Kansan Sports Editor
With one eye out for a red whirlwind from the south and the other toward a possible N.C. A.A. Western playoff berth, is cautious Kansas Jayhawker is hard at work in preparation for its all-important conference fracas with Oklahoma's Sooners in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tomorrow night.

Let's Think Before We Boo
(A Kansan Editorial)
Tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium, University basketball fans will learn whether their beloved Jayhawks will win another undisputed Big Six championship or whether they must share the honors for 1941 with the Iowa State Cyclones.
Whatever the outcome, it will be an exciting game, climaxing a season full of close and hard-fought contests. At times, feeling toward the officials and opposing players may run high.
Before this year University basketball crowds have been known throughout the Big Six as probably the best-behaved groups in the conference. However, this season, Jayhawk fans have given vent to their feelings frequently and in a manner which has attracted unfavorable comment from many points in the Big Six and Missouri Valley.
The over-enthusiastic Jayhawk fan might keep two thoughts in mind as he pushes his way toward a seat in the bleachers tomorrow night. Win, lose, or draw, the battle with Oklahoma is only another basketball game, not an event of world-shaking importance. And whatever prominence Dr. F. C. Allen's athletes have brought to the University may be more than counteracted by the criticism which another referee or opponent-baiting demonstration will draw.
Partly cloudy and warmer.
