KU-Nebraska Game Our First Home Big Six
The Kansas Jayhawks and the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be striving for their first conference victory in Hoech auditorium at 7:30 tomorrow night in the first Big Six home game of the season. Both quintets lost their initial encounters, Kansas to Missouri, 28 to 35, and Nebraska to Iowa State, 21 to 56. It will be the second conference contest for both teams.
In the long series between the two clubs, Kansas has won 55, while dropping 29. Since the formation of the Big Six in 1929, Kansas has beaten the Cornhuskers 22 times, while losing only six. The last time the Jayhawks lost to Nebraska was in 1939 when Nebraska triumphed in their first encounter, 48 to 37, only to lose again later in the season, 49 or 46.
Ariman Is Returning Letterman
Artman Is Returning Letterman
Starting forwards for Husker
Coach "Lew" Lewandowski will probably be Alan Artman and Morris Galter. Artman is the only letterman returning to the Nebraska team this year. The rest of the fusser lineup is expected to include Don Barry, 6-foot 4-inch, 200-round center, and Earl Eager and George Lucas, guards.
In the Iowa State battle, the Cornuskers were hopelessly outclassed and trailed 11 to 46 with 12 minutes emaining of the last half, when Price Brookfield was taken out of he Cyclone lineup after racking up 8 points. In the last eight minutes Nebraska matched Iowa State with 10 points apiece, the Iowans using heir second team.
Jworak, Artman, Galter Scored
Forwards scoring for Nebraska were Dworak with one field goal, Artman with one and two, and Galter with one and one. Hollins, who was at center rather than Barry, who didn't play, scored only one field goal. The guards—Eisenhart, Rooney, Nelson, and Tangeman—ook charge of most of the scoring hores, counting 13 points between hem, with each one counting at east one goal.
The Cornhusker's civilian team should be no match for the Jayawaks. But if Kansas doesn't snap

That Lovable Story of a Boy's Devotion to His Horse With Roddy McDowall, Rita Johnson Preston Foster
Says Bruce Drake, following the Sooner's 50 to 40 loss at Stillwater Wednesday night to Oklahoma A & M. "Hank Iba has got the best basketball club this year he was ever had at Stillwater. The return to it this week of Capt. Floyd Burdette, former A.A.U. veteran, has strengthened it wonderfully. It now averages 6 feet 5 inches in height and four years of college in A.A.U. experience per man. A war time college club hasn't any business stepping out on the same court against it."

It's a Good Thing!
From the Sidelines
Maybe it's a good thing Kansas has cancelled all athletic relations with the Ibamen. The Jayhawks have been consistently outrebounded by even comparatively little teams. Why, against the Aggies this year it is probable that the only time they would ever get their hands on the ball would be after an Aggie score. Dr. Allen stated last night that he bet Coach Drake would have welcomed the 12-foot baskets against the rangy Aggies and their giant Kurland, stating that it was Kurland who in the main threw the Sooner offence off by forcing Drake's hot shots, Paine and Pryor, to change their tactics by trying to arch their shots over his tremendous reach. Drake talks as if the old veteran, Burdette, was the biggest fly in his hair. Even with the 12-foot baskets, we believe that the height and experience advantage of A & M would prove too much for the Sooners. Although we are inclined to agree with Allen in his campaign for the raised bucket, we would like to have

out of it and if they continue and with the same type of ball they play against Missouri and Olathe, they might very well be defeated
Dr. F. C. Allen plans to use Barrington and Lindquist at forwards, Moffett at center, and Stucker and McSpadden at guards. Palmer and Diehl should see much action at guards, Corder at center, and Malott and Turner at forward, Moffett, who scored 14 points in the initial Big Six encounter, will probably be shifted to a forward.
seen the Aggies and the Sooners play under such conditions before being thoroughly convinced. We have a notion it would have made little difference in the outcome.
H. E. Morrow quotes Dr. F. C. Allen as stating that he expects a season similar to the 1929 record when he had the poorest season in his 35 years of coaching. That year K.U. was beaten by all Big Six opponents except K-State. Allen doubts if his team can win both Aggie games this year and is far from optimistic about the outcome of the Nebraska game tomorrow night.
They're Not World Beaters!
Poorest Year?
The Olathe Clippers won their 10th consecutive game, the third this week to be played at Olathe, last night when they gained revenge for their only loss this season by dropping the Ft. Leavenworth Flyers, 56 to 37. Howey padded Olathe with 22 points. The Clippers had lost to Leavenworth there in their first game of the season after only two nights practice. Yet, the Clippers aren't near the team Jack Gardner had there last year when he had such stars as Menke, Wesche, and many others. And last year's team was handed several defeats. But Kansas had a different team then, too. We rate Olathe fourth in the state behind Wichita Cossna and Boering and Hutchinson NAS. Oklahoma has three teams that could clean them—the Sooners, the Aggies, and Norman NAS.

In the second game, the Irish rascales blocked a late rally by the S.O.W. Ads to win 27-23. Owens of the Rascales led the scoring with 10 points, while Hoke counted for 8 for the S.O.W. team. Half-time score was 15-8. Rascals.
The Blanks, struggling to offset the V-12 advantage in numbers, held the score to 29-24 until the last four minutes of play, when the navy men forged ahead, splitting the net from all angles. Nelson, coach of the Blanks, counted for 12 points with perfect long shots from near mid-court.
V-12's Defeat Blanks 50-29
Using their height and reserve man-power, the V-12 administered a crushing 50-29 defeat to the Blanks in Lawrence League play last night. Heim and Pyle, towering navy men, led the way to victory with 12 and 10 points respectively, meanwhile holding Bock, former high scorer for the Blanks, to two baskets and a charity toss.

AST Quintet to Play K-State Return Game
The Kansas AST basketball team will play a return game with the Kansas State AST quintet in Manhattan tomorrow night. Last Saturday the Kansas team, coached by Jack Austin had little trouble in defeating the K-State soldiers as their star forward, Ted Bean, was unstoppable. Bean dropped in 10 free throws and seven goals for a 24-point total.
