KU Faces Tigers With Big-6 Tie Beating K-state
By handing a surprisingly tough K-State Wildcat team a 32 to 24 defeat at Manhattan last night, the Kansas Jayhawks moved into a third place tie with the Missouri Tigers, each team with a mark of four and four.
Thus Saturday night's Missouri-Kansas battle in Hoch auditorium will be far more than "just another game" for Allen's charges. Since the Jayhawks lost the Big Six opener to Collins, Pippen, & Co., at Columbia, 27 to 35, they must win either Saturday night's game with Missouri or the contest with the league-leading Iowa State Cyclones here the following Friday night to finish in a tie with the Missouriians for third place. Barrington High Scorer
Don Barrington carried the Kansas scoring load last night, scoring 18 points to make it 57 in the last three games. Other Jayhawk scorers were Stucker with four, Sherwood with three, Lindquist, McSpadden, and Moffett with two, and Diehl with one.
Cooley, the only remaining member of Coach Rock's original first five, led the Aggie scoring with 12 points. Jilka, Crist, and Findley gave support with two baskets each. K.U. Gets Early Lead
Kansas acquired a 7-point lead before K-State scored at the end of five minutes, and near the end of the first half held a 16 to 7 margin. Goals by Cooley and Findley, however, cut that advantage down to 18 to 12 at intermission.
The Jayhawks came back strong in the second half, running the count to 25 to 14 before the K-Staters beban matching goals.
Midshipman Course Shortened
The midshipman course at the Naval Academy at Annapolis has been reduced to three years until Aug.1, 1945.
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Another busy day it was for your sports editor with the varsity basketball game and Friday's track meet to cover, the intramural championships to describe, and Big Six and Intramural All-Stars to choose. But it was more than "just another day," for as soon as these final words are struck off it will be "30" for the duration for us: We're army air corps bound.
Pleasure, Indeed!
It has been nothing but pleasure to have been with you ever since the first Summer Session edition last May 25. In practicing up for the fall wars we found the long old summer produced nothing but an intramural cage league and spring football practice to write about. But since the pigskin season rolled around last fall we "never had a dull moment." Undoubtedly, the great 7 to 6 victory over Missouri Homecoming Day was the outstanding sports event of the year. As interesting to write about, however, was the "Frank Merriwell" finish the Jayhawks staged in the Warensburg game by pushing across two last quarter touchdowns and the extra point to win, 13 to 12. Then there was the thrilling Oklahoma basketball game here, although the Missouri and Iowa State games the next two weekends might rival it. We won't be around to tell you "our slants" on the games in the next issue, but we're sure you will find in our place one quite as capable.

Navy Pugs to Go To Haskell Ring
Carl scored six points for the victors, with Leuhring and Chestnut, team manager, each counting three. Scorers for the Phi Delt's were Huebert with six, Scott with five, Harris with five, and Corder with four.
In the battle for third place the Beta's triumphed over the Phi Gam's, 29 to 17, to give the B League, which they represented as runners-up, some consolation after the league champion Phi Delt's had failed to come through.
Despite Harris' best defensive efforts, Pyle, former Macksville star, couldn't be stopped and his power under the basket both on rebounds and shooting brought about the Phi Delt defeat. In leading his team through an all-victorious intramural season, the lanky center earned for himself the honor of being "the outstanding player" of the intramural season.

The Phi Psi's, A League champions, took an early lead which they maintained throughout the hard-fought contest. However, at no time did they hold a comfortable advantage nor did victory seem certain until the very last moments of play. The half time margin was that same three points with the Phi Psi's leading 16 to 13.
