Minus ailing Charlie Black, league-leading Kansas will resume Big Six competition in Hoch auditorium Saturday with a shifted lineup against Iowa State's underdog sophomores.
Max Kissell will replace Black, in the hospital indefinitely with a bad case of flu, but not at the high-scoring junior's forward position. Coach Phog Allen has inserted Kissell at center and moved John Buescher from his accustomed spot to forward to increase Kansas scoring and rebounding power.

An old rivalry will be unearthed tonight at 7:30 when the Sigma Chi meets Beta Theta Pi. The Beta's with one defeat, are tied for second place with Delta Chi and will have to win to stay there. Both teams have been defeated by a Delta Chi and Sigma Chi has been defeated by Phi Delta Theta for their losses this season.
Sigma Chi, with mainstay Bud French out of school waiting for an army call, is the underdog. The Beta's will be at full strength and Sigma Chi will have to contend with three scoring threats, Don Diehl, Jim Roderick, and Ranse Bennett. All have hit more than 20 points in games this season.
The ATO-Sig Alph game rates notice as a good contest. Although neither team is at the top in league play, both have smooth, evenly matched club balls. The SAE's who went great guns for the first half against the Beta's last week are given the nod.

At the conclusion of "America" the audience will stand in silence as a tribute to former students who have died in foreign lands in the service of their country.
Versatile Tucker Sparks Oklahoma in Comeback
Norman. Feb. 5—(Special).—Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma's versatile 200-pound basketball center is making progress at his new assignment as a back-line player.
Spectators at Oklahoma's last six games were surprised to see the 6-foot $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ -inch Sooner phenom dribble, pass, screen and sink his long shots competently while stationed in Oklahoma's outside line. Tucker also:
proved he possesses fine speed when he twice stole enemy passes and ran the court dribbling to lay up the ball ahead of all pursuit.
"A basketball team can't win now days using just one attack any more than a baseball pitcher can get by throwing nothing but a fast ball." Coach Bruce Drake answered them. "You've got to have at least two or three offenses ready to go nowadays against a man-for-man defense, and you've got to teach your boys how to crack a zone defense, too.
Many fans who watched Oklahoma lose the 44-48 thriller to Kansas here Jan. 9 wondered why Tucker did not play more at his favorite post spot, under the goal.
"A great basketball center should be more than just a goal-robber or a post man. He should know how to handle the ball smoothly in the back line and hit set shots from there. It would also help if he could fast break."
"Our set stuff with Tucker on the post looks great against the weaker clubs. But it won't always percolate against a strong team. So we sometimes vary our post offense with a fast break and a roll, like the baseball pitcher who mixes a curve or slow ball with his high, hard one.
Fans who watch Oklahoma in action the last of this season will see Tucker play both on the post and back-line.

Creighton Faces Aggies Tonight
Creighton, Kansas' rival for an NCAA playoff berth, is scheduled to give Oklahoma A-M its third defeat in 64 starts in Gallagher fieldhouse at Stillwater tonight in the Bluejays last tough game before playing the Jayhawks at Omaha March 4.
Already defeated by Creighton at Omaha, 33-24, the Cowboys iron defense will have to contend with high scoring Ralph Langer and Ed Beisser. Cowboy height and the A-M home court advantage make Creighton a smaller favorite than it should be.
Decrease in Women
Tenight's game will decide the Missouri Valley championship as Creighton is threatened only by the Aggies. Last year the two teams tied for the title.

Scott Leads Teammates To Victory
Jack Stapleton of the Delt's was in the Phi Delt's hair all evening as he took more than his share of rebounds. Dean Huebert and Walt Quiring each scored nine points for the victors.
A fighting Delta Tau team went down before the scoring of Kirk Scott, Phi Delt, 42-29, last night which leaves the Phi Delt's the only undefended team in either the first or second division. Scott, hard working guard, hit an unusual percentage of his shots, making 17 points, to keep the Phi Delt's out in front all the way.
Bob Stevens, led his Jolliffe half teammates in a big second half that gave tham a 23-19 win over Alpha Kappa Psi. "Rip" Baumunk was the high scorer of the game with nine points. But it was Stevens as floor general and always a scoring threat who sparked the Jolliffe win.
The diminutive Battenfeld boys finally succumbed to the size of Alpha Chi Sigma, 38-31, in a game that saw the score tied 25-all at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Harold Wright piloted his team to victory, at the same time racking up 13 points. Ray Thayer was the outstanding man on the floor as he scored 18 points and although smaller than most of his opponents pulled in most of the rebounds.
Delta Chi drubbed a hapless Triangle team 54-27. This left the Delta
