Second Place Clash Tonight At Columbia
Kansas Needs a Victory Over Tigers to Stay In Threatening Position In Conference Race
A hopeful Kansas basketball squad last left night for Columbia, Mo. where it will meet Missouri's Tigers in an important conference game tonight. The second-place Jayhawks are expecting a real battle from the Nebraska team, with Nebraska, pre-season favorites to win the Big Six championship.
The lone Kansas loss was a 49-46 affair with Oklahoma, and since then the Jayhawkers have downed Iowa State and Kansas State. Dr. F. C. Allen is counting on the same lineup which defeated Iowa State in the last game—Ebing and Golay, forwards; Harp and Harp and Pralle, guards.
A victory for Missouri would put her in second place ahead of Kansas, who would drop to third. Missouri's only loss has been to Kansas State in a decided upset, and came the night after she had spilled dope all over Lincoln in outcoring the Cornhuskers.
In addition to the starters, the following men made the trip: Florel, Corlis, Reid, Durand, Johnson, Sullivan, Kappelman and Hunt.
The Tigers may be handicapped by the loss of their center and captain, Kenneth Brown, who was taken ill just before the K-State game. Brown is the only junior on a team of sophomores.
The probable lineups:
Missouri Kansas
Cooper F Eblin
Harvey F Golay
Brown or C Schmidt
Brown or C
Currence
Halsted G Harp
Lobsiger G Pralle
Henry Announces Grid Schedule
Officials: O. Cochrane (Kansas State) and M. G. Vole (Nebraska).
Three schools which were not on the 1937 schedule—Texas, Notre Dame, and George Washington—will be met this fall. Notre Dame was last played in 1935, with the Irish winning, 28-7, at South Bend. Previous Kansas-Nassau game games were played in 1904, 1932, and 1933.
The scheduling of a game with Washburn College to be played at Lawrence Oct. 8 completes the 1938 football schedule of the University. Nine games will be played, four at home and five away.
Kansas has met Texas and George Washington only once before on the gridiron. Texas was played in 1900 and defeated, 12-0. George Washington also lost to Kansas in their previous meeting, 7-0, in 1933.
The Jayhawks will have an attractive home schedule, meeting Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Washburn at Lawrence. The conference games with Nebraska and Wisconsin be especially outstanding games.
Four conference games in a row will be the assignment for the Jawahors, once they get started on Big Six play. Coach Ad Lindsay describes the schedule as "a tough schedule, but a well-arranged one." Ad likes the order in which the opposing teams will be met.
The complete schedule follows:
Oct. 1—Notre Dame at South Bend.
Oct. 8—Washburn at Lawrence.
Oct. 15—Oklahoma at Lawrence.
Oct. 22—Iowa State at Ames.
Oct. 29—Kansas State at Manah
Nov. 5—Nebraska at Lawrence.
Nov. 12—George Washington a
Nov. 24—Missouri at Columbia.

Recruiting of 5,000 Men for Battage Work Starts Soon
Britain Forms Defense Unit
United Press Staff Correspondent
London, Jan. 18, (U-PB)—Recruiting of 10 balloon barrage squadrons of 500 men each, designed to protect London against enemy air raids, will begin this spring. With the exception of those physically unfit for duty, all officers will be past 38 will be accepted for service. Officers will be drawn from personnel at least 32 years old.
Thus younger, fitter men are saved for active service in the field. The balloon barrage men will not have any marching or personal enclosure and must be armed the ordinary soldier, and food and shelter should always be available. But they must be able to withstand the rigors of weather while on duty in the open air with balloon barrage mobile units, as most do.
Equipment Nearly Complete
The balloon barge for London is almost completed as far as balbooms and equipment are concerned. provincial cities may follow in time.
The balloons are hydrogen-filled. They are attached to winches mounted on trucks and can be quickly hauled up and down. They would be moved frequently, depending on condition of wind and weather. An enemy would never climb to day to dep where to expect them.
They cannot be seen at night or in poor visibility, in just such conditions as enemy raids might be expected. An airplane would be wrecked should it touch the steel by which the balloon is tethered.
The balloon barrage scheme of defense has one serious shortcoming. The modern bomber can carry a bomb load to 25,000 feet; the balloon barrage cannot yet be raised to this height. It is hoped that, as the plan is developed, this手援-cap will be overcome.
Ceiling Above 10,000 Feet
In the meantime, the balloon barrage can force enemy bombers to fly about 10,000 feet, which is well over the cover which cloud, fog, or murky conditions might afford. Thus the way is cleared for fast de-drifting, which operate with great difficulty in conditions of restricted visibility.
If a method is perfected whereby the balloon barrage can be raised to the "ceiling" of bombing planes, it may revolutionize ideas of air defense. Even in its present stage of development it is considered safer to form one of London's principal defences against air attack.
The line of balloons with their knife-like cables can also prevent low-flying bombing attacks, the type of attacks that bomber batteries are almost helpless.
Moscow, (Wednesday) —(UP) —The United States charge des affaires, Loy Henderson, expects to confer today with Mrs. Rubie Maric Rebeen so Philadelphia in her cell address, saying the government's formal admission that she and the man described as her husband are under arrest.

Guess we spoke too soon about Northwestern being the team this year in the Big Ten. Just saw in the morning's scores that Purdue upset the Wildcats. Goes to show we should have waited a little bit longer. At that, Northwestern still has a good chance for the title.
Got to talking about the No. 1 college team in the United States the other day. One of our assistants tried to pin us down to naming the team. We evaded the question by saying that that was too big an order, trying to sift all the fives in the country down to one.
Stanford or (lausitii) would be our first choice without giving the question much thought. However, Temple, conquerors of the Indians on their recent eastern invasion, cannot be disreared.
In the Middle West, Bradley Tech has one of the apparently strong teams, have defeated Nebraska and some of the Big Ten teams. As
Out on the coast, Stanford is undoubtedly tops, yet Southern California gave her a battle the other night in a game that must have been a thriller to watch. The final score was 4-3, but the teams faced field goals and 10 free throws—a total of 28 points—a mark far short of his 50-point night against Duquesne
yet it has not met defeat in the current season.
B baseball fans still talk about the deeds of Honus Wagner. Although he has reached an age of 63, he is still active in baseball. He is now high commissioner of semi-pro-baseball and is selecting the 768 district super-district tournaments throughout the United States in 1938.
While we are on the subject of past baseball heroes, we might mention that Tris Speaker is also connected with the semi-pro organization. He is director of the 48 state tournaments that are under sanction of the National Semi-Pro Baseball Congress.
Kansas ought to do better this year in basketball. Most of the members of last year's team are back in school, and a year of experience will
stand them in good stead. Praille should star in baseball as well as in basketball this year. Last summer Praille really "went to town" at third base for the Lawrence Ban Johnson. He was one of the leading hitters in the division, and broke up more than one game with a home run clout.
Did you stop to consider that Kansas had 40 points scored against her in the opening Big Sis game, and that the next two conference opponents were held to a combined total of 38 points?
Add for Pralle: Fred failed to score in his first college game, but has not been held scoreless since that time.
$20 Check Brings Charge
Springfield, Mo. Jan. 18, (UP)-
Sherman Yates, 42, was held in jail in here in default of $2,500 bond after arrangement last week before United States Commissioner Roy Arnold. Yates is charged with forging an endorsement to a federal check for $20,900, payable to a WPA worker.
Real Estate Men Will Meet
Wichita, Jan. 18—(UP) Real estate men from Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi.
souri, Arkansas, and Louisiana will meet here Jan. 28 and 29 to consider current real estate conditions, new developments in land use, home building, lessing, farm land sales and appraisal methods.
Utility to Expand
Detroit, Jan. 18.—(UP)—The Detroit Edison company today in its annual report announced plans for an 18 million dollar expansion program. The company said gross sales increased by 27 percent in 1920, and that power sales exceeded by 50 per cent those of the last pre-deprestation.

New York, Jan. 18. (UP) —John D. Rockefeller, je, announced tonight that he sought completion of Rockefeller Center's "Radio City" at a cost of approximately 12 million dollars. The proposal was announced as Rockefeller's continuing faith in the future of American busi-
