BLACK ON INDEFINITE LEAVE OF ABSENCE
More complications have arisen for the basketballing Jayhawkers this week. Bill Brill is now in Watkins hospital recovering from a knee injury suffered Monday night and Charlie Black was fired off the squad by Phog Allen Tuesday for "insubordination and lack of interest."
Negotiations for Black's return aren't getting very far yet but it appears that apologies all around might help Charlie. Black likes basketball too much to sit on the sidelines and Kansas would field a weaker quintet with the big junior missing.
Back in 1936 Dr. Allen jerked son Milt from the starting lineup for "pushing Paul Rogers around" the night before a championship game with Nebraska. Just last season Red Ettinger was thumbed out and later reinstated

EVANS FOOTBALL RECAP
While Ray Evans is busy working out his "football muscles" for basketball, all-star jugglers are ranking him with the backs in the country. He has been named on the Associated Press and Kansas City Star Big Six elevens and the Iowa Seahawks considered Evans, along with Paul Saringhaus and Gene Fekete of Ohio State, Bill Saban of Indiana and Bill Daley of Minnesota, the winner, in their most valuable player poll. The Kansas City junior led the nation in pass completions with 101 for 1,113 yards. His passing may have gained sufficient notice to place him on one of the AP's all-American teams to be named Saturday.

FRESHMAN RED LIGHT
Freshmen might as well kill hopes of playing Big Six basketball this season, if past performances of faculty representatives are any indication of the future. Yesterday the Big Ten tabled a motion to allow freshman play. The Big Six, to the disgust of some and the applause of others, is a careful imitator of the Big Ten. So, freshmen should not have high hopes, even though most of them realize they won't be in school in September.

COEDS ARE FAIR CAGERS
The uninitiated who scoff at women's basketball may present themselves for dunking in Potter lake. Tuesday night the Kappa's and Alpha Chi's fought a 20-20 draw that had as intense a player-spectator interest as any varsity or men's intramural game. Perhaps the women don't always play with such tigerish skill but this game hit the jackpot for close finishes.

JABBERWOCK
Lts. T. P. Hunter (marines) and John Pfitsch (army) were visiting this week before transferring to San Diego and Texas respectively. Hunter saved several basketball games for Kansas in his three years here and Pfitsch was a star intramural athlete. . Colorado, Western NCAA finalists and Jayhawker conquerors last season, has eliminated basketball. . The Southeastern conference is discussing a football demise for the duration.
SKYSCRAPER NOTES
Henry Iba has taken 7-foot Bob Kurland on an Eastern tour with the Oklahoma Aggies. Iba uses Kurland as goal tender. The "mezzanine peeping ton" deflects the ball easily. Eastern coaches will probably want to shoot Kurland after a few exhibitions of the balloon barrage. Kurland and the Aggies play in Hooch Jan. 13.

Play Rockhurst Friday
Among those who follow daily Jayhawk cage practices in Robinson gymnasium, there is speculation as to just what players will appear in the starting lineup when Kansas meets Rockhurst in the Kansas City Municipal auditorium tomorrow.
Coach F. C. Allen has conducted a shakeup of his squad since the loss to Gardner Saturday. Not a player has been spared. Purpose is to find a scoring combination that will chalk up a better performance than Saturday's, which was disappointing to cage fans.
Early experiments saw Ray Evans moved to the quarterback post, with John Buescher an excellent long shot, taking his place at guard. Further changes were necessary after Bill Brill, sophomore who had won a regular place on the starting five, wrenched his knee Monday. Buescher is now back at quarterback. Charlie Black is now on the sidelines for "insubordination."
Two sophomores, Armand Dixon and Otto Schnellbacher, are slated to start in the contest with the Hawks. Dixon is a smooth ball-handler and a good defensive player, while Schnellbacher has been developing his scoring.
The rapid improvement of Bob Fitzpatrick, junior letterman, has earned him a starting berth. First replacements for the Jayhawkers will be Jack Ballard, Paul Turner, Max Kissell and John Short.
Will Discuss Athletic Problems
Big Six faculty athletic representatives and athletic directors will meet tomorrow and Saturday in Kansas City in their regular winter meetings.
Among the problems to be discussed are the participation this winter of freshmen in conference basketball contests, and the future of conference football.

Bennett shines in the offensive column and Altman is one of the best defensive men in intramurals.
Delta Tau Delta, an unimpressive team last year, does not rank highly.
The Sig Ep's and Tekes will pair off at 9:30. These teams appear to be evenly matched. Ramblers play Jayhawk Co-op and Templin hall battles Battenfeld hall in the other two encounters of the evening.
