Game Friday Will Probably Decide Race
Sooner-Jayhawk Tilt IIs
-All Important as Teams
Are Tied for Lead, Fat
Ahead of Rest.
The Jayhawkers play their most important basketball game of the season Friday night at Norman against the Oklahoma Sooners. The game will probably decide the conference championship race, as Kansas and Oklahoma are tied for first place in the Big Six at the present time with no other team in a threatening position.
Oklaham will go into the game with everything in its favor, but the Jawhackers figure to make it a battle. "Undoubtedly Oklaham has the edge, but Kansas has the underdog determination," is the way Coach F. C. Allen describes the situation.
Oklahoma will be playing on its home floor, which is usually a considerable advantage. The game is expected to draw the largest crowd in Oklahoma basketball history, and arrangements are being made for seating more than six thousand spectators.
The sophomoric Sooners defeated Kansas in their previous meeting this year, and are confident they can do it again. With regard to height, Oklahoma's center, Mullen, is 6 feet 5 inches tall, whereas Kansas' tallest player is Pralle, 6 feet 21/4 inches. Mullen counted 10 points against Nebraska and 11 against Kansas State last week.
Main worry for Doctor Allen is the Sooners' scoring power. The Jayhawk mentor fears that Oklahoma may collect more points than Kansas can hope to match. In six games Oklahoma has scored 57 points more than have the Jayhawkers. Kansas has a better record than the Sooners on defense, but not as good comparatively, having limited its opponents to only 42 less points than have the Sooners.
The injury jinx struck the Crimson and Blue quintet last week in the form of an injury to Dick Harp, first-fstring sophomore guard. Harp's left hand was kicked in a scrimmage Thursday and although no bones were broken, he still sure that he has been unable to use it in workouts since then. Wayne Nees, sophomore guard, has been filling in at Harp's place in practice.
It is expected that Harp's hand will be all right by time for the game, but if it should not be, Kansas will be severely handicapped.

Kansan Snorts Editor
Gene (Topeka Capital) Kemper says he reads where Delmar (Hutchinson News) Curry looks ahead and sees trouble for critics who would pick all-big Six basketball guards. Kemper goes ahead to tell Curry to ask something hard, as he (Kemper) knows the answer. Praelle and Parsons, he says, are the class of the Big Six guards.
Now while we aren't in a position to cast reflections on Mr. Kemper's ability as a judge of basketball talent, and while we think that Praille undoubtedly the class of them all, and while we think Parsons is also a good guard, still we must ask what is to be done with Martin and Mesch of Oklahoma, Blaink of Missouri, Lobiger and Halastad of Missouri, Cleveland of Kansas State and Harp of Kansas. All of these guards have been more or less outstanding in conference play and all have undeniably stood out as important me to their team.
Especially have Martin, Mesch and Blahnik stood out, and it will be hard to disregard any of them. In the other positions there is not the large number of outstanding players fighting for conference honors.
Undecided on Forwards
Outstanding forwards are few McNutt and Walker, Oklahoma first-year men, have set a torrid pace for their first season. No Kansas State forward has merited serious mention this year, as also is the case at Iowa State. Nebraska has Amen to offer, but he has been far from consistent, and personally, we would put the Cornhuskers in the same category with Kansas State and Iowa State. Missouri has Harvey, a sophomore who has been developing into he he has developed confidence. The same is true of Ebling, Kansas' first-year man, who has been developing into one of the loop's stars as he has developed confidence. However, his nervousness in his first few games may have cost him much deserved conference mention.
Wesche May Be Center
As for center, there is, in our opinion, not an outstanding pivot man in the conference with the possible exception of Wesche, Kansas State. Wesche has been scoring rather consistently, and two "hot" nights have given him an excellent scoring-average. Schmidt, Kansas, has been a steady team player, and is corking on defense, but all-star pickers are prone to forget the less brilliant appearing defensive man in favor of the more publicized "high scorer." Mullen is another player with great ability, and classification. Nebraska, Iowa State, and Missouri are not able to furnish a center worth mentioning, unless it is upon reputation established in last's year play. All star pickers are also prone to this fault and some of them might mention Ebaugh, Nebraska, and Brown, Missouri, on sor
Praile Still
Tied for Scoring
Leadership
After considerable shuffling of leaders in the Big Six scoring race last week, Fred Pralle, high scoring Jayhawker guard, still remains in a tie with Blahnik, Iowa State guard for first place, although many coaches have not court appearance since last Monday night.
McNatt of Oklahoma, topping the list of conference scorers last Wednesday, with an average of 12 points, dropped to third place. Blahnik, formerly tied with Pralle, dropped in 13 points against Kansas State to berth himself into the number one berth for a while, but his 10 points against Nebraska last night, dropped him back into a tie with Pralle.
While Blahnik elevated his scoring level at the expense of the Kansas State cagers, Wesche, a Wildcat ace, poured 18 points through the Cyclone hoop to move from seventh up to fifth.
Parsons, Nebraska guard, made a big climb with his 17 points against Iowa State last night. This made his average 10.75 and put him in fourth place. Amen, senior Husker forward, was held scoreless by Missouri, and scored only 4 points against Iowa State last night. This moved him down to a tenplace tie with Martin, Oklahoma guard.
Harvey, sophomore Tiger forward, scored 15 points against Nebraska. Saturday, to boost his average to 74, he earned a position a notch to seven place.
Ebling, sophomore Kansas forward, took advantage of the recent searing laps of Amen and Martin to move into ninth place even though Kansas has not played since a week ago.
It is interesting to note that five of the first nine scorers are sophomores.
Following are the 11 conference leaders and their records up to date;

of a last year's hangover
In our opinion, it will be well for the all-pickers to start from scratch, forgetting the listed centers, and shift one of the outstanding guards to this position. One of the guards undoubtedly could hold the pivot position in good shape under the new rules.

Glenn To Race Tonight:
In Baxter Mile Saturday
904
Glenn Cunningham, the cream of the crop for the present indoor season and the most consistent, if not best, miler of all time, will continue to track realm tonight in the Bishop Koele mile at Providence, R.I.
Tonight's appearance will serve as a warm-up for the famed Baxter mite Saturday night at the New York A.C. meet in Madison Square Garden. In 1835 the flying Kansan stepped off 11 laps on the Garden track in 4:09.8 for his best time in the Baxter mite.
Archie San Romano, a fellow Kansan, who has not been competing recently due to a spike wound, will be sufficiently recovered again to match strides with his barrel-chested New York Curb Exchange team mate.
After running a 4:15.2 mile Friday night on the Seventh Regiment armory's unbanked track, Cunningham domned his spikes in Boston the day before. He walked a mile ever in that city. Cunningham was clocked in 4:10 flat.
