UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Who do you think is hollering now? Recently, the sports editor of the South Bend, Ind., daily was complaining bitterly about a star basketball player who had been steered away from a large midwestern university (no doubt Notre Dame) and the next thing that was seen of him was at a Big Ten school (perhaps Northwestern, one of the closest rivals of the Irish). "A clear case of subsidization, said the South Bend scribe, who has, incidentally,allen in line with Dr. F. C. Allen's proposal for a high commissioner of collegiate athletics. In this particular instance, the player in question received an urgent telegram telling him to hurry home as his mother was critically ill. A few weeks later his cager was burning the courts up or this neighbor school—and apparently there was nothing to the sick mother story" at all. A disusting, low down trick, true. But maybe it will help do its bit in bringing about the creation of a "Judge Landis for college sports" which is so needed now to crack down on such admitted proselytors as Tulsa and Oklahoma &M, and will be needed so much more after the war. Why it might be an event of significance is just this: When he biggest scholarship-giving, layer-getting, school in the country,ets bit, things are bound to happen.
Wade Is All-Star
Cliff "Dynamite" Wade, letter guard on the football team last fall, has given the center berth on the Vichita hockey league all-star sexet. Wade, who has been going some weekends for the Sunday night games, has played for the Dessnas, who lost out to Boeing in the playoff when the former's manager and star player, Eddie Coulter, suffered a serious head injury in the first play-off game.
Making Up For Lost Time
Making Up For Lost Time
The Baker University self-coached cage aggregation is really making up for lost time. Without a coach, for their athletic director Emil S. Lison is still recuperating in a Kansas City hospital after suffering a broken leg 18 weeks ago, the lakers took it upon themselves to run the team, and starting the second semester, Feb. 1, an extensive schedule was drawn up, so intensive, in fact, that they will play five games in the next 22 days.
Brookfield Takes Over
Price Brookfield's 18 points against UU. recently sent the Iowa State center to the top of the Big Six individual scoring heap with a 12.5 average. Jayhawk Charley Moffett, who was handicapped by illness at Ames, scored only three points in that contest, but he still remains third in the conference with an 11-point average, just behind Grove Ramsey, Oklahoma, who boasts 11.8 points per contest.
Lots of Rumpus!
Probably the most excitement and enthusiasm accompanying any high school basketball game anywhere is crumping in Topeka this week where the Trojans are getting ready to tackle the Newton Railroaders Saturday night in the capital city. Newton has waded through 11 consecutive foes including Topeka, and are groomed as the "team to beat" in the state tournament next month. The Teopakens have drubbed two powerful eastern fives, Ward and Shawnee Mission, in their last two games and are hoping to upset Frank Lindley's Newtonians. With a capacity crowd of better than 3,000 assured, the whole city of Topeka is backing their team to the limit. The Chamber of Commerce has had 1,000 car stickers and 100 posters printed. Students have
plastered the school building with "Beat Newton" signs. A 50-foot banner reading "Derail Railroaders" hangs in the gym with a 40-foot "Beat Newton" streamer in the cafeteria keeping the spirit alive during the lunch hour. There will be a pep assembly Friday morning, highlighted by a talk from the game captain against the Railroaders. Then there will be another boisterous rally in the afternoon, with the captain giving the old "fight 'em talk" again. At this meeting 15 members of the giant Topeka High band will signal the final blow-off with a blast of horns in the school's hall. Still not through, the revitalized pep club and T club will hold a pre-game pep rally in the gym, with a parade and snake dance following through the downtown district. A sound truck has been obtained for the parade, too. With all this, and the entire student body yelling their hearts out for them at the game, too, we can't see how the Topeka boys can miss. All we can say is, if they do fail, we would surely hate to be a member of the team entering the school halls Monday morning.

DG's Win First In Organized Group; Play IWW in Final
Taking the lead at the very beginning of the game, the Delta Gamma's appeared to be slated for the championship. But the Chi Omega's fought hard and overtook the lead and maintained it until just a few minutes before the end. The Delta Gamma's put all steam ahead, and forged up to make it a tie at the whistle.
Tied at the end with a score of 28-28, a five minute play-off took place, and the final score was 33-30 in favor of the Delta Gamma quintet.
Ruth Payne, Delta Gamma, was hitting the baskets and made 24 points for her team. The Chi Omega's high score woman was Elizabeth Baker, who made 20 points. Thirty-three fouls in the game kept the referee busy, and gave several opportunities for free throws for both teams.

Servicemen's Class To Square Dance
Square dancing will be featured at the service men's dancing class, from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday in answer to many requests from the men, Barbara Winn, president of the WAA, announced today. At a meeting of the WAA board yesterday, it was decided to make this Saturday's class in the form of a party with the women dressing appropriately.
Miss Ruth Hoover, physical education instructor, will call the square dances, and Miss Joie Stapleton, instructor in physical education and a member of executive committee at the Community Center, will play. The University High School square dancing group will

demonstrate the dances first, and then the members of the WAA and Tau Sigma, dancing sorority, will act as partners for the service men.
With the growth of popularity in the dancing class, WAA and Tau Sigma have found themselves short of women to act as partners, and have asked any women students who are interested in helping to report at the Community building Saturday night to act as hostesses.
