Thinclads Invade M.U. For Duel Saturday
By GABE PARKS
The photographer was busy taking shots of Jayhawk tracksters yesterday afternoon, but between poses, Bill Hargiss' boys were also busy rounding into shape for their indoor meet with Missouri at Columbia Saturday night.
After watching pole vaulters clear bars, broad jumpers hang in mid air, and sprinters swing into stride before the camera. Hargiss expressed satisfaction with the condition of the team. Only Ted Scott,
chunky spinter, and Don Thompson, distance man, will not be in top form. Scott has pulled another muscle in his leg and Thompson has just recovered from a tonsillectomy.
After a strong showing at the University of Illinois relays last week, Missouri has been rated as a contender for the Big Six indoor track crown. The Tigers rolled up one first, two seconds, and four thirds, at the Champaign meet. Measles Shelve Schumitzky
However, Sol Schumitzky, who won the broadjump, will be out of the Kansas meet with the measles. Don Walters, former Paola high
Two other outstanding Tigers are Dick Higgins, pole vaulter, and Elmer Aussieker, shot putter. Higgins cleared 13 feet 6 inches and Aussieker tossed the shot 47 feet $8 \frac{1}{2}$ inches for two third places in the Illinois meet.
sprinter, who was second in the 75 yard dash in Illinois, will be a favorite in the 60-yard event over Darrel Mathes.
The mile relay is another source of Missouri points. Gordon Crosby, Bob Tracy, Walter St. Denis, and Captain Marshall Reeves were second at Illinois.
indoor half mile champ in 1939 and 1940.
Same K.U. Outfit
Kansas will present practically the same lineup that lost to Kansas State. Dick Edwards, Thompson and Clarence Miller will be the milers. Ken Hamilton and Orlando Epp are listed for the 440-yard dash.
Mathes, Scott, and Don Pollom are again the 60-yard dash entries. Both high and low hurdles will be run by Bob Stoland; Ralph Schaake, who is hurdling for the first time this year; and Pollom.
The two mile grind will find Ed-
wards, Miller, and Russell Mount
lining up at the start, Fred Ebberhardt, Thompson, and Al Poznack are the half mile hopefuls. Lovee Saturday, Morning.
Leave Saturday Morning
Scott, Pollom, Epp, and Hamilton will probably run the mile relay in that order.
In the field events, Bill Beven, Johnny Mitchener, and Jim Cordell will pole vault; Stoland and Schaake are the high jumpers; J. R. Jones, Bob Johnson, and Stoland will broadjump; and Larry Finney, W. F. Jack, and Schaake will heave the shot.
The team will leave in cars at 8 o'clock Saturday morning for Columbia.
Hard Battle Seen For Cagers In Columbia
Allen Warns Against M.U. 'Bear' Stories
Kansas' scrappy Jayhawkers, hot on the trail of another Big Six basketball championship, will open play on the second half of their conference schedule Friday night when they meet a potential giant killer in Missouri's Tigers at Columbia.
(continued to page five)
The Allenmen, boasting a current loop record of four wins in five starts to top the standings, will be fighting for their first triumph in three years on the Brewer fieldhouse boards. It will be the last try for three seniors, Bobby Allen, Howard Engleman, and John Kline.
The Bengals, forced to play their opening five league games on the road and bereft of three of their regulars at mid-semester by ineligibility and injury, have flashed a surprising amount of fight and ability to hit the basket, even though their first conference victory in six attempts came only last Monday night. The Tigers downed Jack Gardner's berserk Kansas State Wildcats in Columbia, 30-28.
All Hoocey to Allen
"Missouri is always doubly tough for us or anybody else on their home court," Allen said. "I don't see how anybody could give us any kind of an edge. Those boys haven't been beaten badly in a conference game yet."
Despite the report that Storm will not be at top form because of a sprained ankle suffered in the Aggie contest, it is believed that he will open at center for the Tigers.
Jayhawker coach "Phog" Allen today branded reports drifting from Tigertown concerning the below par conditions of centers Roy Storm and George Constantz and forward Herb Gregg as "just another Tiger story" and warned that he was expecting the toughest battle of the year for his Jayhawkers.
Gregg, the Bengal's five-foot eight-inch scoring mite, who dumped in 17 tallies as M.U. lost to the locals here last month, is also slated to see much action after a two weeks rest. Gregg suffered a recurrence of a high school foot injury when the Ti-

Last Of The Allen Dynasty Bobby's Career Near End
"The last of the Allens" is passing from active competition in the game of basketball. When Bob Allen, University of Kansas center, receives his degree in June, there will be no more members of this colorful family to be seen on the court.
At the turn of the century, the "Allen Brothers" basketball team was prominent in basketball circles around Independence, Mo. From this family team came Dr. F. C. Allen, who followed his playing career up by becoming the foremost basketball coach in the world.
Even as a player Doctor Allen was working into the coaching business. He not only played right guard on the Kansas City Athletic Club team, which won three games from the Buffalo Germans, then recognized as world's champions, but he also managed the team.
An All-Around Great
Two sons have followed the Jayhawk coach on the court. His son, Milton, played the "quarterback" position on the 1935 and 1936 Kansas teams. Bob, Doctor Allen's youngest son, began his varsity play in 1939 and will finish with the close of the current season.
One of the smoothest ball handlers in Jayhawk basketball history, Bob is playing a strong all-around game this year, which seems certain to make him an all-Big Six selection.
Main improvement in Bob's play this year has been his work on rebounds. Although he is only an even six feet tall, the youngest of the Allens has been doing yoman service at taking the ball off the backboard.
Scoring Averages Improve
A regular from the first, Bob has improved as a scorer every year. This winter he ranks second only to Howard Engleman of the Jayhawks in

Big Six scoring, having an average of 10.8 points a game. In non-conference play, he has an 8.4 average.
Last year, the Kansas center's mark in conference games was 7.4, with 6.7 for non-league encounters. This was considerable of an improvement over his sophomore averages of 4.2 and 4.4.
Defense is another strong point with the last of the Allen tribe. Quick on his feet, Bob usually is assigned to cover small, elusive men on the opposing team.
Ball handler, scorer, defensive star, Bob Allen is carrying on in the "Allen style." Jayhawk fans hate the knowledge that March 11 Bob will be playing his last game on the K.U. home floor.
PiKA's Down Betas; Newmans Trample Co-op
By CLINT KANAGA
Playing cool deliberate basketball, Pi Kappa Alpha applied the pressure on the Beta Theta Pi five in the final period, to win a 30 to 23, in an intramural game which was much closer than the score indicates. In other contests last night, Delta Upsilon downed Sigma Nu 32 to 29 and Newman I swamped Jayhawk Co-op 67 to 15.
