Jayhawks Rely On Home Record For Sooner Game
- Kansas Faces Big Assignment in Tilt Against's League Leading Oklahomaans Saturday Night; Allen Crew Is Tough on Own Floor, and Must Win to Stay in Race
"Kansas is a good home club and should have a good chance against Oklahoma," "Phog" Allen, veteran Jayhawker basketball coach, stated yesterday in reviewing the team's record this year.
At the present time the Sooners are leading the Big Six court race with five victories and two losses. Kansas and Missouri are one-half game behind tied for second place.
Should Kansas lose to the Norman team Saturday night its chances of winning an undisputed title would be gone. If Kawasaki had won, it would have been one of the best teams in the league.
sas declare the rangers didn't
maintain Oklahoma loses her rem-
inence and the hawkers would share the title.
Allen Works On Defense
Allen, in preparation for this important conference match, is working the squand hard to try and imitate the play which has been weak this year.
Prior to the elimination of the center jump, Kansas teams had averaged holding their opponents to 19 points a game. With the new ruling, which gave the team scored on the ball, the offenses were naturally speeeded up, and the Jayhawkers defense allowed their rivals to score approximately 25 points per court match.
This year's team has allowed a game average of 39 points to be scored on it this year. The three
The 3500 seating capacity of Hoch auditorium will be taxed Saturday night for the Kansas-Oklahoma basketball game, it appears on the basis of the advance ticket sale. Only 1055 tickets remained available this morning and they were selling fast.
Five hundred reserve seat tickets remained this morning, of which 350 are seats in the first balcony. In addition, there are 350 seats available on balcony. These will go on sale as general admission seats at 40 cents.
Team Lacks "Sparkplug"
games that Kansas has lost this year can be chalked up mostly to poor guarding.
"We also need a sparkplug type of player," Allen stated, "to really have a good team." This year's squid is a quiet retreat bin of boys. There are no emotional players on the field. The rest were his team so he attempted to explain why the perennial champions are not in first place.
By coincidence the Sooners have two regular recuperating from similar injuries they received in a game with Oklahoma A. & M. last Friday night. Herb Scheffler and Marvin Snodgrass were injured. Scheffler is big tall center and is expected to cause the Jayhawkers plenty of trouble as the baseballs can crush Daily, newspaper, announced that both boys would be ready for action this weekend.
Sooners At Full Strength
Injuries also have contributed to Kansas's downfall. In the game with Iowa State Monday night, Bob Allen and Miller both sprained an ankle which has prevented them from taking part in some of the games at Ruston. "Phog" said that both boys would be ready to go Saturday night.
The Sooners are well stocked with reserves and apparently will enter this fray with their team at full strength for the first time this year. Marvin may be only junior guard, most of the games at the start of the season.
Thus far this year, the Sooners are ahead of their offensive scoring record of 45 points per game, established last year. The chief point gatherer on the Oklahoma team is Jimmy McNatt, who set a Big Six individual scoring record last Saturday when he made 29 points against the Iowa State Cyclones Mesch is also a high scorer. He is the second highest scoring guard in the conference.
Coach Drake will bring his squab to Lawrence tomorrow. Present plans call for the Sooners to work with the team on a ground game on the way here for the game.

Crippled Track Crew Invades Missouri Fridau
- Scholastic Difficulties, Injuries, and Sickness Dim Jayhawker Chances a t Columbia
A team of 18 track men will leave here tomorrow morning to engage the Missouri Tigers in a dual meet that afternoon. The Jawhawkers will be in flu jix Three members are suffering from severe colds or the flu.
Dale Heckendorf and Paul Masoner are suffering from bad colds but are entered in the meet with the Tigers. Captain Lyle Foy will remain home with a pulled leg muscle. Chris Eberhardt will take the trip although he has a twisted ankle and probably will not run.
Chet Cox, freshman star of last season is back this semester and is entered in the 440-yard dash for his first competition of the indoor season. Cox ran some races last year and Coach Haggis expects him to garner some points against Misrata. He could have a week to rest before they enter the Big Six indoor meet at Columbia, March 3 and 4.

Mile run—Joe Ryan, Charles Toberin.
440-yard dash—Vincent Graves, Chet Cox, Jack Morley.

Varsity-Frosh
Swimmers Tangle
There will be some real splashing in the Robinson gym pool at 9 o'clock Saturday afternoon when the freshmen swimming team meets the Jay-city girls. The girls challenged the varsity to this meet and some bets are behind the frost.
It is doubtful if Proctor Ritchie, varsity star, will be over a case of the flu, and Paul White is also suffering from a bad cold. The varsity
will have to rely on Dean Ritchie and Art Poindexter for their points. Comers on the freshman team are Lloyd Koochil, diver of much ability and Marion Cooper, dash man. These two tank men are co- captains of the yearlings. Other standouts on the frosh team are: Art Robinson, c- Kansas City, Mo.; Joe McCormick, c'42; Kansas Town, Mo.; c'42, Kansas City, Mo.; Wile Lee, Cismar, c'42, Schoenectady, N; Y: Joe Spearing, c'42, Cimarron; Fred Winters, c'42, Schoenectady, N, Y; Bob Nelson, c'42, Kansas City, Mo.
Any other freshmen who have had any competitive swimming experience and would like to try out for Coach James Raport before Friday.

Ghosts Wins
The Galloping Ghosts ran up a first half lead over Theta Tau and then coasted to a 45 to 23 victory to remain undefeated as the undisputed leader of Division II. The Ghosts all scored and accounted for ten baskets in the first half and in the second but scored on only six attempts, and two in the temps. Westerhauer led the Ghosts with six goals and three free throws for a total of 15 points. Houg scored five points for Theta Tau.
Phi Kappa Pai, led by Yoe who made eight first half points, jumped into an early lead and made it stand up for a 22 to 20 victory over Beta Theta Pi and practically eliminated the Beta's from all possibility of reaching the playoffs. Cunningham took up the scoring where Yoe left off and accounted for eight of the 10 points Phi Pai scored in the last half. Johnstone led the Beta's with six points.
Harwi scored 11 points and sparked the Phil Gam's to a 31 to 29 victory over a fighting Pi K. A. team. The game was close through the second leading 18 to 15 at the half. Pojnejemy made 12 points for the losers.
In the only upset of the evening a surprisingly smooth Sigma Nu aggregation swamped the Sig Alph's 37 to 18. The Sigma Nu's took an early lead with all their players scoring in the first half rally that put them out in front 18 to 6 at the intermission. Fogel was high-point with the team with six Alph points and Hall made six for the Alph's.
The D. U.'s with Galloway making sixteen points in a first half rally roved too strong for the A. T.O. and defeated them 42 to 32. The 30 to lead at the half was more than overcome and their last half rally fell short by 14 points. Sawyer scored 14 points for the A.T.O.

Don't look now, but Missouri and Oklahoma are going to be harder to handle than a hand full of eight balls in their remaining games . . . . Missouri stole some of Kansas' thunder Saturday night by derailing Nebraka at Lincoln . . . and put a clincher on the argument by handing K-State some of the same medicine Monday . . .
The Joyhawkers regained more of their confidence by whipping the Cyclones Monday night . . . but their play showed that they were thinking of the two remaining games on the schedule against the Sooners and Tigers . . . if the Kansas lads win in a game I am not appointing a committee to present them with the statue of liberty or sumpin . . .
This Big Six race isn't the only one filled with thrills and spills . . . after looking over some of the standings in other conference, I thought I had some of those "morning after the night before eyes" . . .
Indiana leads the Big Ten, but has been defeated and is followed closely by a couple of other teams . . . In the Southwest conference, Texas leads and has one defeat with several teams breathing on its neck. . . In Kansas' Central conference, Pittsburg heads the parade but has been defeated, and is hard pressed . there are others but isn't this mouch . . .
Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the eagle game, says Red DeBernardi is the greatest basketball player he has ever seen . . . to which more than several basketball fans probably are thinking; true words, sir . . .
