Jayhawks Head For Nebraska Play Tomorrow
Ready to shoot at the Nebraska Cornhuskers tomorrow night the first semblance of a real "working combination" this season, Dr. F. C. Allen and his scarlet-clad Jayhawks will entrain on Lincoln at 7 tonight.
Despite the season's entrance in the home stretch, the Kansas team at no time until now could boast a quintet that had played more than a couple of games together. Never content with his youthful five's performances, Allen, game after game, shifted new players into the starting lineup.
All along Allen fairly well decided on Captain McSpadden, Barrington, Moffett, and of late, Sherwood. But the fifth man has presented a problem. Lindquist, Dick, Stucker, Goehring, Frank, and Diehl all took shots at it, and although they will be along tomorrow night ready to fire into action at any time, it will be lanky Abe Turner, 6-4, former Washington Stater, who will fill out the starting lineup.
Turner Shows Improvement
Turner, showing great improvement as the season progressed, started his first game against Oklahoma, a tough team to start against in any man's book. Although a trifle disappointing in that match, Big Bob had a try at it again at Leavenworth Tuesday; and against the soldiers Turner looked great. Sharing the rebounds with Barrington, who had just about been a "one-man game" as far as rebounding was concerned all season, Turner gave the Kansas team that added height they needed.
height they In turning back the Leavenworth Flyers the Jayhawks for the first time this season resembled the "iron five" of 1943 fame in that the starting quintet took care of all the scoring chores—and fairly well divided it up, too.
Navy Quintets Win From S.O.W., Blanks By Decisive Scores
Showing both power and accuracy the two Navy teams romped over their civilian opponents in Lawrence league play last night in the community building.
Led by Flickinger with 16 points and Sharka with 10 points, the Machinists Mates defeated the S.O.W. Techs. 51-20 in the first game of the evening, Pittman, with 8 points, led the SOW scoring. Score at the half was 35-8, in favor of Navy.
In the second game of the evening three V-12 players, Miller, Pyle, and
The Jayhawks trimmed the Huskers the easiest of any Big Six foe this season when here in January the Allenmen turned back Ad Lewandowski's boys, 51 to 27. After leading only 23 to 15 at the half, the Crimson and Blue literally walked away in the final stanza, rolling up 28 points while holding the Huskers to 15. Nebraska holds fifth place in the conference standings, one notch above the K-State Wildcats, the only team they have defeated this season.
Huskers Will Be Tougher
But the Huskers should be tougher to down in this return match than in the earlier game. The home court advantage should lower the original 24 point margin to 20, as most analysts figure. Then the fact that a newcomer, Al Kirklin, from Northeast Lincoln High, has appeared should be given attention.
Kirlin, who takes over at center in place of "Buzz" Hollins, has proved outstanding on the defense. He, with Hollins, who controlled most of the rebounds in the initial Kansas encounter, should give the Jayhawks all kinds of trouble. Al Artman, Kearney veteran and only Husker letterman, has scored often of late, 18 points against K-State. His basket-shooting is a big reason why the Kansas team can now be ranked not more than 10 to 15 points the better.

Scott, scored 11 points each, and two others, Lutz and Heim, collected 10 each in the V-12's 64-43 victory over the second place Blanks. Bock, with 16 points captured individual scoring honors of the game, but his scoring, combined with the 11 points each of his teammates Smith and Hall, was insufficient to quell the V-12 scoring barrage.
With but 15 members in the squad, the University track team directed by Coach Ray Kanehl, left early this afternoon for Omaha to engage in a triangular meet with Kansas State and Nebraska at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
Weakened Team Goes to Omaha
Illness was expected to keep both Tom Scefield, Big Six outdoor high-jump champion last year, and Harry Johnson, runner, two major point winners from making the trip, and Whyte, too, will be out of the line-up.
Frank Stannard is expected to carry much of the burden of the Jayhawk scoring, by winning the hurdle events, and participating in the relay. Jim Richey, who in winning the quarter-mile and placing second in the 60 behind Missouri's Bussell, one of the conference's outstanding dash men, showed promise as a sprinter.
Just what the nine V-12 and six civilian members of the squad will be able to do is uncertain. The other two teams are weak for lack of military participants; so much so that the two-mile race has been eliminated from the events.
