John Kline, Kansas U's rebound artist, is learning to shoot free throws with one hand. . . he started out shooting them with both hands, but his percentage was so bad that when he got a wingle free throw, he would take the ball out of bounds instead of trying the phot. . . Phog Allen has Kline lay ing the ball on his right hand, steadying it a moment with his left, then shooting it as a bowler would. . . he's getting better re sults than he did two-handed. Nebraska's basketball team is home again, and if the Huskers want to beat Kansas, it's a good thing. Nebraska has played four games at home, and the only one in which they were outclassed was against Oklahoma. At that, the crippled Nebraska team got 41 points, but the Sooners did get 56. There were victories over Iowa State and K-State and a one-point loss to Missouri. However, Nebraska has lost fourteen consecutive Big Six road games. Maybe the boys must get homesick, but the fact remains that Nebraska hasn't won an out-of-town conference game since back In January, 1938, when they nipped Iowa State 32-35 at Ames, in their first Big Six road game. They went on to lose their other four out-of-town games, and haven't won on the road for the last two conference seasons. Sigma Alpha Mus beat Chi Phis The Sigma Alpha Mus nipped the Chi Phi cagers last night in Intramural play in a second ex tra period. The AGR's stayed ahead in eague 1 also by beating the Phi Psis.

Nebraskans make second home start Nebraska's brilliant track ar tists make their second home start tonight a Kansas State's team invades the Husker indoor layout for an 8 o'clock perform ance. Both teams hold wins over Kan sas, but the Wildcats were beaten by Drake in their first meet of the season. The Huskers, fresh from the Illinois relays, will undoubtedly be pressed harder by K-State than they were by Kansas altho they should win, as the Wildcats were nearly dumped by KU. Soit a find. Darold Dodge, hurdler, Thaine High, 2-miler, shot putter Elmer Hackney, high jumper Gene Soit, and the mile relay team are the Wildcats best bets for first. Dodge, who has marks of :07.1 and :07.8 in the hurdles, will have to beat out sophomore Bill Smutz, high point man against KU, while Bill Cook, sophomore, looks like High's toughest opponent in the 2-mile. The K-State junior has been getting well below 9:50 this year. Hackney has been doing around 48 feet in the shot despite an in jured hand, and will get his strong est competition from Ed Wibbels. Wibbels, though, is still bothered somewhat with the bad wrist he reinsured at Illinois. Lead K-State. Soit, a former intramural star, has been doing better than any of the Husker high jumpers, while the relay team of Gibson, Haberle, Payne and Robinson got 3:30.7 in beating Kansas, which beat a makeshift Husker group here. The Huskers, what with Littler, middle distance man, Harold Brooks, Smutz and Hunt, the bril liant sophomore quartet, look best in the other events. Brooks, if he is not forced in the mile, will aim for a university 880 record; Lit tler will be gunning again for t.he 440 record, and Hunt will be after the pole vault mark. Smutz looks like the broad jump winner. Husker entries: Mile run Harold Brookf, Ray Walker, Bill Cook. Linvllle Prall. 60-yard dash Gene Littler, George Abel. Bill Smutz. 440-yard dash Littler.

Co-captains Bud Tallman, Cres ton, la., and Irv Yaffe, Omaha, along with Harry Pitcaithley and Bob Therien of Lincoln and Bruce Duncan, Broken Bow, are the sen iors who will receive Tassels' scrolls of recognition before the game. Yaffe, Tallman and probably Pitcaithley will be in the Husker lineup at the opening whistle. Don Fitz was at center at Iowa State, and will probably take over that post against Kansas.

The undefeated Wildcats, who hold victories over Illinois, Minne sota and Iowa State, all of whom have beaten the Huskers, are odds on favorites to win the conference title at Ames March 8 and 9. Leading the K-Stalers is Capt, Leon Reynard, 175 pounder, who has held the Big Six title in his class for two years. His coach, B. R. Patterson, says he s the best light-heavyweight wrestler he has ever coached. Al Mulliken, Husker sophomore, will go against Rey nard. Fansher back Milt Kuska will go against Far- land Fansher, a two year letter- man, in the 121 pound class. Ed McConnell faces sophomore Bill Hartman at 128 pounds. Lee Clare, senior and a two year letterman has won his old place on the Husker team at 136 pounds, and will take on another sophomore, Vern McClellan. Sophomore Newton Copple will meet Glen Duncan, junior, in the 145 pound division. Duncan is sec ond high scorer on the team, with undefeated Reynard being the only man to outscore him this season. Tomes meets Jiggs Jiggs Van Vleet, conference 155 pound champion, will be Ray Tomes' opponent, while Leland Porter, a junior as is Van Vlcet, will tackle Dale Ruser at 165 pounds. Heavyweights will be Bill Rum bolz, who wrestled his first match in last weekend's Iowa State meet for the Huskers, and 165 pound Keith Collins.

The Huskers hold somewhat of a home-floor jinx over Kansas, having beaten them here three years ago to tie the Jayhawks for the conference title. Last year, the Huskers won an early season victory over Phog Allen's team here, in one of the three confer ence games Nebraska wn. Should the Huskers upset Kan sas they will finish with three victories one each over Iowa State, Kansas State and KU on the home floor, the same record as they had last year. However, a loss to the high-flying jayliawks would make a tie for the cellar position with Kansas State and possibly Iowa State inevitable. Ralph Miller and Bob Allen were the main cogs as the KU team beat Nebraska at Iawrence, and those two, who rank second and third among conference scor ers, will have to be stopped if the Huskers expect to give KU a battle. "Phog" Allen is fearing a repe tition of a Husker scoring splurge such as burst out against Kansas State, and the Kansans, knowing the incentive a Nebraska team has to beat Kansas in basketball, are not taking the game lightly.

At Manhattan, today, the Husker tankers will tackle the same Wildcat squad that came from behind to defeat them here. While on their next stop at Law rence where Coach H a g e 1 i n thinks lies his second victory they meet the luckless Kansas squad, which bowed of late to the Wildcats 52 to 32. But if Mr. Cooper, Nelson and Morton can find the fury which sent them to a record time in the 300 medley relay against the Staters, the Huskers may move on to Sooner land with a pair of losses behind them. New pool. On Monday, the Huskers will get their first swim in the new $60,000 Sooner pool, as they go against the improved Sooners, who have lost to Oklahoma A. & M.f but who lost to Kansas.
