Thursday, February 19, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN n 1 n n T7 y V La WhihL LmwA mm-II By Bob Af Wler preparations Thoughts of the impending crisis 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 Dodgers on Sunday afternoon... "f And that isn't exactly partial, either. 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. 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 2 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 JpuVe qot us A II a o w mum. , s m r jou -w .

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 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. 0 Men to Help Oklahoma'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? over Yct ' f Arrow patterns)... we're the Arrow your pocket. What's more, we're designed to go to gether and make you the best-look ing guy you ever saw in the mirror. 71 ft ' . Three Cagers Total Average . Per Game 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. A 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. Fraternity IM Basket Results A League. Phi Gamma Delta (17) over Delta Tau Delta (11).

One track record fell here tonight as the University of Nebraska's tal ented cindermen minus the aid of 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 be rood 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 his 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 rrow harmony in four parts!

Mix or match Arrow ties, handkerchief and shorts with the shirts. Sing out for Arrows t able to sweep, Victor Schleich beat out team mates Edsel Wib- bels and Ki Eiscnhart for first place. Schleich's best effort, was a 48-8 V put while Wibbels was right behind at 48-7. Eisenhart beat out Kent Duwe of the Kag gie team for third place. Bui 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 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 Bopho 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 be Saturday at home against Okla homa's "fairly strong" squad. Foundation .
