Big Six eagle teams, swinging this week into the final month of a hectic basketball race, present a road trip record for the first half of the conference tussle that reads almost like a page from Mr. Neville (Umbrella Man) Chamberlain's diary.
*Aggies In Workout Here
The single discrepancy lies in the Kansas victory over Kansas State at Manhattan, spoiling an otherwise perfect home record for conference teams. Cyclones Breeze In
The Oklahoma A. & M. basketball squad will work out in Heuch audition this evening in preparation for the Kansas-A. & M. game tomorrow night. A fair sized crowd of students and townpeople is expected to be on hand for the workout.
All of which adds up to the oft-repeated conclusion that the defending champion Jayhawkers, now resting in the uncomfortable seclusion of four place, will emerge from the fighting with another Big Six team whose revenue rank continue to show an inability to win games or foremice floors.
The "Home Sweet Home" theory survived two severe tests over the week end. In a game which decided the temporary loop leadership, Iowa State turned back the Missouri Tigers, 51 to 14, at Ames. With their scoring genii hit on all cylinders, the Cyclones breezed in, around and under the taller Bengals who did everything well except throw the basketball through the hoop. Kansas Almost
Kansas State, however, offered a more serious threat to the home stand of Oklahoma's Sooners. But it turned out to be the same old story of an Aggie downfall when its crack starting combination is tested. The Sooners finally sneaked away with a 37 to 35 victory.
After the Norman contest, Coach Frank Rock announced he would start "shock troops" when his Wildcats open the week's Big Six program Wednesday night against Nebraska at Lincoln. Unless the severe reversal of the game, Mr. Root will be坐班看防 for another weekend as he prepares the Kansas Staters for the invasion of Iowa State.
If the future holds immediate possibility for the abolition of the "home jinx" the Iowa State tilt at Manhattan looms as the most probable exe-
Tivers To Norman
The only other conference engagement of the week will find Missouri striving to remain in the race by defeating Oklahoma at Norman Saturday. Here again there is a strong prospect for a visitor's victory. But after this long, we'll have to be shown.
Kansas, with more than half of its Big Six schedule completed, moves out of the conference to meet two Missouri Valley quintets, Okahanna A. & M. and Washburn. The Cowboys, perennial Valley, champions and favorites to repeat, come to Lawrence to borrow night to return to Kansas, which ended disastrously for the Jayhawkers early in the season. The Kansas-Washburn game will be played Friday night at Topeka.
UNDER
the WIRE By MILT MEIER
Good evening, mates, let’s exhuberate! 5 finally over, new semester starting, and a “brand new” streamlined writer on the old sports desk . . . what to move to? I . . . What was that? . . . did I ask hour? . . . something about hoping he back into school on probation? . . .
Anyway, hope you all were as lucky as someone was . . . and here is wishing the Jaywalkers will be lucky enough to come on out in their scramble with the Oklahoma Aggies tomorrow night . . . it isn't the old crystal ball that says Kansas is just a common old hunch . . . and one that is as surfeite as General Franco's troops in Spain . . .
According to the Oklahoma A and M. basketball roster, Gibbs, the regular center in early season games, isn't listed among the present . . . not much "info" has been forthcoming from the southern school concerning his absence. He has been absent as recent games as Fred Astaire at a barn dance . . . in other words : nil . . .
Gibbs' absence sort of will effect a "favorable balance of trade," considering the dropping of Golay and Reid from the Kansas squad . . . insiders say that Reid may get another chance to show that his jaiunt up the primrose path was all a big mistake, but Gibao has reached trail's
Ohio State kind of upset the Big Ten's applacht the other day by nosing out Minnesota 31 to 30 and taking first place . . . now the Gophers are going to try and get out of that hole they were so rudely put into . . . i isn't home sweet home to them . . . but the Gophers are right up there with Ohio State again . . . Indiana knocked he props from under the Buckeyes rather convincingly last night . . .
The scholastic hurdles were a little too much for Dick Ash and Ray Harris, cindermen . . . ditto for Bill Hogben, eager . . . 'n hasn't heard the axe, which couldn't be made up in summer session . . .
Prosperity note: Ralph Miller was practicing yesterday without the aid of that publicized brace hitch-hiking on his knee . . . and getting around pretty good too. . . better times are just around the corner . . . and the Jayhawkers weren't playing Bingo when they bombed the hoops
Cunningham's Schedule Filled
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, running a close second to the theory of perpetual motion, opened a strenuous month of running and lecturing when he won the Wammaker maze in 4:13 p.m. at the Garden in New York Saturday night.
★ Opens Strenuous Month Running and Lecturing With 4:13 Victory
The victory was Cunningham's sixth in seven tries at the Wana-maker mile, feature of the annual Milrose games, and kept him unbeaten in the garden since 1936. The "old master" beat off the challenge of Chuck Fenske, Wisconsin mil-star, and won by two yards.
The Wanamaker race was the first of six that Dr. Cunningham plans to run in this month. He also expects to carry on his lecture work.
Feb. 10 Glenn plans to run at the Pennsylvania Athletic Club Games in Philadelphia, Pa. The following day the Boston Athletic Association meet is scheduled, featuring the Hunter mile.
On Feb. 13, Dr. Cunningham will speak at a meeting of the Boston U. alumni. Two days later his class carries him to Milleville, Pa.
The Baster mile at the New York Athletic Club meet will occupy Glena's attention Feb. 18. Last year his time in winning was 4:08.6.
Feb. 21 Cunningham will be speaking in Lancaster, Pa., and the next two days he will be in York, Pa., for the same purpose.
Feb. 25 the barrel-chested Kansan defends his National AAU. championinah in the 1500 meter run Last year in this meet Glenn set a new indoor world record for 1800 meters, moving the mark from 3:49 to 3:48.4.
On Feb. 21 he runs at Syracuse, N. Y. and this will complete his stay in the East. Dr Cunningham will visit the Kansas and Oklahoma in Kansas and Oklahoma.
yesterday . . . in other words, they were hitting with regularity . . .
Aside to Jim (Topeka Capital)
Reed: Betch 'tai that the Missouri Valley bows to the Big Six this week
... and then we will be on a par with you ... or do records over the years mean anything? ... Let's see now, the Joyhawks take on Oklahoma A. and M. and let me think—oh yes, Washburn ... that last one 'most slipped m ymind. . .
W. P.A. thought (idle): Wouldn't surprise me to see the sports department of the Daily Nebraskan turned into a date bureau before the semester is over . . . what with a woman sports editor running things, and male admirals running Bier-Bower, belated congratulations.

Gordon Nicholas, Iowa State's sophomore center sensation, bounded into the Big Six scoring lead with his performance against Missouri Saturday night when he scored 19 points. Nicholas has collected 73 points in six games for a 12.16 average.
Wesche Loses Scoring Lead
Garnett Corbin, Oklahoma hot shot and sophomore forward, leads the scorers in field goals with an 80-64 record, credit garnered in five games.
Homer (Thin Man) Wesche, K-State center, still leads in the game averages as he sports a 13.80 mark for five games.
Oklahoma has three men in the first ten conference scorers, and every team has at least one man listed with the execution of Kansas.

Pittsburg Teachers gave southwestern another jolt in the Central Conference. . they say the Mound-builders' title aspirations have gone flatter than a glass of stale beer . . And St. Benedict is getting more potent than knock out drops in a highball . . .
ELDorado High is sticking to Winfield High like the movie on a movie star's income . . . that Ark Valley race is a tight one this year. . . McPherson High is the same along with Central Kansas League and is undefeated.
All Iowa State is worrying about now is playing Kansas and Oklahoma away from home . . . Oklahoma is worrying about playing Kansas and K-State away from Norman . . . Kansas is worried about playing Missouri at Columbia . . . and each Big Six team is worrying about not getting an equal share of the title . . . so it goes . . .
