Allen Heightens Game Line-up For O.U. Match
Again shifting his starting lineup for the "seventy-dozenth" time this season, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen hopes he has in his new and more altitudinal combination a match for Bruce Drake's Oklahoma Sooners in tomorrow night's 52nd Kansas-Oklahoma clash at Norman which is already assured a sell-out crowd.
In his revamping process Allen has sent big 6-4 Abe Turner, former Washington Stater, into the starting position in place of the veteran George Dick, who had started the last two games. A good rebounder and basket shooter, Turner had tackled aggressiveness for the most art of the season until of late, when, disgusted with his plight, the anky cager suddenly aroused the old fight. Turner, along with the dependable rebounder, Don Barrington, should be able to take their share off the boards, although getting plenty of competition from Sooner's Ramsey and Vaughan, Ramsey, the tall Oregonian, captured 17 offensive and defensive rounds against Iowa State, despite the Cyclone's Brookfield.
oers Given Slight Edge
The Sooners are given from four to eight points edge by most analysts. The home team is usually given two to four points to start with, especially in the Big Six which in the past has been strictly a homer" league. However, the league's historic road hoodoos has taken an awful walloping this season for, of the 17 games won to date in conference play, eight have been carried off by the visiting aggregation which is believed to be unprecedented in Big Six basketball annals
More than any other game, the Jayhawks are priming for this one. Ever since their 24 to 23 defeat at the hands of the Sooners here Jan. 21, after losing the game only on account of their accuracy at the free throw line, the Jayhawks have thought nothing but revenge. Cage War Between Coaches, Too
Seniors to Pay Dues In Business Office
Beginning today and extending until Feb.25, the business office will receive senior dues, Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the alumni association, has announced.
Seniors who haven't ordered their invitations for graduation exercises must have their orders in before 5 p.m. today if they wish to receive them, Mr. Ellsworth added.
Cage War Between the teams
Not only will this red hot cage war be waged between the two teams, but also between the two coaches. Only one coach in all Allen's 40 years of coaching has stood up to him in games won and lost, and that man is Bruce Drake. Their life-time slate now stands in a dead-lock with each having won seven victories. Tomorrow night's game will propel one or the other ahead.
Predicting dire fate from the favored Sooners with their more experienced ball club. Allen spoke with a gleam in his eye. He knew well that his boys would rather win this one than all the rest and knew that they were going to give their all in accomplishing the task.
Turner's Height Will Help
And the Jayhawk's "all" can be a mighty lot since in holding the Sooner's to 24 points here it was the greatest defensive team the Okla-homans' had met this season. Turner's height and rebound ability should make the Crimson and Blue's defensive stand all the more impregnable.
The Kansas team will leave by train at 9 tonight. Making the trip are Barrington, Lindquist, Dick, Sherwood, Moffett, McSpadden, Goehring, Malott, Turner, and Frank.

He estimated that perhaps 60 per cent of the more than 8,000 Japanese who were killed on Kwajalein died during the air and naval bombardment that preceded the landing.
Furious fighting raged in Russia where one of the bloodiest armored engagements of the war flared on the middle Dneiper front as Nazi tank units attempted to rescue encircled German forces.
