V-12's Beat SC Blanks Top Ads In League Play
Weakened by colds, the Ship's Company went down before the V-12's 47-24 in Lawrence League basketball play in the Community building last night. Zeller, athletic officer of the EM training school, held Pyle, leading V-12 scorer, to four points, while Hagerdorn, who scored eight points for the S.C., limited Heim, the other towering V-12er to four points also. Lutz, with eight points, and Miller and Luehring with six each, kept the trainees ahead. V-12 led at the half. 25-12.
Bock, the league's leading scorer, and Hall, a newcomer to the Blanks, scored 17 and 16 points respectively to give the Blanks a 53-24 victory over the sixth place S.O.W. Ads, in the second game last night. Hoke led the S.O.W. scoring with 14 points. Half time score, 25-18. Blanks
The Machinist's Mates, now holding a record of two victories and two defeats, are favored over the S.O.W. Techs, in the first game of the twin bill tonight, and the V-12's once again should be able to handle the Blanks in the second game of the evening. Despite the high scoring of Bock and Hall, the height and material of the V-12 team was the deciding factor in the previous encounter of the two squads, and probably will be so again.
Banquet Will Be Given For Graduating MM's
Members of the seventeenth division of Machinist's Mates, which will graduate tomorrow, will be entertained at a banquet sponsored by the training school's Welfare department at the Community building tonight.
The party, described by Chief Yeoman George Starkey, sponsor-in-chief, as an "informal get-to-together," will be highlighted by the singing of the quartet from the eighteenth division, Joe Lucero, Ronald Hill, Egon Hanson, and Raymond Sanborn.
The dinner, another in the series given to each departing division, will be prepared and served by members and their wives of the junior divisions of the ship.
Feb. 25 Deadline for Seniors To Pay Class Dues
Feb. 25 will be the last day on which seniors being graduated in February may pay their dues at the business office in Frank Strong hall, Betty Lou Perkins, member of the publicity committee, announced today.
"Everyone should pay as soon as possible." Miss Perkins urged.
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Nearly every sports scribe in the country is adding his "few thousand words" concerning Bruce Drake and Harold Keith's red hot article, tagged "Seven-foot Trouble," in the current issue of the Saturday Evening Post. In last night's edition of the Kansas City Star C. E. McBride reviews the article, and, in adding his own little bit, states "that Drake is sportman enough to properly evaluate the idea, label it worthy of trial, and give its inventor (Allen) full credit. All true, and it is a fact that Drake is one of the very few coaches in the country that supports Allen's proposal, although there are a large percentage of cage mentors who do support some form of rules change to curb goal tending. One proposal would be to award a field goal when a defensive player touches a try for goal above the level of the basket after the ball has started its downward arc. This is absurd for although it may stop the "mezzanine hurdler's" advantage on the defense, it will on the other hand do nothing to stop his "goal dunking"—just as great an advantage—on the offense.
Drake's Slant on Allen
Drake and Keith give their opinion as to why many coaches shy away from Phog's suggestions and we are inclined to agree.
"I think another reason why the idea hasn't gone across is Phog himself," writes Keith for Drake. "Phog is the dean of collegiate basketball coaches in America, having been ranked No. 1 by the Helms Athletic Foundation. He has been on top for almost forty years, and it's human nature for other coaches to want to beat a man who has been king for that long. Phog is so foxy that the other coaches think any time he suggests a reform he has some ulterior motive up his sleeve."
The Only Solution
We actually believe that the only reason Drake, Keith, Oklahoma & Co. are so strong in supporting the 12-foot basket is not because of Allen and his proposal in itself, but rather because of one man, Bob Kurland, the 7-foot Oklahoma. In his freshman year Kurland batted away from above the rim 22 sure Sooner shots to pave the way for an Aggie victory. This season, with an added inch of height and a year's experience, Kurland, who is still growing, is far better at batting them out than last year. In fact, in Saturday night's Aggie-Sooner duel at Norman, National Rules Chairman St, Clair, SMU., will be specially perched in a crow's nest above the hoop to see that the Ida giant does not deflect any balls in the imaginary cylinder above the circle. N. Y. Tourney Should
Bring Followers
According to Henry Iba, Kurland is today the greatest performer in collegiate basketball. On the earlier eastern trip this season the Aggies played Westminster. C.C.N.Y., and
Temple, and Kurland started off the controversy about formulating the rules to offset his advantages which has been gaining momentum as the days go by. Now that the Ibamen have accepted a bid to the Madison Square Garden basketball tourney starting March 16, Kurland should further aid the 12-foot cause. For when the Kurland goal tending and dunking starts taking the measure of the East's greatest teams when the chips are down and money is at stake, Allen's line of followers should gradually increase. It's not for the betterment of the game in itself that most coaches are interested, unfortunately, but rather they seem to care only "for their own hides."
Cage Info
Maybe it is a good thing Kansas played Pittsburg early in the season when they did . . . The Lancemen have been showing rapid improvement and last night downed a fairly strong Arkansas five, 50 to 42 . . . Lance would like nothing better than to get even with the Jayhawks and the Kansas coach for not appreciating his officiating efforts at Norman last Saturday night . . . With 20 straight victories under their cap, the Olathe Clippers might run into a little difficulty at Columbia Saturday night when they bump into Missouri's Tigers . . . Bill Chandler, Marquette coach, who has been advocating five fouls for collegiate play, might have to up it to six if many situations occur like one in a high school game here last Friday . . . A Southeast High player was ejected before first half intermission after committing five fouls, which is allowed in Missouri's schools, and which was agreed upon before the game . . . Rather, why don't the coaches for a change spend a little time in teaching their boys not to foul?
