Jayhawks Want to Meet Gerald Tucker on Court
"We want to play Tucker. We don't know whether he is the best player in the Big Six and we want to find out."
Thus Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen voiced his and his Jayhawk basketball team's view today on the Big Six eligibility altercation over Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma athlete.
Allen stated he had no desire to reopen the case, now that Mike Ahearn, Kansas State director of athletics considered it closed, but added that he had phoned Ahearn asking him to keep the matter open until "certain insinuations about Kansas by the University of Oklahoma*
by the University of Oklahoma athletic authorities were cleared up."
Fhog described as a "weak policy" the conference eligibility committee's "declaring Tucker ineligible under the migrant athlete rule than backing down. By this move," he charged, "the Big Six faculty lost prestige."
"I think it would be a shame to迪cipline him (Tucker) completely because of the Oklahoma administration's failure to keep him in the clear in the situation," Allen said. "Under conference rules it is the obligation of
he member schools to see that their uthetes are eligible."
Co-Champion Cyclones Meet Tigers
"Dr. Davis (Kansas faculty representative) told me that he notified Kraft (Oklahoma's representative) the first day he talked to Ahearn, and the Oklahoma representative volunteered to take a telegraphic poll of the members, so O.U. was amply notified." Allen declared.
In stating Kansas' faculty representative's stand on Tucker's eligibility ruling, "Phog" averred, "Dr W. W. Davis—from the beginning—was only for disbarring Tucker for the first semester because he was playing illegally."
Iowa State College, Big Six conference co-champion and potent threat for this season's crown, has wound up its pre-season campaign, with a record of six victories and no losses. As a result, the Cyclones will be geared high for their conference opener tomorrow night against Missouri at Ames.
Paced by Captain Al Budolfson, all-Big Six forward, and Guard Carol Schneider the Cyclones have been impressive as an offensive team and should figure high in conference standings. Also, Bob Harris, brilliant forward, and Leon Uknes, junior guard and spark-plug of the team, have shown up well in the scoring column. Reserve Strength Strong
Iowa State's reserve strength is considerably stronger than last year's, with able substitutes in "Rub" Mickelson, sophomore guard, and Bob Hayes, forward, who led his teammates in scoring against Dubuque Wednesday night. However, defensively the Cyclones are not up to the same level with last year's squad, even with the fine record already set this season.
The Missouri Tigers, who will also open their conference play at Ames tomorrow night, have a strong team in both offense and defense. With Captain Loren Mills and George Evans leading in the defensive department, the Tigers have a strong point. Also, the Bengals have made considerable improvement in shooting, being paired by Don Harvey, senior forward, and Ed Madeny, sophomore standout. Wildcats at O.U.
The other conference game will be played at Norman with the Sooners entertaining the Kansas State Wildcats. The Wildcats have shown up well in their pre-season non-conference games with a squad consisting of six returning from last year's squad and eleven sophomores.
Sophomore standout in the K-State - Nebraska game Tuesday night was Bruce Holman. Jack Horacek, brilliant forward and leading Wildcat scorer; Dan Howe, letterman center; and Larry Beaumont, regular guard, all have shown up well in non-conference play.
The Wildcats will get a taste of the speedy Sooners tomorrow night who are spark-plugged by 6-foot 4-inch Paul Heap, junior guard, and the diminutive "Ug" Roberts, forward. The Sooners haven't gotten off to as good a start as other conference teams, but they by no means have a weak team and should not be underrated.
The other two conference squads, Nebraska and Kansas, remain idle the rest of this week.

Frosh Have New Coach; Allen Sick
Taking over in the absence of Coach "Mit" Allen, John Pfitsch last night ran the freshmen cagers through their paces. Practice started out with the usual warm-up drills. Pfitsch then explained the importance of knowing the plays thoroughly to the men.
Three teams were chosen and a double elimination tournament was played. Armand Dixon, Stan Hansen, and Kenny Thompson were the stand-out players on the court. Rebounding and passing were emphasized.
Earlier in the season "Mit" Allen stated that he had tried to arrange some games with teams at near-by army posts but due to the war situation Allen said he thought the playing of these games was improbable.
K-State Organizes For Protection In War Emergency
Students at Kansas State College are organizing for protection of the campus in event of any war-time emergency.
Under the direction of Dean L. E.Conrad, chairman of the college defense council, a campus night patrol, and an emergency medical unit will be organized.
Fire-fighting facilities will be augmented and possibly practice alarms and blackouts will be staged. Members of the college R.O.T.C. will patrol the campus at night.
The final round in the University bridge tournament scheduled for last night has been postponed Bob Hodgson, intramural chairman, reported. The tournament will probably be completed the first of next week, Hodgson said.
