UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1941
Thinclads, Mermen In Big Shows
Cagers, Hopes Low For Victory Over Huskers
If anything, the Kansas basketball outlook grew more clouded today as the battered Jayhawkers prepared to meet an eager bunch of Nebraska giants in an all-important Big Six tussle in Lincoln Saturday night.
Senior Quarterback Bobby Allen, who suffered a severely bruised right elbow in Tuesday's collision with Kansas State, turned up with little or no improvement today and Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen, expressed the belief that his son would not be able to play at all in the Husker tiff and perhaps not even in the equally important fray with Iowa State in Ames March 3.
The seriousness of the loss may cost the Jayhawkers a certain claim to the title which they can gain by winning two of their final three conference battles, or even a share in the championship, which only one triumph is needed to assure.
Doctor Allen today concurred with Kansas State Coach Jack Gardner in the opinion that his Kansans would be quite lucky to get by the two road games with even a single win.
"When we lose Bobby," Allen said "we lose a good quarterback." "Without him the team's stabilizing influence is gone along with court generalship and ball handling."
In addition to the Allen catastrophe it was learned today that big Jim Arnold, reserve guard, suffered a dislocated fibia bone last night in practice and will be confined to the hospital for an indefinite period.
Allen uses Arnold on occasions to counter opposing height under the basket.
The Cornhuskers, on the other hand, will be in top shape with a full wek's rest following their miraculous last second 43 to 42 victory over O.U. in Norman last Saturday night. N.U. Lineup Unchanged
The Scarlet lineup will undoubtedly present much the same skyscraping array that opened against the Jayhawkers in Lawrence two weeks ago.
Only at the forwards where Jack Thompson, John Fitzgibbons, Leslie Livingston, and Max Young are currently engaged in a great battle for starting berths will there be any doubt as to starters.
"Alpine Al" Randall, six-foot seven-inch pivot, is a certain opener at center with Sid Held and Don Fitz, the Husker's ominous pair of six-foot four-inch guards, at their respective posts.
Buescher To Center
Allen indicated that he would probably start John "The Thin Man" Buescher at the important center post with bespectacled Charlie Walker as another possibility. Another lineup switch which may find sophomore Vance Hall in a starting position at forward also is a strong probability.

To Quarterback?--be making his first appearance in Big Six track competition if he does not go to Lincoln, and may surprise some of the boys with the height of his leaps.
OJOHN BUESCHER
Slated to fill the injured Bobby Allen's usual quarterback slot when Kansas invades the Nebraska coliseum Saturday night, is smooth-working sophomore forward, John Buescher, who's recent play promises big things for next year.
Alph's Climb To First Place Tie; PiKA's Win
Sigma Alpha Epsilon moved into a three-way first place tie in Division I last night with a 42 to 21 win over Carruth Hall. Tied with the Sig Alph's in first place are the Phi Psi's and the Delta Chi's.
At the same time the Sig Alph's rang up their important first place win, Pi Kappa Alpha registered their seventh win in nine starts to climb into a three-way deadlock at second place in Division II with the Beta's and Sigma Chi's. The Pi K. A.'s downed a tough Sigma Phi Epsilon five 19 to 16.
Leading the way in the one-sided Sig Alph victory were Walt Sheridan (continued to nare five)

Track Team To K.C. For Loop Indoor
(continued to page five)
Nebraska may be the whole show as far as team honors are concerned at the annual Big Six indoor track meet Saturday night, but the other conference squads are still sending athletes to compete for the individual championships.
With Missouri expected to clean up what points Nebraska fails to nail, it appears that Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oklahoma will have to fight for the scraps.
Tickets for the Big Six indoor track meet in Kansas City Saturday night, may be purchased at the University athletic office, E. L. Falkenstein, intercollegiate athletics financial secretary, announced today.
Most observers believe that third is the best the Jayhawks can do as a team, but Coach Bill Hargiss thinks he has several performers of high enough caliber to make things interesting in certain events. Sanneman In High Jump
Norman Sanneman may be a darkhorse in the high jump. The ex-Washburn athlete, who has been playing basketball this winter, will
Box seats may be purchased for $1.68; arena balcony seats for $1.12; and seats in the upper balcony for 56 cents. The meet will be held in the Municipal auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.
In Bob Stoland and J. R. Jones, Hargiss has a pair of jumpers who can hold their own with the best Missouri and Nebraska can offer. Stolland won the high jump at the 1939 indoor meet, but did not carry enough hours last year to be eligible to compete. In the past, Stolland has cleared 6 feet 3 3-4 inches, while the best his opponents have done is 6 feet.
Jones, a wiry junior, was the 1940 indoor broad jump champion and is favored to stave off all challengers this year. Sol Schumitsky, of Mis-

Fencers to Meet Kansas City Here
The Kansas City Y.M.C.A. fencing team will duel the Jayhawker swordsmen at 7:15 o'clock tonight in Robinson gymnasium. Kansas City is the only team to defeat Kansas this year.
Saturday night a triangular fencing meet is scheduled with Friends University and the University of Kansas City.
The Jayhawks' next home game will be March 7 with the Oklahoma sooners.
Swimmers Converge On Lincoln
The Jayhawker swimming team leaves tomorrow morning for Lincoln, a decided underdog in the Big Six conference meet to be held Friday and Saturday.
Only one Kansas performer in last year's meet, is back for another try at points this year. Joe Morton placed fifth in the 100-yard free style as Iowa State dominated the field and swept to the title.
Cyclones Face Tough Task
But Iowa State should have a tougher job this weekend, with both Nebraska and Kansas State likely to dethrone the Cyclones. Kansas State finished a poor second in last year's
