Face Dangerous Bengals Friday
Tigers Tough For Kansas In Columbia
Kansas will go into the game leading the league, with four victories against one defeat, while Missouri in last place, can show only one victory against six defeats. This, however, will not keep the Jayhawks from pointing for the game as though it was a championship affair.
Revenge for two successive defeats at Columbia will goad the University of Kansas basketball team on when the Jayhawks invade the Tigers' lair for their next conference battle. Friday night.
Dr. F. C. Allen's players know that the Tigers will be primed to play their best game of the season. Dope is disregarded when K.U. and M.U. get together.
Tough on Home Boards
Notoriously tough on its home floor, Missouri will shoot the works in an effort to redeem an unsuccessful season by upsetting its ancient rival. Equally fierce should be the play of the Jayhawks, none of the seniors on the team ever having tasted victory at Columbia.
All eyes will be focused on Howard Engleman, All-American Jayhawk forward, Friday night. Engleman was stopped cold for the first time this year as the Jayhawks lost to Oklahoma A. & M. and K.U. supporters are anxious to see if he will bounce back strong.
Engleman was stopped without a field goal by A. & M., collecting only three free throws for his night's work. In conference play "The Houdini of the Hoops" has not been held to less than 15 points yet this season.
Buescher May Start
A shot at a starting position may have been earned by John Buescher, sophomore forward, with his play against A. and M. In that game Buescher began to live up to the expectations of him.
John Kline, big guard, snapped out of his scoring lethargy at Stillwater to lead the Jayhawk scorers with 6 points. It appears that the big boy may be a help to the K.U. offense from now on.
The problem of getting rebounds came to the fore again in the loss to A. & M. The Jayhawks got the ball off the backboard so seldom and were guarded so closely that they had only thirty-three shots during the entire game. Engleman got only six shots.
Shannon Appointed Golf Coach Again
Athletic Director Gwinn Henry has announced that William H. Shannon, associate professor of economics, will coach the golf team again this year.
Shannon succeeded Glenn Oatman last year and piloted the Jayhawk linksmen into a tie for third in the conference.
M.U. Leader . . .
Martin Nash
Leading the Tiger defense when Kansas invades Columbia for an important Big Six game Friday night, will be barrel - chested Martin Nash, captain and guard who has been one bright spot in the drab Missouri picture this year.

Sophomore Will Make Jayhawk Souvenirs

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
WITH OKLAHOMA'S Sooners doing a mid-season fadeout, which their current five-game losing streak seems to indicate, it appears that Iowa State, counted out of the Big Six race a couple of weeks ago by this corner will be Kansas' most dangerous opponent when the clubs begin their surge down the conference stretch next month. . . . Staggered in early season play by two defeats at the hands of Nebraska and one by the Jayhawkers, the Cyclones looked hopelessly lost in the flag scramble with six more contests, including two with O. U. and one with Kansas, yet to play.
LITTLE LOUIE Menze had different ideas, apparently . . . For the Northerners have bounced back with a pair of triumphs over the Sooners and one over Missouri for a 4-and-3 record . . . Undoubtedly the best balanced club in the conference, the Cyclones meet the Tigers in Columbia next Monday then entertain Kansas State and Kansas in their season's finale at Ames on March 1 and 3, respectively . . . Hence if the Iowans could hang a defeat on the Jayhawkers and get help in the same form from some other team they will have crept from obscurity in the league basketball basement into a probable tie for the title.
WITH TWO defeats necessary even to force them into a tie for the conference crown, however, the Jayhawkers look like a good bet from this point . . . Aside from the Iowa fracas, most likely pitfalls for Kansas as we see it are the Missouri game in Columbia next Friday and the Nebraska contest in Lincoln, March 1 . . . The Kansans are certain to absorb a physical beating here next Tuesday when they tangle with a brawny Kansas State five, but aside from this the contest should not cost a supreme effort . . . Personally, we think that O.U. game in Hoch, March 7, is already sewed up in the Kansas win column.
KANSAS' TWO football playing Rays, Niblo and Evans, honorary co-captains of the year's freshmen gridders, are good for something besides all-around football ability . . . Evans has already shown promise of becoming one of the greatest of all K.U. basketball players by his performance this year on the frosf five and is also a fine baseball player, being regarded as one of the best catchers in Kansas City's Ban Johnson league for the past couple of seasons . . . Ray is also a softball pitcher of renown.
NIBLO'S OTHER claim to sports fame is his record as a boxer at L.S.U. . . . In 1938 he won the lightweight tourney at Dallas, taking all ten of his fights via the knockout procedure . . . He never has been defeated or knocked out (continued to page five)

ATO's Topple Psi's; Delt's Down K-Sig's
Exhibiting one of the gamest rallies of the current season, a favored Phi Kappa Psi team fell two points short of victory losing 23 to 22 to Alpha Tau Omega last night in intramurals. It was the A.T.O.'s first win in seven starts and the Psi's second loss in a similar number of contests.
In a thriller which matched the Phi Psi-A.T.O. battle, Delta Tau Delta achieved its fifth win of the season, defeating Kappa Sigma 26 to 21. The D.T.D. team led 16 to 15 at the half, and held a marginal point lead for the remainder of the game. Tied at 21-all late in the game, Walt Loudon, D.T.D., hit a long shot which put the D.T.D. five ahead, cinching the final outcome. Game standouts were Dumler and Trueheart, Kappa
Spotting the A.T.O. five a 17 to 7 halftime lead, the Psi's swung into action in the third period with Sealey and Hodge ringing up the points. At the end of the third quarter the Psi's still trailed 22 to 16. Hodge swished two 1-handers and Sealey
sank a long side shot to deadlock the score at 22-all. Then with two minutes to play, Bill Arthur, A.T.O. guard, sank a free throw which proved to be the game-winning margin.
