Creighton Favored In Tonight's Game
"It'll be murder for us," was the comment made by Coach "Phog" Allen yesterday before boarding the train for Omaha where his greatly depleted basketball team will attempt the nigh impossible by trying to upset Creighton tonight.
The two teams met on the local court last December 15 with the Creighton Bluejays defeating the Jayhawkers 38 to 33. At
Jayhawks were inexperienced with Schnellbacher and Evans just fresh off the football field. Buescher is last of Iron Five
While on the eastern trip, teamwork improved and Coach Allen worked up an Iron Five, consisting of Buescher, Black, Dixon, Evans, and Schnellbacher, which won 13 consecutive games. But Johnny Buescher is now the only member of that Iron Five who will play tonight. At the same time Creighton's coach, Eddie Hickey, has available the same seven men he used against Kansas at their last meeting. Those seven men are Langer, Bisser, Gibson, Loisel, Salen, Knowles, and Lally.
The make shift line-up which "Phog" Allen will send in to start the game will probably be Johnny Buescher, "Sparky" McSpadden, Jack Ballard, Paul Turner, and Max Kissell. These five players saw considerable action in the Missouri game Tuesday night. George Dick, Bob Fitzpatrick, and Bill Forsyth are the only other players making the trip.
Dr. Allen had written to Eddie Hickey, Creighton coach, offering either to forfeit the game or to
DR. F.C. ALLEN
bring a patched-up lineup to Omaha, Hickey, however, urged that the game be played "because we owe it to our loyal fans and because Coach Allen will bring a very representative Kansas squad to Omaha despite personnel losses." The Creighton coach added "We don't regard this final game as a romp-in for us, we're expecting a good game."
The Kansas mentor then, consenting to go through with the game, said that he expected a thorough shellacking even though John Buescher. senior center will be in the game.

Wiley Surprised At Quality of Band
"I am surprised at the quality which the new band has already achieved in its first two meetings" was the report today of Russell L. Wiley, concerning his new band which is the result of a merger last week between the University Band and the All-Girl Band.
The spirit of the 80-piece band is better than that of either band a month ago, said Mr. Wiley.
Band practice is held from 7:30 to 8:20 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings in Hoch auditorium. The band is rehearsing numbers for the annual Spring Concert to be given April 12 instead of March 24 as previously scheduled, Wiley said.
K.U. Beats M.U In Extra Period
John Buescher and Max Kissell in an overtime period, kept the University of Kansas' Big Six conference slate clean by sinking a pair of long loop shots to give the Jayhawkers a 47 to 44 victory over Missouri.
Throughout the first half the Tigers kept close on the heels of the Kansas team and trailed at the half by only two points, 22 to 20.
Missouri forged ahead in the first six minutes of the second half and at one time reached a 7-point lead, 36 to 29, which was the widest margin achieved in the game by either team.

Schnellbacher, Buescher, and Kissell then launched a Kansas rally which brought Kansas into the lead 39 to 37 with 7 minutes remaining in the game. Jenkins, Missouri forward then tallied to tie the game, 39-all. Then Schnellbacher scored to put Kansas back into the lead but once again Jenkins scored a field goal to tie the score. Free throws by Buescher and Schnellbacher and a last-minute goal by Missouri's star, tied the score at 43-all to end the game.
In the overtime period Buescher and Kissell sank a pair of field goals for Kansas and Thornton Jenkins sank a free throw for Missouri. The game ended with Kansas on top 47 to 44.
Jenkins of Missouri was high scorer of the game with 16 points. Schnellbacher tied with Austin of Missouri for second place scoring honors with 13 points.

BY MATT HEUERTZ
Although "Phog" Allen says that his team will be "murdered" tonight in Omaha by Creighton, this writer is of the opinion that the veteran Kansas mentor will inspire his boys to such heights that Creighton's Blue Jays will have to battle the whole game if they expect to come out on top.
It is not likely that "Phog" would venture to mar the reputation his Kansas teams have enjoyed by putting a team on the court which wuould be thoroughly outplayed. He could have forfeited the game with a legitimate reason—the loss of two thirds of the personnel of the basketball squad.
KANSAS HAS WON 21 GAMES
The Kansas coach probably believes that the showing which his reserves will display tonight will not in any way damage the prestige which the Kansas team carried throughout the season with its record of 21 victories against five defeats. Only one of those defeats was registered by a college five, namely Creighton.
There is a chance that Kansas will upset Creighton's record of not having been beaten by any college team this season. Their only defeat was at the hands of the powerful Great Lakes aggregation.
EVANS AND SCHNELLBACHER MAY PLAY
The rumor "hounds" are saying that Otto Schnellbacher and Ray Evans will play in the game Saturday night in Hoch auditorium against Kansas State. They have until midnight, Saturday, to report to Fort Leavenworth and thus may get to play in Kansas' last Big Six game.
NCAA WITHOUT VALLEY ENTRY
With Creighton, Missouri Valley basketball champion, and Kansas, the Big Six basketball champion, turning down invitations to play in Kansas City's NCAA tournament, it looks as though tournament officials will have a hard time picking some team from the Missouri Valley for the playoffs. Creighton has accepted an invitation to play in Madison Square Garden in New York at the time of the Kansas City meet.
Warns Of Bombing Reprisals
Washington, (INS) — James E. Landis, Director of Civilian Defense, warns of bombing reprisals by saying, "The enemy wants pictures of burning American cities to show his people."
St. Louis—Wendell Willkie, 1940 Republican presidential candidate has said, "It will profit us little to win the war and lose our souls—and surely American liberty and humanitarianism is of our very soul."
