SHORT SUBJECTS
Coach Bill Hargiss has been confined to his bed this week with the "flu" and trainer Sam Clucas and Captain Ray Harris have been taking over the coaching duties. Bill hopes to be back to his post tomorrow afternoon for final instructions before the Big Six indoor Saturday.
Iowa State believes it had the best swimming squad in its history during the past season. During the campaign, the Cyclones broke six conference records and four varsity records.
Creightons victory over Kansas evened up matters between the Missouri Valley and Big Six conferences for the season, each organization winning six games. Kansas State set the pace for the Big Six with one triumph in its only start. Missouri and Iowa State racked up two out of three, and Kansas and Oklahoma, brought up the rear. The Jayhawkers won one out of three and Oklahoma dropped both of its games with A. and M.
Gwinn Henry says his football team is a wide open affair and no players have their positions cinched. He's urging all men who have the slightest aptitude for the sport to check out suits for spring practice.
Martin Nash, only Missouri cage regular who will return next season, has been elected to captain the Tigers next season. The way things look now Coach George Edwards will have Nash and Loren Mills for guards, Arch Watson and Herb Gregg for forwards, and Keith Bangert at center.
Sooners Expect Record Crowd Tomorrow Night
(Special)
Norman, Okla., March 7—Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's dashing Kansas Jayhawkers, winners of six consecutive conference games, come to Norman tomorrow night for their "clutch" test with the Oklahoma Sooners.
A crowd that may surpass the 7-321 that saw the recent Sooner-Oklahoma Aggie game at Norman, establishing an all-time state attendance record, will converge upon the Sooner fieldhouse for this battle which will determine the Big Six conference championship for 1940.
If Kansas wins, she will take an undisputed Big Six championship
Dr. F. C. Allen, trainer Dean Neesmith and the 10-man Jayhawker basketball squad will leave for Norman, Okla., at 10:37 tonight for their game with Oklahoma tomorrow night.
Kansas Holds Decisive Win
back to Lawrence with her. If Oklahoma triumphs, a three-way deadlock for the crown will exist between the Sooners, Jayhawkers, and Missouri.
The two teams have already met once this season, Kansas spanking
the Sooners by 20 points at Lawrence early in January. Although Marvin Snodgrass, Oklahoma's excellent defensive guard, didn't play in that game because of illness, the 46-26 flogging administered by the Kanto Glenn Cunningham in the rank-
ings of Kansas milers and two-milers.

Greatest Tiger Miler
Harris and Munski May Battle for Mile Crown
Munski ranks as the greatest middle distance runner in Missouri history, while Harris is second only
Harris never has beaten Munski at the mile distance, but always is the man who gives the Missouri star the most competition. Ray will try to capture that elusive victory in their last race indoors.
(This is the seventh of a series of articles dealing with prospects in the various events at the Big Six indoor track meet to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night. The series will be concluded with a review of the 60-yard high hurdles.)
Missouri's star miler from Montana and Kansas' crack mile runner from Missouri may clash for the last time indoors at the Big Six track meet in the Municipal auditorium at Kansas City, Saturday night.
The runners are "Lonesome John" Munski, the Tiger from Lewiston, Mont., and Ray Harris, the Jayhawk from Trenton, Mo. Both men are seniors.
Fastest mile clocking for each man was made in a relay race. Munski raced the mile anchor leg on a relay team in 4:10.5, while Harris in another relay was timed in 4:15. Husker May Cause Trouble
Last year Munski won the mile run at both the Big Six indoor and outdoor meets. Each time Harris was second. Indoors Munski set a new conference meet record of 4:17, while outdoors his time was 4:20.8.
The recent Kansas-Missouri dual meet did not bring about a renewal of the friendly rivalry between the two runners, due to Harris being out of action with a sprained ankle.
Chief competition for the two veterans is expected to come from Nebraska's brilliant sophomore miler, Harold Brooks. The Husker youngster raced the mile in 4:22.1 his first time out this winter.
Also in the battle for points in the mile will be Llewellyn Hughes of Iowa State and Paul Clingman of

Five "B" Teams
In the "B" team division the five teams selected were Phi Kappa Psi "B", Phi Gamma Delta "B", Kappa Sigma "B", Sig Alph "B", and Sigma Chi "B".
The opening playoff contests are scheduled to start Monday night although plans have not been definitely arranged. Drawings for the opening games were made this afternoon by the intramural managers of the teams taking part in the championship series.
Winning their tenth straight victory of the season, the Buccaneers had to play their best ball last night in winning from a determined ISA-4 five, 32 to 23. Halftime found the Buccaneers in front 17 to 12 due to the fine play of Claire Bourne. As a result of their triumph, the Buccaneers are champions of Division III and the only unbeaten team in intramurals.
The Comets knocked the Hellhounds out of the playoffs with a 24 to 21 win in a close hard fought game. Domingo and Peterson paced the Comets while Shane and Linn were standouts for the losing team.
