OW about a pair of basketball double-headers de iva in the
Municipal Auditorium January 29 and 30 with the Universities
of Kansas and Missouri, the Great Lakes team and the pre-flight
navy school team of Iowa. City?

Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

Basketball patrons will be glad to know that sien January enter-
tainment is a possibility. The consent of the University of Kansas
is all that stands in the way of such an ar-
rangement. The Jayhawkers already are sched-
uled to play in the auditorium on those nights.
The double-header arrangement simply would
mean that the University of Missouri would
bring its two games of those nights to Kansas
City. Missouri authorities already have agreed
to do that.

The University of Kansas has profited
financially from games in this city far above
and beyond any other school of the Big Six,
so probably will feel some obligation to take
part in giving the patrons here two gala nights,
It is not for this writer to suggest what the
universities do with their basketball profits on games in this city
and we aren’t particularly interested, but in ‘this case the suggestion
has been made that all profits above expenses be turned over to the
navy relief fund.

As the schedules stand now the Great Lakes team will play the
Tigers in Columbia January 29, while Kansas is meeting the pre-
flight navy school team .from Iowa City in the auditorium here. -
On the following night the Iowa City team goes to Columbia for
a game with Missouri, the Great Lakes team coming to this city
for a contest with Kansas in the auditorium. Therefore, the
. switching of the two Columbia games to Kansas City would do the
work. Columbia patrons might have objections to that removal,
but Missouri officials have consented to make the shift, so all that
now remains is for Kansas to move over, make room for Missouri
and thus-assure the turnstile-clicking Kansas City patrons a pair of.
attractive. basketeering nights, C. E,\McBRIDE.
