Much will depend on these two players tonight when Kansas takes the floor against Creighton. Charlie Black started out the season in high scoring style but has slumped con- siderably in his last few games al- though he still maintains an 11.5 average for 11 games. His height will be important in combatting the tall Bluejays. T. P. Hunter will start his first game of the season tonight. He has been coming along rapidly and his ability to score when the points are needed is his greatest forte, especially on sinking free throws. His height will also be a great asset.

walk-away featuring a high lop-sided score.
Psychologically, both teams are due to rebound. In the Jayhawks last engagement they appeared to be a sorry lot. But the Great Lakes defeat did not dampen any of the team's spirit and the basket eye, which was so sadly lacking at Kansas City, has returned to many of the team members.
Coach Eddie Hickey's Creighton outfit should also be in a fighting mood tonight. Saturday night they received their first home defeat and
their first loss to any team in this section. The Oklahoma Aggies were the culprits who lashed the Blue-jays with a tight defense and won easily, 31 to 22. In that game Creighton made only seven field goals as against twenty-two baskets potted in the Great Lakes massacre.
all deadlock which exists in the records of games played between the two schools since 1922. In that year, the first season that Creighton had a basketball team, the Jayhawkers won handily, 29 to 7. In 1926 Kansas again won, this time, 31 to 29.
In that Great Lakes game, in which Creighton undoubtedly displayed her best form of the season, Coach Hickey had his players using a continual fast break with three men under the basket on offense. This same type of offense will be employed tonight by the Nebraskans as they attempt to break the three-
Creighton came through with its first win in 1929 by a score of 44 to 27. The following year saw another Bluejay win, this being the largest margin of victory ever registered in the series, 44 to 20. In 1931 Kansas came back with a 38 to 32 win but the rivalry was tied up once more in 1940 when the Bluejays eked out a 35 to 33 upset
Sophs Decide Big Six Clash
Al Budolfson, high-scoring Cyclone forward, was held by the Kansas defense to 9 points.
A free throw by George Harville, sophomore guard, gave the Iowa State Cyclones a last-minute 44 to 43 victory over a fighting Kansas State quintet last night at Manhattan.
Harville's conversion came after a foul by John Bortka, sophomore Wildcat forward. The lead had previously changed hands three times in the last ten minutes of the contest.

Sophomores figured prominently in last night's Big Six game at Manhattan where the Iowa State Cyclones nosed out Kansas State 44 to 43. The winning point was made when John Bortka, sophomore forward of the Wildcats and formerly of Wyandotte High School, fouled George Harville, sophomore substitute guard of the Cyclones, and the latter converted in the last minutes of play.
Graham Brings New Style of Football to Shockers
Spring football practice, called for about March 15, will give Ralph Graham, new University of Wichita athletic director and head football coach, his first chance to view the 1942 Shocker football material.
His immediate job will be to fit this material into a new style of play for Wichita—the Warner system with variations—replacing the Notre Dame system in use for 12 seasons under former Athletic Director Al Gebert
This means that Graham's basic formation will be the single wing back with an unbalanced line both right and left. He also will use the double wing back formation with slight variations.
The double wing back will be used with an unbalanced line and at times the backfield arrangement will be in the form of a short punt setup. The former El Dorado High School and Kansas State College football, basketball, and tennis sensation, intends to use a shift from the short punt arrangement to a single wing back.
Not a rabid "system" man. Graham says, "After all, any system is pretty good when you have good enough material to play it."
