Kansas May Win Title If 'Foreign-Floor' Jinx Holds To Form
★ Jayhawkers Only Team To Win Game Away From Home With Schedule Half Completed; Missouri and Iowa State Tied for Lead, Look Impressive; Oklahoma Not Out of Race Yet
By Jay Simon, c'uncl
If all the members of the Big Six family can just keep it step with their theme song, "Home Sweet Home," Kansas will come truckin' down the home stretch with the conference bunting.
Of the 12 loop contests played to date the Jayhawkers are the only outfit to win on a foreign court and should this sort of
sus in first place with six wins and four losses when the curtain is finally rung down in March.
Despite the great odds against an occurrence of this nature, the more you think of it the more possible it seems.
Missouri and Cyclones Win At Home The leading Missouri and Iowa State clubs have easily polished off three opponents on their local plains. They have both done away with Oklahoma, and Iowa State has won each of those big tasks plenty big tasks out of the way. Iowa State has Nebraska and Missouri to dispose of while the Tigers have yet to meet the two Kansas entrants.
Both Missouri and the Cyclones are reputed to have exceptionally fine home teams this year (but aren't they all), and one doesn't have to have an Edgar Allen Poe team. They clean before their own followers.
Sooners Not Out Yet
The Jayhawkers have to play Oklahoma, Iowa State, and Nebraska on the Hoch rectangle, and must be rated, at least, slight favorites to win each one of them.
Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Kansas State all have four games left before their local folks, and there are plenty of chances for slip-ups here. Still, the Sooners have one of the best teams in the league and can do so more than take on themselves anywhere, especially so in Norman.
Frank Root's team, sparked by their scoring twins, Wesche and Reid, are going to be awfully hard at take马唐堡. Kansas was very lucky to elk out a 40 to 32 victory, but they out by 12 points midway in the last half.
Nebraska really hung one on the Jawhays in linein, so they must be given serious consideration anyhow to go to the post in Hasketown.
It would certainly look strange to see Kansas win the title with six and four, and have four teams tied for second place with a five-hundred game. There are always strong things have happened. At least Robert Ribley says so.
Big Six Slows Pace
Kansas' 40 to 37 loss to Iowa State Monday night opened a week of little activity for the Big Six. Nebraska plays at Norman Saturday night for the only other game as seen in examinations take over the state.
When the Cyclones won to go into a tie with Missouri for first place, it was Bobby Menze and Bobby Allen, the coaches' sons that paced their teams. Young Menze tossed in 15 points for high scoring as the Joyawkers' defensive sparkling, in addition to scoring six points.
It was another case of Kansas trailing at the half and then putting on the pressure in the late stages of the game to come from behind. After trailing by five points at the intermission the Jays rallied and marshalled a 34 to 30 bulge with four minutes left, but time they made the riffle. Some successes playing on the part of the Kansans and some brilliant shooting by the Cyclones turned victory into defeat, or vice versa.

He also stressed the fact that he should buckle down and make their grades so that they would be eligible for football when the real season starts.
Beta and Sigma Nu B'Teams Win Games
With final examinations beginning to occupy the center of attraction, intramural basketball games will suffer a holiday until the beginning of next semester. Several late Monday night games were forcited. However, Beta "B" suddus Signa Nu "B" "20" to 8 and Delta Chi "B" swamped A.T.O. "B" 33 to 13.

Blind Carpenter Works Alone

Every school boy knows the story of Abraham Lincoln. Few college graduates take time to think of what odds he overcame to become President. In the above illustration,the artist crystallizes the historical legend which was an important factor of Lincoln's growth. He studied persistently in the unsteady light from flames in a fire-place. Had Lincoln been of less-hardy mold his eyesight might have failed him at an early age. But his whole life was bound up in hardships—akin to the age.
In 1939 the luxuries of a luckier Lincoln are commonplace or necessity. Our light comes from lamps of scientific eye-ease construction. Through one medium, another product of the progress of our age, such former luxuries are made universal because they fall in a price range most of us can pay. That medium is advertising. Advertising is the blood of large scale production which allows low cost on goods.
Modern men may ride the crest of progress already made toward Shangri-Las only dreamed of by Lincolns.
