Wings To Meet Alexander, La. Quintet At Coliseum Tuesday BY CHUCK. PETERSON Capt. Stanley Hall's Lincoln Army Air Field Wings will close their home season this Tuesday night when they tackle the Alexandria, La., Field five in the first game of the Second Army Air Force basketball championship at stake. The Wings are the Northern division champions. Only this game will be playeci'- in Lincoln, with the second game scheduled for Alexandria, on Fri day, March 9, and the third, if needed, on the following Saturday on the same Louisiana court. Alexandria won the Southern division crown by taking Biggs Field of El Paso, Tex'., in two straight games, 51 to 40 and 50 to 44. The Wings were declared the champions of the Northern divi out of three games to gain the Northern division finals. The Alexandria five has won 45 games during the year while losing live during the same period. Captain Hall said that the ailing Vic Krafft had rounded back into shape again and that his cut eye no longer bothers him. The starting lineups: Wing's Alexandria Lumpp f . . .

Casper, Wyo., squad disbanded The Wings had previously beaten Burger Tatum c Taylor Ahearn g Stolkey the Colorado Springs quintet two Ehlers g O'Hare Cyclones Nab Big Six Title Iowa State's Cyclones came into the second half red-hot and blew the Kansas Jayhawks clear out of reach of the Big Six title Friday night as they scored a decisive 61-39 victory over the Kansas squad. Last year the Cyclones shared the conference champion ship with Oklahoma but a record of 8 victories and two defeats gave the Iowans plenty of room in this year's standings. Another championship was an nexed in the game as little Jim Myers, Cyclone forward, gained the conference scoring crown. Myers total for the season was 131 points, seven higher than Art Peterson, gangling Nebraska cen ter. At halftime the Towans held a slim 27-21 lead at halftime, get ting the jump on the sunflower staters from the opening gun. KU had taken a 2-0 lead following the tip but went scoreless for four minutes and Iowa State jumped at the chance and soon had the ball game in their laps. Kansas was always in striking distance during the first half but never after the fiast basket were they able to tie the Cyclones. The red hot attack of the Cy clones came at the start of the second halt when they put in 13 points to the Jayhawks two and held a 40-23 lead with seven min utes gone in the half. Later in the gams KU came as near as 10 points to the Iowans but no closer. Big Bob Mott led the Iowa State scoring list as the tall boy knocked in . six field goals and six out of six free throws for 18 points. Bill Block, veteran defensive star was second in line as he tallied 12 counters, one more than Myers. Peck was high for Kansas scor ers with 10 points.

A worried frown ruffled the good Dean's forehead as he sat at the long wooden table in the University of Wisconsin Arm ory carefully filling out registra tion cards. "I sure hope I didnt flunk my freshman year, he said, but there was a misleading twinkle in the corner of his right eye which denied his sincerity. And well he might twinkle, for he was registering for the first time in 50 years, but not for him self. A week ago freshman Harry Watt, Jr., came to see Dean Scott H. Goodnight on a matter of ex treme urgency. He had not been formally graduated . from high school and couldn't he please go back and attend the ceremony? But who would register for him? "Why, I will," said the good Dean. Thoroughly enjoying himself, Dean Goodnight sat among the paraphernalia of exam-asphyxi ated students and filled out good ness knows how many Henry Walt, Fr.'s on goodness knows how many little white cards.
