Kansas blasts
Big Six cage
LAWRENCE, Kas. One How
ard Engleman found Nebraska's
cage defense to his liking, Mon
day night, and blasted any pres
ent Husker Big Six title hopes
into a cocked hat as he led his
Kansas mates to a 44 to 38 con
quest here over Nebraska.
Mr. Engleman poured 22
points thru the nets and with
that went shooting high the
Jayhawkers lead in the confer
ence race. The Jays have now
four wins in five league starts,
while the Huskers dropped to
third place.
Don Fitz and Les Livingston
were powerless to stop the blond
Kansan as he potted 9 out of 17
shots from the field and four of
five free throws.
Big Al Randall netted 14
points for the Huskers, folowed
by Johnny Thompson with 8
and Don Fitz with 6 counters.
Coach Phog Allen's son, Bob,
aided the Jay total by slipping
8 points thru the Husker nets.
Kansas held a slight 19 to 18
half time, margin but the Jay
hawkers pulled away after the
intermission to salt away the ball
game.
The Cornhuskers will be idle
for the greater part of this
week that is until they in-

Pharmacy professor finishes
experiment on use of barbitals
Through ten successive nights,
during the last Christmas vaca

vigil in pharmacy beside cages
filled with rats added another
chapter to a
study into the
nature of bar
biturates. The
study was be

decade ago by
Dr. Harold G.

is now being
carried on here
under his di

barbiturates aa an antidote to cer

led into a far larger and more in

of the sex hormone to treatment
by drugs in the barbital family.
The between school Intensive
experiment carried on last Christ

which the drug is administered to

Missionary talks
at YW Vespers
The first regular YW Vesper
today are expanding the knowl
edge of the influence of the sex
hormone in connection with the
use of the barbitals, and on their
findings Hoick is basing the ex
tension or his own experiments.
The barbiturates are a type of
drug useful to medical science be
cause they induce a peaceful form
of anesthesia. They are also im
portant in their power to quiet
convulsions such aa those caused
by poisons. Used as a sedative,
responsible sources report that an
average of 2.200,000 dosea are
administered daily.
Tho he utilized a number of dif
ferent animals in his first experi
ments, Dr. Hoick soon found that
rata made the best subjects for his
particular iiudy. He discovered
that rata were especially suscepti
ble to fatal overdoses of certain
barbiturates.
The rata did not die immediate
ly, but seemingly recovered for a
few days only to die of pneu
monia. Further experiments
showed that the administration of
male hormones definitely in
creased resistance in both sexes
to the fatal influence of the drug.
Tho exhaustive search has been
made, no cases of human death
have been recorded as resulting
from the use of the drug. Dr.
Hoick is still working to discover

the total amount spent for the

That special services to
33,000 letter writers and 18,000
office callers on the agricultural
campus every year represents a
cost of $70,000 to the university
and a much greater saving to
the farmers of the state.
That the sale of product
grown for experimental pur
poses on the ag campus netted
for the state in 1940 a total of
$306,999.
That work done for state
agriculturists consisted last
year of 12,153 laboratory entries
in animal pathology, the iden
tification of 418 insects, the
study of 120 plant diseases, and
the completion of 75 analyses in
agricultural chemistry.
In this way Professor Filley, de
