4 FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1944 Blues Stop Jayhawks In Initial Game,40-35 A young Kansas basketball team, playing its initial contest of the season with Washburn on the latter's home boards, lost to the hustling Blue five in a closely contested ball game last night, 40-35. Only the set shots of little Owen Peek, speedy Jayhawk forward kept the Crimson and Blue in the contest during the second half. The smooth shooting Jayhawker nullified a Blue seven point half-time lead by hitting six field goals in the third period, but the Topeka five pulled back into the lead in the ragged closing minutes of the game. Charlie Moffett, K.U. regular last winter, gave a smooth performance during the time the injured forward was in the contest. Peck's fifteen tallies were high for the contest. Gib Stramel and Krone netted ten each for the Blue. K.U. Behind at Half The Blue five ran up an early 6-2 lead in the first part of last night's ragged game, but Carlson and Briley hit to pull the Crimson and Blue into a 7-6 lead. The glory was short-lived, however, for the Topekans rapidly made it 14-7. K.U. coach Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen then shoved an entire new Kansas team into the contest, but still the scrappy Blue five continued to hit and pulled into a 23-16 lead at the half. Lou Goehring's two buckets kept the 'Hawks in the contest. Right after the teams took the floor to begin the final half of the game, Peck began his hitting streak which ran the Jays into a 30-27 lead. Evans and Stramel hit for the Ichabads though, and the Topekans again pulled into a 33-33 tie. Ulrich's charity toss gave the Blue a 1 point advantage, then, which the Hawks could never overcome. Dillard made it 36-33 for the Blues, but Peck came back to pull the Kansans up on the Topekan's heels. After the final Kansas bucket, the Jayhawks couldn't get the ball within shooting range, and lay-ups by Stramel and Van Gundyiced the contest. Stramel Is Blue Star Gib Stramel, rugged Blue center who starred last year for Hays high school, controlled the rebounds off both baskets, giving the Blues the advantage they needed. Both teams played ragged ball, but the Hawks lacked the hustle they could have shown. After the game the team, coaches, and alumni friends met at the Chocolate Shot for a post-game dinner. University Jay-Janes were the special guests for the evening. E. C. Quigley, KU, athletic director, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, made the trip also. Transportation facilities made the game very hazardous, the cars in which the squad traveled, having to fight water over to the capital city, and fog all the way back. The next game for the Jaya-hawkers will be with the same W.A.A. to Install Fifty New Members The annual W.A.A. hockey-volleyball mixer will be held in the Kansas room of the Union building at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Roberta Sue McCluggage, president of W.A.A., announced today.

If a girl believes she has enough points for W.A.A., she should see Charlotte Price, point system manager, by tomorrow, said Miss McCluggage. Katherine Burchfield, volleyball manager, and Jean Boardman, hockey manager, will have charge of the mixer, Miss McCluggage said.

Sportorials By EARL BARNEY, KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR Officials: Oberhelman and Peterson Guest Columnist—Loren King Since the ill fated Turkey Day game in Ruppert Stadium, in Kansas City, we've seen a lot of comment on the idea of a big new stadium for K.C. The Star's Sports editor, C. E. McBride made much copy in the Friday issue about the chances for such a project. The idea seems to be that Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma are supposed to fall all over each other trying to schedule games in the big stadium. McBride has figures showing how much more the Jayhawkers can make by playing in Kansas City than by playing at home. If this is true, we might as well go along with the city promoters and then Quig will have Memorial stadium exclusively for circuses. We wonder what Kansas City's bowl will be named. Will it be called the "Cereal bowl" for all the corn and wheat grown in this section of the country? Or, if the Big Six teams are to take on hot shot ball teams in this stadium it might appropriately be the "Duck Soup bowl." Army-Navy Notes— The Army-Navy game, always a standout, proved to be a dynamic climax to one of the most thrilling football seasons in several years. The sports writers differed on the real merit of the Army team. The fact that the cadets came roaring down the season knocking over all its opponents like tenpins, is countered with the charge that Army often plays below its own class. The Navy schedule is pointed to as a tougher row to hoe. But the fact stands, Army's 23 to 7 defeat of Navy, is enough to show the West Point power. --team to "burn" all week long, generating enough steam to win the next Saturday's game. Now that Oklahoma has beaten Nebraska 1944 Big Six football is on the records, we can take a deep breath. The Sooners were supposed to take Kansas, and Missouri was one of the few times this season the dopesters were right. But think of all the times this season when they were wrong. Nebraska was supposed to take Kansas, and Missouri was given little chance against Iowa State and Oklahoma. OUR CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS: STATIONERY FLUORESCENT LAMPS But just consider how the experts were upset. The Jayhawkers soundly walloped Nebraska, then lost to a K-State team that suffered mightily on the field of the Cornhuskers. Look at it another way; after knocking themselves out to tie Iowa State 21-21, the Missouri Tigers were battered all over the field by the same Nebraska that bowed to the Cyclones. Many factors enter into figuring why a team wins one week and loses the next, but as one Big Six sports writer suggested, you can count on one Saturday's beaten Lawrence Typewriter Exchange NOTE BOOKS --team to "burn" all week long, generating enough steam to win the next Saturday's game. 2.

SUNDAY BOB HOPE "Princess and the Pirate" Russians Telegraph Appeal to University Faculty members of the University of Leningrad appealed directly to the faculty of the University of Kansas by cablegram yesterday, asking them to do their utmost to bring about the defeat of Germany and the end of the war. The 700-word message from the 35 Russian educators was prepared at a meeting celebrating the 19th anniversary of the founding on the University of Leningrad. The message said that the faculty members of the University of Leningrad played the roles of carpenters and plasterers in reconstructing the University after it had been bombed. Most of the cablegram told about the havoc and destruction done to Russia by Germany during the invasion, and urged scientists in the democratic countries to press forward in scientific research to bring a quicker defeat of Germany.
