Jayhawker Reserves To Play Baker At 7 Tonight In Hoch Auditorium
Jayhawker basketball fans will have an opportunity to see K.U.'s reserves in action at 7 tonight when they play the Baker university Wildcats in Hoch auditorium. The game will be free.
Coach 'Phog' Allen has announced all of the Kansas squadmen but six are scheduled for action. Out of action will be the Jayhawker starters, Bob Kenney and Bill Lienhard, forwards; Clyde Lovellette, center and guards Bill Houlgand and Charlie Hoag. Senior guard Sonny Ennls will also watch the contest from the sidelines.
Coach Allen said that players are allowed to see action in only as many games as a school regularly schedules. The Jayhawkers are playing a 24-game schedule this year.
Since all of the above mentioned players have seen action in each of K.U.'s 14 games to date any player would have to be held out of a crucial future contest if he was to see action tonight.
For that reason, Dr. Allen will floor a team of reserves against Coach Russ Davee's Baker Wildcats. Allen didn't know what his starting pool would be when
questioned this morning, but said, "all of the reserve squadmen will get a good chance to show what they can do tonight."
Tenight's game will be the first of several possible games for the K.U. Varsity reserves. It is also hoped that the freshmen can play the reserves in a preliminary game before the Oklahoma A. and M.- Kansas game here Monday, Feb. 5.
The Kansas Varsity will remain idle until Saturday when they travel to Chicago to meet Northwestern University in Chicago stadium in the first game of a doubleheader.
Basketball Survey Shows Home Teams Win Sixty-one Per Cent In Conference Play
During the first three weeks of conference play, teams playing at home in 10 major college leagues have won 127 games while dropping 81 for a percentage of .611, a figure considerably below previous years. These facts were recently announced
by Athletic Publications, Inc., in the Weekly Collegiate Basketball record.
Even the most casual observer is keenly aware of the tremendous advantage the host team enjoys in basketball. There are many reasons for this and they are not all psychological.

Could it be again that these coaches haven't received the 100 per cent co-operation of the school's alumni and athletic council?
So, Mr. Lay, we think you're 100 per cent right in backup用mcCrady for his successful record as Kansas State athletic director. It seems unfortunate that he was allowed to resign, even though he must have seen "the handwriting on the wall."
We've never heard anything but the highest respect for McCrady and the job he has done as athletic director and think this is probably the overall opinion of fellow athletic directors, coaches, and the press and radio.
Now Eric Tebow, K-State athletic council chairman and Big Seven faculty representative who was appointed at the eleventh hour by departing ex-president Milton S. Eisenhower, and his council have a big job on their hands in attempting to interest someone in the two key athletic jobs at Manhattan.
In the long run, they'll probably end up wishing McCrady was still a member of K-State's athletic family. They could easily get a man that won't improve upon the Wildcat's present well organized program.

Basketball courts vary in size, shape, and structure. The baskets and the backboards to which they are attached often are as different as the players themselves.

(Editor's note: Coach "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers are one of the few home teams that are unable to capitalize on this home court advantage. Kansas' home court, known as K. U.'s Music Hall—Hoeh auditorium—presents two main problems to home court practice. First, many convocations, lectures, and concerts often prevent practice because chairs are placed on the playing floor. Another reason, the floor is laid on concrete and causes the players to develop sore and stiff leg muscles).

From five to 10 points is the value ordinarily placed on the home floor, but actually the value is considerably higher. There have been many instances where the home court has caused differences ranging from 30 to 50 points.
