset was the Harmon Co-op victory over the IND team to the tune of 12 to 2. The IND team couldn't get anything in the basket from the field and Mary Dell Burnside made only two of her five chances at the free throw line. Lorna Nokes, Lois Harkleroad, and Jean Boardman sparked the Harmon team with Nokes making 8 points for high point player of the game.
Corbin Defeats Gamma Phi's
The closest game last night was the Corbin vs. Gamma Phi game. Corbin won by 2 points with a 16 to 14 score, Dorothy Bruce, Corbin, led the scoring column for the game with 10 points. Lucy Johnson was a close second making 8 for the Gamma Phi's. Maxine Kalley and Roberna Sue McCluggage along with Johnson and Billye Simmons kept the ball game under control for the Gamma Phi's with Luille Paslay, Edith Boehmer, and Norma Jean Pyke playing a good defensive game for Corbin.
A. O. Pi's Bow to A. D. Pi's
Sportorials
The A. O. Pi's bowed out to the A.D. Pi's 34 to 21 in their game last night. The half-time score 11-16, indicated that the game would be close, but in the second half the A. D. Pi's pulled out in front to make 18 more points and held the A. O. Pi's to only 10 more. Lucille Land, star forward, made 18 points for the A. D. Pi's with plenty of support coming from Jeanne Cooper who added 12 points to her team score. Wilma Jean Bown made 13 points for the A. O. Pi's.
Remember a story last fall about the difficulty of fitting college football schedules into Navy training schedules? Coach Henry Shenk moaned about such troubles.
The same can be said for basketball, as "Phog" Allen mentioned to a sports reporter last night. The trip to Columbia, Mo., as it should be made, to give the team enough time for rest and a little pre-game exercise in enemy territory, should take 52 hours. But the navy will allow the V-12 men only 48 hours off the campus for such games as the one tonight.
"Phog" not Griping
"I'm not gripping," the coach said,
"I'm not forgetting that these men are in school to train for the Navy. They've got a job to do — we all have." And "Doc" does have the right idea. He wants to co-operate fully. He concluded with "We'll just make the best of what we have."
Still, he does-have his worries. Ray Lance, who is a navy medic, was prevented from making the trip because of classes. He has classes today from which he cannot be excused. In revealing this, Dr. Allen again said that he was not kicking, that he knows the importance of the medics in the war at this time. Lance will be available for all the home games, a fact that is a real compensation.
Coach Allen's complaint that he hadn't time enough to make the 184-mile trip with proper consideration for the men brought to mind a remark we had heard, from an unquotable source—something about Columbia being the "Siberia" of the Big Six.

Russia Recognizes Lublin Government
London — (INS) — The Moscow radio announced tonight that Soviet Russia has recognized the Polish provisional government established at Lublin. The state department in Washington reacted unfavorably to the announcement. On January 1 Secretary of State Stettinius announced the American intention to maintain diplomatic relations with the Polish government at London which is strongly at odds with the Lublin group.
