LAWRENCE, Kas. The end of the Big Six basketball season is nearly three weeks off. but the race is shaping itself to a point at which it is possible to speculate as to the outcome. Kansas, with seven victories and no defeats, has been at the head of the list all season, but has three goodly hurdles yet to leap. The crucial game will be that with Ne braska at Lincoln, Feb. 28. If Kansas wins that, the champion ship is the Javhawkers. If the Huskers win then Kansas must win both from Oklahoma and from Missouri, or profit by a Sooner overturning of the Huskers. other wise, Kansas will tie for first, or even place second if the breaks go wrong. Even a three way tie for first is possible, but that would require Kansas to lose its three remaining games, Oklahoma to win all its four remaining contests, and that situation, of course would make Nebraska split its final two. Kansas also has a nonconference game on the schedule with Wash burn when the Javhawkers will be seeking their nineteenth vie tory in the twenty-one games played during their frequent con tests with the lehabods since 1906, The two victories registered Dy S3J u--t coachof ABaskctBalU 1 .2 -" PLAYS THE CAME LIKE.

The last victory was scored when Washburn dedi cated its new field house in the 1928-29 season. Again a free throw decided the game which ended 25-24. The closest game m several years was played last year in the Washburn gym and it was only in the latter part of the game that Kansas rallied leaving the Blue and White on the short end of a 33-27 score.

"Extend my regards to the stu dents of the university and .vish them luck in their buttle for the Big Six basketball title," cheered Ethel Barrymore Colt, in her sil very eastern accent to a Nebras kan reporter Thursday afternoon. The vouthful theatrical sensa tion who made her Lincoln stage i debut as the leading lady in "Ac- j cent on Youth" at the Libeitv the- ! ater last night, indicated keen de-1 licht when questioned as to any particular hobby or amusement, and stated that her chief joy was j in playing or watching a "good;.iacK Barry wun it points basketball game." The youngest member of the re nowned family of stage artists is by no means the sophisticated, se rious type of personality which one might expect of an individual in her position. Rather, the youthful heiress to the family tradition is a carefree person who herself could rightly qualify as a college coed. The first part of her education was spent in the Notre Dame con vent in Philadelphia, she atatcd, but her interest in school extended only so far as to whether she was going to make the hockey or bas ketball teams. "I had no idea of what I should like to do in life, and when I left the convent I didn't know whether I wanted to be a nun or a fire man. Because 1 was Interested in foreign languages I went abroad and spent my next two years of study In France and Italy. The school life in the finishing schools which I attended there was so different from universities of America that it is almost impossi ble to compare them." she stated. "In Italy we traveled from place to place as we studied the differ ent stages of the course In order ui ... i.k .t ik. .ii. thP nartlciilnr event actually look n ..... r .. ' place. When querrled as to wnetner her education was centered about dramatics, Miss Colt stated that she hadn't even considered such a career until a :ew amateur per formances made her believe that she might have a chance to go on the professional stage. She tried it once and "here I am." Ana "altho I am not intimately acquainted with either of my famous uncles, I probably know them as we'l as the average indi vidual knows his uncles or aunts," she stated.

The Huskers bettered three Big Six conference records in the Kan sas meet. They won all nine first places in the Kansas meet, and all but three of the second places. They conceded a first place to the Kansas State team only in the div ing event. Not much is known of the prowess of Carleton. except that they have bowed to Iowa State. Glyndon Lynde. a senior from Hartington, and Big Six record holder in the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes, is the high point man of the Nebraskans so far. He has collected 32 points in the three meets so far, gathering his points in the free style dashes and swim ming with the medley relay team.

I ft ,A k Phi Gams Move Ahead With Easy Victory Over Xi Psi Phi. Major upset of Thursday games was Sigma Nu's loss to Alpha Tau Omega, 16 to 14, in a game filled with thrills that took three overtime periods to decide. At the end of the half, the Sigma Nu quintuplet was leading 11 to 8, but In the second half the boys of Sigma Nu could not locate the hoop however much they tried. Sigma Nu had the ball iin its possession approxi mately two-thirds of the time, but could not cash In on their many breaks, while the A. T. (). crack squad of hoopsters made nearly each attempt count for two points. The three extra periods were crammed with careful play, as the game meant much to both Greek letter teams. Sigma Nu was the heavy favorite, and like the Alpha Tan Omega quint slipped in to nab an important victory in the 1936 intramural contests. Outstanding Victors. For the victors it was Hob Raincy, Dick Cullen, and Don Shurtluff who were especially outstanding. For the losers, Thomas, Sleeves, Campbell, and Munn tried their best to bring home the bacon. Phi Gamma Delta by virtue of their 24 to 9 win over XI Psi league five, and will now bid for the class A championship. Scherer and Peterson proved too much for the Xi Psi Phi group and the other basketeers of Phi Gam. Barb games played Thursday night were shadowed by one gTeat walkaway. The Panthers romped, trounced and ran rough shod over the Bristols by the tune of0 to 2. "Wild Bill' Callihan lived up to his nickname and rang the scoring bell for ten field goals and one charity shot, totaling 21 of his team's points. Charley Brock also got "hot" at. swishing them thru the net to tally seven field goals and one free' toss. Shindo ac counted for three more field goals. There just wasn't any stopping the Callihan-Brock combination for the Bristol cagesters. Four Barb Forfeits. Four forfeits were made by barb basketball organizations. Pal club forfeited to the Hillyer crew, A. C. B. C. forfeited to Bruner, Richards and Smiley forfeited to Stratford, and Barbarians forfeited to Clip pers No. 1. The Ramblers beat the Y. M. C. A. group 19 to 4 with Marvin topping the scoring with five points. Goff, hitting the hoop for thi-ee field goals and two gift shots, led the Tophats to a 10 to 9 victory over the Bluejays. Clip pers No. 2 won out over the Ag Cafeteria cagesters 13 to 9 with Lord winning scoring honors with four field goals. Interest in the games was at its peak last night as indicated by the great number of rabbid rooters who turned out to cheer on their favorites to victory. six corns' RULES Representatives to Meet at! University of Kansas, Feb. 28-29. LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 20. Faculty representatives of the Big Six schools will meet at the Uni versity of Kansas, Feb. 28 and 29, for the purpose of revising and recodifying the rules of athletic competition in the conference. The last printing of the rules and reg ulations was in October, 1931, since which time there have been nunaer- Doirt Let Your Date Be the One Without a Corsage Frey & Frey Florists 1338 0 St 6928 fo)o)M frwsJlt s r cre'FORLCNG VV 7 M Mh ous changes and Interpretations. It is intended to have the rules re stated in the form now desired by the governing body. One of the suggested changes to be discussed was offered some years ago by the University of Kansas, providing that the present eligibility rule which requires an athlete to have completed (with any passing grade) 27 hours of scholastic work in the previous two semesters, to be changed to require completion of less hours, but with a higher scholastic grade. The standards of athletic eligi bility of other conferences will be considered, as will also those en dorsed Nov. 21, 1935, by the Na tional Association of State Uni versities. Faculty representatives of the Big Six schools are: Kansas State, Dr. H. H. King, chairman; Iowa State college, Dr. H. D. Bergman, secretary; Nebraska, Dean T. J. Thompson; Missouri. Prof. Samuel B. Shirky; Oklahoma, Dr. E. D. Meacham; Kansas, Dean George C. Shaad. CAMPUS COP SAYS STUDENTS NEARLY PERFECT IN 1936 "The best bunch of students that we have had in years" is what the campus policeman, Sgt. L. C. Regler, pronounces the 1936 crop of Nebraska students. "We have less drinking here now than at any time since I came to this campus nine years ago." Of the 41 persons arrested on charges of being intoxicated by the university police, only four were students, an all time record. At mixers and other university affairs, there are almost no dis turbances caused by students, ac cording to Regler. Outsiders ara the only trouble makers, and these have been prevented for the most part from attending student dances. The system on the agri cultural campus, of forcing coup les to produce student Identifica tion cards before entering a uni versity sponsored affair, is espec ially effective in preventing dis turbances.
