Aggie Opposition For Second Time
Tonight the Jayhawkers play the first of their two-game Oklahoma invasion against the Oklahoma Aggies and hope to break the jinx which Stillwater has held over them in four previous engagements in Gallagher fieldhouse.
After losing to Kansas, 31 to 28, Friday night at Lawrence the Cowboys returned home and were beaten in another close game, 31 to 29, by Creighton. This defeat placed Creighton and the Aggies in a tie for first $ ^{\circledast} $
the Aggies in a tie for first place in the Missouri Valley conference.
The game tonight will have $ \varphi $ possible bearing on determining which team will represent the Fifth district in the N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City. If the Booyboys win and Kansas goes ahead to win the Big Six the Missouri Valley may claim that they are entitled to a
play-off between the two champions of the conferences.
If the Jayhawkers win tonight the Big Six champion is practically assured of the play-off berth, even if it is Oklahoma or Kansas. Oklahoma's chances, however, will rest not only on its game Friday against the Jayhawks but also on their double engagement with the Cowboys March 6 and 12.
Bud Millikan, senior guard, is rated as one of the greatest players ever to perform for Coach Henry Iba. Besides rating all-Missouri interscholastic guard at Maryville, Mo., High School for two years, Millikan gained honorable mention rating in the Missouri Valley last year.

He went to the school, located in the heart of lower Manhattan, in 1934, and had three years remaining on a five-year contract. A clause held that the contract would expire automatically if intercollegiate football were dropped.
Missouri Game Cancelled
Automatically terminated was the contract of Dr. Marvin A. (Mal) Stevens, former Yale coach who had offered to take a sizeable slash in salary to continue the sport at N.Y. U.
Thus the violets ended a sport which they started in 1873 and they joined the University of Chicago as a major school without a pigskin parade. Chicago took similar action after the 1939 season.
The school's athletic council voted yesterday after an argumentive two-hour session to abandon the sport. Reasons were decreased enrollment—N.Y.U. has 35,000 students—and subsequent loss of student fees, poor records in recent years and dwindling gate receipts which caused a $65,000 loss in the last two years.
"The university has been forced to institute a policy of strict economy all along the line and to readjust its general budget in the face of the present emergency," Chancellor Harry W. Chase said.
Along With Chicago
Football Out At N.Y.U. For Next Year
New York, Feb. 25—(UP)— New York University's 69-year record of intercollegiate football competition during which the nation's largest school rose to gridiron glory and then slumped to dull mediocrity—was a thing of cold records and tattered clippings today.
Also canceled were game commitments with Missouri, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Syracuse and Fordham for 1942.
Defending Champs Make Meet Attractive
With defending champions in every running event, and not a one sure of retaining his crown, the 1942 Big Six indoor track and field meet Saturday in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium looms as a thriller.
Heaviest load of the evening will rest on Nebraska's hurdling star, Bill Smutz. Winner of both the high and low hurdle races last year, Smutz has found the competition at a new high this season. Three times this year Smutz has been beaten
Joe Shy, Missouri low hurdler, was the first to take Smutz' measure. Then came Ed Darden, Kansas State ace, to whip the Husker in both the high and low hurdles four days later.
The most colorful figure in recent Big Six track annals, "Red" Littler of Nebraska, may be seriously handicapped Saturday by a muscle sprain. Littler, who has won the 440 the past two years and the 60 yard dash in 1940 as well, has been held out of competition in the Huskers' last two dual meets in an effort to have him in shape for the big meet.
Oklahoma's great middle distance runner, Bill Lyda, appears as likely as any of the defending champions to repeat. Lyda showed he was in great form last Saturday at Lincoln by winning the 440 yard dash, the 880 yard run and taking second in the 60 yard dash. His time of 1.583 in the 880 was a new track record.
Hunt Will Go Soaring
Bespectacled little Bobby Ginn of Nebraska will do the honors in the mile. As Ginn already knows, he is going to have to do some running to keep Al Rues of Kansas State from taking the mile title. In the Husker-Wildcat duel meet, Rues pushed Ginn to a mark of 4:18.4.
The two mile run will put Dick Smethers of Oklahoma up against a tough field of challengers. One will be Rues and another may be Ginn, who likely will pass up the half-mile, which he ran last year, to compete in the longer race.
In the four field events, a defending champion will appear in only one, the pole vault. But that vault-
er, Harold Hunt of Nebraska, may be the outstanding individual in the meet. Fourteen feet will be Hunt's goal, a mark which he has hit outdoors.
Inthe Army Air corps now is Wayne Blue, winner of the shot put last year, while the 1941 champion in the high jump and broad jump, Bob Stoland of Kansas, is working in a defense plant at Lake City, Mo. Stoland graduated last June.
