49th Won Conferences
This year both teams won their conferences. Colorado won the Big Seven with 11 wins and one loss. They averaged 55.1 points a game and allowed their foes 38.3 points a game. Leason McCloud was conference scoring champion with 192 points in 12 games for a 16-point average. Bob Doll was second in the conference with 149 points for a 12.4 points-a-game average.
Kansas, on the other hand, tied with Oklahoma for the title of the Big Six conference with eight victories and two defeats. The Jayhawks set a new team scoring record by tallying 521 points in 10 games for a 52.1 points-a-game average. Their opponents were held to 394 points or 39.4 points a game. Ralph Miller led the conference in scoring with 152 points for a 15.2 points-a-game average. Charlie Black was second with 128 points for a 12.8 points-a-game average.
Kansans vs. K. U.
On the Colorado squad which arrived in Kansas City yesterday are five Kansans, three of them making the starting line-up. Both guards played their high school basketball in this state, George Hamburg at Beloit and Bob Kirchner at Topeka. The other Kansan is the star of the team, Leason "Pete" McCloud of Newton.
Anothes Kansan who has made the starting lineup in half of the games this season is Barney Oldham of Hays. He has alternated with tonight's starter, Heath Nuckelos of Pueblo. At center is the recently named All-American, Bob Doll, six-foot five-inch transferred Californian now residing in Boulder.
Colorado has won 16 out of 18 games this season with their only losses being to the AAU Denver Legion team and the Wyoming Cowboy crew at Laramie. Besides their 12 conference engagements the Buffers tangled with their alumni in the opening game of the season and then embarked on a four-game Eastern road tour. Teams defeated were St. Joseph's, St. John's, St. Bonaventure, and Lovola.
Four Jayhawk Losses
Kansas has compiled a winning percentage of .750 since the season started with 16 wins out of 20 games. The four losses were to Iowa State, Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Oklahoma A. and M., and Oklahoma University.
In the preliminary game tonight the Stanford Indians will meet the Rice Owls. The winner of this game will then oppose the Colorado-Kansas winner at 9 o'clock tomorrow night in the finals to determine the representative of the Western Division for the tilt against the Eastern Division winner next Saturday in Kansas City for the NCAA championship of the nation.
Whether the Jayhawkers win or lose tonight they will still have another game on their schedule, that being tomorrow night. If Kansas loses, the game tomorrow night will have no bearing on the western representative but will merely act as a preliminary to the championship game and also close the season for the Jayhawkers.
Five Players and Two Coaches on Colorado Squad from Kansas
Here is the 1942 University of Colorado basketball squad which will tangle with the University of Kansas at nine o'clock tonight in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City in the second of the semi-final games to decide the representative of the Western Division to oppose the Eastern Division winner in the finals at Kansas City next Saturday.

The plays which are being learned
of course, that they continue to show favorably in fall practice.
Scrimmage to be Rugged
Henry and his staff are looking for players to fill the shoes of the men lost in graduation and to the armed forces. Fall practice gives comparatively short time to pick a team as the first eleven.
Weather,Basketball Slow Football Drill
Football practice got off to a slow start this week. Monday the practice field wet, the weather chilly and damp.
Tuesday, many of the men took time off to go to the K.U.- Oklahoma Aggie basketball game in Kansas City.
Spring practice is more strenuous than in the fall, because injuries resulting from scrimmage do not hurt the squad so much. In the fall when a player is injured in practice, it means that he may not be able to play in the games.

Henry Tries "T" Formation Henry is using the "T" formation and most of the backfield practice has consisted of running plays from the "T".
Good weather permitting, scrimage will start this week-end; from then on practice will be intense. The spring practice session lasts six weeks, so the coaches must make the most of their time.
The backfield men are not running the plays hard as yet. The coaches insists that the men get the plays timed right and that they watch their footwork before running the plays from scrimage.
Yesterday and Wednesday, however, there was perfect weather for the players to work out and a full squad was present for practice. Coach Henry divided the squad, having the lineemen practice blocking $ \textcircled{4} $

now are ones which will be used in games next fall. The coaches said the men who show the best in the spring practice are the ones who will see action next year, providing
"Survival of the fittest" will be the motto when scrimmage starts. By a process of elimination, Coach Henry expects to have a varsity eleven pretty well in mind by the time spring practice is over.
