DECEMBER 11,1945
When the Jayhawkers meet the Rockhurst Hawks tonight in the "big city" they will play on glass backboards for the first time.
There is no scientific value for glass backboards in preference to the old-fashioned standard wooden backboards. Their main purpose is to allow spectators seated behind the goals to see when a basket is made.
Because a basketball will slide more easily and catch less rapidly on glass backboards, playing on them is more difficult.
The Jayhawkers' use of the glass backboard in their next three games will prepare them for the encounter at Oklahoma where glass backboards always are used.
Some sports writers enjoy creating romantic illusions about basketball players and their reasons for attending certain schools.
When Gene Peterson, the 6-foot 7-inch forward from Nebraska, enrolled in the University, a story (purely rumor) originated from Kansas City to the effect that correspondence with a Kansas co-led Gene to enroll at Kansas instead of Nebraska.
Dumping love into his lap without warning surprised Gene more than anyone "There's nothing to it," he smiled. "I came here to enroll in medicine because I can get through it faster at Kansas than I could at Nebraska."
That's the straight story—no romance involved—just Gene's desire to enroll in a good medical school and still be able to play basketball.
