Jayhawkers Will Battle M.U. Tigers At Columbia Without Spectators
No spectators will be allowed to attend the Kansas-Missouri basketball clash in Columbia Friday night. An influenza epidemic on the Missouri campus has brought forth a ban on all collective university activities except class and library work.
The announcement of this ban Wednesday left four alternatives: cancellation of the game, postponement of the contest until after March 17.
playing the game in Kansas City, or playing it in Columbia without spectators.
Cancellation of the game did not appeal to Jayhawker athletic officials since Kansas needs a victory over the Tigers to climb from the conference second division. Postponement seemed impractical.
The municipal auditorium in Kansas City was not available for the game, so the fan-less contest became the only alternative.
"We'll be there Friday night, and we'll play on your court, crowd or no crowd," Ernest C. Quigley, Kansas director of athletics told Don Faurot, Tiger director, over the telephone late Wednesday.
Only newspapermen, radio announcers, team members and coaches will be admitted, George Edwards, Missouri business manager of athletics, declared.
"We'll use our full staff of ticket takers as guards to see that the university's order is obeyed," Mr. Edwards said.
The Tigers already have cinched second place in conference standings, but the traditional rivalry between the two schools would likely have pulled a capacity crowd of more than 6.000.
Kansas and Missouri partisans will be forced to follow the clash by radio. One Columbia station, KFRU, and one Kansas City station. KCKN, are scheduled to broadcast the game.
New Coaching Setup Urged At Iowa State
Ames, Ia<sup>-</sup> (UP)—An alumni investigating committee today urged a complete revamping of the Iowa State college athletic setup with arrangement for athletic scholarships for student athletes.
The report demanded the resignation of all members of the school's athletic council and employment of a complete new coaching staff, at higher salaries.

The report went on to suggest the employment of a new coaching staff at higher salaries with a liberal degree and for first class athletic equipment.
School authorities said they had received the report. They withheld comment until after a meeting with the alumni group.

Talk About Bad Pennies
Not all history professors spend all their time buried in history tombs of the past. Here is one who has scaled some of the world's higher mountains—Prof. W. W. Davis.
Davis Climbs Swiss Mountains Just As Hobby
History Professor Up In The Air
Pittsfield, Mass.—(UP)—A $2 bill issued by the Pittsfield National Bank in June, 1857, has been returned to the bank. It was presented to President Kingsbury S. Nickerson as a souvenir by Robert D. Bardwell, Jr., who obtained it from his grandfather.
Although Professor Davis definitely says he is "not a mountain-climber" he has climbed the Jungfrau and the Rottahl horn, two peaks in the Bernese Oberland Alps, and peaks in the Pennine Alps.
Professor Davis, who studied at the University of Paris as a boy and was in France in the first World War, has spent six summers in Switzerland since 1932, the last being in 1839.
A small pin on his tie is the only
mark of his hobby. The pin is the emblem of the Swiss Alpine club, of which he is a member in the Lauterbrunen chapter. Each of the 40 or more chapters in this club sponsors a "hut" located at strategic points for mountain climbing. In addition the club puts out a monthly journal. The Alps, in four different languages, "The photographs in the journal far surpass any I've ever seen. They even trace delicately on the picture of a peak the path of a climber." he explained.
Oklahoma Joins K.U. In 'Recruiting' Stand
Professor Davis joined this club through several Swiss friends because of his great interest in mountain climbing.
Oklahoma University Tuesday declared its support to Chancellor Malott's denunciation which criticized the plan of the Mid-West conference to eliminate recruiting of athletes as being "unrealistic and hypocritical."
The statement by the chancellor early this week preceded by only a few hours a firm rebuttal from the president of Missouri University, Dr. Frederick A. Middlebush.
Defending the soundness of the N.C.A. C. a. ruling, Dr. Middlebush declared, "The University of Missouri, in company with an overwhelming majority of Mid-West conference schools, approved of this principle."
He believed the basic purpose of this principle is to protect the athlete against recruiting pressure, and permit him to attend the school of his choice.
Juniors, Frosh Upset Seniors, Sophomores

Juniors and freshmen will play for the class championship and the seniors and sophomores will meet to decide third and fourth places Tuesday night.
In a smoothly played game, the juniors and sophomores kept fairly even in scoring throughout the game. Maxine Gunsoll was high point senior with 10, and Donna Mueller made 6 points for the sophomores.
