Vandals Will Meet Jayhawkers On Last Leg Of Disastrous Trip
The Idaho Vandals swing into the last leg of their disastrous eastern road trip and head home via Lawrence.
The Vandals, who will meet the Jayhawkers here tomorrow night, absorbed a 30-point, 65-35 drubbing at the hands of powerful Kentucky, Monday, for their fourth straight loss.
Previously the hapless westerners had dropped decisions to City College of New York, Georgetown, and St. Joseph's, all on their eastern road schedule.
After an attempt to man-the home opening of the Jayhawkers, the Vandals will travel on to Laramie where they will take on the University of Wyoming squad in a twin bill Friday and Saturday.
Allen expressed himself as dis-satisfied with the way set plays failed to work at Emporia, and is concentrating on getting every move just right. Otto Schnellbacher who did his first quarterbacking job at Emporia Saturday, is still working out in the center slot.
Meanwhile, Coach F. C. Allen continued to drill his 68-man squad in fundamentals and set plays, concentrating on the top two dozen himself, and delegating the rest to "B" team mentor Howard Engleman.
The Jayhawkers expect the most trouble from Idaho's giant post man, Jack Phoenix, and Fred "Whimpy" Quinn, sparkplug forward.
The 'Hawkers abound with top defensive guards, but have no skyscraper to match Phoenix's 6 feet and 9 inches of height. The nearest to that top figure is Charley Black who drew the job of guarding Bob Kurland last year.
Other expected starters for Idaho are Gerald Bourland, 6'3" forward, Jack Wallace, 6'2" guard, and Bill Carbaugh, 5'9" midgut player.
Probable starters for Kansas are Black and Gib Stramel at forwards, Otto Schnellbacher at center, and Ray Evans and Wendell Clark as guards.

'Pop'Sends Greetings To The Big Shots
Pittsburgh. (UP)—Charles "Pop" Gerding believes in spreading Christmas cheer all around the world—and doing it early.
He is only an Oakmont swimming pool manager himself, but that does not stop "Pop" from sending his greetings to people of high stations in life as well as the lowly. In October and during the past month, he has mailed fancy Old English cards to Josef圣林, King George of Britain, President Truman, Winston Churchill, and Cordell Hull.
Season passes were clipped to the Yule greetings in case any of the international big shots care to take a dip in "Pop's" pool.

It's Hard To Take, But
K.U.'s No.1 Basketball Fan Will Miss The Idaho Game
Miss Florence Black, mathematics professor, will miss her first home basketball game in 20 years Wednesday night when Idaho plays in Hoeh.
"It will be a great disappointment," she said, "but I am just another victim of the crowded conditions along with the other sports enthusiasts."
"If all students in the University were as avid basketball fans as I am, there wouldn't have been tick- $ \textcircled{+} $
"If all students in the Unversi am, there wouldn't have been tickets left over for the faculty and public, so I consider myself lucky to be able to see four games this season."
She's looking forward to another all-victorious year for the Jayhawker quintet. "Our boys have all worked together and know what the other's next move will be," she said. "The return of Geraid Tucker and Allie Paine to the Oklahoma team doesn't scare me in the least."
As owner of an even numbered ticket, however, Miss Black will miss seeing the Sooners play here.
ther that I have braved to see sports contests."
When asked about her favorite basketball players of the past, she hesitated. "There are so many 'greats' in basketball produced here that it's hard to say, but I believe the best two-player combination was Paul Endacott and Charles Black, all-state guards in 1922-23. Of course, I may be influenced a little by the fact they were both Lawrence boys-and one of them my relative."
Why always a front row seat? "Well, I like the game, but I'm short, and to see everything that goes on, I just have to sit in front."
"The thing I want to know now, is, how early will I have to start to be sure of getting a seat where I can see all of the game?"
However, she's no relation to the current Charles Black, who will start at forward tomorrow for the Jayhawkers.
For a number of years, Miss Black sat on the stage in the front row, but when it became necessary to start for the game several hours early to be sure of a front row seat, she got a front row seat in the reserved section.
Canuteson Attends Meetings In Topeka
Dr. R. I. Canutes, director of the University health service attended two meetings on tuberculosis in Topeka Sunday.
Miss Wealthy Babcock, also a mathematic professor, usually goes to the games with Miss Black, and her attendance record is similar. Basketball isn't the only game that holds attraction for these two. Football and track rate equally as well, but baseball is often played during the time they have classes so is slightly neglected.
The first was a meeting of the Kansas Tuberculosis and Health association, of which Dr. Canuteson is vice-president. Later Dr. Canuteson and Dr. F. A. Trumb, president of the association, met with the tuberculosis committee of the Kansas State Medical society.
"The weather doesn't stop me," Miss Black went on to say, "I saw the Oklahoma game in that rainy drizzle we had that day; but even then that is far from the worst wea-
Railroad Rates Increase

A four-year-old temporary increase in rail passenger fares has been made permanent. Passenger fares were boosted 10 per cent in 1942.
