3 Big6 Meets Provide Tests For Track Team
With three track meets in Big Six competition on successive Saturdays ahead, Coach Ray Kanehl is having difficulty figuring entry lists.
difficulty giving. The Jayhawks are scheduled to meet the Missouri Tigers in Columbia Saturday, engage in a triangular meet with Nebraska and Kansas State at Lincoln on Feb. 19, and participate in the annual indoor Big Six meet in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium on February 26.
The Kansas mentor is confronted with the problem of building a track cam out of a lot of raw material, and with only two lettermen in the ot. Tom Scofield, last year's winner of the high jump in the Big Six outdoor competition with a leap of 6 feet four, is figured a sure point winner in all meets, and Frank Stannard, high hurdler who won second place in the tall timber event at the indoor meet last year, are the only veterans.
the only veterans.
Scifid is also something of a broadjumper, and doubles in the 440 particularly as a member of the rea-
ty team. Stannard also competes in the low hurdles and the broad jump.
Juch Freshman Material
Kanehl has a lot of new freshman and sophomore material which may develop as the season comes along, but as yet most of it is untested, or instance Joe Dickey, Kansas City, Mo, has been showing good form in the dashes and broad jump. Charles (Kink Kong) Keller, another Kansas City student, and lettered football tackle, has been tossing the weights around and will probably represent the crimson and blue in these events. Junius Penny, Lawrence, football letterman, is another weight man with a little experience against Big Six rivals.
Others Are Possible Entries
Other men who are possible entries in the coming meets are Whitson Godfrey, Overland Park, distances; Rolland Hamilton, Whitewater, distances; John Hawley, Republican City, Neb. 880 dash; Jeone Heringstad, Bremerton, Wash.;istance; Walter Isaacson, Hiawatha, lashes; Harry Johnson, Lawrence, ashes and jumps; Robert Lillijridge, Hutchinson, sprints and quarter mile; Harvey Morrow, Colorado Springs, pole vault; Bob Oliver, Grand Prairie, Tex. 440 dash; sean Patterson, Leavenworth, hurles; Robert Provert, Greeley, Colo.;istance runs; Jim Richey, Atchison, ashes; Earl Robinson, Auburn, Vash., dashes; William Schell, Whita, distance; William Stewart, Tacoma, Wash., dashes; and David Whyte, Kansas City, Mo., William Yonally, Tonoxieton, and J. K. Burbach, Hebron, Neb., all 880 yard dash candidates.
"I have no idea what we will do",
said. Kanehli. A lot of these new boys look pretty good, but most of them are inexperienced. We will put a team in the field."
Jaw, Teeth and Spine Of Catfish Donated To Dyche Museum
A fossil beaver jaw, horse teeth, and a pectoral spine of a large catfish have been donated to the Dyche museum of vertebrate paleontology by Lester F. Phillis of Canton, Kan. Mr. Phillis collected the specimens in Trego county.
The beaver jaw is the first of its kind to be placed in the museum collection. "It is a valuable addition to the scientific collection used by students in the study vertebrate paleontology." said Dr. Claude W. Hibbard, curator of the Dyche museum of vertebrate paleontology.
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Somebody is slipping down Oklahoma way. Reports are out that the highly touted Ken Pryor, most publicized freshman cager in years, will be transferred to Pittsburgh State Teachers College March 1. Pryor, a member of the Navy V-12 program, will still be around, however, for the Sooner's three remaining Big Six games and the contest with Oklahoma A&M February 19. Late last fall when the grapevine had it that the possibility that the army would allow their ASTP trainees to participate in collegiate basketball was very strong, an influential Oklahoma congressman saw to it that Gerald Tucker was transferred to the AST unit at the Norman school. That was one of the reasons the Jayhawks refused to play a special nonconference pre-season game at Oklahoma City with the Sooners. But now they're letting one of their stars get away from them. Come on, Okahomans, you can't let them pull that on you!
K-Staters Wrecked!
As if the losing of three of the first five since the start of the season wasn't bad enough, Cliff Rock, coach of the Kansas State Wildcat basketball team, received the deciding blow Tuesday when his outstanding scorer, Norville Gish, was lost to the army. Gish, who joined the service ranks with ex-regulars Lou Otto, Bob Schwirtz, and Lee Doyan, scored 21 points in the recent game against Nebraska, the highest individual total of the current Big Six season. The only main-stay left is Freshman Charles Cooley, Cunningham ace, who also may not be able to finish the season. The service-wrecked Aggies lost to Missouri Monday night, 30 to 45, in Gish's last game. The victory put the Tigers in third place ahead of the Kansas Jayhawks. Both teams have lost two games and the Jayhawks must win the return battle here Feb. 26 if they are to wind up in the first division. An Allen-coached five has not finished outside the first three since the Big

A REAL INVESTMENT
Columbia, Mo., Feb. 8—Dale Steffey, veteran high jumper who has turned now to the broad jump and hurdles, and Bill Bangert, who won his letter in the shotput as a freshman last year, will provide just about all of the experience the University of Missouri will be able to muster when the Tigers meet the University of Kansas in a dual meet here Saturday afternoon, Coach Tom Botts said today.
Six conference was formed in 1929. In fact, it was only in 1939 that the Jayhawks finished as low as third.
Bangert, a 230-pound 4-F athlete, attended Berkeley high school in St. Louis County, but had no track competition until he came here last year. He won the Ozark A. A. U. shotput championship at St. Louis last spring with a toss of more than forty-five feet.
Missouri Reports Little Track Material
Paired with Bangert in the shotput is Bill Ekern, M.U. footballer, who has confined his university activity in track to intramural contests until this season. Two track numeral men are on Bott's roster, Eldon Behle of Ferguson, a 2-miler who failed to letter last year, and Larry Willett, formerly of St. Louis McBride high school, who won a numeral two years ago, but who failed to report for track last spring because of a leg injury.
Leland Bussell, freshman football halfback, appears to be the most hopeful Missouri candidate in the short sprints, and probably will have company in Reed Scherer of Mexico and Jimmie Snell of Rocheport as starters in the 60-yard dash. Wallace Hoverer, from Kansas City Northeast, and Bob Busch, from Montgomery City, are the probable
The Delta Gamma's, who won the championship for the organized houses, maintained an early lead, and throughout most of the game it appeared that they would take the tournament. Ruth Payne, Delta Gamma, was hitting the baskets during the first half but was so closely guarded during the second half, she was able to make only one basket. She was high point woman for her team, scoring 11 points. Leeta Marks, Delta Gamma, made nine points.
IWW Wins Overtime From Delta Gamma In Intramural Final
A five minute play-off gave the championship of the women's intramural basketball tournament to the IWW's who pushed ahead and won the game last night from the Delta Gamma's by a score of 31 to 22.
Lavone Jacobson, who played on the IWW team, was high point woman for the whole game, hitting eight field goals and three free throws, making a total of 19 points. Ten fouls were called against the Delta Gamma's, with eight fouls charged to the IWW's.

DG's Are Winners Of Organized Houses
Contrary to the previous report, the Delta Gamma's won the championship for the organized houses in the women's basketball tournament rather than the Chi Omega's. The score was 33 to 30 in favor of the Delta Gamma's after a five minute play-off of the tie at the end of the game.
Until the final game last night with the IWW's, the Delta Gamma's had been undefeated in the tournament. When they played the Theta's their score was 33 to 15. They walked over the Alpha Chi's with a score of 41 to 9, and defeated Corbin hall with a score of 31 to 13. The Gamma Phi's lost to the Delta Gamma's, 19 to 9. In the game against the Chi Omega's the Delta Gamma's came out victorious with 33 points to the 30 points made by their opponents.
Phi Psi's Beat Fijis To Lead League A
The Phi Psi's conquered the Phi Gam's last night, 20 to 14, to take the undisputed lead in the "A" league in the intramural basketball chase. The Phi Gam's are now tied with the Blank's as runners-up, each having one loss. The Blanks will have to defeat the Phi Psi's to wind up in a play-off spot as they lost their game to the Phi Gam's by one point.
In the "B" League the Sig Alph's and the Phi Delt's remain at the top as both still boast a clean slate.
Chestnut, Luring, and Pyle led the Phi Psi attack, each scoring three baskets. High for the Fiji's was Whitenberger, whose seven point total also made him high for the game.
