Beat Aggies Near Fight Features The Jayhawk Victory
Stillwater, Feb. 18, (Special) — Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers and Henry Iba's Oklahoma Aggies again battled it out last night at Stillwater with no holds barred in a game featured by a near-brawl, and when the two teams left the court the Jayhawkers held their second victory over the Oklahoma's, this time by a 47 to 43 margin.
The near-fight occurred when the Aggies' towering defensive ace, Jack Herron, and little Sparky McSpadden of the Kansas squad exchanged heated words. As Herron drew back his fist to strike McSpadden, Buescher, second smallest man on the Kansas team stepped between them and demanded: "Why don't you pick on somebody your size?" Spectators Leave Seats
The Jayhawks led throughout most of the fast, rough contest with the exception of one short period in the second half when the home team pulled out into a five point lead. Johnny Buescher, Jayhawk quarterback, was the standout, turning in a brilliant demonstration of ballhandling, and at the same time copping scoring honors for the game with 13 points.
Substitutes arose from their benches, and some of the spectators left their seats. However, officials succeeded in quelling the threatened riot.
In addition to outscoring the defensive-minded Aggies, the Kansas squad achieved the doubtful honor of outdoing the Iba-men in their own game, personal fouls, being charged with 17 as compared to 15 for the home team in the rough game. Top scorers for the Aggie team were Bennett and Steinmeir, each of them tallying nine points.
In addition to Buescher, sophomore Otto Schnellbacher and big Ray Evans found the basket with regularity for the Jayhawks.
Quoted following the game as stating that there was no intention on the part of this University to discontinue athletic relations with the Stillwater institution, Coach Allen declared today: "After all, that question is being settled for us by the services, who are calling up reserves at a rate that we could not expect to continue with the sport next year."
The box score follows:

Australia Grants Privileges
Canberra, (INS)—Australia today accorded the United States tariff privileges under its most-favored foreign nation agreement.
Committee Approves Kilday Draft Bill
Washington (INS)—By vote of 23 to 2, the House military affairs committee approved today the Kilday bill to place married men with children at the bottom of the draft list and to order selective service quotas on a state wide basis.
This action came after 33 senators joined in an agreement to halt the draft of farm workers while 27 senators agreed to sponsor a measure directing that the army furlough until January 1, 1944, all farmer soldiers who are now in the United States. The Kilday bill, submitted by Representative Kilday (D-Tex), signifies that draft registrants will be taken in the order of single men, single men with "collateral dependents," married men without children, and finally married men with children.
CIO Union Endorses Pay-As-You-Go Plan
Washington. (INS)—Warning that many workers are not going to have money enough to pay their taxes this year, the CIO Monday endorsed the principal of pay-as-you-go and collection at the source, but opposed the Ruml plan on the ground that it discriminates in favor of wealthy individuals.
The Union's position was outlined by Philip Murray, its president in a statement read to the House ways and means committee by Nathan Cowan, legislative representative of the organization.
Declaring that workers have been caught in a spiral of rising prices, Murray said:
Swarthout Replaces Ehrlich As Teacher Of Cello Playing
"They are not able, many of them, to meet their new tax obligations in a single payment on March 15, or even in three or four installments. They ask that their tax obligation be spread out over the year in a manner such that they may make a small payment out of each pay check and in that way the payment is made each time they receive their pay checks."
Dean D. M. Swarthout will replace John Ehrlich as cello teacher in the School of Fine Arts. Ehrlich left this week for the Army.
Dean Swarthout was in charge of cello instruction at the University from 1923 to 1935. He studied under Louis Amato, second chair celloist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and under Julius Klengel, concert master of the famous Gewandhaus orchestra at Leipzig. Dean Swarthout went to Germany as a cello major, and passed the examinations for the Royal Conservatory entrance on cello.
