Cyclone Drive Fails
After tonight the Kansas basketball team will be in second place in the Big Six standings. Oklahoma and Missouri tangle at Norman and the team that loses will be shoved down into third place with two defeats. The Sooner officials are expecting 6,000 for the battle.
Contrary to history, the 49ers are leading the "Pony Express." Bob Allen and Ralph Miller have each collected 49 points in the Jayhawkers' five league tilts, and are tied for second place in the individual scoring race.
Harold Keith of Oklahoma was really beating the drums for one of his boys when he came up with this one: "When Marvin Snodgrass, 6-foot, 170-pound human handcuff of the University of Oklahoma basketball team, stopped Sidney Held, Nebraska scoring leader, without a point here Friday night, he caused Sooner fans to wonder if he isn't as fine a Sooner defensive guard as ever waved a sweaty hand across an opponent's line of vision." You tell 'em, Butch.
The Jayhawkers will play host to the Kansas State indoor cinder team here Thursday afternoon on the track Bill Hargiss has rigged up under the stadium. I'm putting in my bid early for a seat so I can see the "one man gang" toss the shot with his left paw.
Notes on last night's game with the Cyclones: the Jayhawkers missed 81 per cent of their shots, hitting only 14 out of 72 . . . Here's the averages on the only three Kansans that tallied: Miller, 7 out of 26; Ebling, 4 out of 13; and Allen 3 out of 13 . . . Ray Ebling, the former All-America star was in the stands and watched his little brother turn in a sparkling exhibition . . . If "Phog" Allen had a water boy as tall as Iowa State's, he would probably be playing regularly. Carol Schneider, the 6 foot 6 inch reserve center, carried the water jug to his mates . . . In the first loop game the Cyclones played this year Schneider tallied 13 points, but has been able to score but one basket in five games since then . . . Ralph Miller was having a bad night with his shots and still scored 15 points . . . Bob Menze got a big hand when he had to leave the game with four fouls. The coach's son is a great player and sportsman and has overcome the handicaps of size and vision . . . Bob Harris, the shooting red-head, is a far cry from the sophomore Harris of last year who finished high up in the scoring standings and was named on several all-conference teams.

By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
Iowa State put up a stubborn fight in Hoch auditorium, especially in the last three minutes when an eight-point rally fell just one goal short. The Jayhawkers won 36 to 34 to pull up slightly on the league-leading Oklahoma and second place Missouri clubs and hang up their nineteenth consecutive victory on the home planks.
The "Pony Express" had a tough time weathering a Cyclone last night as it appeared most of the hands were looking ahead to Thursday night when they ride against the Cowboys of Oklahoma A. and M. in one of the season's featured round-ups.
Jump To Early Advantage
Kansas went out after an early 12 to 3 lead and were ahead 36 to 26 with all but three minutes gone, but four quick Cyclone goals in the waning minutes threw a full fledged scare into the partisan crowd of some 3,000
Only three of the pony boys figured in the scoring column, as Ralph Miller set the pace with 15, Don Ebling chalked up 13, and Bob Allen got 8. Miller's 15 allowed him to just catch up with Allen in the Big Six conference scoring race, both of them now having 49 points for five games. They are tied for second place behind Jimmy McNatt for Oklahoma, but are considerably back of the Sooner ring-leader who is averaging 14.3 points a game.
Ebling Hits Three Quickly
It was Miller who started the Kansans with a long side shot after the Cyclones had counted first on Don Carlos' bucket from in close. Then
Littler of Nebraska is undoubtedly the best 440 dash man in the Big Six. Formerly of Compton Junior College on the west coast he ran as a freshman for Nebraska last year, winning the national junior
BOB MENZE
Jayhawker-Husker Dual Meet Rebounds
Probably the outstanding Kansas men in the meet were Don Thompson, who won the half mile race, and Bill Greene who finished second in the quarter mile behind Littler, who set a new record of 50.1 in taking this event. Greene's performance in second place also bettered the old record.
But for the rest of the period everything seemed to go wrong with the attack and Iowa State pulled up within four points. At the halftime gun the Jayhawks led, 18 to 14.
The Cyclone Spark-badly by a severe cold. He had been expected to win this event, but Brooks of Nebraska coasted in a good 10 yards the victor as the winded Harris gave up in the final stretch. The Big Six meet this spring should see a great race between Harris of Kansas, Brooks of Nebraska, and Munski of Missouri
Ebling began banging them in from close quarters to send the Jays into the lead. Bob Allen's pair of setups after passes from Miller and Dick Harp gave Kansas a 12 to 3 bulge with only eight minutes gone.
By Charles Skidmore
J. R. Jones placed second in the broad jump and only a case of jitters kept him out of first place, as two of his disallowed leaps beat the winning jump of 22 feet $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches. On the field below the stadium the run-way is on a curve, and it is impossible to see the sand from the starting point. His two tries which were disqualified were 22 feet and $2 \frac{1}{4}$ inches and 22 feet and 4 inches. Harris got only second in his specialty, the mile being hindered.
(The following are sidelights on the Kansas-Nebraska track meet last Saturday as given by Gordon "Sam" Clucas, gr., former K.U. track star and present track trainer.) The Nebraska team was in much better condition than the K.U. group because finals in that school occurred a week sooner. Most of the Kansas boys had trained seriously only the past week, since finals were completed, and were actually in no shape to meet Nebraska.
Miller hadn't counted but two baskets in the first half, but he began running circles around his guard in the last period to pour in 11 points and take high scoring honors for the evening away from Ebling.
Ted Scott, Kansas 60-yard man, pulled a tendon in his left thigh, team. Running the first quarter he turned in a fine race to lead the K.U. relay team to victory in this event.
A. A.U. 200-meter sprint and getting second in the 100-meter sprint. Against Kansas Saturday he garnered first in the 440-yard dash, and the 60-yard sprint, and placed in the broad jump. He will be the favorite in the 440 this season over Mathes of Kansas, although at Lincoln the K.U. had trailed at the finish line by a scant 2 feet.
Ray Ebling A Spectator
However, it was Ebling, performing before his all-American brother, Ray, who kept his mates ahead in the early part of the chukker with three straight hits from the foul line and a beautiful arch shot from afar.
From then on Miller monopolized the Kansas scoring, save one side shot by Allen midway in the half. He was hitting them from long range, driving in for shots, and connecting on spinners from just a short wav out.
All the while the Cyclones were whitling away at the Kansas lead, Gordon Nicholas, huking center who collected seven points during the contest, banged in two quick shots with about eight minutes gone to pull his team up to 21-25. A little later Don
O'Hara exceeded Coach Hargiss's expectations in the pole vaulting event when he bettered 12 feet for the first time. He went over the bar at 12 feet and 4 inches to tie Devins also of Kansas for second.
Sig Ep's Capture 19-17 Victory From Sigma Chi's
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
Suffering its fourth straight loss of the season, Sigma Chi, early season pacesetter, fell before a greatly improved Sigma Phi Epsilon five 17 to 19. A long bank shot by Bob Cooper, ace Sig Ep guard, with a minute to play, put the game on ice for his team.
A few seconds after Cooper's goal, Kresie, Sig Ep, sank a free throw to improve the lead. Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi, paced his teammates to a first half lead of 10 to 9, tallying three buckets from the field.
Phi Kappa Psi gained a 500 rating for the season by an impressive 44 to 14 victory over the Acacia five. Nolan and Nelson, Phi Psi forwards, were 'hot' gathering 14 and 11 points respectively. Clint Wood, diminutive Acacia guard, kept his team in the game, hitting the hoop for 5 goals and a charity toss.
As a result of a 21 to 12 win over the Warriors, ISA-4 moved into a third place tie with Rock Chalk in Division III. All seven members of the ISA-4 squad scored. The ISA outfit moved into the front from the start, holding a halftime lead of 11 to 4. The Dominoes II secured an easy triumph over ISA-3, winning by force fit.
The defending champion Galloping Ghosts rang up their sixth consecutive win, defeating the Ohio Ichabods 33 to 18. The Ohio Ichabods have been unable to enter the victory column in seven starts. Westehouse, hefty Ghost center, was high point man with 12 counters. Coffin and Kelly, two aces of last year's great team, were off their usual standard of play. Neither could locate the basket.
With three minutes left and the Jayhawkers seemingly well ahead with a 36 to 26 margin, Al Buldolphson and Bob Harris tossed in two baskets apiece and there was still over a minute to go with the score standing 36-34, Kansas.
Carlos and Lange took up the slack and they were trailing at 25-29.
Capt. Harp, who turned in a fine game grabbing rebounds off the Cyclone goal, called for the stall and Iowa State was trying desperately to get the leather for one last try at the basket. With seconds to go they got the ball out of bounds when a Kansas player took steps, but the "clutch" shot was erring.
The game was rough most of the way, but the only player who was waved to the bench via the foul route was Bob Menze, flashy little guard who quarterbacked his father's team in fine style. Al Budolphson, the Cyclones' prize sophomore, paced the visiting attack with nine points.
