Thought of t-i Impending crlsii
that will develop on Friday, Feb
ruary 27, are occupying the minds
of Sooner officials these days...
A week in advance they are be
ginning to prepare for a crowd
that promises to be as partisan as
the fans watching the Brooklyn
U Dodgers on iunaay anernoon . . .
And that isn't exactly partial,
r" ...
Thank Their Lucky Stars
Both Oklahoma and Kansas U.
have three games left to play and
Oklahoma can thank their lucky
stars that they are in a first place
tie. . .In the first game of the sea
son, Kansas' soundly tromped on
the Sooners, 54-32, amid surround
ings of enmity, almost bitter in
quality... About thanking their
lucky stars, It seems that Kansas
was all ready to go through the
Big Six competitors to an unde
feated championship when Iowa
State came out of nowhere to
knock off the leaders. . .This was
the only defeat that the Jayhawks
have against them.
A Break
The KU loss to Iowa State was
a boon to Oklahoma. . .Without
Gerald Tucker, the sophomore
eager, declared eligible only two
weeks ago, the Sooners got going
after the loss to KU and they have
not lost a single game since...
Both teams have a record of six
wins and one loss... So Oklahoma
is resting there in top place with
the aid of Iowa State.
What A Record . . .
Kansas U Has
With 39 Point
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 18.
The most devastating scoring at
tack in Big Six history is bowling
over foes of the Kansas Jayhawks
as Dr. F. C. Allen's cage team
makes an all out effort to gain
another Big Six basketball cham
pionship. An average of 51.1 points a
game has been compiled in the
conference play by the Jayhowks,
almost five points ahead of the
record average of 46.2 points a
game set by Oklahoma in 1939.
A. & M. Next Test.
Kansas' powerhouse offensive
gets its severest test Friday night
when it is confronted with the
most effective defense in the coun
try, that thrown up by Oklahoma
A. & M. Jayhawk partisans are
confident, however, that even A. &
M. will not be able to hold K. U.
below 40 points.
Allen's team slipped into high
gear against Creighton, scoring
A Showdown Will Come
To get back to the game on the
27th, the Sooners have yet to
clear the Nebraska hurdle on this
Saturday and then will have all
of next week to prepare for the
showdown which will inevitably
come. . .More than likely the Okla
homa team will be able to topple
the Huskers this week end and
the stage will be all set... The
play's climax can only be imag
ined but there is certain to be
plenty of action before its finish.
Precautions, too
Jap Haskell, Oklahoma publicity
director, is sending out advance
notice that the Kansas team and
their coach, Phog Allen, will be
treated courteously when the two
teams meet. . .Haskell was one of
the points upon Phog Allen's list
of gripes against Big Six athletics
...Haskell states that there
should be over 8,000 spectators on
hand for the tilt and that every
thing will be done to keep the
game from straying out of bounds
and up into the crowd.
O Men to Help
Okie homa's "O" men, 100 strong,
will help keep the complexion
clear... They will be placed in
strategic positions throughout the
crowd and will suppress any sub
versive activities. . .At any rate,
the game should be a good one,
the odds will be high, the specta
tors will be ready... What more
can anyone interested ask?

Total Average
. Per Came
53 points against that crack quin
tet. Piling up the points even
higher, the Jayhawks followed this
with smashing victories over Ne
braska and Iowa State by scores
of 59-30 and 60-44.
Ralph Miller Keeps On.
Hitting the pace predicted for
him ever since his days as a high
school sensation, "Rifling Ralph"
Miller fired 24 points into the net
against Nebraska and 26 in the
game with Iowa State.
Those 50 points shot Miller into
first place in the battle for indi
vidual scoring honors in the Big
Six, with an average of 14.6 points
a game. In second place Is an
other Kansas ace, Charley Black,
at 13.6.
Nucleus of Team.
Kansas' "big three," Forwards
Miller and Black and Center John
"Thin Man" Buescher, now boast
a combined average of 37 points a
game in conference play. With
Guards Ray Evans and T. P. Hun
ter alternating in having good
scoring nights, the K. U. offense
becomes terrific.
The lone basis of comparative
scores between Kansas and Okla
homa A. & M. gives the Cowboys
the edge. A. 4. M. thumped
Creighton 31-22 at Omaha, while
Kansas, on its home floor, downed
Creighton by only four points.
Every game during the regular
season between the two schools
the past three years has resulted
in victory for the home team,
which would indicate a win for the
Jayhawks Friday night. The only
game on a neutral court was won
by Kansas at Oklahoma City in
1940.

Stadium Track, Fob. 18. One
track record fell here tonight as
the University of Nebraska's tal
ented cindermen minus the aid ol
veteran sprinter Red Littler rolled
to a 621-3 to 40 2-3 victory over
Kansas State.
Bobby Ginn, 128 pounds of tire
less energy, was the standout of
the meet as far as firsts and the
broken record were concerned.
His fast 4:18.4 mile in the meet's
opening event was the record-shatterer.
Al Rues,' K State distance man,
provided enough competition to
Ginn to make him set a fast pace
although leading from the begin
ning. The Madison runner turned
in a blistering stretch drive to win
going away by 20 yards.
Ginn Held Old Record.
The old .record was 4:19 and
Ginn himself held it. Since the old
Nebraska indoor mark was set
last year at the Chicago invita
tional, the new time will betjood
for the fastest mile run by a Ne
braskan and the fastest on the
Husker indoor track.
Coach Ed Weir was surprised
by the showing in several sections
as unexpected points flowed in
from some quarters while others
departed in others. Eugene Littler,
good for 13-15 points per meet,
was on the sidelines with a bad
leg but should be ready for the
Oklahoma invasion on Saturday.
Darden Cops Twice.
Ed Darden of the guest team
was good for 10 points as he
swept first place in both hurdle
races. Bill Smutz, Husker Big Six
title holder in these events, had a
poor night topping his favorite
hurdles. He missed his step in
both events, not able to regain
it in the highs but in the lows
he forced Darden to throw out hia
chest to win at the tape.
Smutz contributed to the home
cause by his first in the 60 yard
dash with a 6.4 timing. Don Mor
ris of Nebraska was second. The
winner of the last race was also
leadoff man on the winning mile
relay team.
UN Sweeps Shot.
In the shot put, the only event
which the Scarlet field men were
able to sweep, Victor Schleich
beat out team mates Edsel Wib-
bels and Kl Eiscnhart for first
place. Schleich's best effort was
a 48-8 Vi put while Wibbels was
right behind at 48-7. Eisenhart
beat out Kent Duwe of the Kag
gie team for third place.
Bill Conner, Bayard sophomore,
showed that he liked the 440 bet
ter than the 880 as he took over
the reins for Littler and broke
the tape in 51.3 for first place.
He also anchored the mile relay
team.
Hunt Misses 14 Feet.
Pole vault specialist Harold
Hunt couldn't quite hit the 14 foot
ceiling but won handily by a foot
and two-thirds over the second
place winners. Husker Howard
Debus and Kansas Nelson tied
for second at 12-3. Hunt's highest
was 13-7 although he nearly
cleared the next height which
would have been a new record.
Bill Rupp, another UN sopho
more, cleared 5-9 'i to tie for first
place in the high jump with Dean
Lill of the opposition for an un
expected place. It is the highest
that Rupp has gone this year.
KU Sweeps Broad Jump.
Big Al Rues, K State sopho
more, turned in two performances
of note. First he forced Ginn to a
new record in the mile and then
minutes later came back to win
the two mile in 10:04.6. Paul
Johrde took second for Nebraska.
Kansas swept first and second in
the broad jump.
The Huskers' next meet will b
Saturday at home against Okla
homa's "fairly strong" squad.
