SUIT AWAITS BLACK
The Black situation is improving. Diplomatic notes have been exchanged, as each party realizes the value of the other. Perhaps by Saturday afternoon Black will again be a member of the Kansas squad after abruptly checking in and being checked out by Phog Tuesday night.
The big junior's suit awaits him for practice Saturday. In any event, Charlie will not play against Rockhurst at Kansas City tonight.

TRANSFER HOME GAMES?
Big Six faculty representatives and athletic directors, meeting at Kansas City today and tomorrow, are discussing the conference rule prohibiting removal of home games to large cities such as Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Des Moines, Wichita, St. Louis and Topeka.
Small crowds attended Kansas, K-State, Iowa State games this season. With gas rationing on now, even smaller audiences will witness Big Six games if football is played next season. Schools situated like Kansas here in little Lawrence cannot support a full schedule if home games are played in Memorial stadium.
Nebraska is the only school near a large population—Lincoln. Other conference members require larger crowds than attended games during 1942 to support college athletics. As a wartime measure, transferring some home games to larger cities might pull football through the war.

BEISSER LEADS CREIGHTON
Creighton, Missouri Valley champion and one of the strongest teams in the country last season, still has 6 foot $6\frac{1}{2}$ inch Ed Beisser. The big pivot man will lead the Bluejays in Hoch auditorium Tuesday. Joe Loisel and Ralph Langer, regular forwards return.
Star-playmaker Dick Nolan is now a medicine at Creighton, but he will not play as Creighton does not allow its busy medics to take time off from studies. Creighton meets the Gardner Clippers at Omaha Saturday.

TRAVEL BY PROXY
Perhaps Phog Allen had the right angle when he accused the Big Ten of "political gesturing" when it announced a decreased travel schedule for Big Ten cage squads (Iowa University canceled its game here Dec. 21). About all the effect this policy has is that other schools are traveling to the home courts of Big Ten members instead of vice versa.
"What difference does it make who does the traveling?" Phog might ask. Too, the Big Ten voted Tuesday to allow its grid teams to schedule 10 games, one more than last season.
This doesn't look like scrimping. It adds up to the fact that football is the major sport, jingles the cash register, will be played by the Big Ten while other sports are reduced—a realistic attitude.
Black Will Be Missing
Starting Lineups:
Kansas Fos. Rockhurst
Fitzpatrick F Neilson
Schneillbacher F Martel
Buescher C Costello
Evans G Muckenthaler
Dixon G Kurash
BY BILL PORTER
Kansas will run into height, speed and experience against Rockhurst College in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium tonight minus Charlie Black. Rockhurst Coach Lew Lane has a crew of veterans who average well over six feet and he will throw everything he has against the favored Jayhawks in his opening game.
Two Tall Forwards
Starting at forward will be Rollie Nielson and Paul Martel, both six-footers. Martel is considered an adept ball-handler and an accurate shot, whereas Nielson was in the higher scoring brackets in the Naismith league last season.
Two six foot five inch men have been fighting for the starting center post against Kansas, Jim Costello and Skinny Meyers. Costello, who played end on the Hawk grid eleven, has the edge. He has the necessary height to make him dangerous against the smaller Jayhawks.
Lane Experiments Too
Coach Lane, not to be outdone by Coach F. C. Allen, has done some shifting around of his own. Captain Gene Kurash has been put in a guard position after playing forward last season.
Lane believes that his defensive ability will make him more valuable there. Other guard will be Buzz Muckenthaler, who almost hits the six and one-half foot mark.
The Hawks' first line of reserves includes Ceranech, Johnny Mitchell, and Ed Sayers. Sayers is a former all-city choice from Ward high, and was a member of the Kansas frosh squad last year. Rockhurst went through a two-hour drill on the au-litorium floor yesterday.
Oklahoma Ace
Templin Wins in Late Rush
Paul Heap, a guard on Oklahoma's co-champions last season, is back again for another crack at the Jayhawkers. This 6 foot $4 \frac{1}{2} $ inch senior is slated for all-Big Six rating.

66 Baffle Filter Thrills Smokers
USED IN MEDICO PIPES, CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDERS
New York—The scientific, absorbent filter has contributed mightily to the smoking pleasure of millions of men and women who have switched to Medico Filtered Smoking. Actually, the smoke must travel through 66 "baffles" before reaching the mouth. Flakes and slugs are trapped; and the smoke is whirl-cooled as it winds its way through the filter.
TONIGHT---hand on the clock had passed the 50-second mark. Corder also led Templin in the scoring column with 10 points.

In the last 10 seconds of play a fast-breaking Templin five defeated Battenfeld hall 26-24 in the intramural game of the evening last night.
Bob Corder intercepted a Battenfeld pass, raced down court, stopped and dropped the last two points of the game through the meshes after the second.
For the defeated Battenfeld team Ray Thayer amassed a total of 16 points for high scoring honors, but Charles Crandall was the big show on the floor.
Crandall Controls Rebounds
Crandall, shooting very little never connected for any points but his floor game was outstanding. Controlling rebounds at both baskets and engineering the Battenfeld offense the blond guard was the best
player on the court.
The Beta's found the going easy and coasted to a 38 to 20 victory over Delta Tau Delta.
Rans Bennett, hot rock Beta forward, could not find the range until late in the second half. Despite his late start, Bennett managed to roll up 11 points to lead the Beta's in scoring.
Hoy Baker scored 12 points and was the only thing the Delta Tau's, had to offer. Bill Mowery and Harlan Altman played fine floor games for the Beta's.
