PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1942 Jayhawkers Ready for Comeback By Opposing Leavenworth Flyers The Jayhawks will try to get back on the winning trail tonight as they take on their third consecutive service foe, the Ft. Leavenworth Flyers, at 7:30 in Hoch auditorium. Many of the men from Ft. Leavenworth are former college stars and present a fast quintet of good ball handlers. Included in the starting lineup for the soldiers are Marvin Ryden, Pittsburgh State Teachers' College, center; George Morse, Marquette University, and Alden Tilberg, Bethany College, Kansas, forward; and John McIntire of Peru State Teachers' College, Peru, Neb., and Dewey Carr, of North Texas State Teachers, Denton, Texas, guards. The Flyers will present a rolling type of offense intended to flatten their rival's defense and allowing open shots from in front of the basket. Their main offensive hope rests in the person of Sgt. Alden Tilberg, forward, who has scored 32 points in leading his team to victories over the K. U. Machinist Mate's 35 to 23, and the K. C. Geneva Chestnut Inns, an independent team, 57 to 33. Like Hutchinson NAS, Ft. Leavenworth plays an independent or "town team" type of ball. To put more weight and power on the floor Dr. Allen has inserted husky Don Diehl, Smith Center, into his starting lineup. Dr. Allen hopes that by having Diehl coupled with Don Barrington, Kansas can take care of the rebound situation. After tonight's game the Jayhawkers will journey to Topeka to meet Washburn Friday night, and to Kansas City Saturday where they will appear as the feature of a triple-header in the Municipal auditorium, against Rockhurst College. A return engagement with Rockhurst will be played here the following Monday night. This intensive series of non-conference and service men's games all are primarily aimed to get the Jayhawkers prepared to defend their Big Six crown when they open their conference season against Missouri early in January. The officials will be Chalmer Woodard, Southwestern, and Nick Biscotte, Villanova. The former was the coach of this year's championship Lawrence High football team Starting Lineups: Starting Lineup Kansas P Ft.Leavenworth Barrington F Tilberg Lindquist F Morse Corder C Ryden McSpadden G Carr Diehl G McIntire Repairs on Blake Hall Halted Once Again Repairs on the roof of Blake hall have once again been halted and cannot be resumed until new tile is obtained from Coffeyville, University officials have stated. Little work has been done the past few weeks on the repairs which were started early last fall when it was noticed that the tar paper and tile had been ruined by wind, hail, and rainstorms. The difficulty of finding tile to match that already on the roof has also slowed the work which was made possible by an appropriation of $5,000 by the state legislature.

Psychologists to Meet Monthly Psi Chi and the Psychology Club, at a joint organization meeting yesterday, decided to meet once a month instead of every two weeks as they have formerly. The next meeting will be after the holidays. Mary Margaret Reynolds, Judith Schwade, and Alice Goff were appointed to plan the program for January. From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor Jack Copeland, of the Wichita Beacon, recently stated that in normal times, Dr. Allen would have hit the sports pages at least five times with higher goals, longer quarters, or shorter trips. But, he adds, the war has caused the nation's No. 1 basketball coach to go into hiding, at least as far as revolutionary ideas in basketball are concerned. - * * Well, maybe it's better, for Phog's present "down to earth" statements, such as his view that this war-time season will be "wild and woolly," seems to us a lot more sensible than his normal revolutionary brainstorms that "big time college football is doomed," that the baskets should be raised to 12 feet lest the tall "goons" take over the game, etc. Concerning the last point, the current issue of Esquire Magazine presents in its sports poll the fans' opinion as to whether they would favor the raising of the basket from 10 to 12 feet for the purpose of preventing these human skyscrapers from blocking shots. The public did vote "yes" to the tune of 52 per cent but apparently were entirely ignorant of one of the most important points. That is that the structural limitations of high school and smaller college gyms and field houses is such that the change would be very nigh impossible. Higher baskets would call for building alterations with pain to the taxpayers, especially in rural districts where high school basketball is considered one of the essentials of the American way of life. * * Fifty-four per cent of the sports-casters questioned in the survey voted "no," while 63 per cent of the sports editors were of the negative opinion. Most of the big cage coaches were opposed to Dr. Allen's suggestion with the general opinion that the terrific total cost of raising the baskets would offset greatly any advantage derived thereof. The opinion of one of these "goal tenders" was that the 12-foot basket would be farther away than ever for the little fellows and their chances of making rebounds would be slimmer than ever. In most high school gyms, if the basket were raised to 12 feet, players would be unable to get any trajectory at all, and, according to one expert, scoring would be cut at least 15 per cent. Some sports editors were even of the opinion that fans got a big kick out of seeing these cage giants bat the ball out of the basket.
