Allen Expects Another Tough Fight Tomorrow
To be or not to be is the question as Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's championship-minded Jayhawk quintet moves against Sid Held and Co. of Nebraska here tomorrow night.
Coach Allen is quite dubious about the outcome however as the Cornhuskers always put up a stiff fight against the Jayhawkers. Last year at Lawrence the Kansans experienced a tough fight before downing the Nebraskans, 44 to 38. This game was just a breather though compared to the tussle at Lincoln where the Jayhawks barely managed to eke out a 55 to 53 victory. A Win Would Move KU Up.
Nebraska always plays a "rough and tumble" game and this in itself allows a big chance for an upset. The Husker triumph over Iowa State earlier this year, 39 to 33,
Arnold Flashes Form On Kodak Cage Team
Setting a hot pace in the Rochester, N.Y. Industrial League is Jim Arnold, letterman forward on last year's campionship team. He now is employed by the Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester and plays with the Eastman team.
In 14 games Arnold has scored 183 points, to average almost 14 points per contest. Demonstrating the type of free throwers Dr. F.C. Allen turns out at K.U., Arnold has converted 37 out of 41 charity tosses.
Starting with Eastman as a bookkeeper last fall, Arnold has worked up to a position where he has complete responsibility for the accounting involving all Eastman outlets in one geographical section, which includes fourteen Eastern states.
proves that the team has definite power.
In view of this fact Allen is considering juggling his lineup to put on the floor tomorrow those players whose attitude apears the best for the game. T. P. Hunter, who has played vastly improved ball of late, will probably not start for he seems to play his best ball when inserted later in the game when the pressure is on.
A win would boost Kansas into a deadlock with the idle Oklahoma Sooners who now top the Big Six basketball race by half a game, whereas a loss would put Nebraska into a third place tie with Iowa State, leaving Kansas in second place a game behind Oklahoma.
On the theory of "stop Held and you stop Nebraska," Kansas downed Nebraska at Lincoln earlier this season 51-32 by limiting the tall Husker to seven points, the least he has scored in a conference game this season and far below his Big Six 11-point per game average.
Nebraska has defeated Iowa State.
the only Big Six school to down the Jayhawks, Kansas State, and Missouri, and has fallen before Kansas, Iowa State, and Kansas State. Against Kansas the Huskers made a real battle of it until the closing minutes of the game when they faded before a Jayhawk basket-barrage.
Although Coach A. J. Lewandoski lost only two lettermen from last year's team, only Held has shown any scoring punch on this year's Husker crew. He ranks fourth in Big Six scoring. 'Other returning lettermen, are John Fitzgibbon, John Thompson, Les Livingston, Hartmann Goetze, and Max Young.
Offensive Power Favors Kansas
Olivine Power Favors Kansas
Nebraska, in its 15 games this season has averaged 36 points per contest to their opponents 42; the Huskers have won five games. Kansas' record shows 10 victories and two defeats. Bright spots in the Jayhawk win column are triumphs over a rushing Creighton team and DeFaul, the class of Chicago.

Allen's team shows overwhelming scoring power over the Huskers. For Kansas' Charlie Black has an 13.8 conference average with Ralph Miller and John Buescher each averaging 10.4 points a game. Besides Held's offensive threat Nebraska has Thompson with a 3.7 game average and Max Young with 3.8, Ken El-
son with 3.2, and Jack Bottorff with 4.0.
Paralleling Kansas sparkling victory over Creighton, Nebraska won its last game from Iowa State; all of which is indicative of the fact that it will be two vastly improved teams that face each other in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night.
