UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FOUR MONDAY. JANUARY 17, 1944 KU Wins First Big Six Game From Nebraska The Kansas Jayhawks really looked like a basketball team on the Hoch auditorium floor Saturday night as they trounced the hapless Nebraska Cornhuskers, 51 to 27, for their first Big Six conference win. Displaying the old "Allen magic" for the first time on the home court this season, the Jayhawks finally found their stride. The Allenmen hope to keep "in the groove" as they meet a fighting Kansas State Wildcat outfit here tomorrow night and one of the conference favorites, the Oklahoma Sooners, here Friday night. Doped to win the first and lose the second, the KU. cagers might very well trump in both comparing the crimson and blue's Nebraska performance against the Sooners not too red hot exhibition in downing Missouri only 40 to 30 at Oklahoma City last Saturday night. Cornhuskers Trail at Half The Cornhuskers made a battle of it for the most part of the first half and trailed only 23 to 15 at the half. The Jayhawks came back like a whirlwind and turned the final stanza into a rout, scoring 17 points before the Huskers could count a field basket. Freshman Charley Moffett was high scorer for the game with five field goals and three free throws for a 13 point total. This boosted his conference mark to 27 points in two games, a 13.5 average, to place him near the top. The Huskers started out as if they were really going places, scoring first on an under-the-basket shot by their big center, Buzz Hollins. Could the Huskers have had the service of their regular center, lanky six foot four Don Barry, who was out because of scholastic diculities, he and Holllins might have controlled the boards as the not-too-tall Kansas team gave signs at first that they were going to have trouble in this department. Holllins was high scorer for the losers with eight points. Allenmen Were All Hitting The Jayhawks were certainly one of the warmest shooting teams of the season once they get started. One and two-handers from close in and far out just couldn't miss as all the Allenmen were hitting. Allen's entire squad of 13 saw service, and all but three hit the scoring column as the point-making was well distributed. Barrington, although playing only part of the last half, counted nine points, McSpadden scored eight, Dlinquist five, Sherwood five, Dick three, and Malott, Corder, Frank, and Stucker each two. Palmer, a starter, Diehl, and Turner also performed well, though not scoring. When George Dick shot the Kansans ahead 11 to 10 after 10 minutes had gone by, the Jayhawks were never again headed. With Moffett hitting both one and two handers and Sherwood splitting two for two long ones, Kansas moved away to their half-time lead of eight points. McSpadden Warmed Up After Half After internission Sparky McSpadden, cold in the early moments began popping them in right and left. Don Barrington was dropping them in with that right hand hook that recently counted 28 points for him against K-State at Kansas City. Everyone seemed to be hitting for Kansas. Late in the game Coach Ad Lewandowski sent his whole outfit into the game. A third string guard, little Max Johns, surprised everyone including himself in zipping in three consecutive fielders to boost the Husker score from 19 to 25. It was From the Sidelines By Bob Bock. Kansan Sports Editor Dr. F. C. Allen recently remarked that he was not trying to put Coach Lou Menze and his Iowa State Cyclones on the spot by picking them for the championship as C. E. McBride, Kansas City Star sports editor, might have had one believe. With his own team out of the running (or are they?) , Allen asserted that he would rather have Menge, one of his former pupils, win rather than Oklahoma's Bruce Drake, which is only natural. Allen states that both he and Lt. Jack Gardner, the former Kansas State cage mentor, are strong for Lou Menze, and McBride says he is a bit mystified by Phog's entering Gardner as a Menze admirer. "Mac" states that he has never heard anyone say anything against Menze, and that Louie is such a fine sportsman and coach, that he doesn't see that he needs any support. 宋 启 章 We believe McBride failed to catch the true significance of Allen's tacit remark. The way we would interpret it would be in connection with the following situation. It seems that all the naval cadets with any outstanding athletic abilities are being sent to Iowa State. Just why talented athletes (especially All - American Price Brookfield) should be sent to the Ames school, we can't quite understand. Upon investigation we have found that Brookfield upon his own initiative wrote the University desirous of enrolling here. He was told, of course, that there was nothing they could do, but that he might ask his commanding officer that he be sent here. Doesn't it seem a little strange that Brookfield and other star athletes would be deliberately steered away from Mt. Oread? Incidentally, Lt. Jack Gardner, naval aviation physical education officer in this area, happens to or at least might have some "say" as to where flier athletes should be sent. * * If Gardner DID keep Brookfield from coming to Kansas, our views would be that Jack is just plain jealous of "Phog" Allen. Iowa State had more lettermen than all the other conference schools put to- the first college game in which Johns had ever participated. The officiating of Referees Lance and Hogue was especially good as they always had the game under control. Thirty-two fouls were called—18 on Nebraska and 14 on K.U., with three visitors and one Kansas player, Corder, going out via the foul route. Gardner, once captain of the Southern California five, never could beat Allen as coach at Kansas State. He found that he couldn't explode the Allen myth. But last year, as coach of the Olathe NAS team with a squad of former All-Americans he could, perhaps. He did the first meeting only to be twice trounced by the Jayhawks in return engagements. The master just couldn't be licked. But now, maybe, Gardner at last figured he could "turn the trick" by sending Brookfield to an already strong I-State squad rather than to the green inexperienced Kansas team. 'Phog' Is Chairman Of War Fund Drive gether plus two lettermen from other schools enrolled there in the navy, and really didn't need Brook-field. They would even perhaps be as strong without him as Kansas would be with him. Dr. Forrest C. Allen is the new chairman of the Red Cross War Fund committee, Mr.M.S.Winter, retiring chairman, announced Friday at the annual Red Cross meeting in the Colonial tea room. Dr.Allen will direct the War Fund drive which begins in March. Vicechairman H.G.Barr, an instructor in the School of Religion, presided at the meeting in the absence of the chairman. Mr.Barr was elected a member of the executive committee for the coming year. Committee members are Miss Esther E. Twente, assistant professor of sociology; Miss Kathryn Tissue, assistant professor of home economics; Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of physical education; and Parke H. Woodard, associate professor of physiology. They reported on the activities of their groups. The principal activity of the volunteer special services committee, led by Dr. Ralph I Canuteson, has been the operation of the blood bank. Seaver Becomes Teacher In Madison High School Fredericka Seaver, a graduate in 1938, has been appointed to the high school teaching staff at Madison, Kan., Prof. H. E. Chandler, secretary of the Teachers Appointment Bureau has announced. She will teach social studies and English. The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps was authorized by an act of Congress on May 14, 1942.

SUNDAY—5 Days Pat O'Brien "THE IRON MAJOR" The Mt. Oread team led at the half, 25 to 21, and remained in front until the last six minutes but couldn't hold the pace to repeat last week's victory over the KSC crew. Bean of KU scored 19 points and Vaughn of Kansas State made 14.

BUY U.S. WAR BONDS Despite two Big Six home games with K-State tomorrow night and Oklahoma Friday night, intramural basketball will really have a busy week with a heavy slate of eight games scheduled as follows: Eight Intramural Games This Week Tonight-Phi Psi vs, TKE and SAE vs. Beta. Tuesday—Blanks vs. Phi Gam and Battenfeld vs. Phi Delt Wednesday—DTD vs. Phi Gam; Sigma Nu vs. Phi Delt; TKE vs. Triangle and Beta vs. Carruth. The games Tuesday will be played at 10 p.m. after the varsity game's completion. The best games on tap would appear to be the SAE-Beta, Blanks-Phi Gam and DTD-Phi Gam contests. The Phi Delta, with a star studded quintet, should win both their games handily. They are the "team to beat" in the B league, with the Beta's a not too close second. Top teams in the A league should be the Blanks, Phi Gams, and Phi Psis according to early reports. The infant son of L. C. Cawthrop, former coach at the University of Wichita who was stationed here with the naval training unit until a few months ago, died Friday night. Mr. Cawthrop is now at Hutchinson air base as a chief specialist.
