KUTakes No.2 Of Big Six Play From K-State
The Kansas Jayhawks rang up Big Six victory number two last night as they downed a fighting Kansas State Wildcat outfit, 36 to 30. The Jayhawks are now ready to take on the Oklahoma Sooners here Friday night in a crucial conference duel—a victory will keep the Jayhawks in the running whereas a loss will very nearly eliminate them.
With the score tied 16-all at the half, the Jayhawkers came back in the second half under the leadership of Charles Moffett, their high scoring center, to win. To make matters worse for the Allen-coached quintet, it lost two of its starters, forward Don Barrington and Capt. Sparky McSpadden, on fouls in the second half.
The defending champion Jayhawks, however, had more than enough trouble from K-State's young, civilian team. It was a battle all the way with the score tied at the half. The Aggies drew within four points with only a minute remaining.
X. U. Loses Early Lead
The Jayhawks got off to an early lead which didn't last long as the Wildcats tied the score at 5-all at the 4-minute mark. The Jayhawkrs found themselves quickly again, however, and were on the long end of a 13 to 7 count at the mid-mark of the period.
The Wildcats began to get their basket eyes at that point and led by Lee Doyen, guard, were able to pull even by half-time while holding the Jayhawkers to one free throw in the last six minutes of the half.
Wildcats in a Rally
After half-time it was Kansas all the way for about the first seven minutes as Moffett led the Jayhawks to push the score to 27-17.
The Wildcats began gradually to work back, however, with Myron Foveaux, substitute forward, showing the way with a pair of long ones and reduced the Kansas lead to five points with eight minutes left to go.
With about a minute left the score stood 34-30 in favor of the Jayhawkers. The Wildcats had the ball but were missing their shots. Then the Jayhawkers got control and Don Diehl, substitute guard, hipped in a field goal in the last fifteen seconds to give the Jayhawkers their victory margin.

You just can't tell about these teams. Kansas defeats Nebraska 24 points, 51 to 27, and two days later Oklahoma defeats the same team minus two regulars on their own court only 10 points, 45 to 35. Then Oklahoma uses three teams in mapping up Kansas State 33 points, 61 to 28, while the Jayhawks last night had to go all out to down their fight- state rivals only six points, 36 to 30. Dope will mean nothing Friday night; it will be the team that fights the hardest and wants to win the most that will emerge victorious.
Two Games in Two Nights
Two Games in Two Nights Just as soon as they finish their battle here Friday night, the Sooners will have to leave for Manhattan where they take on K-State in a return game Saturday night. These double-header weekends on foreign courts place the visiting team at a disadvantage. Kansas has been fortunate in having their schedule so arranged that they will not have to play conference games on successive nights.
A Live Wire!
Kansas State's youthful mentor Cliff Rock, is not going to let anybody run over him. Last night when Sparky McSpadden scooped in a long bucket just after the half time gun was supposed to go off (it didn't) Rock jumped out like a kangaroo, waving his arms that the goal didn't count. Naturally, it wouldn't have anyway, but Rock saw to it that no one at the scorer's table might think otherwise. Recently in Kansas City, Rock argued heatedly with the officials and Dr. Allen about the latter's wanting to use a leather ball in the last half rather than the rubber one. That's the way the custom had always been on neutral courts—the
top of the conference individual scoring race. Moffett, with 44 points in three games, ranks above Sooners Paine and Ramsey who have 43 and 40 points in three contests. Moffett's average is 14.6 points per game.
Don Barrington, who has been benched since the Missouri encounter, played a whale of a game last night. He was a work horse under both baskets, getting most of the rebounds. Duck also came up with seven points.
Lou Goehring, starting his first game after being on restriction for over a month, turned in a fine performance. Homer Sherwood hit a couple from way out just as he did against Nebraska. McSpadden scored three points, Goehring two, and Diehl two.
Others seeing action for Kansas were Corder, Lindquist, Turner, Palmer, and Stucker.

The three Navy teams are scheduled to play tonight in Lawrence League play, the Ship's Company meeting the Machinist's Mates at 7:30 and the V-12 encountering the S.O.W. Techs in the second game of the evening.
The MM's, weakened by loss of players when the 16th division left, may find hard competition from the Ship's Company, but V-12 should have the upper hand all the way with the S.O.W. team.
The sketches, which will be changed twice a week, will be accompanied by a sketch of the painter.

opposing teams get their choice of ball for each half.
Blow that Whistle Loud, Ref! Dr. Allen says he's seen everything now. Last night Referee Hogue was watching Jayhawk Moffett, who had possession of the ball; all of a sudden let out a little "phoot" on his whistle which was hardly audible. Naturally, play stopped—so the ref had to call something. So he called (after a second's thought) a foul on the K-State defensive man who brushed against Moffett in moving in for the ball.
They may call him "Homo" or "Silent Yokum," but Homer Sherwood, low-built former Ark City Juco, can really hit the long two handed set shots. Just let him get set and he'll swish 'em every time. Against both Nebraska and K-State, Sherwood split the net on his first two long attempts in each game.

Riggs to Discuss Mammal Development
Mr. Riggs spent four years in South America. He conducted two expeditions for the purpose of studying and making collections of fossil mammals there.
South America as a center of mammalian development will be the subject Elmer S. Riggs, honorary curator of vertebrate paleontology at Dyche museum, will discuss before members of Sigma Xi, Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Blake hall.
In South America are seven orders of mammals not found any place else in the world. At the time the fossils were deposited, it is probable that South America was an island continent.
Mr. Riggs will illustrate his lecture with colored slides. The meeting is open to all who are interested.
Discharge Pay Raise Rejected
Washington, (INS) — The house, giving every indication it favored a $300 ceiling on soldier discharge pay, overwhelmingly rejected today a counter-proposal which would have raised the limit to $1,100 by a vote of 113 to 19. The membership defeated a proposal by Representative Toleser (Rep., Mo) which would have kept discharged servicemen on the government payroll at $60 a month for a year or until they had obtained private employment.
