Lengthy Trips Banned For KU Basketball Team
Because the University has decided that its basketball team shall make no lengthy trips this winter, such action is not to be taken as a sign that the team will not see lots of action, according to Coach Forrest C. Allen.
In cooperation with the Office of Defense Transportation, Dr. Allen has turned down bids from Milwaukee, Denver, and Oklahoma City for intersectional games, with the former having offered the Jayhawks a place on a double-header bill the nights of December 31 and January 1 against Wisconsin and Marquette
Since the Big Six conference has decided to have only single round robin competition because of the rule permitting naval trainees to be away from home base not longer than 48 hours, many have wondered how the Kansans could give their cagers the competition necessary to maintain a championship team. Service Teams Competition
Service Teams Competition
Service teams are the answer to that, however, as already several games tentatively have been scheduled with army camps, navy bases, and other military outfits throughout the state.
"In fact," Dr. Allen replies, "we are planning more pre-Christmas games this year than in any other time in history. The reason for this is that the large number of candidates who will be from the V-12 ranks during the early season games will provide a good line on what men will be used in defending Kansas' Big Six championship."
Two lettermen-Harold "Sparky" McSpadden, El Dorado, and George Dick, McLouth—will be back. The latter will not be through with football until the end of November. From the football ranks several good men are expected. Pre-season practice has brought out several likely candidates, including Lindquist, Diehl, Malott, Jacks, Scott, Hedrick, Corder, Brown, Bock, Matthews, and others.
Homecoming Game Planned
A practice game is being planned on Homecoming here Saturday, Nov. 19, against the A-12 — ASTP team. The game probably would be played in the evening after the Missouri football game that afternoon.
Dr. Allen announced recently that he did not see how the present Big Six basketball schedule could remain as is, since Kansas State has entered the picture. "Another meeting of Big Six officials," states Dr.
Officials Question Reece's Eligibility
The eligibility of Don Reece, for three years a letter man and now a graduate student still playing football at Missouri is being questioned by Kansas university officials.
Chauncey Simpson, University of Missouri football coach, contends that Reece was made eligible for football at the University of Missouri by a ruling made by Big Six faculty representatives at their Kansas City meeting last February. The rules states that "any regular student enrolled in twelve or semester, or term hours, or any students assigned to the institution for training as a part of the armed force unit to be eligible for athletic competition."
Karl Klooz, University of Kansas director of athletics, wrote Simpson saying, "I see nowhere in these changes of eligibility that the faculty representatives changed the eligibility requirements of a regularly enrolled student and not a member of the armed forces who has three years of competition."
Mr. Klooz today declined to make any statement on the subject for the Daily Kansan.
Allen, "is necessary before Kansas State, who just recently announced their intention of carrying on the cage sport, can be worked into the conference schedule."
A game with the Iowa Seahawks at Kansas City Feb. 5 is being given much consideration. Great Lakes was formerly scheduled for that evening, but because they have canceled all games with teams outside of the Western Conference (Big Nine), a gap was left open for that night.

Left Last May For Camp
After leaving Mt. Oread last May, they were subjected to the Leavenworth reception center, then sent into basic training, Infantry men with one exception were sent to Camp Roberts, Calif., and the coast artillery men traveled to Camp Wallace, Texas.
Intramurals for civilian houses will begin Nov. 8 with touch football. A meeting for civilian houses to schedule the pairings and play-offs has been set by athletic authorities for Nov. 4 in room 202 Robinson gym.
Charles Fink, student organizer of the civilian intramurals, believes that about 14 organizations will participate in the touch football intramurals.
Successfully completing the 17 weeks of basic training, these soldier Jayhawks were shipped to Grinnell, Iowa, where the STAR qualifications were met and passed.
Most of the V-12's are now in their second round of touch football while PT 7 has defeated PT 5 in the third round. Before this game PT's 5, 7, and 8 were undefeated.

Pat O'Brien - Glenn Ford As the Daredevil Son and Flying Fool of a Father
Last night in A league Pt 3 won over Pt 8, but in the B league the victory was reversed making Pt 8 the probable champion of the B league.
In this seventh and final round of intramural basketball Pt's 1 and 4 in the A league, which have both lost but one game out of six, will play off the championship sometime after they return to the University on Nov. 2.
Because of final examinations this week and the fact that seventday leave will begin tomorrow for the V-12's, most of the intramural games scheduled for this week have been postponed. Tonight, however, Pts 1 and 2 of the B league will play off their game at Hoch.

Her presentation of "Caro Nome or "Dearest Name" from Verdi's "Rigoletto" marked the climax of the evening's program. The applause of the audience brought Mrs. Wilkins back for an encore number, "Lavandera (L longas)." Ushers brought gifts of flowers from her friends to the stage.
The operatic duet sung by Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins later in the program, act one, scene two, from "Ri-goletto" continued the story of "Caro Nome." The duke, disguised again as a poor student, tells Gilda of his love for her. The duet presentation, with Mr. Wilkins as the Duke, and Mrs. Wilkins as Gilda, brought out
The story of the Laughing Song from "Die Fledermaus" (Strauss) was cleverly done by Mrs. Wilkins Also in this group were "The Cloister" (Stravinsky) and "Hushed the Song of the Nightingale" (Gretchaninoff).
Four folk songs—Norwegian, Scottish, and Irish—compromised the second group of selections. "Echo Song," arranged by Thrane, was a favorite of the audience. "O Can Ye Sew Cushions," a Scottish cradle song, and "The Windmill," with words from an old Sussex millpost, both arranged by Taylor, followed. The familiar old Irish air, "The Last Rose of Summer," closed the group. Mrs. Wilkins returned to the stage for an encore number, a Venetian folk song, "In Mezo Al Mar" (Geni Sadero).
Two encores following this group were Olympia's song (the Song of the Mechanical Doll) from "Tales of Hoffman" (Offenbach) and Schubert's "Ave Maria."
"Alleluia" from the motet "Exsultate, Jubilate" (Mozart) was the opening selection on the program. This was followed by the dramatic Mad Scene from "Lucia di Lammermoor" (Donizetti). The latter was very effective, partly due to the skilful accompaniment of Winifred Gallup. Miss Gallup was graduated from the School of Fine Arts in 1941. She has played for Mrs. Wilkins at times since her sophomore year in college.
Everett G. Stith, linotype machinist-operator for the Daily Kansan, is back at work after a week's absence made necessary by a fall from a ladder last Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Stith suffered a slight concussion, cuts on the face, a bruised left wrist, and a bruised right arm.
Including the concert program were two popular operatic duets sung by Mrs. Wilkins, assisted by Mr. Wilkins. The first was Romberg's "Will You Remember" from "May Time," "Song of Love," also by Romberg, from "Blossom Time" closed the program. Mrs. Wilkings sang for four years in Schubert theater enterprises, appearing in the lead of over 700 performances of "Blossom Time" with Mr. Wilkins.
The next Concert Course even will present Artur Rubenstein, pianist, on January 13.
