Cagers Play Fordham In Garden December 28
As spring basketball practice comes to a close, Dr. F. C. Allen believes he has made considerable progress, although he has not stressed attendance at all of the practice sessions. Dr. Allen is emphasizing studies now so all of the players will be eligible
for their tough schedule next year. Recently, contracts were completed which will take Kansas East next season to meet Fordham and Temple. In Madison Square Garden, December 28, Kansas will play Fordham, and on December 30 the Jayhawkers
will meet Temple at Philadelphia. Kansas will play Texas again next year, but the original dates of December 13 and 14 have been withdrawn because of Christmas vespers to be held on Sunday, December 15.
If the tentative plans are carried
out the games will be played on December 16 and 17. Kansas will also play Oklahoma A. & M. and possibly Loyola. However the dates have not yet been decided.
The Kansas Big Six schedule:
Jan. 8, Oklahoma at Norman.
Jan. 13, Iowa State at Lawrence.
Jan. 16, Missouri at Lawrence.
Jan. 20, Kansas State at Manhattan.
Feb. 10, Nebraska at Lawrence.
Feb. 21, Missouri at Columbia.
Feb. 25, Kansas State at Lawrence,
Mar. 1, Nebraska at Lincoln.
Mar. 3, Iowa State at Ames.
Mar. 8, Oklahoma at Lawrence.

HORACE MASON Guest Conductor
The Big Six track and field meet, always a gala event, promises to be even better than usual this year . . . It will take place Friday and Saturday at Lincoln . . . For sports fans who will be unable to get to Lincoln we heartily recommend the state high school track meet at Emporia Saturday.
Competition at Emporia is expected to be keenest in the 440, 880 and mile . . . In both classes, A and B, the entry lists in these three events are studded with stars.
The Class A 440 will have special interest for Kansas sports followers in that the "Last of the Eberhardts," Charley, is one of the favorites in this race . . . The rangy Salina ace is expected to follow his brothers, Chris and Fred, to Mount Oread . . . The class of the competitors in this event makes it appear almost certain that the winner will break 50 seconds for his quarter . . . Charley Eberhardt ran a 50 flat quarter as a sophomore in high school, but was slowed down by injuries last year . . . He's o.k. again now and a 49.5 quarter for him would be no surprise.
Similarly, there is a crack field in the Class A 880 . . . Times made by the better half-milers this season indicate a time of 1:58 or 1:59 for the winner Saturday . . . Fred Hill of Holton has the best time, 1:59.8, but is by no means a certain winner . . . Jack Knight of Coffeyville and LaVerne Dolton of Chapman turned in times of 2:02 at the regional meets and should be able to lower that time materially in stiff competition.
Although the Class A mile should be hotly contested, it is doubtful that the winner among the larger schools will have as fast time as the victor in Class B . . . The smaller schools are sending such crack milers to the state meet as J. C. Snyder of Admire, Cecil Seibert of Pretty Prairie, Earl Calder of Gardner, Robert Morstorf of Emmett, Rae Reusher of Clearwater, Keith Winchester of Tribune and Floyd Santner of Minneapolis.
Biggest star of the regional meets was Harry Pruitt, diminutive Independence Negro. Pruitt won the high hurdles in 14.6, sizzled over the low hurdles in 22.2.

Four Teams Undefeated In Softball
Four teams remain undefeated in the men's intramural softball league with only two more days of actual play remaining in the regular season.
These teams, Galloping Dominoes, Alpha Kappa Psi, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Kappa Psi, all are assured berths in the playoffs except the Phi Psi's. In Division IV, there are four teams fighting for the two spots in the championship bracket.
Division one standings show the Dominoes with four wins and no losses followed by the Hillside Club which has the same number of wins but also has a loss to mar its schedule. These teams play this afternoon to decide the fate of that division. Both the winner and the loser should go into the playoffs.
In Division two the leaders are the Alpha Kappa Psi's. They are closely followed by the Theta Tau's who have but one loss.
Beta's Defeat Sig Alph's
The results of the Beta-Sig Alph game decided the leadership of Division three. The pitching of Bill Hogben won for the Betas so they hold the coveted spot with only one game to play. The Alphs have gone down to defeat but once and are in the playoffs as their schedule is completed.
The big fight for the division four cup has been narrowed down to three teams as a result of the forfeiting of a game yesterday by the Delta Upsilon team to the Sig Ep's. Undefeated until Friday when they were upset by the oft-defeated Pi K. A.'s this second loss throws the Delta U's out of hte running.
The undefeated Phi Psi's have two games to play and they are both against the teams that are tied for second place, Sigma Nu and Sig Ep. The Sigma Nu team seems to be the most potent of the two teams and it is believed that the outcome of the Phi Psi-Sigma Nu game tonight will prove the ultimate winner of the division.
The playoffs will start Friday for eight of these nine teams and it is our guess that the championship will soon narrow down to a fight between the Sig Alph's and the winner of division four.
Playoffs Start Friday

By Orlando Epp, c'42

Rod Wakeland was the only winner in the golf matches and scored a par 70 for medalist honors. Even in losing the meet, the University golfers posted one of the lowest combined match scores of the season.
York, K-State, carded a 74, and handed Dean Ritchie his first defeat of the spring season. Ritchie turned in a 77. Bill McElhenny toured the 18 holes in an 81, and Bob LeGree scored a 79. but both lost their matches, 2 1-2 to 1-2.

Track Team Prepares For Big Six Meet
By annexing 48 out of a possible 54 points from six field events, Missouri forced Kansas' track team to take a back seat in a first class exhibition in Columbia last Saturday by a margin of only 20 points.
Derrell Mathes won the 100 and 220-yard dashes,and dugged at his cocky opponent as he spend past him in the last lap of the mile relay.
J. R. "Jumper" Jones was nosed out of first place in the broad jump by one inch. Hargiss, who was dissatisfied with Jones' performance, made him try once more after the event was finished. The attempt netted a four-inch better jump than that made by Jones' adversary, but of course, was not recorded.
After his yellow-shirted companions had clinched all 18 points in the shot put and discuss, Waldram of Missouri flipped a 187 foot throw for a first in the javelin. Face, another Tiger, was one foot better than Dawes of Kansas and took his place
Ted Scott galloped up behind Mathes in the 100-yard dash for his three points, and left only a third place berth for the hair-blown Schumitzky, of Missouri.
