The planned measure for fulfillment of the program, he said, he would urge upon the new Congress, and ask the immediate assistance of the several states. In case congress refuses to put through measures deemed necessary, he said he would then seek the broad emergency powers he had referred to. Roosevelt Heady to Help He said, however, he hoped the normal balance between the executive and legislative authority might be maintained. "But it may be an unprecedented demand and need for undelayed action may call for a temporary added departure from that normal balance in the environment," the new President continued. "I am prepared under my constitutional duties to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require. These measures or such other measures as Congress may build out of its expertise shall seek, within my constitutional authority, to arring to a speedy adoption."

KANSAS ANNEXES THIRD CONSECUTIVE TITLE Big Six Basketball Selection Is Made by Sports Editor Johnson and Schaake Place on Mythical Cage Team by Kansan Staff Member COMPETITION IS CLOSE By Chiles Coleman Kansan Sports Editor First Team Second Team Johnson, K. (C) F Cooper, M. Beck, Okla. F Wells, K Wagner, M. C Dalton, KSC Schanke, K. G Browning, Okla Kufok, N. G Skradski, KCS (C) One of the most thrilling races in the history of the Big Six ended Friday night when the Kansas Jayhawkers defeated Oklahoma to clinch the title for the third year in succession. Every time in the conference at some time or another was noteworthy, Kansas and Oklahoma fought it out for first place, winning game after game. Missouri played the role of giant-killer, defeating both of the leaders. Kansas State lost four conference games and then won four in the league. The race, boasts of victories over Oklahoma, and Missouri, two of the leaders. Probably the most difficult selection to make is that of first team center. Johnson, of Kansas, and Wagner, of Missouri, are two pivot men who were really great basketball players. They cannot be ignored on any all-star team. Johnson and Wagner are on the top tippie for Forrest C. Allen's championship five, is essentially a forward, going to that position both on offense and defense after the jump. Because of this, and the fact that the Missouri pivot man consistently outjumped him when they met, Johnson is placed at the top, and Wagner is given the very berth. Captainey to Johnson The captainship of the mythical fives goes to Johnson without dispute. **H** possesses the necessary physical ability and the outstanding qualities of team play and leadership that combine with the charisma of Andy Beck, diminutive Oklahoma forward, is chosen as Johnson's running mate. Beek is a splendid flood man, a sure passer, and dribler, and a deadly shot, Quick-thinking and ex-actly in all around ability has made him one of the standings players for the past two years. The guards, Steve Hokuf, of Nebraska, and Elmer Schake of Kansas, are a pair of real stars, Hokuf, the mumultity of the Corrushke squad, was born at this time. He and his game this season has shown no letdown. He plays smart, clever basketball on the defense, and has several times led his team in scoring. Schake has for two seasons stepped over all opposition, assembled a reputation as one of the hardest men to score on in the Big Six. He is cool under fire, and although he does not have the point-getting ability of Hokuf, his hacks usually come just after Wells Wins Forward Berth Wells, Kansas, and Cooper, Missouri, are two forwards who lacked only consistency to become first team choices. The Missouriian's play this year has not been up to the standard he set last umong the best in the conference next season. The lanky lanky Hawker is a real ball hawk, a good defensive player, and is developing an unnering basket eye b. Unquestionably the best center in the conference, with Johnson and Wagner out of the way, is Dalton, of Kansas State. Not a consistent scorer, he never is an excellent floor man, a gooduser, and a strong defenselayer. Sandraki, the Kansas State captain and guard, is awarded the leadership of the second team on the strength of a fine three-year record. Originally a rookie, she has given this team her sacrificing his scoring chances to bolster up and steady his team's play. The other guard, Browning, of Oklahoma, is also a sophomore who shows much potential, yet only can contribute a regular position. Coach McDermott's live.

SOONERS WIN FINAL GAME Oklahoma Defeats Huskers in Ragged Game by 38-27 Score Lincoln, March 4—(UP) - Nebraska University was handed a 38 to 27 drubbing here tonight by Oklahoma in the final basketball game of the Corrihusker schedule. Both teams played ragged basketball. Nebraska, after a spurt in the first half, did most of its playing just inside the mid-court line and attempted but few basket. Oklahoma shots, except for those by Rock and Bross, were wild and inaccurate.

Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers won their third consecutive Big Six basketball title Friday night by defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 35-20 in a thrilling game before 3,452 spectators. Led by Bill Johnson and Elmer Schaak, who were playing their last two games uniform, the Jayhawkers out-fought their opponents and displayed a brawn of basketball that was unbeatable. It was Johann-Sean night, and the two veterans played superb basketball in their final game. Although he left the game on personal fouls late half, Johnson turned in a beautiful finish with kets and three charity tosses, all at crucial points, and held the key position on the Kansas defense. Schanke, in addition to limiting Andy Beck, the Sooner star, to a single basket, tossed in three free throws and once slipped the Sooner defense for a pretty setup. Wells Is Aggressive The two veterans of the squad were nard press, however, to outshine Coach Allen's other regulars. Dick Walls turned in the best game he has played all season, leading the scoring with 11 points. The tall forward was the most aggressive man on the floor in recovering the ball from the backboards. Carl Bern, who replaced Goronel Campos in the first half, played steady basketball points to the offense. Horriness made two nice huddles, hudging the Sooner defense to get loose for setups both times. The game opened slowly, with both same presenting a tight defense. Gray cored first, netting a free throw, but faintiated by dropping in a long hit. Schuki tied the score with a ree throw, only to have Anderson's team hold up. Schuki faintiate give the Sooner a 5-2 lead with 9 minutes of the first half gone. Johnson then broke loose and counted a pair of field goals. Benn ran under the basket to cage another, and immediately tossed a long pass to Kearns. He passed the hoop. Kansas continued the offensive drive, led by Johnson and Wells, with Harrington contributing a setup. Just before the half ended, LeCrone fouled Johnson, who made both tries for the Jayhawks into an 18-8 lead. Jawahar Riley in Second Half Brosse, Oklahoma forward, connected for two points immediately after the second half started, but Benn, Wells, and Schaake scored in rapid succession to give Kanaan a 15-point advantage. The defense was made of free throws by Schaake, baskets by Wells and Harrington, and Benn's charity tops the Kanaans at danger. With the score 35-19 and seven minutes to play, Oklahoma began throwing the ball at the basket from all angles, but the Kansas defense hurried the shots and made them ineffective. A basket by Beck and five free throws led to the scoring of 35, the final score of 38. The game was somewhat rough, but most of the 29 fouls called were the result of over-axiunious rather than deliberate roughness. Johnson committed his four personal with six minutes left to play, just a few moments after LeCrôte, the Seconde pivot and left the game for the same reason. The crowd gave Johnson a five-minute ovation as he left the floor. Final Gun Stops Sonner Head Although Kansas was never head after the first 10 minutes of the game, the defense could keep the ball. Only close guarding and cool defensive play enabled the Jayhawkers to hold their lead. In the last 5 minutes of the game, the Oklahoma players swarmed all over the court, intercepting Kansas passes, and using a fast breaking off-the-break to unset an uneasy time until the final gun. The game marked the end of the season for Kansas. Oklahoma went on to Lincoln to wind up its schedule against Nebraska last night.
