Hurt Declines To Ask For New Contract
Vic Hurt, for four years line coach and assistant to football Coach Gwinn Henry, further complicated the athletic picture at the University yesterday when he announced that he would not ask the athletic board to renew his contract which expires Jan. 1. Hurt stated that he was taking such action because of the financial instability of the grid sport due largely to depleted attendance and because of its dubious future for the duration of the war.
In a statement issued yesterday, the former Tulsa and SMU grid mentor said: "It is with genuine regret that I have decided to withdraw from the footall picture at the University. But with financial losses incurred this
season because of lessened football crowds occasioned by tire rationing and other war factors, it appears that the coaching staff will (continued to page seven)

Unofficial estimates placed the snowfall at between nine and ten inches. Student opinion estimated it as: "Too deep."
Students fortunate enough to have Saturday classes plowed undaunted through drifts that had not yet been cleared away. Campus emergency forces soon had most of the sidewalks cleared.
Shouts of "Mush, mush on" shattered the morning calm, and one disillusioned plodder was heard to mutter: "White Christmas, bah!" Classes were strangely light yesterday morning.
Busses and cars on the highways were stalled by the drifts. Workers on the way to the Sunflower Ordnance Works found going difficult, if not impossible.

Kansas Trails Throughout Game
BY MILO FARNETI
Kansan Sports Editor
Dec. 6 —Special to the Kansan— A disorganized KU basketball squad handed the Gardner Clippers a 40-29 game in the Municipal auditorium of Kansas City last night to give the service teams an even break for the day. The Missouri Tigers defeated the Iowa Seahawks 7-0 in snowy Ruppert Stadium when Bob Steuber ran 60 yards to a touchdown in the second play of the game.
The Jayhawks got nowhere against the guarding of Grady Lewis and his mates, and the Clippers controlled the rebounds. Each team made 22 fouls. Ray Evans, KU guard, left the game on fouls with 10 minutes left to play in the second half. Otto Schnellbacher, sophomore forward, also fouled out.
Kansas scored only seven field goals as the Clipper defense kept the Jayhawks far out. The defending Big Six champs appeared far off form as Charley Black, Jack Ballard, and John Buescher bombarded the basket with wild long shots.
Gardner went into an early lead, 4 to 0, and remained comfortably ahead throughout the game. Harold Howey, former Iola junior college star, tallied 11 points to lead the scorers. Charley Black, with three field goals and a free throw, and Buescher, with a field goal and five free throws, paced Kansas scoring with seven points each.
