Six freshmen who will complete the 10-man student committee in charge of the Kansas Relays were announced yesterday by Sam Sifers, senior manager of the annual track event, scheduled for April 20.

Even if all of them could not be there in body, the spirit of more than a fourth of the student body and many Lawrence townspeople roamed the spectator stands in Oklahoma City last night at the game between the Jayhawkers and Oklahoma A. and M. for the fifth district N.C.A.A. championship.

Jayhawks Stop Cowboy Rush In Overtime
A battling Kansas Jayhawker cage team bested the Oklahoma A. and M. Cowboys, 45-43 in an overtime period, to represent the Fifth district in the N.C.A.A. semi-final tournament, next weekend in Kansas City.
Last night's victory gave the Jayhawkers an edge over Henry Iba's team, each winning home court encounters prior to this tilt. The Aggies played Friday night in New York City where they defeated De Paul University 34-33 in the consolation game of an Invitational tournament held at Madison Square Garden.
The winner of the semi-final tourney in Kansas City will

meet the winner of the Eastern semi-final playoff for the N.C. A.A. championship. The Jayhawkers will fill out the four team bracket, along with Colorado University, Rice Institute, and Southern California University. No drawings have been made yet.
A technical foul robbed the Jayhawkers of a victory in the regulation length game. As the game neared its close Bob Allen was sent into the game, but because of the noise the officials did not hear the scorekeeper's whistle and called a technical foul on the Jayhawkers for having six men on the court. Eggleston made the charity toss for the Aggies and tied the score, sending the game into an extra period.

Third Count Shows Tie For Junior Secretary
The junior class hasn't a secretary.
The third recheck of the ballots yesterday revealed a tie vote of 88-88 for both Marjorie Cook, independent, c'42, and Mary Louise Baker, Sigma Kappa, c'42.
A special meeting of the W.S.G.A. Executive Council has been called for Monday afternoon at 3:30 in the Pine Room in the Memorial Union building, to decide what is to be done.
As a result of overlooking a group of ballots the first returns on the election were Baker, 76, Cook, 20.
A second count showed an 88-87 vote in favor of Baker.
Whether the tie will be broken and how will depend on the decision of the executive council.
"No other balloting is in any way affected by the contest for secretary of the junior class," said Velma Wilson, c40, retiring president of W.S.G.A. yesterday.
