Jayhawks Hold Drake's Sooners To 4-Point Win
The Kansas Jayhawks did not get revenge in their battle with the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday night, but in holding the Drakemen to a four-point margin, 35 to 39, the Jayhawks did far better than most experts' forecasted.
In fact, with Don Barrington leading the way, the Allenmen came lose to overtaking the Sooners in the final period as they drew within three points. Barrington was high point man for the night with a rousing 18-point performance.
The first half was calm and plaid compared to the final stanza with the Sooners emerging at half time with a 15 to 9 margin after a period of little shooting and much loose guarding. Both teams exploded in the final half, throwing them in from far and near, with Pryor and Paine leading the scoring for the winners with 11 points each. Contributing to the victory were Landon with five, Ramsey with eight, Vaughan with two, and Grossman with two.
Besides Barrington, only three other Kansans could find the hoop. herwood started out with two straight splitters, but could only and the basket for one more counter ie rest of the night. Goohring drew in a basket and Lindquist accounted for nine points. The latter ad gone in at forward after Moffett, former third high scorer in the conference, had been held to nary point by the close-guarding Allie Iaine. Moffett, although refusing several good opportunities, took only two cracks at the basket.
Again, as in the 24 to 23 Oklahoma victory here in January, the Jayhawks lost the game on free throws. Kansas scored three more field goals than Oklahoma, yet the Sooner's successful conversion of 15 of 17 free throw chances brought victory. On the other hand Kansas could hit only five of 13 hots.
Tournaments Planned By Intramural Board
Plans for a table tennis doubles tournament and a deck tennis tournament were formulated at an inamural board meeting last week, liss Ruth Hoover, adviser of the board, stated.
Four-thirty and 5 o'clock will be the periods for the table tennis games, and the deck tennis games will be played at 7:30 p.m. The swimming meet is postponed indefinitely, because the water in the pool is too shallow.
All managers should come into the intramural office for entrance
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Pittsburg's John Lance has built himself a good reputation as a basketball coach and official in these parts. But in the later department he is fast losing out. Not much was thought of it when he was given the old "raspberry" by the crowds for his "general performance" at the Oklahoma game with K.U. here and at the Iowa State-O.U. game at Norman. Incidentally, in the latter game the home crowd even gave their approval when a member of the visiting team, Price Brookfield, told the fair haired one off in no uncertain terms. The height was reached, however, Saturday night in the Kansas battle with the Sooners at Norman. Even though it seems that Kansas has been dissatisfied with the officiating in many of their games this season (mainly because Lance was often the arbitrator), in this game Dr. F. C. Allen, who had always managed to hold himself in other contests, openly asserted himself that the officifying was so downright lousy. And the Oklahoma crowd was hardly of a different opinion and Lance's questionable decisions even when against the Kansas team were not lacking for booing by the Sooner crowd. To illustrate our point: In the closing minutes when Kansas was drawing near the Oklahomaans, Allie Paine went high into the air to shoot, but tied up, came to the floor (naturally steps); with both teams momentarily stopping play, Paire then threw the ball into the basket with Lance allowing it to count. This fielder definitely broke the Jayhawks back Just to mention a few other incidents a foul was called on Barrington who coming down with a rebound was rammed into by a Sooner Incidentally, Barrington, whom Lance had hoped to get down at Pittsburg, had three fouls called on him in the first seven minutes of play. Goehring, after Referee Hogue had called a tie ball, was charged with a foul when Lance came rushing up from the other end of the court, (definitely not his territory) All this is not to mention the technical foul called against the Kansas bench. We could go ahead and list a few other incidents on Mr. Lance who called 15 of Kansas' 16 fouls, but we won't.
Well. Well
Despite everything else we had still recognized the Hutchinson NAS basketeers a mightly classy outfit. Saturday night they came through and edged out the Oklahoma Aggies 27 to 26, despite a half time deficit of 13 to 20. Pike Gawthrop, former naval instructor here, led Hutchinson with 14 points. "Foothills" Kurland was held to 14 points.

Coeds Get Thrill of Army In WAC Day Exercises
Drilling, military customs, and courtesies, movies, and mental tests were the order of the day when approximately fifty coeds experienced a typical day in the life of a WAC, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Lt. Betty Veach of the Topeka army recruiting office, working in cooperation with Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris, commander of the University army units, his staff, Miss Elizabeth Megiuar, adviser of women, and Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women, planned the day to give girls interested in the WAC's a crossroads view of that life. In the day's program, Lt. Veach was assisted by two other officers, and three enlisted women.
Lt. Col. McMorris started the day off by making a short speech to the women, after which Army mental tests were given in Snow hall. If these tests are still being used when the girls who took them join the WAC's, they will not have to take them again, if they passed this time.
Movies Take Place of First Drill
Movies were shown on infantry drill to take the place of the regular morning drill which had to be cancelled due to bad weather. Another movie "Divide and Conquer" concerning the first stages of the European war from 1939 to 1940 showed the fall of France, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Denmark, and Norway. These movies which have never been released to the public, were made in Hollywood by the signal corps, and are in a series containing the complete story of Hitler's rise from 1932 up to the present day.
After the movies, the women marched to Lindley hall, where they had "mess," a regular WAC meal of baked ham, sweet potatoes, creamed peas with celery, combination salad, milk, bread and butter, and raspberries. During the lunch

the ASTP's came into the "meal hall" for their lunch. Drill At MS Building Later
Marching back in formation to the Military Science building, they were divided into three squads and one platoon. The three enlisted women were drilled and then the three commissioned officers, after the drilling of the women themselves. The Marine drill was demonstrated, and pictures were taken. A lecture on military customs and courtesies was given by Lt. Veach with suggestions and contributions from all the WAC's present. Saluting, officers' social duties upon arriving at a new camp, and the correct time and place to salute the flag were some of the things discussed.
Marching in formation to the Union building, the girls were served cokes and cookies in an informal party from 4 to 6 p.m.
Following this, there was another in the series of movies on the "Battle of Britain" demonstrating the German plan for a pincer movement to annihilate Britain. At the end of the battle for Britain came the battle for London.
