KU AST's Face K-State AST's Tomorrow Night
A real cage battle will be staged in Heech auditorium tomorrow night when two strong army clubs representing the ASTP units at Kansas and Kansas State hit it off beginning at 7.30. The admission price is 25 cents to all.
It will be the first meeting for the two teams, both of which have been compiling envious records. The Staters have twice defeated Ft. Riley CRTC and will play the cavalrymen again this Sunday.
Fritz Knorr, a K-State grad, tutors the Manhattan soldiers and has several former college stars in his lineup. John Bortka and Joe Ridgeway, starters, both played with the K-State varsity last year. The three starters include Jack Vaughn, Lafayette, Ind., Frank O'Hara, Bronx, Y., and Gerrit Wierda, Saginaw, Mich.
The latter three were outstanding with their respective high school teams. Reserves include George Schultz, ex-Oklahoma Aggie frosh, Jim Mortan, California, Steusser, and Kohl.
K. U. Will Be Tough
The K.U. soldiers have not played a very extensive schedule to date, but will nevertheless be tough to beat. Ted Bean, former Valparaiso University star, paces the Lindley ball attack, with little Tracy Stephenson, Champaign, Ill., setting the plays up from in front. John Collins, Eldon, Mo, Bob Evans, Kalphom, Pa., and Kenneth Rumble all are capable performers. This team averages better than 6 foot one in height. Reserves include Ed Moreland, Geo. Babcock, Morton Kamen, Lee McManus, Mark Miller, and Robert VanCitters.
Coach Jack Austin, who was a former cage star at Emporia State, has a very fine rebounding outfit in his KU. ASTP's. In practice against the varsity last night in which both teams took the ball on offense for 10 plays and then switched, the soldiers controlled a majority of the rebounds.
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Today would be a good time to give our prognostication as to how we think the Big Six teams will find themselves sixty days from now when the conference race comes to a close. The Jayhawks, whom Dr. Allen thinks to be no better than third place or less, will in our mind start off with a decisive victory over Missouri. Then the Kansans will look great in trimming Nebraska and Kansas State, but when the Oklahoma Sooners come up here Jan. 21 with blood in their eye, the crimson and blue will snag a snag and go down in defeat by a small margin. However, when the two teams meet in Norman, Feb. 12, Coach Allen will pull something out of the bag and the Sooners will look like just another team in losing to Kansas. Iowa State will defeat both Kansas and Oklahoma on their home court, but will lose to the same two teams away from home. Thus, as these three teams will have no difficulty at all in beating Nebraska, Missouri, and K-State (who will finish in second division in just that order), the conference race will end in a three-way tie. And since play-offs have been discarded in favor of the plan by which the team with the greatest margin between points scored and opponents points is declared champion, who will it be? Kansas, of course$^4$
V-12's Win 50 to 38 Over Ship's Company, Irish Nose Out S.O.W.
V-12 continued their rapid pace last night in downing the Ship's company, 50 to 38 in the second night's play of the newly-organized Lawrence basketball league. In the other game of the evening, the Irish Rascals, a civilian team, nosed out the SOW Techs, 28 to 27 in a slow but even game that was decided by an overtime period.
Of the fifteen players used in the V-12 lineup, Williams, with speed too great for the heavier men of Ship's Company, captured scoring honors with 8 points. Pyle, with 7,
and Lutz, with 6, continued their net swishing to increase the victory. Chief Hantze, with 15 points, and Ens. H. L. Ware, with 8, kept the Ship's Company out of the lower

the Irish men were forced to overcome a half time lead of SOW of 8 points to force the game into an overtime period with a 26 to 26 count. In the play-off, the Rascal's one bucket was sufficient to overshadow a charity toss made by SOW.
