3 Wednesday, February 25, 1942 DAILY NEBRASKAN srR- '-'-1 Z, ,17 SpDhiA. The Result You're guess is as good as ours concerning the outcome of the con ference basketlall race. . . Here i- h way it stands now.. . . Kansas by remaining aloof of con tpnms for the past half week saw themselves in a tie for the top spot on one occasion, saw themselves lose it and then finally saw themselves gam un disputed lead. . . An without play ing a game. 0 The Situation A week ago Monday night the tumi were tied for the top position with six wins and a single loss for each. . . Then Oklahoma swung north and outlasted Ne braska to creep up to seven and one'for a record. . . On last Mon day night Iowa State, nemesis to league leaders, clung to a slender lead to win out by a 46-43 score. . . . That swept the Sooners off the top rung since the leader's place Is decided by percentages. The Friday night game at Nor man will be a darb since it will decide the eventual winner. . . Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma's sopho mnrip srarkDlue. hit for 25 points against Iowa State as his answer to what he will ao wnen ne ge npainst K U. . Charlie Black garnered an even 25 when Kansas met OKianoma in uic for both schools. . Tucker was on the sidelines due to an eligibility ruling and so was not able to help his team mates as they lost, OA-S. Solons Meet Thi week marks another Im portant event as the Big Six solons gather around tne council mu.s in decide the matters demanding attentiton. . . Chief among these is the proposal for all Big Six schools to make freshmen eligible r.mnri in conference athletics. . . . There are two decided schools of thought on the subject ana A,mn,i hav hien set uo in antic- VHIKf w. ... ipation or tne oaiue mi k'"""7 will be forthcoming. Presnell Not in Favor- New coach Glenn Presnell has he does not favor the Wallace Wade. Duke coach, 'said when the movement to have freshmen compete gained .mtnm that in his opinion if subsidisation had happened be fore after the proposal was in force there would be wholesale auctioning so to speak. . . At ;Fhnir Allen what will this mean to the Big Six if what Wade says it true 7 Some Action Imminent it emn to me that some action must come out of the meeting since the war has nearly wrecxea throughout the na tion. . . It may come in the form of allowing freshmen to compete or it might come by making physical HnBtinn compulsory throughout the conference. . . As to the latter there hasn't been much action supporting it but if the former falls through it may be one way to accomplish the desired results. ... As far as sports are con cerned the desired result is to get the majority of college men actively participating in some kind of sports. Smaller Schools Desire It The pressure put on by the smaller schools in the conference is probably strong enough to -low the frosh to compete with the wareitv . . Their ranks have been depleted by the draft, etc. and the idea would help out maienauy. We'll know by this time next week. Food takes 37.4 percent of the expenditures of American fraternities. . i Underconfident and . Modest KU Jayhawks Brood About Their Approaching Tilts . . . We'd Worry Too LAWRENCE, Kas. Feb. 24 Its record of 13 victories and only 2 defeats notwithstanding, the University of Kansas basketball team will go into its next two games as the underdog. The Jayhawks embark on a road trip Tuesday which takes them to Stillwater for a game with Oklahoma A. A M. Wednes day nieht and then on to Norman where they clash with the Univer sity of Oklahoma quintet, Friday evening. Home Court Jinx. The home court iinx which pre vails in the Kansas-Oklahoma A.AM- rivalrv has resulted in the Jayhawks not beating the Cow boys at Stillwater since ltwu ana A. & M. never having: succeeded in winning a game played at Law rence. Kansas' narrow marein of vic tory over the Cowboys last Fri day in the game at Lawrence, 31- 28, would indicate that A. & Ax is readv to uphold its end of the jinx when the two teams meet at Stillwater.

Jack Ballard. 6 foot 6 Inch sophomore, helped the Jayhawks' rebounding game consiaeraDiy when he went into action and may be used more frequently during the remainder of the season. v Ballard's heieht mav come in particularly valuable when Kan sas plays O. U., the tallest team in the Big Six, With Gerald Tucker at 6' 4'2 , raui Heap t v ana Richard Reich 6' 2 , the sooners have all the height in their start ing lineup that any team needs for rebounds. Before Tucker. Kansas trounced the Tuckerless Sooners 54-32 at Lawrence in the opening Big Six game of the sea son, but Oklahoma rallied to win seven consecutive conference tilts. A problem Kansas didn't have to worry about in the other game, stopping Tucker, will be of prime importance in the contest Friday night Likely choice for the job is Tucker's old high school rival.
