Sponsored by Ku Ku's, Jay Janes---- Interest High In Tonight's Basketball Rally
Interest in the sendoff rally to be held for the Jayhawk basketball team at the Santa Fe station at 7:30 tonight ran high on the campus today as members of the Ku Kus and Jay James made efforts to bring out one of the largest rallying crowds of the season.
The cagers will leave Lawrence
for two crucial away-from-home games with the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Iowa State Cyclones, currently crowding the Jayhawkers for the top position in the Big Six race.
Although a large crowd of students is expected to make the trip to Lincoln, members of the pep organization feel that a well supported rally may inspire the crippled Kansas team with enough determination and faith to come through two tough games before hostile crowds with flying colors.
Part of the University band will be on hand to add color and noise to the rallying throng, and several

finish its season successfully.
The cagers will arrive in Lincoln tomorrow for the game with the Huskers and will leave there Sunday morning for Ames, where they will brush with the Cyclones Monday evening. The team will return from its crucial road trip Tuesday morning.
