PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1944 Iowa Accepts Bid to NCAA; Tigers Probable Reconsidering their original refusal, the University of Iowa has accepted an invitation to participate in the Western National Collegial Athletic Association basketball contest at Kansas City March 24-25. The Big Ten team will take the place of a Rocky Mountain representative which cannot be provided this year. In the meanwhile the Big Six entry goes begging, and it is probable that Missouri will be the selection. After Iowa State turned down the invitation as mathematical winner of the Big Six championship, the Oklahoma Sooners were invited, but they too refused on the basis of inability to provide players for the duration of the tourney. Kansas likewise will not be able to provide a team should they receive a bid, and the task of representing the conference probably will fall to Missouri which should give a good account of itself.

AP's All Big Six Team AP's All Big Six Team The Associated Press announced it's All Big Six team yesterday for the season just concluded. Allie Paine of Oklahoma and Price Brookfield of Iowa State were unanimous choices but the selections for the other positions were extremely close. Don Barrington of Kansas and Ramsey of Oklahoma barely missed the first squad. We believe the second team could give the first team a close game if not beat them. Certainly they would capture almost all the rebounds with Oulman, Barrington, and Ramsey in the lineup. But the first team has the scoring edge with Ray Wehde, Brookfield, and Paine leading the way. Indeed, it would make for an interesting game if FRIDAY and SATURDAY GRANADA TODAY ENDS THURSDAY Because Everybody in Lawrence Wants to See it, This Picture is Being Run One Day Longer Than Our Usual Run.
