came with five points of the
leaders.
Max Young converted a free
throw to end the Scarlet scoring
and from that time on the Huskers
played a stalling game being in
possession when the final gun
sounded.
Held Scores High.
As usual, it was lanky Sid Held
who took the scoring honors. He
hit from far out, under the basket
for six field goals and a free
throw for 13 pflints. His weakness
lay in his ability to convert his
free throws as he missed six out
of seven.
For the visitors, Bruce Holman
took scoring honors with eight
points followed closely by Hora
cek with seven. Hartman Goetze
hit for seven points and Les
Livingston along with Bob Hein
zelman both contributed six.
Kansas U. showed considerable
strength in their game against
Oklahoma as they downed the
Sooners by the top heavy score of
54.-32. Missouri downed St. Louis

will entertain the Tigers in their

The entire Big Six set-up in
cluding coaches, players, faculty
advisers and athletic advisers
combined are in the grip of a
controversy that has foundation-
rocking possibilities. . . On Jan
uary 3, Dr. H. H. King of Kan
sas State announced that Ralph
Tucker, Oklahoma's sophomore
dream eager, was "ineligible to
play in conference games."
This Started It
With this announcement the
Athletic Eligibility committee had
stuck its neck out for an at
tack on the part of Oklahoma that
rivals the Chicago fire for inten-
ity. . . To understand the action
which would, undoubtedly affect
Nebraska at some time during
the season, it might be a good
dea to look over the "charges."
Truly a Catch
Ralph Tucker, the lad in ques
tion, is in every sense a 'catch"
ana me sooners ao noi UKe to
do without his services. . . Tuck
is an 'A' student in ,his classes
and has a tenor voice that has
won him national recognition. .
He is, in addition, a wonder on
the maples of the basketball court.
whiz on the tennis court and
a demon on the golfing greens.
The Controversy-
Tucker came from Winfield,
Kansas, where he attended high
school and enrolled at Kansas
State. . . After seven weeks, he
suddenly declared his intention to
change and went down to Okla
homa. . . At the Sooner institu
tion,. Tucker was immediately
sensation, in fact, he developed
into one of the greatest basket
ball prospects in the history of
the midwest. . . Repeated pres
sure was brought to bear on the
authorities due to this sudden
switch and it brought on the Jan
uary 3 ruling.
The Ruling
Throughout Kansas, sports edi
tors with one Dan Partner in par
ticular, showing the way, the pres
sure was increased. . . The ruling
in question concerned migrant
athletes. . . Oklahoma soon regis
tered a protest stating that Tucker
"has proved himself to be an honor
student" . . . Another rule that ap
peared to be broken was the one
concerning a year's residence be
fore competition can being for the
athlete. . . With repeated thrusts
by Oklahoma, the Sooners gained
a right to have the case reviewed
by the entire committee instead
of a skeleton committee.
A Reversal-
Monday, the Big Six solont
gathered, Nebraska represented
by Dean T. J. Thompson, and
reversed the former ruling to
tome extent. . . They decided that
they would keep Tucker from play
iny more until Jan. 30, and that
after that date, if Kansas State
would consent, Tucker could play
Oklahoma Objects
The Sooners objected to this
ruling and issued the ultimatum
that they would continue to play
Tucker and offered to allow the
Big Six to investigate Tucker as
long and as intensely as they
wished and they were confident
that Tucker would stand up and
remain, eligible. . .
The Eay Way Out
As far as we are concerned, It
would cause much lest controversy
and fighting if the Sooners would
agree to play Tucker only after
the 30th of this month. . . This
would mean an allowance on Okla
noma's part but it also marks one
on the pjrt of the Big Six. . . It
looks like the easy way out.

LAWRENCE, Kas. The nar
row squeak the University of Kan
sas Jayhawks had in winning
their opening basketball game of
the season at Lawrence should not
be a cause for opposing quintets
becoming exuberant over their
chances of beating Dr. if. c Al
len's team on KU's home floor.
Records for the past six sea
sons show that the Jayhawks have
played many thrillers during that
period and that 94 percent oi tne
time Kansas has come out on the
long end of the score.
Three Times Only.
Only three times during the last
six years has an invading team de
feated the Jayhawks at Lawrence.
The records show 49 victories for
Kansas, as against those three de
feats. Oklahoma is the villain of the
piece in the eyes of Lawrence bas
ketball fans. The Sooners downed
the Jayhawks on the KU court
in 1938 and then again last March.
In between those two defeats the
Kansas teams rolled up a string
of 26 straight wins at home.
Baker U. on Elite List.
Only team besides Oklahoma to
beat Kansas at Lawrence in tne
past six years was Baker univer
sity. The team from Baldwin
handed the Jayhawks their lone
home defeat during the 1937 sea
son.
Strangest feature of the Jay
hawks' success at Lawrence is
that Hoch Auditorium, where the
team plays its games, is only a
semi-home floor for Doctor Allen's
team.
Many Varied Uses.
Due to many other uses to which
which the auditorium is put, in
cluding concerts, lectures, fine
arts programs, etc., the use of the
floor for practice purposes is very
limited.
Preparing the court for use by
the basketball team involves re
moving all the seats from the
arena floor of the auditorium and
erecting: the large frameworks
which support the baskets.
Time is Important.
The amount of time this re
quires prevents the court from be
ing made available for practice
very easily. Consequently, the
Kansas team does virtually all of
its practicing in Robinson gym
nasium.
Prior to the season opener with
Denver, the Jayhawk cagers had
been on the court in the auditor
ium only four times this year. But
Kansas won that game 36-35 and
figures to win plenty more.
