Iowa Replaced By Missouri For Play-offs
The University of Missouri has accepted an invitation from the National Collegiate Athletic Association to replace the University of Iowa in the organization's western play-offs at Kansas City, March 24 and 25. The Tigers will go back to the court for practice today, Coach George R. Edwards announced last night.
Professor Sam Shirkey, chairman of the university's committee on intercollegiate athletics, said the committee had approved acceptance of the bid and that other Big Six conference schools had agreed to Missouri's participation in the tournament. Under ordinary conditions the league permits only its champion to compete for the national title. Missouri finished in a tie for third in the recent Big Six campaign, winning five and losing five games.
The University of Iowa, one of the four teams originally selected for the western play-offs as an alternate for the Rocky Mountain conference, was forced to withdraw when the Hawkeyes' two leading scorers were expected to be drafted by the armed services. Missouri was extended the invitation late yesterday.
The other teams in the Western play-offs are Iowa State, co-champion of the Big Six; Arkansas, representing the southwest, and Pepperdine college of Los Angeles, representing the west coast. The winner of the Kansas City affair will go to New York to meet the winner of the eastern play-offs for the national championships.

Sportorials By Charles Moffett
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen says that after the war many revolutionary changes will take place in basketball. One of these will be enlarging the playing court, both in length and width. He also said he wouldn't be surprised to see a great field house on the campus with a seating capacity of 16,000 or more to take care of the crowds at the basketball games. Fans want to sit on the sidelines, not on the endlines to watch a game, and only a large field house would make this possible. Indeed, the University of Kansas does need a better place to play basketball. Hoch auditorium doesn't provide a suitable place to play as it is used for many other activities, forcing the team to practice in Robinson gymnasium. Fans have to sit on one side of the court, limiting good seating capacity. A large new field house would go fine with the excellent football stadium we have. Together they would make a fine athletic layout comparable to any in the country.
One of the biggest sports questions making the rounds today is whether the big leagues will be able to finish the coming baseball season. Every day the player situation changes because of changes in the draft classifications. Many of the great names of baseball will be missing this summer, and before the penant race is completed, no doubt several more will be gone. However, we predict that somehow the Great American Game will carry on, even with travel regulations, player shortages, and all the other wartime obstacles to the sport.

Missouri's track hopes received a severe jolt last week when four men were lost to the armed forces. One of these was Arnold, who tied for first in the pole vault in the recent Big Six indoor meet in Kansas City. . . . Bob Kurland, a 7-footer from the Oklahoma Aggies, may hit a 400-point total for the season. He has 375 points already with two more regular season games yet to play and at least one post-season contest. . . . Sixteen regularly-scheduled doubleheader basketball games in Madison Square Garden drew a total of 250,254 fans, an average of 15,658 per game. Post season games are expected to boost the total by at least 100,000.

Baroness von Trapp then told of the dire need to keep families together, especially in wartime, for, she said, "a country is as strong as its families." She related that family life in Austria became impossible and so they came to the United States four years ago with less than $50 between them. She has two boys in the army, stationed in Colorado, and her youngest child is their farm home in Vermont.
The evening's program ended with a statement by the Baroness that wars are not only fought with weapons such as guns and tanks, but with deep and earnest prayers, and requested that the audience join in the singing of "America" as a heartfelt prayer.
