PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1938 Kansas State Is Husker Foe ★ Wildcats Aim to Make It Two Straight Over Nebraska Tonight PROBABLE STARTING LINEUPS K-State Pos. Nebraska Boes f Kovanda Reid f Thomas Wesche c Randall Kramer g Fitz Dreier g Uerner Manhattan, Feb. 8. —(Special to the Kansas)—Determined to make it two in a row over the University of Nebraska quintet, Coach Frank Root and ten Kansas State basketball players move to Lincoln tonight for a return Big Six conference game. The Wildcats downed Coach Harold Brown's team by a 43-38 score in a roaring game here. The Huskers, like the Wildcats, have played hot and cold basketball since the opening of the season and Wednesday's meeting is a tosup from any angle. Werner, Fritz and Kovanda do the bulk of the Nebraska goal-making while Forward Ervin Reid and Center Homer Wesche chalk up points for Coach Root's aggregation. Wesche continues to lead conference individual scorers in game averages and it is not likely that the "Thin Man" will be replaced at the top of the list unless the unlooked-for occurs. Tail and agile, Wesche uses his speed and knowledge to an advantage and is on the shooting end of most of Coach Root's scoring plays. KFKU to Broadcast Merit System Discussion Tomorrow Reid is also out of the novice class when it comes to making points and the Wildcat forward, tagged "Deadman" by his teammates, Evan Reid and a list. Both Reid and Wesche are former Manhattan high school stars. "The Merit System in the Civil Service" is the subject of a round table discussion to be broadcast from KFKU tomorrow evening from 9:30 to 10. Those who will participate in the discussion are Prof. W. E. Sandelius and Prof. W. R. Maddox, both of the political science department; Miss Winnie D. Lancewine, professor of education at the University of Women Voters; and Mrs. Marvin LaSuer, auditor of Douglas county.

Cyclone Swimmers Here Saturday The University "splasher" open their equatic activities with a dual meet with the Iowa State Cyclones Saturday night at eight o'clock in the University pool. Coach Jim Raport stated that the Kansas swimmers would not be expected to break any records but only at certain times. They could be counted on for probable points. The Cyclones are defending swimming champions of the Bi Six. Graduation cost the Iowa team only two or three men from their squad of last year, so are strong favorites to retain the league title. A slightly complicated schedule will give the Jachways a boost in their Saturday meet. Iowa State has a match with Nebraska Friday night, an afternoon meet with K-State Saturday, and a game against their third contest in 24 hours. Some possible point winners for Kansas are: Proctor Ritchie, dashes and back stroke; Kenneth Rosebush, dashes; Dean Ritchie, back stroke; Leo Johnstone and Art Poindexter, 140 dash; and Paul White, diving. The first students of Villanova College were required to furnish themselves with large silver spoons.

The assistant coach, who has been farming in Salisbury, Md., for the past five years, is a former U. M. star and assisted Henry for several years when he was head mentor at the Tiger school. Mr. and Mrs. Lansing and their five-year-old son have been visiting Mrs. Lansing's parents in Columbia the last few days. After spending a few days here Lansing intends to return to Columbia and pick up his wife and son and return to their strawberry farm in Maryland. Henry has not definitely decided when spring grid practice will start but it is expected to open about March 1, at which time Lansing will return for the duration of the six weeks training period. He plans to move his family to Lawrence sometime next summer. The former Tiger star recalled that he had met a number of former Jayhawk grid stars at Camp Doniphan, where he served as athletic director during the World War.
