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.

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.

of the year, making only 6 and
missing 12.
Ballard Improves.
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. Ray
Evans, who has played brilliant
ball on defense all season.
