Kansas Earns Shot At A-M
Bucs Put Ghosts Out of Tournament
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Long distance rebounds gathered up from a few of the man who made the trip to Wichita last night to see Kansas down Oklahoma and earn a right to another shot at Oklahoma A. and M. Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
The Jayhawkers used gasoline and a liquid belt dressing on their shoes to cope with the slick floor and it did a much better job than the vaseline Coach Bruce Drake used on his Sooners' brogans. . But it sure made a mess of the floor. . Marvin Mesch was head and hands above every one else in the game. . Bob Allen played his second straight complete game against Oklahoma and was the only one to see 40 minutes of milling.
This morning when Doctor Allen got to his office he had a beautiful carved reading lamp which W. H. Johnson, retired professor of education, had made and sent to him for winning the game. . . The 80 year old educator listened to the game last night and enjoyed it so much he decided to give the coach one of his pieces of handiwork.
Ralph Miller started at guard and played guard despite the box scores listing him at center. . . The cagers are plenty weary after the game and will not get on the court gaain until they're ready to tackle the Aggies Saturday night. . . The Chamber of Commerce had a banquet for the three Big Six teams, but Missouri pulled out after they lost the first night, and the Sooners accepted an invitation to dine with the Oklahoma Alumni chaper.. . So the Jayhawkers received all the affections of the C. of C. . Henry Levit, the clothing store man who used to sponsor the Wichita Henrys cage team, was largely responsible for the feed.
Dinner Tomorrow For Jayhawkers
One of Kansas' six Olympic competitors, Everette Bradley, was at the banquet. . . Bradley is now in the oil business at Wichita. . . The other five Jayhawkers who have worn the red, white, and
The Lawrence Co-operative club will entertain the Jayhawker basketball squad at 6:30 tomorrow night with a dinner at Wiedemann's cafe. The dinner will be given in appreciation of the team tieing for the Big Six basketball championship.

Comets To Gain Semi-Final Berth
GAMES TONIGHT
7 o'clock—Buccaneers vs. Phi Gam's.
8 o'clock—A. K. Psi's vs. Delta Chi's
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
The Galloping Ghost's hopes for a third consecutive title were swept to the winds last night by a great Buccaneer team which has yet to see defeat. The Buccaneers won by a score of 28 to 24.
With Ed Hall leading the attack, the Delta Chi's achieved their second straight playoff victory by downing the Comets, co-champs of Division II, 22 to 18.
Two Standout Games
Tonight's semi-final games finds Phi Gamma Delta opposing the Bucaneers at 7 o'clock and Alpha Kappa PSI meeting Delta Chi at 8 o'clock.
In the "C" team playoffs, Phi Delta Theta "C" gave Beta Theta Pi "C" their first loss of the season 33 to 24 and Phi Kappa Psi "C" triumphed over Delta Tau Delta "C" 30 to 23.
Moving into an early lead, the Buccaneers rolled up a 19 to 13 margin at halftime on the shooting skill of Dalrymple, Buccaneer captain, and Ulrich, ace center. The second half found both teams exhibiting iron-clad defenses. Game standouts were Coffin and Fournier for the Galloping Ghosts and Bourne and Dalrymple for the Buccaneers.
Weary after their hardearned 45-39 victory over Oklahoma last night in the finals of the Big Six-N.C.A.A. playoff series, at Wichita, the members of the Kansas basketball team arrived home today to get some much needed rest before going to Oklahoma City Saturday night.
Win Over O.U. Puts Kansas In Play-Off
Delta Chi gained their semi-final berth after a hard fought battle with the Comets. Ed Hall's rebound work and one-handed jump shots were too much for the loser's. Hall held Domingo, Comet scorer, scoreless during the opening half. However Domingo gathered seven points in the final period and nearly brought about the downfall of the Delta Chi's. The box scores:
