UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
MARCH 3,19)
By CHARLES MOFFETT
The addition of Colorado university to the former Big Six Conference, now known as the Mid-West conference, should add greatly to the loop both in prestige and competition.
Seven top-flight schools are certainly better than six. The Big Ten is known as one of the toughest leagues in the country mainly because of the many fine universities represented and the terrific schedule that any of the teams must go through, year after year. Now that officials of the Big Six have seen fit to admit another school to the conference, the nation's sports fans will definitely regard the Mid-West conference as one of the best in the country.
Certainly, the calibre of Colorado athletics is high enough to rate on a level with that of the school of the former Big Six conference. The Buffaloes always have an excellent basketball team under the leadership of Frosty Cox, former Kansas star, and this season have won two games from the Jayhawkers, and will meet again in Hoch auditorium March 14.
We are certain that the Colorado football team will reach the high point of their basketball teams. Some mighty fine football players have come from the state of Colorado and there is little doubt but what the state university will do its utmost to lure young high school grid stars to Boulder.
Big Six coaches and athletic coaches agree that the new addition will be a great help in preparing schedules now that there will be six conference games. Only three or four outside games will have to be scheduled to complete the season's program.
Tomorrow night the newly-crowned basketball champions of the Big Six (Mid-West) conference the Oklahoma Sooners, will come to Hoch auditorium to play the retiring champions, the Kafsas Jayhawkers. Although Howard Engleman's red and blue quintet are out of the running for the title, a lot of prestige will be riding on the last two games of the schedule. In the first place, Kansas has never finished out of the first division since 1929 and victories over Oklahoma and Missouri would assure them a position in the top half of the standings. If they should lose both games they will finish in a last place tie with Kansas State and Nebraska.
Another thing that will inspire the Jayhawkers tomorrow night is the fact that any retiring champion likes to win from the new title holder more than anyone else, and this is especially true for Oklahoma. The Jayhawkers also will be out to revenge their 3-point loss to the Sooners earlier in the season at Norman.
Again it will be Charlie (the Hawk) Black against Gerald (the Shot) Tucker. These stars are undoubtedly two of the best players in the country and their meeting is always exciting. In the two meetings of the stars so far this season, Black has held Tucker to a total of 12 points while marking up 22 points for himself. If Black can duplicate his past performances against the Sooner center, the Jay-hawkers may defeat the Drakemen Kansasis sure to bounce back from that defeat at Iowa State and the result might be that the Sooners won't look like such dominating champions after all.
Symphony Orchestra To Give Concert At Iola Tonight
Members of the University Symphony orchestra will leave this afternoon for Iola where they will present a formal concert tonight in Memorial hall.
Special features on the program include solos by Marshall Butler, pianist, and E. M. Brack, tenor. The french horn choir will present a special arrangement of "The Pilgrim Chorus" from "Tannhauser" (Wagner).
Iowa State Whips Kansas 56.44 As Ray Wehde Scores 18 Points
A tight zone defense and the deadly shooting of Forward. Ray Wehde gave Iowa State a 56 to 44 victory over the floundering Jay-hawkers at Ames Friday night. Wehde scored 5 field goals and 8 free throws for 18 points. Schnell-bacher led Kansas with 16 on 5 field goals and 6 free throws.
The Cyclones started with a rush and were never headed, building up a 33 to 17 lead at half time. Kansas found the Iowa States zone defense too tough beneath the basket and was forced to rely mainly on long shots.
Forward's Charley Black and Otto Schnellbacher led the second half surge of the Jayhawkers but were unable to pull closer than 12 points to the inspired home team.
The game was one of the roughest of the season, 56 fouls being called by the officials. Schnellbacher, Evans, and Clark all left the game with five personal. Roy Webde and Norman outfled for the Cyclones.
The Jayhawkers now face the possibility of finishing out of first division in the Big Six conference race for the first time since 1929. If they should lose the remaining two games with Oklahoma and Missouri, they would end up in a tie for the cellar with Nebraska and Kansas Stateb By winning both games Kansas can tie for third place.

No Football Drills, Too Much Snow
Spring football practice has been postponed till March 10 because of snow and condition of the fields, Don Pierce, K. U. sports publicity director, said this morning.
The intra-squid scrimmages still will be held as scheduled on March 22, March 29, and April 12.
Lack of a field house or similar indoor training facilities makes it impossible to begin spring practice till the fields have cleared and are dry.
The University Art club will be entertained at the studio of Mrs. Bernice Ackerman Lopes, portrait painter, at 7:30 p.m. m. tomorrow.
Mrs. Lopes, who recently set up a studio in town, plans to discuss the techniques of portrait art and to show the group about her studio.
Portrait-Painter To Speak To University Art Club
Raeder Learns How To Ski Doin' It Just Naturally
A former art student at the university, Mrs. Lopes at one time had a commercial studio in Carnegie hall, New York. During the war, when her husband was with the American embassy in Rome, she studied and painted there.
Bright Ideas Meet Tonight
The Bright Ideas group of the Engineerettes will meet at 8 tonight at the home of Bessie Irwin, 838 Louisiana. Margaret and Marjorie Bradley will be co-hostesses.
"The family is the center of life. Man's life should be vast, but he should have his thoughts centered in the home," a woman student replied.
Learning to ski in Norway is about like learning to walk in America it just comes naturally.
So says Johan C. Raeder, business senior, to whom skiing spells an unmatchable combination of relaxation and thrills. Raeder started practicing the sport at the age of four at his home in Oslo, Norway.
A majority of the students believe:
Security of a job and a home, tolerance, and brotherhood were emphasized by 40 per cent of the students.
By the time he was seven years old, Raeder was fairly adept at the sport, and he began active ski jump competition at ten years of age.
The modest Norwegian hesitated before discussing his skiing prowess. "Everbody skis in my country," he explained. "Tm no champion—just a guy who likes exercise."
Raeder recently returned from a ski meet in Aspen, Colo., a contest which featured the best skiers of the rocky mountain area together with selected European specialists.
He admittedly was surprised and "much impressed" with the quality of the American skiers who participated in the jump, and believes the sport will eventually become a national winter favorite of this country.
Chris Berg, famous Norwegian skier who walked away with sixth place in the world championship meet in Czechoslovakia in 1939, accompanied Raeder to the Aspen meet. A student at Harvard and close friend of Raeder, Berg is recognized as one of the top men in the sport.
In Oslo, Raeder reflected, a main streetcar line runs directly out to
'What's The American Way Of Life?'
the principal skiing area, which boasts capacity crowds on weekends and holidays, and is never without a large assemblage of followers of the breath-taking pastime.
The Norwegian cold-weather fan enjoys watching American sports, although he considers football slow and draggy. "I think basketball is a really nice game," he said, "but I don't like football so well because they stop the game so often."
"...Not as in the twenties when a young man thought he could make a million. What he wants now is security and no more wars. The ideal of equality is still dominant, but liberty is close behind," another student answered.
"I can't see why K. U. students don't go out to Colorado and have some real fun skiing." Raeder concluded. "It's only 10 to 12 hours from here by car, and two days in the mountains are better than a week in Kansas City."
"the average American is pretty cocky and thinks that if he wanted to be president he could be, and that there isn't anything he couldn't do. He thinks America is tops and has a big brother spirit toward other nations. . ." wrote another student.
ONE. Home isn't what it used to be or what it should be.
"We must provide employment for the father so that the mother can stay at home with the children," a freshman summed up.
Prof. Samuel Dean, a faculty member of the Peking National Teacher's college in China, told a panel group at the German club Thursday that the chaos in China is the result of persons in different sections of that country not understanding dialects in other sections.
TWO. The woman's place is in the home.
Most Students Stress Individual, Civil Liberty
Sixty-two per cent of the students taking the examination stressed individual and civil liberty, and equality of opportunity in their definitions of the American ideal.
Know Many Tongues For Peace, They Say
Dr. Gonzalo Baez-Camargo, Mexico City, told of several personal experiences to show how knowledge of different languages helps one to understand people of other countries
"I am writing this examination because I want to. I can do this or that if I want to. I can sit at a show tonight and laugh at someone trying to portray the president in a humorous way. Not that it would do any good or be changed because I blow off steam, but because I'll feel better for it. In short, the American way of life is my ideal—life, liberty and happiness under Nature's Laws."
For skiing, that is.
Mrs. Clarence Currence, a retired missionary said that training in foreign languages should begin much earlier than it does in American schools. Mrs. Currence told the group that she had been very successful in teaching younger pupils to speak more than one language.
That statement is the answer of the student who stood lowest on the list in the objective part of the Western examination on the question, "What is the American way of life?"
Colorado Is In Consider Aggies
The University of Colorado w admitted to the Midwest conference at a meeting of Big Six facul representatives and presidents Kansas City Friday and Saturday An admission request by the Oklahoma Aggies will be considered later.
The representatives voted to ado the official name "Midwest Conference." Its former name was n "Big Six," but the "Missouri Valle Intercollegiate Athletic Association The new name will be used in mediately, but Colorado's admissible will not be effective until Dec. 1.
The group left the task of creatin a league commissioner undon Reaves Petees, Kansas City big school mentor, has served for man years as the commissioner of of ficials for the league.
The resolutions of the National Collegiate Athletic association, including a limitation on university recruitings of athletes, were adopted in principle. N.C.A.A. is asking each conference for a formal approval or is resolutions. The conference will meet again to discuss the annual outdoor track championship meeting to be held at Lincoln in May.
