Kansas To End Season With K-State
Buescher Stars As Creighton Defeats Kansas
Only the brilliant play of veteran quarterback John Buescher kept Kansas from being completely routed by Creighton last night in Omaha as the Jayhawkers went down to defeat 56 to 34.
Buescher, the only regular remaining on the squad, tallied 15 points to tie with Creighton's Ralph Langer for high scoring honors.
"Phog" Allen's Big Six champions, playing without the services of four regulars, rallied to score a field goal in the first eleven minutes of the game. However, the reserve Allen-men couldn't be kept down forever. They managed to chalk up 14 points before the half-time gun went off. Buescher was responsible for 7 of those 14 points. At the half-time Creighton led 29 to 14 with Langer and Beisser each scoring 11 points for the Blue Jays.
Langer and Beisser Leave Game
Ralph Langer, forward, and Ed Beisser, center, playing their last college game for Creighton prior to the Madison Square Garden invitation tournament, left the game on fouls in the second half. None of the Kansas players were sent from the game because of too many fouls. The game ended with Creighton victorious 56 to 34.
The game had been billed as a natural until the army took its toll of the Kansas squad. It was played as a "token visit" by the Jayhawkers because of huge advance ticket sales and because, as Creighton Coach Hickey said, "The fans deserve it."

While in Omaha for the game with Creighton, Coach "Phog" Allen dropped in for a friendly yet frank visit with Col. Raymond Briggs of the Seventh Service Command.

BLACK COULD HAVE PLAYED
When the conversation drifted around to the squabble over the eligibility of Charlie Black, "Phog" told the Colonel that he felt like playing Charlie against Oklahoma without asking for his consent. Colonel Briggs jumped out of his chair and said "That's what you ought to have done. I wouldn't have done anything about it." It develops that outside pressure was the main cause for Brigg's refusing to let Charlie play. If "Phog" had kept him about playing Charlie in the game, there wouldn't have any argument.
Furthermore, Allen discovered that, if University officials would have asked for a deferment for members of the basketball team until the end of the season, the army would have been glad to cooperate.

KANSAS ONLY TEAM TO LOSE HEAVILY
Kansas is the only powerhouse basketball team in the jurisdiction of the Seventh Service Command which lost regular players to the army after the basketball season was opened. Oklahoma, Creighton, and Oklahoma A. and M. and other schools in the mid-west have managed to keep their basketball players in school. Kansas could have done the same.

Schnellbacher, Evans, To Play In Final Game
The University of Kansas basketball team will attempt to close its Big Six basketball season with a clean slate by defeating Kansas State tomorrow night when the two teams meet in their last game of the season at 7:30 o'clock in Hoch auditorium.
Ray Evans, Don Blair, Hoyt Baker, Bill Brill, and George Dick all have received permission from army officials at the Reception Center at Fort Leavenworth to play in the game tomorrow night if they wish to do so. Coach "Phog" Allen has made preparations to take the boys over to Fort Leavenworth immediately after the game so that they will arrive at the Reception Center before midnight.
The probable Jayhawker line-up for the game, as announced today by Coach Allen, is as follows: John Buescher, center; Ray Evans, guard; "Sparky" McSpadden, guard; Max Kissell, forward; and Otto Schnellbacher, forward. Schnellbacher doesn't have to report to the army until Tuesday and will play if he arrives in Lawrence from Sublette by game time.
The Kansas State squad will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow afternoon and will be taken to the Union building which will be their headquarters while in town. They will leave immediately after the game for Manhattan.
If the Jayhawkers come out victorious in this final game, and thus have a perfect Big Six record, it will be the third season in which Allen-men have won conference titles with a clean slate. Back in 1923, when Kansas was in the old Missouri Valley Conference, "Phog's" team won 16 games without a loss. The 1936 team, which Allen often refers to as his best all-time team, went through Big Six conference play undefeated.
