Kansas to Play War-Weakened Wildcats Tonight
The Kansas Jayhawk basketeers will journey up the Kaw tonight to take on the war-weakened Kansas State Wildcats in the 100th battle between the two state rivals in their long cage history.
Kansas has triumphed 68 times, and since the formation of the Big Six in 1929, has lost only five times while winning 38.
The Wildcats, coached by the youthful Cliff Rock, really gave the Jayhawks a battle here earlier in the season when they succumbed by only six points, 30 to 36, after giving the Allenmen a scare all the way.
Aggies Are Big Six Victoryless
However, since then the Aggies victoryless in Big Six play, have lost four of their original first five and have only Charles Cooley, Cunningham freshman, remaining. In losing Otto, Gish, Doyan, and Schwartz, Rock found the life blood of his team lost and virtually irreplaceable. Depending entirely on civilian material, the K-State mentor has all season been faced with losses to the services just when he thought he had a combination capable of going places.
The Mt. Oreadmen are top heavy favorites in tonight's contest. The expected victory will place the Kansas in a tie for third with the Missouri Tigers, each then with four triumphs and four losses. The big battle will come here Saturday night when the Jayhawks and Tigers fight it out for third place laurels behind Iowa State and Oklahoma.
< Eleven Players to Make Trip
Dr. Allen will again start Barrington and Moffett, at forwards, Sherwood at center, and McSpadden and Turner at guards. Stucker, Diehl, Lindquist, Frank, Dick, and Goehring will also make the trip.
Since the game is expected to be a replica of the Nebraska encounter last week when the Kansas forwards, Barrington and Moffett, often times worked in for under-the-basket shots, these two are expected to boost their individual scoring averages considerable in the Wildcat fray.

A report will be forlcoming concerning the transfer of certain V-12 gridders who were being counted on heavily to lead Crimson and Blue to a successful season next fall. In fact, unfortunately, three of the most outstanding returning lettermen are among those being shipped out to officer's schools and other V-12 college training units. Their names are being withheld, however, until they have successfully completed final tests and such transfer is made a certainty.
former Globe Trotter Entertained
In the curtain raiser preceding the Kansas-Nebraska contest at Lincoln Saturday night, the Lincoln army air base won in easy fashion over the base from Grand Island. Not so much the game itself, but rather the antics of Taggert, a former Harlem Globe Trotter, and now a soldier at the Lincoln A.A.B., entertained bystanders, which included the Kansas track and basketball squads.
The gangly Negro, his hands drooping to his ankles, amused everyone with such stunts as bouncing the ball on a rival's head and catching it on the other side on his way to the basket. On one occasion he lazily stopped, laid the ball on the floor, and casually tied his shoe; when an opponent dived for the ball, the lanky colored fellow scooped it up and was on his way. Another incident that won the crowd's laughs came when he thrust the ball into a rival's outstretched arms, only to snatch it back again before the puzzled adversary knew what was going on.

BOB BETTY HOPE·HUTTON in "Let's Face It"
In the Phi Pi-Sbeta encounter last night which the Phi Pi's win 28 to 20. Leuhring took top scoring honors, with 13 counters, hitting all five of his free throws. He was given support by Pyle who hit for seven points, and Atkinson, Chestnut, Carl, and Fritz, all of whom netted one field goal apiece.
Phi Psi's Beat Beta's
Neither the Phi Psi's nor the Phi Delf's have lost a game this season. The latter team, the "B" League winners, seems to have the advantage on manpower and can boast a better balanced five. However, the "A" League titlists have in their big post man, Pyle, and in their scrappy little forward, Leuhring, two of the outstanding players in intramural play.
Coming through according to form, the respective intramural league winners, the Phi Psi's and the Phi Delt's, won their semi-final games last night from the runner-up teams and will meet at 7 tonight for the championship in Robinson gymnasium. The Beta's and Phi Gam's, last night's losers, will tangle at 8 in the consolation contest.
The half time score was 16 to 13,
Phi Psi.
Beta scorers were Roderick with seven, Mowery with six, Johnson with four, and Chase and Sifers with a free throw each.

Phi Psi to Play Phi Delt Tonight
The Fiji's, with more height than any of the four finalists, just couldn't hit the bucket and at halftime had scored only one field goal and two charity tosses while the Phi Delt's had piled up 13 counters.
Although the Phi Gam's no doubt were off on their basket shooting, the stout Phi Delt defense must be given much credit for the Fiji's were unable to work the ball in for effective shots. Should the Phi Delt's be able to stop Pyle's under-the-basket power tonight, and keep Leuhring from breaking away for set ups, the offensive power of Scott and Corder should be able to carry the "B" League winners home to victory.
Corder led the scoring for the victors with eight points, Scott was close behind with six, Hedrick and Harris aiding the cause with four each. Huebert, high scorer during the season, was held to one basket.
The loss prevented the Phi Gam's from repeating as intramural basketball champions, an honor they had captured the last three consecutive years.
