With the Big Six race now well
underway, the pre-scason fore
casts seem to be correct in most
respects.
It was assumed, before the con
ference play got started, that the
Kansas Jayhawks and the Okla
homa Sooners would be the teams
to beat f r the Big Six cham
pionship. Both clubs are un
defeated in loop play at present,
but the Kansans are given the
nod over the Sooners because of
a KU win over Bruce Drake's
charges in the Christmas tour
nament at Oklahoma iCty.
Inside Spot.
Missouri seems to have the in
side spot for third place, although
the remaining four conference
teams are sufficiently well
matched to furnish upsets
throughout the year. The Tigers
have lost to Kansas, but showed
enough in pre-conference play to
merit serious consideration for a
spot behind the Jayhawks and
Sooners.
Biggest disappointment in the
early stages of the campaign has
been the weak showing of Louie
Menze's Iowa State Cyclones.
The Iowans were supposed to
have plenty of strength, but a
loss last week to Kansas State
has made Big Six followers won
der about the Iowa State chances.
Probably the most potential
upsetter in the loop is Nebraska,
for when the rangy Huskers are
hot, they will furnish any team
plenty of competition, as witness
their showing against Illinois in
December. Nebraska has a win
over Kansas State and a loss to
Oklahoma to show thus far, but
should be able to cause plenty
of grief around the circuit when
Coach Pop Klein hits upon a
winning combination.
Still in Running:.
Kansas State is not to be
counted out of the struggle for
second division leadership, for in
upsetting Iowa State and holding
Kansas to a small margin of vie
tory, the Wildcats have stamped
themselves as a dangerous foe
This is especially true when the
K-Staters are playing on their
home floor in Manhattan, for the
small floor hampers the fast
breaking play of rivals, and the
Wildcats are able to make the
opposition play a hesitant style
of ball.
Nebraska fans will get their
first look at Bernie Masterson,
new Husker football coach, when
Bernie is presented to the crowd
during the halftime intermission
of -the Kansas-Nebraska basket
ball game tonight.
Iowa State boasts the best
lighted basketball floor in the
Big Six now, for during Christ
mas vacation the lighting system
was completely overhauled and
the floor reworked in preparation
for Cyclone contests later this
season.
Coach Louie Menze declares
that the candlepower was doubled
and that lighting conditions at the
Ames arena are the best in the
conference.
Cyclones Face
Missouri Five
In Big Six Tilt
AMES, la, Jan. 10. Iowa State's
cage team plays its second Big
Six contest tonight when it meets
a favored Missouri five at Co
lumbia. Either Joe Hicks or Sam Deal
will start at center, according to
Coach Louis E. Menze. Hicks was
injured in the Kansas State game
last week but may be ready for
Missouri. Deal will replace Hicks
if the injury has not healed suf
ficiently to permit Menze to use
his regular center.
Missouri gave Kansas a close ball
game Monday night, and on the
strength of that showing is rated
about eight points better than the
Cyclones. Gwinn, Moulder and
White Coach George Edward's
front line have averaged about
20 points per game in seven con
tests, four of which the Tigers
have lost.
Menze will name his usual
starters in the other posts, putting
Jim Stark and Jim Buck at the
forwards and Ron Norman and
Bob Petersen at the guards.
Probable starting lineups:

Track Picture
LAWRENCE, Kas., Jan. 10.
The Kansas Relays, a wartime
casualty, will be revived next
spring with the two-day meet
booked April 19 and 20, it was an
nounced this week by Athletic
Director E. C. Quigley.
The Jayhawker games, ranked
nationally in the same class with
the Texas, Penn and Drake Re
lays, will carry a full schedule of
events for all clases, Quigley said
in announcing the rejuvenation of
the meet since its discontinuance
in 1942.
Kansas has continued to stage
its interscholastic carnival during
the past two years with the prep
stars parading at Memorial sta
dium instead of preceeding the
college and university attraction
on Saturday. The high school
event will be moved back to Fri
day with the colleges and univer
sities taking over their accustomed
Saturday spot.
The Relays were originated in
1923 and continued - unbroken
through 1942.
Dogs in Australia are to be ra

Century.
Insects are usually near-sighted

for protection.

for men involved in alleged ir
regularities in the administration
