Two Jayhawkers Are Given Places On Big Six Team
Daily Kansan Names Ebling and Harrington Among Best Conference Basketteers
In keeping with the custom which dictates that at the end of every sports season all-star teams be picked to represent the most able contestants for the season, the Daily Kansan herewith presents its selections for the Big Six basketball season which ended last night with Kansas' defeat of Missouri. The selections are official only in so far as they are official. Any person who disagrees may pick his own teams, placing upon them whomever he chooses.
The following selections have been made upon what is believed to be a fair basis, taking into consideration not only the scoring and defensive abilities of a player, but his worth to his team as a whole as well.
First Team
F-Ebling, Kansas
F-Bross, Oklahoma
C-Harrington, Kansas
C-Browning, Oklahoma
G-Milner, Kansas
Second Team
F-Wells, Kansas
F-Lunney, Nebraska
F-Cwegner, Iowa State
G-Jorgenson, Missouri
G-Grey,
Third Team
F-Graham, Kansas State
F-Cooper, Missouri
F-Dunson, Kansas State
G-Boyd, Nebraska State
The first team selection, for the most part, would be agreeable to any close follower of the sport, with the possible exception of Harrington at center. Most writers and fans would agree that Ebbing, Bross, Browning, and Miller would deserve places. Some persons might prefer their own position. State's sophomore, at center. In a recent Associated Press press, writer voted to do that.
Harrington, however, seems deserving of a place on the silt-star first team. The only three-year man on the team, he exhibited a coolness under fire and a leadership that made him one of the reasons why the Jayhawners were able to win their fourth successive Big Six title in the most decisive manner in which a team has won since 1923. Harrington was listed at forward and guard in the startling lines, but in every game this season he shifted to center after the tip-off and played that position. His was essentially the center post. Werner was a capable man who kept his team in the running, but his leadership was not as great as Harrington's.
Ebling Takes Scoring Honors
Elling and Bross, the inevitable forward selections, were to their respective teams the spark plugs. Fighting all season long for the conference leadership the Sooner and Jayhawk turned in some of the most brilliant scoring exhibitions that the Big Six conference has seen Bross' total of 22 points in a single conference game was a record until it was eclipsed by Ebling's greater scoring punch of 24 points against Bross own team. The Jayhawker ace tied the Big Six individual scoring set by Churchill of Oklahoma in 1929 with 124 points for the season. Bross scored 109
Making himself high score in every game of the season except the Kansas-Nebraska game at Linein, Ebbing scored in combined and non-conference play a total of 219 points, 36 more points than Bill Johnson, great Kansas pivot man for three years, was able to score in the same number of games last year.
Browning Outstanding Guard
Bud Browning, Sooner guard, was perhaps a more valuable man to his team than the diminutive Bross who outscored him. Playing guard, Browning tallied 99 points to finish third among the scorers. His leadership was outstanding, and the Oklahoma offensive was always crippled when the Sooner star was out. He was the outstanding guard of the conference. Denver Miller, Missouri captain, was on a shaded beard, while Louis Brown, Miller was significantly high schooler for his team though he was a guard, and his spiritual play led his matents into a series of late rallies which won several games for the Titers this year.
The second team selections are fairly obvious. Dick Wells was one of the main reasons the Kansas team, frequently composed mostly of sophomores, could fight coolly and steadily to another championship. Wells scoring punch was not what it was last year, but the bulky player's floor work and defensive tactics were unsurpassed by any player. Gordon Gray, the other Kanan on the

University Museum Has Remarkable Collection of Rare Fish-Eating Bats
The recent account in the Kansan concerning the addition of three specimens of the fish-eating bat, Pizonyx vivens, to the University of Nebraska collection has called attention to the fact that the University museum here has two specimens of this unusual animal, and that a University graduate, Dr. W. H. Burt, '26, is the recognized authority concerning its habits.
Burt, who is now Curator of Mammals of the Dickey College at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif., and who was a student assistant at the University museum as an undergraduate, as well as all-University honor student in 1926, visited the breeding grounds of Pizonyx early in January, 1932. By careful work he was able to secure a good series of specimens soon after they had fed and thus confirm the supposition that these

Gist Discusses Social Revolution
bats were fish-enters. He found it impossible to observe the bats in the actual process of feeding, but because of the strangely enlarged claws on the hind foot, and because of other structural modifications, it is supposed they feed on insects and small crustaceans on the sardines upon which they feed, kingfisher-lice, from the surface.
The bats were not known until 1900 when specimens were first collected. Since that time few scientists have been able to visit the region where they are confined—so far as known to three small islands in the Gulf of California and the adjoining coast in Mexico—until 1928 when the late Donald R. Dickey, scientist - philanthropist of Pasdecanas, visited the region seeking many specimens and studying the bats as much as possible. It was in the interests of the Dickey collection, that Burt carried on his studies in 1932 and since that time.
It was through Burt that the University acquired a skin with skull of the species last year, and a short time later a complete skeleton, the latter being especially valuable in mummus as bones are much less common than skins.
Within the last year, the University collection of bats has increased immensely until there is now about 1000 cataloged specimens, representing 57 species. This remarkable number places the collection among the first ranking museums of the country in the quantity of species and specimens represented, while the collection of bat skeletons is not equalled by any other museum.

Practice for "Hilarities"
Iusical Comedy Cast Begins Finna Week of Rehearsals'
The cast of the W.S.G.A. musical comedy, "Hilaries of 1934," is having a final week of rehearsals before the presentation of the comedy, March 12, 13 and 14.
The production is entirely in the hands of students. Jimmy Patterson, c34 and Stanley Horstman c35, wrote the book, and Tom Ryan, fa35 and Charles Houghton composed the musical score. The choruses, under the direction of Virginia Sterling, c34 and Ruth Pyle, ed35, have been practicing double time, going through their routines in the afternoon, and practicing with the entire cast at night.
The scenery has been made by Bill Gradendick, c' 37, Gene Hibbels, c' 34, Bill Mitchell, c' 37, under the direction of Prof. Allen Crafton. Although most of the sets are rather simple in keeping with the sceneries, they also attempt to depict actual campus scenes.
The review is made up of eight sketches which will be augmented by specialities in between. The sketches concern the University and student life, and all are treated in a humorous fashion.
The announcement of the admission to the show, reveals that it is the lowest price ever charged for a W.S.G.A. musical comedy. According to those in charge, it was thought that the increased patronage would justify the reduction in price.

KANSAS TRIMS TIGERS TO END 'HOOP' SEASON
Jayhawks Conference Winners for Fourth Year in Succession; M. U. Rally Falls Short
EBLING TIES RECORD
Harrington and Vanek Play Their Last Games in Kansas Uniforms
The Kansas basketball team rounded out a brilliant season last night by nosing out the Missouri Tigers 23 to 21 in a game which threatened to go into an overtime period. With little more than a minute to go the Tigers swiftly scored five points and advanced to within one goal of the Jayhawkers.
Kansas called time out when only 20 seconds remained and debated how best to stave off the Missouri rush until the gun. The Tigers went into the air for the tip and drove toward the goal, but the Jayhawkers held them off.
The crowd, nearly mad with excitement, roared as the players fought for the ball and it was finally knocked out of bounds just as the gun sounded. The finish of the Nebraska game on the same court was the only equal for the game in thrills.
Missouri Sent to Tie
Kansas strengthened claim to its fourth championship, while Missouri went into a tie with Oklahoma for second place.
Ray Ebling, leading conference scorer, who made 12 points for high scoring honors in equalled the all-time total of Oklahoma at 124 points in 1923.
The game started slowly and had progressed almost five minutes before Ebling started the scoring with a field goal. Wells and Harrington each contributed three points and Ebling added two more to complete the Kansas scoring. The first hair award with the best finish was given to Mets turned in two sensational goals, long shots which were his only scores of the game.
Second Half Faster
For the first time this season on the Kansas court two referees handled the game, and differences of opinion decided frequently following their decisions.
The second half brought faster and rougher action as the players reacted to the tension between the crowd and the officials. Thompson, Missouri substitute forward, looped four baskets, the last two of which came in the midst of the sensational Tiger spurt at the close of the game. He was high point man for the Tigers, and kept his team in the running with timely scoring.
It was the final game for Paul Harrington and Ernest Vanek.
The Tigers slowed up the game with aeir numerous long shots from well ut on the court. The ball often missed as backboard altogether.
In the preliminary match between the two freshman teams, the Purples were victorious over the Whites 30 to 15. Noble, Purple forward, was high scorer of the game with 12 points. Barber of the Greens led his team with 9 points.
