Beat Vaunted Huskers, 44-38
Engleman, Hunter Kline Star In Win
By DON H. PIERCE Kansan Sport Editor
Rolling in high in a brilliant second half offensive a stout-hearted Kansas basketball five out-fought a towering Nebraska club to grab a rough and tumble 44 to 38 triumph last night in Hoch auditorium.
The victory witnessed by a capacity throng of 3,500 persons gave the Kansans their twenty-fifth consecutive home court win and stepped them half a game ahead of Oklahoma's Sooners atop
the conference standings. The defeat dropped the Huskers into third place, a half game ahead of Iowa State.
Leading the Red and Blue hit parade as usual was "Phog" Ailien's unstoppable forward, Howard Engleman, who dumped 22 points to maintain his spectacular conference scoring mark of 20 points per game.
Baffles N.U. Defense
The blond forward kept the meshes in a perpetual flutter with a crowd-pleasing assortment of scoop shot drive-ins and short one-handed pokes, and after the first five minutes turned the Cornhusker's giant guards, Don Fitz and Sid Held, into a bewildered sleeve, through which he pumped nine goals and four free throws.
It was Engleman's fourth straight contest in which he has scored more than 20 points.
Sharing the Jayhawker spotlight with Englander were big Johnny Kline, who fought the rafter-tickling Huskers to a standstill all evening, and T. P. Hunter, the lanky utility forward whose three first-half goals and splendid all-around performance were big factors.
Husker Forwards Tough
Only bright spot in the Husker play was a three-cornered scoring and roughhouse show by Nebraska's three jockeying forwards, Johnny Thompson, Les Livingston, and John Fitzgibbons, and a courageous 14 point scoring display by Al Randall, six-foot, seven-inch pivot.
Thompson, a coocky hustler with a crew haircut and flaring trunks, was effective as he paced the Husker's early forcing tactics, fired in three first-half baskets, and guarded scrappy Bob Allen with precision. He went out early in the second half with four personal fouls.
The lead changed hands seven times in the first period, and the clubs were tied twice; but although the invaders hung close until the waning moments, they could never overtake the fired-up Kansans. Thornsmen Open Scooring

Allen To Meet Tonight
With Baseball Candidates
All men interested in varsity baseball, will meet in room 203 of Robinson gymnasium at 7 o'clock tonight with Dr. F. C. Allen, newly appointed baseball coach.

sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
If the intramural basketball fan has become slightly weary from watching his favorite clubs collide on the divided court in Robinson gymnasium, but still craves cage action, he may gain welcome relief by watching the best of Hill basketball femininity perform in a pair of important tussles this week.
At 9 o'clock tonight in Robinson a beauteous Kappa sextet will face the defending Hill champion Corbin hall in a contest that probably will decide the championship of division I among the organized houses. Both clubs are undefeated to date.
Later in the week, on Thursday,
a strong Pi Phi club will collide with
the once-defeated Chi Omega's.
Leading the Kappa surge should be forwards Lo Smith and Ellen Irwin, who have manufactured a total of 40 points between them in the last two games. Smith, only feminine scoop-shot artist on the Hill, is currently boasting a 12-point average, Irwin an eightpoint mark.
Kathryn Hines, a comely freshman shotmaker, and shaped Margaret Butler, a tall redhead, are other forwards who will bear watching.
Corbin will counter with an equally fine array of talent, presenting in Mildred Wells one of the best right-hand shots in the business, and Lenora Grizzell, one of the classiest feminine athletes on the Hill, as forwards. A star guard is Alta Bingham.
Bulwark of the Gower place defense is scrappy Shirley Irwin, other half of the Kappa's sister basketball act, and Mary Beth Dodge, a guard of ability. Helen Johnson and Margaret Parker will fill out the lineup.
Jean Cochrane will team with Wells and Grizzell at the remaining forward with Lucille Gillie and Margaret Fultz or Phyllis Struble at the other sentinel posts.
The Pi Phi-Chi Omega contest should be equally alluring with an abundant supply of pulchritude and cage ability certain to be on hand. Chief threats in the Arrow lineup will include Billie Giles, a one-hand shot specialist, and Rita Le-

Two Games Are Real Thrillers
By CLINT KANAGA
The second half of intramural basketball got under way last night, highlighted by a pair of thrillers. Kappa Sigma staged a last minute rally to down Sigma Phi Epsilon 29 to 28 while Delta Upsilon held off a determined Alpha Tau Omega outfit to win 21 to 19.
In the other games, Newman II chalked up its sixth straight victory, triumphing over the Mississippi Meteors 26 to 7 and the Dead End Kids won from Dunakin I 23 to 24.
Heroes in the Kappa Sig-Sig Ep game were Shaw and Hall, Kappa Sig forwards. The Kappa Sig's moved in front 13 to 8 at half-time, were deadlocked 18-all at the third quarter, and with three minutes of playing time left, trailed 28 to 23.
The Kappa Sig's then put on a scoring spurt that left the Sig Ep's breathless, Hall counting twice on short one-handers and Shaw swishing the final goal, a long one, to win the ball game. Edwards and Kresie were standouts for the losers. Delta Upsilon, led by Donn Mosser, appeared on their way, to an easy win, leading 17 to 8 at the end of the second quarter. Dick Webb, A.T.O., put his team back in the running in the third period, with three consecutive baskets. The A.T.O. comeback was not enough, although C. Arthur gave the D.U.'s a scare in the last minute by sinking a goal which put his team within two points of their rivals.
Unbeaten in its sixth start, Newman II was never headed as Johnson and Maiden paced their teammates to an easy win over the Mississippi Meteors. Tannerbaun starred in the Dead End Kids' victory over Dunkin I, while Cunningham performed exceptionally well for the losing side.
