Javhawks Seek A Clear Title
Jayhawks Can Win Crown By Taking Cyclones
With a chance to nail down a clear claim to the Big Six championship, the Jayhawks meet Iowa State in one of the most important games of the season at Ames tomorrow night.
By virtue of last night's win over Nebraska, Kansas is assured of at least a tie for the title, but must defeat either Iowa State or Oklahoma to win an undisputed crown.
However the Cyclones didn't think so. They swept thru Kansas State and Missouri again, and administered a double defeat to Oklahoma to pull back into the race.
Iowa state was considered a favorite to cop the Big Six title early in the season, on the basis of eight consecutive victories against nonference foes in warm-up games. But Kansas interrupted the Cyclone winning streak with a 44-41 victory in Hoch auditorium.
The Iowa State aggregation came back to shellac the cellar-dwelling Missouri Tigers, but promptly dropped a pair of games to Nebraska, which appeared to eliminate them from title consideration.
Coach Louis Menze's starting quintet is considered one of the best balanced teams in the conference. With two lank rebounders and three small speedsters, the Cyclones combine height, swiftness, scoring punch and defensive ability. Gordon Nicholas and Carol Schneider, starting at center and guard, usually control the backboards. Nicholas has been among the leaders in individual scoring all season.
Dale DeKoster, a swarthy guard, was high for the Cyclones in their first game with the Jayhawks with 11 points. Opening at forward posts will be Al Budolphson, who has been scoring demon lately, and Fred Gordon, a defensive ace.
Number 1 relief man is Leon Uknes, a husky sophomore, who earned the praise, of "Phog" Allen for his play against the Jayhawks in January.
Football Drills Begin Tomorrow
Approximately 20 new gridmen will swell the spring football total to 55 candidates when official drills open under the watchful eye of head coach Gwinn Henry tomorrow afternoon at Memorial stadium.
Henry, with assistants Vic Hurt and Harry Lansing and freshman coach Wayne Replogle aiding, has been at work two weeks with a squad of 35 men in light, pre-practice drills.
"Too many boys pay only passing attention to spring football," Henry said, "then wonder why they're not getting to play more when the regular season rolls around."
Henry stressed the fact that all men who have hopes of competing next fall should report for spring football.
Practice next week will consist primarily of conditioning drills with running and ball handling slated to receive the most attention. Light ball-handling maneuvers have been the order during the past two weeks for the sweat-suited squad.

No Action On Conference Commissioner
Kansas City, Mo., March 1.—(Special)—Big Six faculty representatives and athletic directors named no commissioner of Big Six conference athletics here today, but admitted they had given the matter consideration and would take further action when they meet in Lincoln next May.
Nearest the heads came to the commissioner question was the naming of Reeves Peters, Northeast Kansas City high school football coach and present commissioner of conference football officials, as head of the basketball officiating system.
The men voted to allow Big Six teams or individuals to compete in the National Indoor Tennis Championship to be held in Norman, March 11-17.
Actual changes were of minor importance.
Three other innovations concerned basketball, one football.
The directors framed a basketball scouting rule which will allow one man to scout one team in one game during the year, the scout being allowed only four games.
Other basketball secessions featured the lifting of the present rule limiting the home team to 10 men, the clarification of the current playoff ruling, and a more suitable method of drawing up the conference cage schedule.
The rule governing spring football practice received a more unified interpretation. A conference school may now definitely be allowed work on a 36-day practice schedule, irrespective of the number of calendar days.
Bix Six basketball coaches will convene in Kansas City Dec. 6 to draw up the 1942-1943 schedule.
