KU-Fort Riley Battle Tonight In Return Game
The Kansas Jayhawks and the Fort Riley Centaurs will fight it out at the fort tonight in a return battle. Kansas won the initial contest here in December when Bill Lindquist split the netting with a last second looper to give Kansas a thrilling 32 to 31 victory. However, the soldiers were without Dick Harp, former K. U. great, in that meeting and Harp, who scored the winning goal against Oklahoma A&M in the 1940 NCAA playoffs, is expected to be in the RTC lineup tonight. Another Jayawkier, rangy Jack Ballard, will also see action for the cavalrymen.
High point man for CRTC is George Wendell, formerly of St. Benedicts. Wendell, a football player, has led the Centaurs to four straight Kansas Service League victories and scored 19 points in CRTC's most recent triumph over Herington A.A.B., 68 to 30. Another griddler, Keith Caywood, Emporia State immortal, will grace the soldier line-up. Shifterdecker and Pattie complete the soldier starting oster.
The soldiers have been forced to o without practice all week as their coach, Sgt. Leo F. Strangle, ex-lebraska high school mentor, has been unable to schedule the practices because of military duties. Strangle took over when Lt. John Moore was made athletic officer.
The Kansas squad will entrain at 1.05 this morning on the Union Pacific and will return at 4 a.m. Tuesday, arriving in time for morning lasses.

A substitute becomes a hero. As only fate would have had it, James Myers, Iowa State sub, took over a starting berth when Bob Sauer, formerly of Washington U., was forced to undergo an appendectomy prior to the Oklahoma game. Myers, who would have otherwise probably warmed the bench, came through with a last minute one-hander that spelled defeat for Oklahoma, 41 to 39.

That's Tough!
Oklahoma's "fighting youngsters," as the Norman school's sports publicist, Harold Keith, incessantly terms them, have suddenly changed their ways. After the Sooners had pulled two one-point victories out of the bag against Kansas and Missouri, Keith let it be known that the Drakemen had that "extra something"—despite their youth and inexperience (Paine and Vaughan?)
—that just wouldn't let them be beat. All the more credit was given since the two triumphs came on the road. It was the freshman "clutch man," Ken Pryor, that had provided the winning margins of victory. Then on the home court the past week the whole situation was reversed. Pryor did come through with tieing counters in each contest—but that wasn't enough. Both the Norman Skyjackets and the Iowa Cyclones came through with last minute winning baskets that brought the Sooner's downfall.
Drake and Keith on Kurland
In a forthcoming issue of the Saturday Evening Post Drake and Keith will tell the world what they think of Oklahoma A&M's Bob Kurland in an article entitled, "Seven Foot Trouble.' Supporting Dr. F. C. Allen's demand for the 12-foot basket, the two Oklahomaans quote considerably from the good doctor's expose on the subject.
Hugh Fullerton, Jr., AP sports writer, recently stated that when Allen has something to say about a thing he believes in he usually has plenty. Referring to six closely typewritten pages Allen had sent him expounding his issue for the raised basket, Fullerton in his "Sports Roundup" brings out the fact that few Allen critics or other wouldbe rule changers have actually seen from experimentation, as has Allen, the innovations they fight against or propose. Fullerton is helping keep Allen's "cause" alive by intermingling with his other sports notes the question of the goal tender. Just the other night he asked his readers if they knew that the original purpose of the backboard was to keep spectators on the balcony from knocking the ball away from the basket rather than for being used to provide bank shots or rebounds. Fullerton counters by adding that "that was before they had players who could reach up and do the same thing."
Pre-All-Big Six Squat
This is our idea of the squad from which "the experts" will choose their all Big Six team at the conference's conclusion next month. Forwards: Barrington, Kansas; Ray Wehde, Iowa State; Pryor, Oklahoma; Artman, Nebraska. Centers: Brookfield, Iowa State; Ramsey, Oklahoma; Moffett, Kansas; and Pippin, Missouri. Guards—Paine, Oklahoma; McSpadden, Kansas; Collins, Missouri; Oulman, Iowa State; and Gish and Cooley, K-State.
Allen Was Right!
As Dr. Allen predicted they would, the Iowa State Cyclones now appear to have a clear path toward annexing the Big Six crown. Menze's boys are four or five points better on their home court and by clearing the Oklahoma obstacle at Norman they have made good their biggest test. But only after the Sooners had fought back from a seven-point handicap going into the final stages to tie it up with a minute refraining.
Pre-All-Big Six Squad
The same Nebraska team which Kansas virtually annihilated extended the Missouri Tigers, seven point winners over KU., into an overtime period Saturday night before the boys from Mizzou finally won out, 36 to 32. Missouri and Kansas are tied for third and will fight it out here Feb. 26.
Huskers Surprise!

Whew!
As if Long Island's 99 to 68 victory over Rhode Island State Saturday night wasn't bad enough, the undefeated Iowa five had to go plaster it to hapless Chicago, 103 to 31. We wonder what President Hutchins thinks of that. His "go rest when the exercise urge hits you" theory must have even permeated the basketball team.

One Navy team won and another lost in their games with civilian teams in the twin bill of Lawrence basketball league play Friday night. The Machinist's Mates, led by Shea with 14 points, defeated the S.O.W. Ads, 37-30 in the first game of the evening, while the Ship's Company fell before the Irish Rascals, 33-29.
In downing the Ads., who were paced by Hoke with 14 points, the MM's were forced to overcome an 18-16 lead held by the S.O.W. quartet at the half. As only four Ad. players were present for the game, the teams played with four men instead of the usual five.
The Ship's Company, with a total of six players for the game, and one of them, Chief Hantze, severely handicapped with an injured ankle, also suffered from lack of men in their defeat by the Irish Rascals. The Navy team, led by Ware with 17 points, were ahead 17 to 6 at the half, but were unable to hold the advantage. Buck, with eight points, led the Irish Rascals.

Entomologist Visits Campus In. Search of Old Books
Miss Hoover believed that the reason might have been because so many men were home on furlough, and that a special inspection for several of the Navy men cut their liberty time. She does not know what the plans are for continuing the class.
pamphlets of entomology that are now out of print, John D. Sherman, Jr., of Mount Vernon, Va., visited the University's entomological department Friday and Saturday. With his wife, Mr. Sherman is en route to California, and in his trip across the county stops at various entomological centers and institutions. Besides being a publisher of entomological books, Mr. Sherman is the only person in this country to specialize in the buying and selling of used entomology books.
