Sooners Second Best In Big Six
Oklahoma's Record in Nine Years' Conference Play Is Just Below That Of Kansas
Oklahoma's fire-engine basketball team, which opens the conference season against Kansas in Hoch auditorium here tonight, brings with it the reputation of being the second best team in the Big Six.
The Sooners rank second only to Kansas in the matter of games won and lost in Big Six competition, having won 52 and lost 44 since the beginning of conference rivalry in 1989. The Sooners have been boasting chiefly of Bill Martin, high-scoring guard, will undoubtedly be trying to improve that record.
Interesting facts of Oklahoma's Big Six history show that Coach Hugh McDermott's teams have rolled up a total of 3138 times in 96 games, only two less than Kansas, the team with the most investment of the game. The Sooners' game average is 32.7, a fraction of a point less than that of Kansas.
Oklahoma First Big Six Champs
Oklahoma won the first championship of the Big Six in 1929 with 10 victories and no defeats, and since then has finished or tied for second three times, third three times, and two different occasions—1950 and 1931.
As no school but Kansas has won the championship more than once, Oklahoma is also in a three-way tie for second place with Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa State in the championships—won column. Kansas State is the only school which has not closed a season in first place.
Oklahan enjoyed its best year against Kansas in 1930 when McDermott's born the championship. That year Oklahan took Kansas by scores of 27-25 and 40-25. In 1930 Kansas won both games, but during the next three years, while the Allen cagers were winning three of their four straight championships, Oklahoma held its own in breaking even each year. From 1954 through 1977, however, the Sooners have won 1 but 1 in 11 games from the Jay-hawkers.
In 1934 when Kansas took its fourth consecutive championship, the Jayhawkers bested Oklahoma in four games, two of which did not count in the Big Six standings. Then in 1935 when the old practice of the double round-robin was abolished, and all of the teams except Iowa State and Nebraska played 16 games; Kansas won three out of four.
Kansas almost walked through the first game that year in winning 50-23, as Ray Ebling and Dick Weils contributed 20 and 14 points respectively. Bud Browning, who exemplifies Coach McDermott's fast-break teachings very efficiently, was held to one point, but he came back the next night for 15 points and a Sooner victory 36-26. In the next game Ebing came through for 22 points as the Jayhawkers won 40-31. In the fourth and final game of this great series, Bud Browning closed

ail collegiate career by making 27 points for a new conference record, just two more than Ebling made in a game at Norman the year before. But Browning's running mates gathered only 15 points among them, and Dawson led with 18, while Kinsel led the Jayhawk scoring, while Wells and Kappelman got 9 each. So ended the four-game series between two scoring leaders.
28-26 Victory Last Year
Last year Kansas began the season with a surprise victory over Oklahoma in a see-saw game, 28-26. Bill Martin made a hard night of it for Kansas, collecting 6 field goals and 2 free tosses for high-season honors. Paul Rogers and Fred Praille led the Jahwayn attack with 8 and 7 points, respectively. Wellhausen and Praille paced Kansas to a 39-10 victory in the return battle on home grounds. This time Martin was held to one field goal. In that game Oklahoma made only one field goal in the first half, that coming in the last 10 seconds of the period.
Coach McDermott's current machine has had a few tume-ups, its most recent being a 50-10 victory over Rice Institute. Tonight's game, similar in many respects to those of 1935, again brings together two teams: Bill Malik and Fred Prille, in his last year of competition.
Twenty-eight Contestants Enter Fencing Tournament
Elimination matches were fought last night by 28 facets in the intramural fencing tournament at Robinson gymnasium. This was the first of a series of tournaments to be held this year.
Divided into two sections, 16 women and 12 men were entered. Division of the participants into these two groups was effected to bring about more evenly matched competition. Winners in each division will meet in a match to decide the winner of the tournament.
Featured at the tournament were two matches, the contests of one using sabers, and the others, dueling swords.
Judges were the fencing team Honorary referee was Dr. James Naismith. In charge of the Fencing Club, class, and team is Jim Raport

Reports from the fraternity concert and from students who witnessed the rehearsals in the afternoon indicate the orchestra will have little trouble winning the favor of dancers at the sophomore party to watch. The students hink's ability come from veteran Hill musicians, such as Bud Frank and Hank Martin, who have heard the band and believe its rhythmic arrangements will prove highly satisfactory to critical Campus dancers.
"The Prophet," a book written by Kahil Gibran, will be discussed at the "Ology" Commission meeting at 4:30 today, at Henley house.

She wants one and likes to wear it—Can you think of a reason why she should not have one for the party? Certainly not because of the cost!
Your florist bill need not be a large one even if you buy flowers several times a month.
Send A Corsage----
It orchids don't fit your budget, three perfect roses or a gay colored nosegay will do just as well. It's not the cost but the sentiment that counts. A few roses may be beautifully arranged and give the recipient just as much pleasure as a costly bouquet.
CORSAGES from a modern man will smooth over the most difficult social situation. Whether she would prefer flowers for her hair or her dress, it's a good idea to take the precaution that certainly ladylove is superstidious.
