Battle Wichita Next; Huskers Here Feb.10
Atop the Big Six standings, after three straight victories, University of Kansas basketball players are turning away from the court to devote all of their time to final examinations for the first semester.
Next game for the Jayhawks will be a non-league encounter with Wichita University at Wichita, Monday, Feb. 3. Dr. F. C. Allen's team gets back into conference competition when it meets Nebraska at Lawrence one week later.
The lull in Jayhawk court activities will give coaches of other Big Six teams more time in which to endeavor to figure out some way of slowing up Howard Engleman. Must Stan Engleman
Stopping Engleman appears impossible, but it is becoming imperative for opponents to whittle down the blond forward's 20 point average if they are to keep Kansas from another Big Six pennant.
Conference games to date have have shown that the Jayhawks can win if they get 43 or more points and Engleman's contribution gets them off to a good start. Kansas' just three Big Six opponents each scored 41 points and the other corraled 42.
With Bob Allen, senior center, finding the net at an 11.5 average, the other Jayhawks do not have to amass very many points for the team to achieve its goal of 43 points.
Most encouraging aspect of recent games has been the play of T. F. Hunter, rangy junior forward. Hunter appears to be the fifth man
that Dr. Allen has been searching for, to team with Engleman, Allen John Kline and Marvin Sollenberger Hunter Adds Strength
The lanky Oklahoma is particularly valuable as a "feeder" for Engleman. It was not until the last two games that Hunter saw much action and in those contests Engleman scored 25 and 23 points. T. P. played 17 minutes against Missouri and $39_{1/2}$ against Kansas State.
Kansas' free throwing, sour early in the season, has righted itself recently. The Jayhawks missed more than half their free throws against Oklahoma, but started their comeback against Iowa State.
In that game the K.U. cagers converted 14 free throws and missed 10 Against Missouri they made 12, while missing 5 and in the game with Kansas State only 1 was missed, while 12 were good.

AS WE SEE IT—
the rest of the league teams alone. In baseball Nebraska has managed to gain but one title in the 10-year conference history. Oklahoma's Sooners, usually considered one of the top collegiate nines in the country, have shown the way here with four notches in its championship belt. Missouri follows closely with three, and Iowa State and Kansas State have won it once. The Big Six abandoned baseball temporarily in 1933 and 1934.
Nebraska supporters could find another argument by presenting track records, which show the Scarlet supreme in 12 of 20 indoor and outdoor conference meets.
Bergman Says "No"
Big Six regulations prohibiting competitions for varsity athletes in athletic events outside the conference's jurisdiction will dent Jim Raport's boxing squad considerably. Raport received a letter yesterday from Dr. H. D. Bergman of Iowa State, chairman of the faculty representatives, refusing permission to two of his boxers, also varsity athletes, to participate in the Topeka Golden Gloves boxing tournament next week.
Tony James, outstanding heavyweight, and Charles Dalrymple, light heavyweight, were cut from the boxing squad by this rule. James is a football tackle, Dalrymple a baseballer.
The Huskers have won but three all-sports or pentathalon titles since 1929 while Oklahoma's mighty Sooners have carried off seven, including last year's crown. Kansas won the remaining one in the year 1930-31.
But not even this will save them if we take a look at the all-sports title winners, an annual aggregate score which includes all the conference sports of the year.
Nebraska has finished second four times, to O.U.'s twice, Kansas' twice, Iowa State's twice, and Missouri's once.
Nebraska seems to like the Big Six atmosphere. If she has seriously considered bolting the Big Six, we have never heard of it. Nearly all of her teams are threats for the various sports titles. Her attitude toward the other conference members is friendly.

JEAN ARTHUR
Hence, when you hear a Nebraska supporter begin the ancient drum beat for a bigger and better competitive field for the Huskers, see that the question is pressed beyond
the autumn football stage.
Records show that Nebraska is where she belongs. As yet she has flashed no sign of changing. Why should the patriotic Husker-alum or the non-loop griper try to force a withdrawal?
