Conference Bunting Depends On 'Ifs'
- Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri Will Fight for Championship With Tigers in Favored Position; K-State, Nebraska and I-State Out of This Year's Hectic Cage Race
By Clavelle Holden, c'40
Dame Fortune, that fickle female of uncertainty, apparently has decided that the winner of the 1939 Big Six Basketball ballint will be Kansas, Oklahoma, or Missouri. This oft-prairier sport, goddess, will lift, two.
names from her hat Saturday night and then there may be but two rivals for this year's court crown. Prayers from K-State, Nebraska, or Iowa State won't place them in the court elite.
Saturday night the Jayhawkers entertain Bruce Drake's Oklahoma Sooners here and Homer "Thin Man" Wesche and the four other K-Aggie hopsters journey to Columbia to tangle with the Missouri Tigers.
Kansas Must Beat Sooners
The game in Hoch auditorium will undoubtedly be one of the outstanding basketball games of the year. In an earlier meeting in Norman the Sooners defeated the Jayhawkers decisively so the revenge element will be a factor. But the fight for survival will be the most important, because if Kansas is defeated it will be eliminated from the running. The finger of victory should point to Kansas the Sooners would still have a mathematical chance of getting their finger in victory pie.
Missouri now tied with Kansas for second place, will enter Saturday's game as a heavy favorite. In Manhattan Tuesday night the "Showme" boys guarded Wesche so closely that he appeared to be playing in a tent. They also displayed a red team flag and led the Tigers win this game, they will then have a record of six wins and three losses.
May Win Title In Columbia
If Kansas should emerge victorious in the match this weekend it would also be sporting 6 and 3 standing. Should things come out this way, some unknown schedule maker would undoubtedly pat himself on the back, for the Fighters and players to enjoy their best in Columbia for the final game of the season March 2. This might be a championship tilt and it might be just a dog-fight for a half interest in the coveted blue ribbon.
The Sooners can not be forgotten should they lose their Saturday night's fray. If the Boy Scouts win their two remaining games they will be assured of a first play tie with Kansas or Missouri. Each of the league leaders will have a record of seven on the blue and three on the green. The Motschalk plays the Cormhuskers in Lincoln March 4 and then invades the Wildcat'sair in Manhattan March 6 for the final game.
Which all leads to gray hair. Undoubtedly the winner or winners will have to show a record of seven wins and three losses to receive the victor's laurels. Then also the unjust must be forgotten.
Thus far this year only Kansas and Missouri have been able to score a win away from home. This unexplainable fancy of the sport spirits casts a gloom on any hope the Sooners may have of winning all their remaining games are away from home.
Sooners Face Tough Schedule
From this maize of "ifs" it appears that Oklahoma will probably defeat herself—the schedule maker's fault for arranging the last three game away from home. The Jay-hawkers, barring bad luck, should win their last home encounter Saturday night. Missouri should not throw in his pitching when who it is playing and where Which makes March 2, the night!
In the event this game develops into a championship-deciding clash, Missouri will get the nod and the winners share of the gate receipts. Kansas has always played in tough luck when it shows its court wares in Brewer fieldhouse. In 1935 the Jay-hawkers lost the title to Iowa State when the Tigers slapped them down twice in Columbia.
Kansas and Oklahoma Tankmen May Clash
Coach James Raport reported yesterday that an invitation had been sent to the Oklahoma swimming team in a lookalike duel here Friday night.
Oklahoma has a meet with Kansas State at Manhattan Friday afternoon and probably will come on down to Lawrence that night. The exact strength of the Sooners is not known but Raport believed they would send a strong group of splashes.
Leaders Retain Top Position
Phi Delta Theta, as yet undefeated, is the leader of Division I in the University intramural basketball standing.
The Galloping Ghosts and Alpha Kappa Psi's remained undefeated throughout the week and are the leaders of divisions II and III respectively. However the Hell-hounds I are close on the heels of the AK Psi's and have not made it to Division IV of Dison IV, Delta Chi and Phi Delta Thea have yet to receive their first set back.
Beta "C" is the undefeated and undisputed leader of Division V, with the Phi Delt "C" team as its closest contender.
Aggie Game Movies Feature Football Club Dance Friday
Pictures of the Kansas State-Kansas football game played at Manhattan this fall will be shown by members of the Football Club when they entertain with a dance Friday evening from 9 to 11:00 in the men's lounge. They are Ms. E. H. Liddley are to be guests. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Getto and Mr. and Mrs. Gwinn Henry will act as chaperones.
Delta Chi Meets First Defeat
- Lose to Koppa Sig Five 22
To 20; Sigma Chi Drubs
Acacia Team
In a thrilling overtime game a small Kappa Sig basketball team turned back the previously undefeated Delta Chi's 22 to 10, and knocked them out of a first place tie with Fhi Delta Theta.
The game, which was spied by rough play and numerous fouls, was nip and tuck all the way with the Delta Chi's staging a last minute rally to send the contest into the second overtime played between two intramural basketball teams this year.
The Kappa Sig's took an early lead with Hensley scoring five first half points and Keown adding four and were leading 15 to 11 at the intermission. They kept the lead by only a few points until the very last of the game when Kraemer and Hall each scored to tie the contest at 20 to 20 as the regular playing time ended.
Going into the overtime period each team began to play aggressive ball and many tie ups and fouls resulted. The Delta Chi made good on a free throw but Hensley swished one through the basket to put the Sig's out in front and the game ended with the Delta Chi trying desperately to gain possession of the bail for a last minute attempt at the goal. Hensley was high scorer of the game with 10 points, making good contact and returning to throw. Hall, Delta Chi guard, was high point man for his team with four field goals totaling eight points. In the only other basketball game played yesterday, a big Sigma Chi team defeated Acacia 38 to 20. L. Claussen scored 12 points for the Sigma Chi and Watson accounted
Three volley ball games were played in which Sigma Nu defeated Phil Kappa Psi 21 to 17 and 21 to 5; Delta Upsilon took the measure of Phil Delta Theta 21 to 3 and 21 to 7; and Beta Theta Pi had little trouble with Delta Tau Delta 21 to 4 and 21 to
for four goals and one free throw for Acacia.
The basketball schedule for tomorrow is as follows:
Five Moundsmen Start Workouts
To date Eldreth Codwalader, an outfielder last spring, is the only catching prospect.

Bausch received his nickname "Jarring Jim" from sports writers when they watched him play softball on the Kansas eleven in 1920-30. He was named on the all-Big Six team both of those years.
Jim had time to stop at the scales by the shower door. He remarked that he was only five pounds under his former training weight.
In the Kansas Relays in 1932, compete under the colors of the Kansas City Athletic Club, Jim broke the world scoring record for the decathlon. The following summer on the west coast he again broke the record as he was crowned the Olympic decathlon champion.
or has not heard of anyone who can catch the mile king. Jim will remain in Lawrence about a week.
In 1933, Bausch was awarded the James E. Sullivan memorial award "for doing the most in the previous advance the cause of sportsmanship."

Since Jim left Kansas, he has been found playing basketball with a professional team in Washington, D.C. He also made several stage appearances with Carlton Coon Jr. and his orchestra, being featured as the singer. Both of these events happened just after he left school. In 1935 he announced that he was through with athletics and not until Monday did he make an appearance on the track.

After a few moments rest, the decathlon champion could not resist a group of shot putters who were working in a far corner, and to their delight he offered his assistance. He became so interested in his work with the putters that he almost forgot a dinner engagement. Bauch stressed the fact that the shot putters worked well on the course and in practice in order to do their best.
With only 20 minutes to shower and dress for his dinner engagement
After an absence of six years from the cinders, James Bauceh, bumed Kansas athlete and Olympic decathlon* champion in 1932, returned to Kansas Monday to don his University of Kansas track togs. Bauceh said he had no particular reason for returning here except that his business brought him in the direction of a show around his school to stay around his old school for a while.
"Jarring Jim" is now working for the Bureau of Internal Revenue department in the capacity of a travel auditor. Bausch said his visit to Lawrence was a surprise to Coach Bill Hargiss, but when Hargiss found out that Jim was in town he immediately invited him down to the track.
The former Kansas star took a few laps around the track and to his own surprise he was in pretty fair condition considered one of his six years.
