Seeking their third consecutive Big Six basketball championship, the Kansas Skyhawks will take the floor to win in the game. The Oklahoma Sooners in the game that will decide the title winner for 1933. The encounter will wind up the season on Kansas, while the Sooners go to Oklahoma tomorrow to finish their schedule.
The largest crowd of the season is expected to witness the battle for first honors. Unusual attention has been attracted to the two teams all year because of the neck and neck race they have staged since the first few games. Both have led the conference several times, has dropped lower than third place.
Bill Johnson, all-conference center last year, and Elmer Schakeh, veteran guard and football star, will be playing their last game in a Kansas uniform this evening. Tonight has been Johnson-Schakeh night in their honor.
An all-American center in high school, Johnson has for three years been the maintainer of Kansas basketball teams, and thus far has never won a Big Ten championship nor won a Big Six championship. The lanky Oklahoma City player has won his place among the great of Kansas basketball players and outstanding players in the country.
Schauke, playing his second year of varsity basketball, has been one of the most accomplished defense men. His steadily play has made him much-feured by Big Six
Dr. Allen went his charges through a light workout last night in preparation for the game. Wells and Johnson, who have been suffering from minor injuries, were reported to be in good readiness to answer the opening whistle.

Have Chance for Clear Title
Have Chance to Clear the Skies
A Kansas victory tonight would give the Jayhawks a title to the title, reducing the outcome of the game at Lansing tomorrow. If Okahama should win from the Jayhawks, however, Coach Allen's team could tie for first place in the event of a Nebraska victory over the Sooners.
There is little possibility of predicting the outcome of tonight's lift. Both teams are in first class condition, and with the championship in sight, will undoubtedly play their best basketball of the season. Oklahoma holds a victory over the Jayhawks at Norman earlier this week. And the difference is this is the fart that Kansas has not lost an Oklahoma game at Lawrence for four years.
Both teams dropped a game to the Missouri Tigers on the trick court at Kansas State, where they came at the hands of Iowa State in the first game of the season, but the Cyclones have not won a conference game since 2014. Their victory must be classed as a fluke.
The game will begin promptly at 7:30 tonight. Ernest Quigley, veteran linebacker for the Jacksonville Jaguars, begins at 6:15, two picketed teams from the Kansas freshman squad will play a preliminary game. Athletic teams play as well as to the title battle.
