With the win over Rice Saturday night the University of Kansas Jayhawkers completed their most successful season since 1938. This year 18 games were won out of 22 played. Of the ten conference games played, eight were won to give Kansas a tie with Oklahoma for the title.
These are the four graduating seniors who "Phog" Allen will lose from his 1941-42 Big Six co-champion squad.

After the regular season was finished the Jayhawks defeated Oklahoma Aggies for the second time this year to gain the right to enter the Western division playoffs of the N.C.A.A. In the first game, Kansas was defeated by Colorado 46 to 44 but the next night the Jayhawks came back to trim Rice 55 to 53. Two years ago Rice fell before Kansas 50 to 44.
In winning the Big Six the Jay-hawks set a new offensive scoring record by tallying 521 points in 10 games for a 52.1 points-a-game average. The old record was 46.2 points set by Oklahoma in 1939. For the entire season Kansas averaged 48.09 points a game and allowed their foes 39.46 points.
In Losing Miller the Jayhawks will be minus the ability of one of the greatest athletes that has ever worn a Kansas uniform. While in high school at Chanute Miller was acclaimed as one of the two greatest interscholastic performers in the history of the state. In three years
With the close of the season comes the close of four intercollegiate careers on the basketball court for members of the Kansas squad. These graduating seniors are Ralph Miller, Chanute; Charlie Walker, Hutchinson; Bob Johnson, Kansas City; and T. P. Hunter, Centralia, Ill.
of competition he scored 1,364 points in 69 games for an average of 19.77 points a game. In his senior year he averaged 21.1 points a game.
T. P. Hunter was the most valuable reserve man that Allen had this year. He was never considered a full-time regular although he was the only man on the squad to participate in all 22 games besides the four regulars. Hunter played his most impressive games when inserted into the line-up as a substitute. His most impressive performance of the year was against
He started slowly in basketball this season but led the Kansans in scoring in their last seven conference games. In his last five Big Six tiltes he scored 100 points. His conference record for this year totaled 152 points to lead all scorers. He repeated on the all-conference team this year from his selection two years ago.
Bob Johnson was the victim of many handicaps during his college career. He was slated for his greatest season this year and was fulfilling these predictions when he broke his ankle before the first game of the season. He never regained the form he was showing at this time. He was never spectacular although a good, steady player and valuable in the clutch.
Creighton when he dunked in five field goals. He was the most consistent free-thrower on the squad.
Charlie Walker was slow in startling his college career as he did not report for freshman basketball and joined the squad at mid-term of his sophomore year. Walker's fundamentals were probably the best of any player on the team. He wore glasses while on the court and his only fault was his lack of aggressiveness.
