BY MATT HEUERTZ. GUEST COLUMNIST
The outcome of tonight's basketball game with Oklahoma will decide something besides KU's chances of winning the Big Six basketball championship. It will decide a personal feud between Bruce Drake, Oklahoma coach, and "Phog" Allen. Teams coached by Drake and Allen have won five games from each other. Should Kansas come out on top, it will be the 11th Big Six basketball championship for Allen's teams in the 15 years of the Big Six existence.
One of the "ifs" in the game will be Paul Heap, Sooner guard who was put to bed Wednesday night after complaining of feeling ill. The 6-foot, $ _{4} _{2}-inch $ Heap held Charlie Black to three field goals, without committing a foul in the Jayhawker's 48-44 triumph at Norman last January. A few days earlier Black had established a new Big Six individual scoring record with 33 points against Missouri on the local court.

FANS TO SEE TUCKER
Local fans will finally get to see the hit-and-miss Gerald Tucker in action. In a recent game with the Olathe Naval Clippers, Tucker was held to two free throws in the first half—he fouled out soon after the start of the second half.
Ray Evans, one of the few persons to receive the double recognition as an All-American basketball and football player, probably will be assigned to guard Tucker.
Bob "Manacles" McCurdy, who missed the Sooner's game with the Clippers because of an attack of German measles, has rejoined the Oklahoma squad and may see some action tonight.

IOWA STATE IS DARKHORSE
Iowa State is one of the darkhorses for second place in the Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City tomorrow. Ed Norcross and Paul Darling are Iowa State's chief threats. At the Iowa Collegiate indoor track meet in Des Moines last Saturday, Darling tied for first in the high jump with a 6-foot leap and placed third in the broad jump with 21 feet $ _{5/2} $ inches. Ed Norcross won the broad jump with a leap of 22 feet $ _{8/4} $ inches.
The reason why Coach Allen said that the Kansas players would check in their suits after the K-State game probably is because only five members of the team will be in school when the national invitation tournament at Madison Square Garden begins in March. Those five players are Johnny Buescher, Bill Forsyth, Max Kissell, Harold McSpadden, and Paul Turner.
Farris Leads Sooner Team
Norman, Okla., Feb 26—Kenneth "Crow Hop" Farris, Big Six broad jump champion, will lead an abbreviated University of Oklahoma track squad into Kansas City tomorrow for the second war-time running for the Big Six Indoor meet.
It will be the smallest and most inexperienced team Oklahoma has ever taken to a Big Six indoor carnival. Farris, who won the broad jump last year, and Son Wright, 200-pound hurdler who ran a leg on the Sooner mile relay team, are the only returning members of the Sooner indoor team that attended last year's meet.
Oklahoma will make mild bids for points in the short dash and the low hurdles in Senior Archie Walker provided Walker doesn't rip his notoriously thin leg muscles meanwhile. Walker was out of last year's meet.
Farris himself is facing defeat in his pet event. Maurice Alexander, Missouri's brilliant transfer, recently sailed 23 feet 8 inches in a dual meet against Nebraska, a full foot farther than the skinny Sooner leapfrog has negotiated this year.
George Roberts, Pawnee fullblood middle distance man; Bill Reimers, Tulsa sophomore; Dan Painter, Tulsa sophomore; Charles Heard, Cleveland sophomore; Eugene Baker, Oklahoma Baptist university transfer; and Charles Chancellor, Great Bend, Kans., sophomore are new Sooner performers who will go into the big meet for the first time.

Kansas to Enter Big Six Meet Minus A Runner
Jayhawk hopes for a favorable showing in the Big Six indoor track meet to be held tomorrow night in Municipal auditorium in Kansas City took a turn for the worse today with the announcement by Coach Gwinn Henry that George Rhoades, quarter miler, is ineligible.
Rhoades, who shows great promise in the 440, was one of Henry's best bets for points in the open quarter and was to run on the mile relay. It was discovered yesterday that he was not enrolled in enough hours this semester to fulfill the conference ruling requiring a man to be enrolled in 24 hours for the year to be eligible for competition.
Men making the trip for the Jayhawkers are Schloesser, 60-yard dash, pole vault, and mile relay; Gene Roberts, 60-yard dash; Gene Lea, 60-yard dash, broad jump; Frank Stannard, high and low hurdles; Alan Houghton, pole vault, mile relay; Don Johnson, shot put; Bob Dole, quarter mile, mile relay; Russell Mount, distance runs; Bill Cole, mile relay; and Harry Johnson, broad jump, 60-yard dash.
Upon learning of Rhoades' ineligibility, Henry last night timed Valle Schloesser, the squad's only letterman, on the furlong with the intention of drafting him to complete Kansas' mile relay quartet. Coach Henry has announced a squad of ten men will leave for Kansas City tomorrow morning for the meet. Preliminaries will be held at 2 p.m., with finals beginning at 8 p.m.
