Phi Psi, Phi Gam Win, Tie for Lead
Jayhawkers Worry Over NU, I-State
Saturday
Kansas State vs. Oklahoma at Norman.
Kansas vs. Nebraska at Lincoln.
Monday
Oklahoma vs. Missouri at Columbia.
Kansas vs. Iowa State at Ames.
Beset by coming army calls, the absence of Charlie Black and contending Oklahoma, the Jayhawk cage squad leaves today for northern games against Nebraska Saturday and Iowa State Monday.
Powerful Oklahoma also plays two games. The Sooners will be heavily favored over second-division Kansas State and Missouri. The Aggies have lost five conference games while Missouri has a two and two record.
Evans Takes Over
Although Black is still in Watkins hospital with pneumonia the Jayhawkers are favored over their road opponents on the strength of Guard Hey Evan's rebounding and Otto Sehnellbacher's basket eye. High-scoring Evans, rated by Coach Phog Allen as supplying 40 per cent of Kansas' defensive rebounding, will have short Husker men opposing him.
Quarterback John "Sad-face" Herscher provided the tonic in Kansas rcmp over Iowa State. The senior center's ball handling and dribbling has become the Jayhawk's most dangerous offensive threat.
Allen Experiments
Coach Allen has been experimenting with Sparky McSpadden, Max Kissell and Hoyt Baker at Black's spot. If McSpadden's short stature
MAX YOUNG SOB HENZELMAN
proves a handicap against the Huskers and Cyclones, Allen will have Kissell or Baker next in line.
John Thompson is Nebraska's leading scorer with an 8.5 Big Six average. Other leaders are Bob Heinzelman, 6.7, and John Bottorf, 5.5. The Huskers are handicapped by lack of height. Center Max Young is reported to be the only cager over six feet.
Sub Torpedoes British Ship
Washington, (INS) - The Navy announced yesterday that a medium sized British merchant vessel had been torpedoed and sunk early in January in the Atlantic off the coast of South America. Survivors have been landed at Miami.
Sophomore Members of the Iron Five
OTTO SCHNELLBACHER - FREIARAD
ARMAND DIXON - GUARD
Otto Schnellbacher and Armand Dixon supply the sophomore spark on a Kansas team that has shown surprising improvement since dismal early-season games against Creighton and the Olathe Clippers. Schnellbacher stands sixth in Big Six scoring with a 10.2 average. Dixon popped in 13 points on his one-hand shot in Kansas' 48-44 upset of Oklahoma at Norman.
Wiley Adds New Tune Oh, Kansas' by Carey To Song Collection
"Oh, Kansas" is the latest addition to Russell L. Wiley's collection of Kansas songs.
Henry L. Carey, well-known Kansas writer and father-in-law of Norman Plummer, ceramist in the department of geology, wrote and published this song which is being played on WIBW's Kansas Round-up program.
Mr. Carey had the tune of this song "running through his head," several years before he had a member of the Dodge City Observatory of Music put it down on sheet music, he explains. "Oh, Kansas" is a ballad which tells of Kansas and its rural life.

Plaque Is Presented To Kansas Governor
A gold plastic plaque mounted in a red plush-lined plastic case which Kansas won for salvaging the most scrap metal per capita of all the states of the union, was presented to Governor Andrew Schopeel last night in behalf of the people of Kansas at a dinner in Topeka given by Byron Grousley, chairman of the scrap drive.
More than 142,000 tons of scrap metal, an average of 164 pounds per person, was gathered by the people of Kansas.
D. A. Dimitry, chief of the salvage section of the War Production board, congratulated Kansas newspapermen on their well-directed and complete drive last fall.
There will be a more intensive drive soon to get every ounce of copper because of the critical shortage of that metal, according to Sam Mitchell, regional director of the salvage campaign.
The campaign was begun last September by a special newspaper committee named to get all available scrap into the nation's scrap pile by November.

The
Rapid Transit

The two teams will play again to see which Division III team gets in the playoffs. The Psi's defeated the Fiji's 33-30 in scheduled play.
Pi K A Bill Atwell scored all of his team's 10 points in the first half while each of the Psi cagers contributed to the 13 points collected in the first half.
In the second half Atwell was held to one fielder while teammate Larry Hickey sifted seven points through the net.
The Psi's displayed teamwork, feeding Gene Olson for 12 points. Clayton Kye and Ellis Nicole turned in good performances for the winners.
Sigma Nu dogged the Phi Gam's all the way in the other crucial game of the evening, but never quite caught McSpadden and company. The Hinshaw boys, Wally and Curtis, of the Eijil's used their angular frames to good advantage as they scored 10 and eight points and edged out the smaller Sigma Nu's at the backboard.
Walt Michaelis and Glenn St. Aubyn held up the scoring for the losers with eight points each.
Kappa Sigma came from behind to edge out Teke by one point, 25-24. The score was 9-7, Kappa Sig at the half but in the second period the Tekes jumped ahead and were leading by four points with three minutes to go. The Kappa Sigs pulled a couple of late goals out of the hat for victory. Lawrence Ochs led the Kappa Sig attack with nine points.
Larry Stream packed all the dynamite as the Sig Ep's routed DU, 45-19. Sig Ep led all the way as Stream racked up 24 points.
