Revamped Fives To Take Floor In Return Bout
Two vastly different teams will take the floor in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tonight when the Kansas Jayhawks and the Washburn Iehabods meet in a return game.
The Jayhawks had an easy time of it in the first meeting when they downed the Ichabods, coached by Dee Erickson, at Topeka, 46 to 24 in the first game of the season for the Topekans. Washburn has shown rapid improvement since their first opener, and besides running up a greater score against Rockhurst than the Jayhawks were able to accomplish, they have come within one point of defeating Missouri and gave the powerful Hutchinson NAS quintet a game battle.
Nick Jilley, Guard-Position
Jick Fills Guard Position
Dr. F. C. Allen who has had "fifth-man-itas" all season has finally landed on the old veteran, George Dick. Dick took over the guard position that no one has been able to fill to the doctor's satisfaction this season against Iowa State. Dick, a reserve letterman, played a fine defensive game against the Cylones before fouling out. The other four standbys — Barrington, Moffett, Lindquist, and McSpadden—will make up the Jayhawk startling combination. Moffett, who has spent a week in the hospital before the Iowa State encounter, is now ready to go again. Homer Sherwood and Bob Turner, who turned in fine performances against the Ames school, will undoubtedly see much action tonight.
Starting for Washburn will be Dickey and Wheeler at the forwards, Hagerdorn at center, and Horsley and Becker at guards.
Wayne Hagadorn, towering center, leads the Ichabod scoring with 96 total points scored. Behind him are in order, Horsley, Dickey, former Pacific U. fresh from Oregon, Becker, 200 pound tackle on the football team, and Wheeler. Barrington was High Scorer
In the first meeting between the two teams Barrington led the scoring with 15 points.
Kansans go to Ft. Riley on Feb. 7 or a return engagement with the Ft. Riley Centaurs, another team that has been on the up-grade. Featuring two former K.U. cagers, larp and Ballard, the Cavalrymen recently scored 76 points in smashing down the Topeka A.A.B., a team that the classy Olathe Clippers recently had much trouble in defeating.
Conference play will be resumed on Feb. 12 when the Jayhawks journey to Soonerland to Meet Bruce Drake's conference—leading Sooners. The Oklahomaans take on the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday in a game that very well might
Blanks and Rascals Vie for Second Place
The Blanks and the Irish Rascals the two teams now tied for second place honors in the Lawrence community basketball league, will settle their dispute in the second game of a twin bill in the Community building tonight. The teams have lost one game each, both to the powerful V-12 club, and, although the Irish Rascals permitted the Navy men a much larger margin of victory than did the Blanks, the Blanks met the V-12's in the first game of the season before the V-12's had molded the powerful club that downed the Irish Rascals last week.
Bock, the Blanks' main scorer and individual league leader, will have difficulty in getting his pivot shots past the guarding of Hare, towering Indian center of the Rascals, while Hare's effective overhand shooting promises great trouble for the student five.
Ship's Company vs. S.O.W. Techs
In the first game of the evening the Ship's Company should have no trouble in handling the S.O.W. Techs having downed the S.O.W. Ads, winners over the Techs. in a previous game, by a large margin.
Chief Yeoman George Starkey, manager of the league, has revised the schedule from Feb. 9 on to accommodate changes brought about by the Navy game at Leavenworth last month.

From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
An event that may prove to be of little consequence or may on the other hand be of great significance was Camp Grant's recent action to discontinue all sports competition at the close of the present basketball season. Camp Grant, one of the nation's strongest army teams the past three years, has dropped all forms of varsity athletics, according to Brig. Gen. James E. Baylis, in view of the stepped-up tempo of the Allied offensive all over the world and the consequent increased demand on the time of men in the armed forces. The Camp Grant basketball team, defeated only twice this season, is rated as one of the best in the nation. The camp has completed three seasons of basketball and football, and is now in the third season of basketball and boxing.
Will Others Follow Suit?

Has this camp started a movement that might be followed to the extent of the extinction of war-time athletics? We do not believe so, for the navy has spoken only the best for the valuable training their trainees in the American colleges and universities received by being permitted to compete in varsity athletics—especially basketball and football. It is quite evident that the navy will continue to allow her naval college training detachments to compete in sports.
On the other hand we are inclined to believe that army camps will tend to cut down on athletic competition. Maybe, even, the navy camps, air bases, and pre-flight schools will compete on a more limited scale after the western front is launched in Europe. However, should Germany

Carson to Penn State
fall out of the war by the end of the year as Allied leaders have promised, service camp teams will be going at it stronger than ever. The best solution as we see it at the present moment would be to cut down drastically on varsity sports at the service camps and bases, and rather allow army students (ASTP) at the various schools to compete with the navy trainees. It is at the colleges and universities where varsity sports competition belongs. Many camps and bases, in their attempts to gather in gaudy rosters of former college stars, have seemed to forget that there is a war on.
In a letter to grid coach Henry Shenk, Bob Carson, star backlash on the University eleven last fall before reporting to Northwestern Nov. 1, will be moved to Penn State the first of March. Carson, a marine V-12 trainee, is the only freshman on the Northwestern basketball squad, and the former McPherson youth has seen action in a few of the Big Ten school's games. Northwestern is presently ranked as the top basketball quintet in the nation according to the Dunkel ratings.
Battenfeld Winner Over Beta's in Upset; Blanks, TKE's Forfeit
In the biggest upset of the intramural season Battenfeld took the measure of the Beta's, B League contenders, last night, 24 to 20. The Beta's, who were doped to finish second behind the Phi Dalt's, were paced by B. Johnson whose 13 points were high for the game. Battenfeld never had any one main scoring ace, but rather the residence hall boys all contributed to the victory as
Jones, O'Connel, Widmer, and Ashcra-
craft each accounted for at least two
field goals, while Porter and Neme-
counted a basket apiece.
Although continuing their winning ways, the Phi Gam's, leaders of the A League, had to go all out to drown a fighting Sigma Chi team Monday night. The Fijis emerged victorious, 30 to 25 with their speedy forward, Bill Nef, hitting the netting for 13 points, high for the game. Eisenhower and Patterson gave the victors plenty of trouble, scoring 10 and eight points respectively to pace the Sigma Chi attack.
Dispute Over League Rules
A dispute arose last night when Vernon Hayes, civilian intramural head, and Charles Fink, student intramural manager, interpreted the rules such that a defeat was charged up against both the Blank's and the Teke's for failing to appear for their scheduled game. The situation arose when Warren Spikes, TKE president, called up Bob Nelson, manager of the Blanks, and suggested that the game be played at a late date since several of his players would not have been able to play last night. Nelson agreed and informed his players of the agreement. Neither manager nor players of either team were aware that a defeat was to be charged against them were they not to appear.
Too Late to Round Up Team
Nelson, Blank manager, did happen to be on the scene last night, and was told that his team must make an appearance or a defeat would be marked against them; but he was not given sufficient time to round up his boys.
The Blanks, who lost to the Phi Gam's by only a single point, were A League co-favorites, but this defeat charged against them when they could have easily whipped the opposing team, the Teke's, puts them clear out of the running and left it wide open for the Phi Psi's to capture the runner-up and consequent play-off spot.
