Sportorials
By Earl Barney
Will internal troubles keep the Big Six flag out of Lawrence this year? This seems to be the big issue facing the student body of K.U., especially after Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's speech at the rally this morning. Of course the thing is not as new as all that. Some sort of trouble has been evident in one way or another since the first Washburn game, conflicts which have indirectly cost the Jayhawkers two Big Six basketball games.
Fundamentally, the Kansas team this season is much better than the squad which wore the Crimson and Blue last winter, and to accentuate the matter, the student body has supported the lads much more this year than last. Then why all the trouble, and what, if any, is its basis?
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM
Most of the issue revolves around two or three squad members, both have partially or wholly antagonized other members of the team through actions both off and on the court. Since the identity of these men is known to almost every student who attends K.U. basketball games, to repeat them here is unnecessary.
Now, with a crucial conference game coming up this evening with the leading Big Six five, Oklahoma, the question has already arisen, can Kansas pull the cause out of the fire and bounce back into first place?
- SUPPORT YOUR TEAM -
The answer to this question rests almost entirely with the students. No team is going to win a basketball game if it does not have the backing of its student body, and this goes double if the team is battling on its own court. And strange as it may seem, while K.U. followers have been attending the home games in number this winter, their team support has, for the most part, been far too divided. How would you feel if you were out on a basketball court fighting your heart out to give your school a name that it can be pround of, when all the time your own student body is running you and, consequently, your teamsters
Eagles Will Meet Baldwin High Today
The University high school Eagles, victors in nine of their twelve regularly scheduled games this season, will meet Baldwin high at 2:30 this afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. Both the "A" and "B" teams will play.
Elizabeth Stewart Promoted To Corporal at Fresno, Calif.
Elizabeth J. Stewart, Parsons, has been promoted to the grade of corporal by order of Col. Joseph C. Moore, commanding officer at Hammer Field, Fresno, Calif.
This is the first of two games to be played with Baldwin this season, the next battle being a return engagement at Baldwin on Feb. 20. The only defeats suffered by the Eagles this season have been two at the hands of Desota and one by Bonner Springs, a five which they have beaten earlier in the season. The local five also took third place in the Tri-County league basketball tournament held at DeSota last month. The "B" game will be played first, followed by the "A" game at 3:30.
Corporal Stewart is a graduate of the University, with a bachelor of science degree in pharmacy. She enlisted May 17, 1944 and reported to Hammer Field July 17, 1944, where she is serving as a pharmacist technician.
into the floor with inconsiderate idle outbursts?
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM
The Jayhawks will come out onto the floor tonight determined to win this basketball game with Oklahoma, and nothing on earth will stop them. They are going to stamp out the internal troubles they have experienced by deciding once and for all that basketball is a team game, that cooperation is essential to victory. Such a spirit has always been characteristic of Kansas teams in the past, and it always will. But to win, the team needs your help. The best, and only way by which you can place yourself behind it is coming to the basketball game tonight and supporting your team—the right way. What do you cay, Kansas?!
Tips to fans . . . those who are planning to attend the K.U.-K-State basketball game Friday night at Manhattan had better start figuring out some way to get into Nichols gymnasium, since it does not seat even half the normal Aggie student body. The K.U. cagers need plenty of student support for any game, wherever it may be played, but let's not have everyone rushing madly to Manhattan this weekend with no knowledge of whether they will be able to get into the gymnasium. A riot would not be representative of true Jayhawk spirit . . .
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM
Rally Ups KU Spirits
"Rally! Rally! Rally!" screamed frantic cheerleaders from the steps of Robinson gym this morning, and an unusually large group got together for a short yell session between classes.
The whistle blew at 10:15 a.m., and students raced from the classrooms outside to weather especially designed for school spirit.
Coach Allen gave his usual inspiring talk. He told the crowd, "Bruce Drake, the Oklahoma coach, is coming here tonight with a fighting spirit—the fellow who's on his back always fights the hardest—and I'll tell you that I'd rather be in Kansas' place tonight any day than that of Oklahoma." Coach Allen praised several members of the team, and he complimented the student body for their fine spirit. "This student body and pep organization have been the best that I've ever seen."
