Bengals Hit Town Friday
Just one more game remains on the regular season's schedule for the Jayhawkers and that comes up this Friday night when the Missouri Tigers come to Lawrence for a game that will hold the future of the Kansas team for this vaer.
If the Jayhawks can leap over this final hurdle they will tie the Oklahoma Sooners for the Big Six championship with a record of eight wins and two losses. Chances will be then overwhelming that the Jayhawks will be chosen as the Big Six representative in any further post-season play.
The Missouri team has been experiencing one of its poorest seasons under the tutelage of George Edwards. Only two conference games have been won and a loss Friday night would send them to the cellar of the conference beneath Kansas State.
One of the outstanding additions to the Tiger squad since the Jayhawks played at Columbia this year is Keith Bangert, letterman forward. The other addition is the little whirling forward who tallied 17 points at Lawrence last year, Herbie Gregg.

Biography of Gehrig To Be Released Soon
New York, March 4—(UP)—In a few days there will appear on the shelves of your neighborhood book store a new volume bearing a blue and white jacket and the title, "Lou Gehrig, the Quiet Hero." If you neglect to buy it and read it you will miss something that is clean and fine and brave.
It is not an ordinary sport book. It is not concerned with technicalities, it contains no errors and it doesn't drip with the usual hokum. It is a simple story told by one of the few men who possess the perspective $ ^{ \textcircled{1} }$
who possess the perspective and the talents to tell it in the manner in which it was lived.
A Non-Fictionized Biography
The author is Frank Graham, and that should be recommendation enough. Frank Graham is sports columnist of the New York' Sun, a craftsman who knows his business of writin gand a reporter who never has consciously colored a fact. He knows and loves sports as he knew and loved Lou Gehrig.
Because Graham is the type of man he is, he has given us a memorial worthy of its subject. The book is bare of histronics, of embellishments and of groundless dramatic overtones. The story of Lou Gehrig needed no such fictionizing and Graham realized that.
The Gehrig stoy is familiar and already anecdotes of the big, personable first baseman have been woven into the tapestry of our folk lore. It is the story of an honest and gracious boy who somehow retained his homely virtues in the face of fame and riches and adulation. Baseball Atmosphere Galore
Gehrig, The All-American
It is a book which rises above the limitations of age, sex and the other factors which control popular appeal. It is as much a book for a woman of 25 as for a boy of 10 or a man of 60. That is because the qualities which Gehrig epitomized know no bounds and never grow out of style.
That is the way Graham tells it.
Some of his material you have read
The book is one in which you can hear the cheers in the vast expanse of Yankee Stadium, the sharp ping of a bat on a crisp afternoon, the genial horseplay of teams in spring training camps and the voice of a man who greeted a death sentence by telling his countless friends he was “the luckiest man on the face of this earth.”
before and some of it is new in the present telling. Old or new, it rekindles the spirit of the Gehrig we knew with varying degrees of intimacy—as a boy, as a baseball immortal and as a man for whom we still grieve.
It is a book which takes you into the steamy privacy of the dressing rooms, the dry heat of the pullman cars during the western swings in the summer, the football field at Columbia University and the Yankee Dugout during the grim days when Lou could scarcely bend over yet joked with the players and coaches much the same as always.
A Man Among Men
It is, in brief, a book which is neither mawkish nor pretty yet retains the spiritual delicacy that enabled Gehrig to keep a grin on his face to the end when he knew all the while he was doomed. It is of stuff such as this that great deeds are fostered and friends are made and kept. And it is stuff of which you find all too little in what we know as sport.
Read this book and you'll finish it a better person.

TONIGHT'S SCHEDULE
Newman I gave its most impressive performance in weeks last night as it cinched at least a tie for the Division II crown by trouncing a highly-regarded Sigma Phi Epsilon quintet 39 to 22. The winners led all the way, holding a 21 to 14 margin at halftime.
BY DON KEOWN
Leading the Newman attack was Junius Penny, former Lawrence High flash, who dumped in 13 points. The Club's veteran guard duo, Paul Hardman and Cliff Nordstrom, also had good nights, assisting Penny with the scoring chores and turning to stave off the desperate D.T.D. attack in fine defensive performance.
Alpha Kappa Psi managed to nose out an underdog Delta Tau Delta outfit 24 to 20 in a Division II game. The winners held a narrow 13 to 10 lead at halftime, and managed
Don Widner led the Sig Ep attack with 9 tallies. Also giving the Clubmen trouble was Larry Johnston, a Newman II ace last year. Johnston collected five points for the losers and turned in a fine floor game.

A brilliant performance by Harold Wright, Alpha Chi Sigma ace, went for nought as he and his mates fell before Delta Chi 33 to 28 in the night's hardest fought contest. Wright kept his squad in the game with his fine rebounding and 19 points. Ray Lednicky and Wendell Wenstrand starred for the winners

foul and Beaumont did likewise.
Buescher scored on a set shot from the corner and Black batted in a tip-in. Buescher made the final field goal for Kansas with six minutes to play on a short tip-in. The count now stood at 42 to 22.
The final three free throws for Kansas were counted by Buescher, Evans, and Miller, as substitutes entered the Jayhawker line-up and the scoring slowed down considerably. The Aggies final points came when Dirks made one of three free shots awarded him on Sollenberger's personal foul and Buescher's technical foul. Bill Engelland entered the Wildcat line-up in time to make a field goal and a free throw to complete the scoring.
Betty Jean Hess, Shirley Irwin, and Lo Smith are back this year on Kappa's team, last year's winner. Peggy Davis will probably lead Theta's outstanding squad, while Chi Omega and Pi Phi have good prospects this year.

Ken Harden took scoring honors for the game, collecting four field goals for Alpha Kappa Psi. John Goheen and Carl Bomhlot were the auclei of the Delt's offense.
In a Division VI contest with a playoff berth at stake, the Phi Delta Theta "C" team topped the Phi Kappa Psi "D" squad by a 29 to 14 count. The contest was rough with fouls occurring as frequently as goals.
Jim Jenson, Phi Delt forward, was high-point man for the game with four field goals. Jo Fayne led the Phi Psi scoring.
John Moore Coop forfeited to the Hell Hounds in a Division III game to qualify the Hell Hounds for the playoffs.
