Jiahuakowers Must Stop Scoring Machine of the Tigers; Oklahoma 'Boy Scats' Break Scoring Record of the Big S ix Held by Kansas; Score 45.6 Per Game
Columbia, Feb. 28. — (UP) Oklahoma stayed in the Big Six running tonight by defeating Missouri, 55 to 52, in the fastest game played at Brewster field house this year.
Missouri led early but Oklahoma tied the score at 7-11 Oklahoma then took the lead and was ahead at half time, 24-22 In the second half, Oklahoma remained in front until Tison tie it at 47-47. From then on it was first one and then the other.
Mesch and Martin, Oklahoma guards, were in rare form, each scoring 19 points.
Oklahoma's victory last night means that Kansas must produce a victory over the Missouri Tigers here Thursday night if it is to claim an undisputed title. A loss will put the "Boy Scats" and the Jayhawkers in a tie, each with 8 games won and 2 games lost.

the greatest scoring aggregation the conference has ever known. The news record is an average of 45.6 points as game as compared to the old record, held by the undefeated Jay-hawk team of 1936, of 42.2 points a game. However, the defensive performance of the "Boy Seats" is not near the defensive average of the 1936 Kansas five.
Missouri's total of 52 points represents 2 more points than the Jay-hawkers have been able to gather in any Big Six game this season. Unless Coach "Phog" Allen figures out a way to stop the late-season development of the Missouri offense, the Kansans may not be able to match the baskets of the Tiger scoring machine.

Cunningham To Seek New Record
Former Kansas Miler
Will Run Thursday for
New Indoor Mark on
Fast Dartmouth Track
New York, Feb. 28. — (UP) Supreme over all opposition encountered thus far this season, Glenn Cunningham, erstwhile Kansas乳爸 who runs for the New York City Exchange Basketball team, to complete the fastest indoor mile in history, it was learned here.
Cunningham will go to Hanover, NH, on Thursday to run against a stop watch on the fast Dartmouth College track. Dartmouth's board runway measures 6 2-3 laps to the mile. In the opinion of virtually all eastern track experts, the track is the fastest index track in America. It is for instance, nearly six times as large as the track in Madison Square Garden, here, the racing strip on which Cunningham last Saturday night, set a new world's record for 1500 meters. The new mark was 3:48.4, as compared with the former and still official mark of 3:49.9.
That record performance on Saturday proved that Cunningham is very much atop his stride, and so may well lower his own world's mark of achievement, but the latter the added mark, credited to Yoland's Wooden Sam.
"It's all how I feel on the day of the race," Cunningham said today, "and that's something that can't be predicted. But I'm just hoping that I'm right for it seems to be a good way to do the best mile I ever drove."
Plan Girl Reserve Training Course
trains for the Girl Reserve Training Course which will begin this month are being formulated. The course is held each spring semester, and is open to all senior women or to anyone interested in such training. It is sponsored by the School of Engineering by the Y.W.C.A. All senior women who plan to teach in high schools next year are urged to attend.
The tentative plans for the course consist of a number of talks by faculty members and by those participating in such work in high schools. The women enrolled in the training course will have an opportunity to visit Girl Reserve cabinet meetings and group organizations. They will receive much practical information concerning the systems of the program. The women completing the course satisfactorily will be awarded a certificate.
Raymond Eastwood, professor of drawing and painting in the School of Fine Arts, will speak on "What I Learned from the Art Museum" at 7:30 a.m. Spooner-Thayer museum.
The chairman of the committee in charge of the plans for the training course is Dorothy Trekell.
Next Lecture in Art Series Is Tomorrow Night
Professor Eastwood's lecture is one of a series of art lectures which are being given on alternate Fuss-les-Saisons in Spoon-Tower museum.

The one blot on an other wise fine evening of sporting competition came when a Nebraska fan bounced a "big apple" off the elbow of Dr. Bubba McGraw.
Big Apple Fails To Chase Doctor Away From Nebraska Corn-Husking
"For sheer hot shooting by both teams it was the best game I have seen this year," said Doctor Allen. "The Nebraska crowd as a whole was made up of fine sportsmen, but some were apparently impressed with the idea that an apple a day is good for anybody. I am glad the vendors were not selling pop.

Both Ischenbower and Neal of San Antonio were Texas junior college champion debaters in 1936. Ischenbauer is a second-year member of the debate squand and a senior in the school of business administration. Last year he debated in the Northern Valley forensic meet at St. Louis.
While the incident did not threaten to break up the game—as has been reported—it did cause the genial doctor to glance around suddenly in search of his assault. Anyway, the apple did not chase the door away, but instead hit it with a punch and win what returning fans agreed was a "splendid game."

"I am quite sure Doctor Allen didn't protest a single decision of officials, but he did protest when hit by an apple," said Karl Klooz, University burser and business manager of athletics. Miss Black and her team conquered the tournament. "And it was a spanked game," said Mr. Klooz.
"Why, yes, Doctor Allen was the core of the situation," said Miss Florence Black, assistant professor of mathematics, who with Miss Wealthy Babcock, witnessed the game. "He was the core, in that he had the better coached team. That better coached made itself clear in the second half of the season when the apple—it would have taken a martyr to sit still under the provocation."

Work On Dyche Begins Today
Construction work on Dyche museum begins today. Klaro Klooz, bursar, yesterday received copies of the contracts totaling $45,000. The museum has been closed since November, 1982 at which time the museum was closed because investigations had revealed that the building was unsafe.
Museum, Closed Since 1932. To Be Reopened When $45,000 Contract Job Is Completed
The contract for the general construction was awarded to J. T. Constant of Lawrence, while the plumbing and heating will be done by A. D. Jacobson of Kansas City, Mo. The total cost of the job will be well within the $55,000 amount appropriated in February, 1936.
Former Bids Too High
Some time ago bids for the contracts were refused because they were too high. J. T. Constant was able to offer a suitable bid by eliminating such features as the mezzanine in the basement and other small items. The construction will take about four months to complete.
Since 1932, the museum has been opened but a few times for exhibitions of Bernard "Poco" Frazier's dioramas. These exhibitions have always been confined to part of the lower floor. The greatest part of the museum's display is stored at various places on handmade deteriorating because of dust and moisture. Rats were found to have eaten much of the material stored in the stadium. The original value of the collection was approximately $500,000. Vand'a l'dris broke into the first floor of the museum in December, 1935, and did considerable damage.
About four years ago the interior of the museum was remodeled by the Constant company. At that time the walls were reinforced and the floors
Walls and Floors Fixed
After the construction work is completed, it will be some time before the museum is sufficiently reorganized for opening. Three men worked seven years to set up the complicated floor arrangement, now completely disorganized. When reopened, Dyche museum will once be an active part of the University, instead of the nest for pigcens and bats that it has been for the past six years.
Buildings and Grounds Prepared for Spring

"It is difficult to grow grass when it is continually being trampled upon," explained A. C. Eelson, gardener foreman of the University. "It will take a good pole vaulter or high jumper to take this fence."
Republicans To Meet
There will be a meeting of the Young Republican Club, March 8. in the Pine room, at 8 p.m.
Another improvement being made on the Campus is the cleaning from the gutters of leaves and debris collected during the winter. In pre-weather conditions, the spring rains the roof of the Journalism building is being repaired.
Action on Upper House Calendar Definitely Drops Probe Resolution Until the Next Session in January: Sen. Payne Ratner and Sen. Don Allen Lead Opposition Activity
By Charles Alexander, c'38 and Harry Hill, c'40
Definite action on the Muir-Carper resolution relating to subversive activities of various organizations in the state was taken last night when Senator Claude Bradney of Columbus, president pro tem of the senate, moved to strike the resolution from the senate calendar.
The motion was passed without objection.
By dropping the measure from its calendar, the senate definitely killed any possibility for legislative investigation more
Chancellor Says-the legislature convenes in regular session next January, and took an additional step toward realization of its desires to adjourn the special session at noon today.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, expressive pleasure in the implied confidence of the students and teachers made the following statement:
"Of course we are gla ad opposition in the senate mounted steadily and it became doubtful if the resolution would pass anyway. Great credit is due the press and the student body. The daily newspapers were almost unanimous and it is doubtful if the press of any other state would have shown such an unstanding and sympathetic attitude.
'Grateful to Kansan'
"The student body was united, and their representatives made a deep impression on the legislature, especially on the senate committee. Senators Don Allen and Michael Led the Senate fist superbly."
"We are especially grateful to the University Daily Kansas for its fine work. I hope the paper will continue to republish the Kansas editorials to the end that record may be made complete.
"The essential information concerning radical activities at the University of Kansas is already in the hands of the Regrents' committee. Our position is that the University of Kansas of the state and the people have a right to know the truth."
Regents' Investigation Requested
"In pursuance of this policy, the University made a preliminary investigation and gathered much information. Believing it would be too difficult would be less exposed to criticism, I requested an investigation by the Board.
"The Regents' committee members are familiar with the Don Henry documents. Mr. Charles F. Scott, an alumni member of the Regents' committee, is a professor of the testimony and his interpretation of the whole situation."
Student Council Fills Vacancies
The Men's Student Council last night went through the formality of electing two P.S.G.L candidates to fill council vacancies.
The voting was superficial in that it was certain to result in the election of the League candidates. However, Pachacamac submitted two nominees, each of whom received five votes (the Pachacamac representation at the meeting) as against 13 for the P.S.G.L. men.
New members chosen are: Tony Immel, 138, as representative of the School of Law; and Ernest Leaves e40, as president of the solemnia

Listed under general orders on the senate calendar since it was reported favorably from the senate ways and means committee Thursday, the resolution had been held back by two days of debate on an amendment of the conservancy bill.
Senate Action Unexpected
Action on the resolution was expected Saturday but was postponed by lengthy discussion of an income tax bill. Senator Bradeney then said the measure would receive definite action yesterday. Dropping of the measure from the calendar had been considered a possibility but was unexpected. This course was taken when senate leaders were faced with the challenge to Governor Huxman's social security legislation, for which the special session was called, in order to facilitate adjournment today.
This action of the senate was indicated yesterday afternoon when Senator Bradney, chairman of the calendar committee, passed over the resolution in the routine of general order.
Ratner, Allen Lead Opposition
"The committee decided the measure concerning the investigation of the state institutions was not an emergency question and did not have any special session," Senator Bradney told a Kansas reporter yesterday.
Senators Don Allen, of Valley Falls and Payne Ratner, of Parsons had been leading the opposition activity in the senate and were prepared to oppose the measure should it pass. The House would body for amendment and voting.
The Skovagard-Warren senate resolution introduced in the senate simultaneously with the Muir-Carper resolution in the house was dropped from the calendar over the weekend. If the house would have sent the Senate it would have been sent to the Governor for his signature or veto.
The house had passed the resolution with a 92 to 4 vote after a dramatic introduction to the lower legal body by Donald Murt of Anthony.
Action on the resolution by the senate climaxed more than a week of activity at the University following a sudden renewal of investigative legislation brought about by the passing of the measure in the house.
Thirteen to Topeka
Asking a fair and impartial investigation, if any, a committee of 13 student leaders spent two days last week in Topeka conferring with legislative leaders. Wednesday the group contacted senior leaders in the district to express their attitude at the upper house concerning the proposed investigation.
Three of the committee, Quentin Brown, chairman; Don Voorhees, c'38; and Martin Maloney, gr, returned Thursday to appear at a hearing on the measure in the senate ways and means committee.
Previously, two other committees had been chosen following a mass meeting of students Sunday. Feb. 20, in the union building, Members of the Student Senate selected the committee to represent the student body in Topeka.
WEATHER
Kansas: Partly cloudy Tuesday and Wednesday; somewhat warmer Tuesday.
