Kansas Wildcats won their first Big Six victory of the season Monday night by downing Nebraska in a 38 to 35 thriller.

It was the first win for the Wildcats in their last six starts. Kansas State took a two point lead in the first half minute of play and led all the way, holding a half time margin of 21 to 15. The Nebraskans started a rally soon after the second half got under way and tied it up at 27 all, but Danny Howe, senior Wildcat center, dropped in a long shot to put his team in front to stay. With but seconds to play Kenny Elson of Nebraska fired the ball from mid-court. The gun went off while the ball was in the air but it swished thru the basket for two points to bring the Huskers to within three points of the winners.

Sophomores John Bortka and Bruce Holman checked the efforts of Sid Held, the Nebraska scoring ace, and held the lanky Husker to 6 points.

UP). Jimmy Conzelman is a husky, happy fellow with a shock of iron gray hair, a talent for conversation and an unlimited capacity for trying his hand at something new. He is, or has been, a star athlete, art exhibitor, actor, sport columnist, new.spaper editor, musician, lecturer and coach of college and pro football teams. At the moment he is coach of the Chicago Cardinals and one of the best informed men in his trade. As well, he is one of the mo.st forthright men in his trade.

He fits no man's mold. He is personality himself, a good guy and an hone.st one. I want to make the last point a strong one because today I put Conzelman on the spot. I asked him how the war would affect pro football. He spar or evade the issue.

He made three major points which are worth passing along. He said he believe the army draft will diminish the number of available players for at least a year, that pro teams may get competition from army and navy service squads and that the game it.self has a definitely major responsibility. The tip-off on all sports may be taken from the letter to Judge Landis in regard to baseball, he said. There is no drastic curtailment in prospect because Mr. Roosevelt is convinced the nation needs occasional relief from nerve a relief that pro football can provide as well as baseball.
