Kensas vasketvall ,has located a ‘soinaine noard as for oway as Bente
Monica, Calif., and here is an echo--

"I've been reading: articles on Big Six basketball and am just a little
burned up," writes "A Lifetine Jayhewker" from Santa Monica. "I'm a Jay-
hawker gone California," — he: odds . " but 1 know ‘the: besketball situation at
Kensas protty well, All the stuff I have been réading: hes been about Rolph —
Miller, John Lobsigzer, Jinn McNatt, Jack Horacele and an occasional word —
about Bob Allen—-that's what burns me up. I was fortimate enough to see the
Kansas-Kansas State and the Xensas-Oklahoma games and saw Bob Allen do. every=
thing but cat the baskets. He was the sparimlug behind a pretty good ball
club, and if. I lmow enything about it he is going to te the ae eee between
a pretty good team and a great one before the season ends, ~

' I wouldn't went enyone to think that I do: not admire: ‘the loshar pleyers
named, esnecially McNatt and Miller, Sut just take young Allen out of the
Kansas line=up and see what happens. I'm afraid this is going to be an exact
duplication of the.1936 seeson when Milt Allen was the insniration and nine-
tenths of the backbone of a ereat bell clap and the only Kansos man ignored
when the All-Star teams were chosen. That's the sacrifice a kid makes for be-
ing the son of. the. best ° vaskotoall coach in the country .

"That's ensugh of that, the correstondent conclutes, "put I'd like to
say . that Missouri, Oklahonia and Kansas can teke U.S.C., California and U.v.L.A.

'BOOING!' HURGS. HOME Toul, 00! HB i SAYS

Solteviiie. Ind,, Jenuary 17 (Spl.) That good 01d Hoosier hardwood,
custom of "cooing" serves x sainly to hurt the chences of the home team

Take it from J, Wendell (Ike) Ballerd, Shelbyville Hieh School nonah and
president of the Indiona Hizh School Coaches As socia ‘tion, who issued a state=
ment to that effect as an oftoraath of Sheli byville' $s annual setto with the
Greensburs Pirates, long an aubpteniine Norudee * battle" in southern Indiana
net circles. Shouting unconmlimentary remarks at officials and booing in gen-
eral has these three effects, Ballard. said? -

1, 1t makes the home tean feel it is setting a "rew deal" “and often

results in disintest ration of the team's drab.

2, 1t "neps a the onnosing SEeSSIAE tea mombers and makes them feel
thet are going to Net the breaks,"

3, It makes officials "lean over baciavard" in malcing decisions during
the reli ainder of the game, $9 they may be sure they do. not favor the " booing
crowd
