Ends Big Six Career-convinces Ford that advances in the industrial conversion of farm products are immediately ahead.
Bob Allen senior quarterback played his usual smooth floor game. He engineered the late first half rally that closed Oklahoma's wide margin. His floor leadership in the second period shot Kansas ahead. He along with Kline sparkled on defense. Closing in on Hugh Ford on the post, Allen tangled the towering center's attempted shots regularly at times.
Ford's Plastic Car Made of Farm Goods
Detroit—(UP)—Henry Ford's plastic car may widen the field of agriculture to a point where. Ford believes, all vegetation eventually will be utilized by industry.
The revolutionary use of plastics for the superstructure of an automobile would require, for 1,000,000 cars, at least 170,000 tons of agricultural products and 500,000 tons of synthetic chemicals, Ford said. Materials would include 100,000 bales of cotton, 500,000 bushels of wheat, 700,000 bushels of soybeans and 500,000 bushels of corn.
Upon the success of Ford's new venture hangs many hopes for fulfillment of his "back-to-the-farm" philosophy which for years has expounded the virtues of living close to the soil. If agricultural product outlets can be broadened, Ford reasons, farming will become a more attractive vocation to youths. Ford Convinced

The new car will have a body composed entirely of a plastic fiber with the exception of a tubular welded steel frame. Dies for the body panels have been ordered for road test models.
Half the Weight of Steel
Robert A. Boyer, head of the research laboratory, said the plastic sheets weigh one-half as much as steel of the same size and would absorb a blow 10 times greater than steel without denting. Fenders can be broken but minor collisions which would dent a steel fender leave plastic fenders undamaged. The plastic, unlike steel, does not "take a set," Boyer explained.
Plastic panels also can be impregnated with the proper color at the time they are formed. If this process can be carried out at low cost the panels will not need paint.

JAYHAWKS LOSE —
pulled the Jayhawkers in sight with a pair of quick goals, but the cool Corbin arched three more through the meshes from the side to give the southerners a 25 to 19 halftime margin. Free throws by Buescher, Engleman, Allen, and Kline, and a one handed fielder by Kline accounted for the remainder of the Jayhawker's points.
Sudden Kansas Flurry
Kansas brought the crowd to its feet in the opening minutes of the second half as they brushed by the Sooners in a sudden flurry of point making to knot the count at 26 to 26 with only five minutes gone.
Allie Paine, Bruce Drake's brilliant sophomore guard who held Engleman to seven points for the evening, chipped in a free throw to give the Sooners the lead once again, but Allen canned a towering two-hander from midcourt to give Kansas their final lead of the contest.
Sweep To Victory
Here the tireless Sooners swept into a game winning rally which exploded 10 points in the face of a game-weary Jayhawker, wh ile Kline was adding a free toss and Allen a bucket.
Matt Zollner, substitute forward, touched off the spark with a long two-hander. Corbin followed with his first goal of the second half, and Ford bagged a recovery to run the count to 41 to 35 with only four minutes remaining.
Corbin answered the pleading Kansas crowd with his final fielder of the evening from the corner after Allen's goal.
7 FOR ENGLEMAN—
rose to the heights this season to smash the conference individual scoring record.
In 10 Big Six games as a sophomore, "Rope" maintained a 9.3 average, which was swelled considerably by one big night against the Sooners when he broke loose for 27 points.
As a junior during the regular 1940 playing season, Engleman was just another name on the roster. His record was a mere 37 counters in nine games which added up to a 4.1 average, a far cry from his present deeds. But when his trick knee came around at the end of the season, the former Arkansas City high school ace burned up the N.C.A.A. playoffs by coming through with a
To date, Engleman is the possessor of a fancy 16.3 average in seven non-conference games this season. And as for his Big Six record this year, "need we say more?"
