Jayhawk jabberwock

AN ALL STAR TEAM
Interesting to this writer was an all-Jayhawk basketball team named recently by a downtown Lawrence man from Kansas teams since 1930. The selector of the squad claimed to have witnessed in action every Jayhawk squad since that date.
The court fan placed at the forward positions Howard Engleman, the Houdini of the Hoops, and Ray Ebling, three-times the conference's leading scorer. At center was lanky Charley Black, ace of this year's Iron Five. For the guard positions he chose Ralph Miller as fast as they come, and high-scoring Fred Pralle.
The fan then went even further, and named his second team. Bob Allen and Ted O'Leary were at the forward posts, towering Al Wellhausen held down the center slot, and Lyman Corliss and Ray Evans were the reserve guards
Pity the poor opposition which would have to face such squads as that! Even then such men as Buescher, Kline, Noble, Kappleman, and others are missing. Mount Oread has certainly seen in recent years a parade of the best cage talent in the nation.
NY—HOW THEY'D LIKE TO WIN!
To a Nebraska sports fan a basketball victory over a Jayhawk squad means what a football victory over the Huskers would mean to a Kansas fan.
Norris Anderson, sports editor of the Nebraska student paper, recently voiced those sentiments when he declared before the first Nebraska-Kansas game at Lincoln that any Husker basketball team which downs Phog Allen's men can consider themselves to have had a successful season, regardless of their record for the remainder of the year.
Anderson, the Big Six's most rabid Allenphobe, was disappointed at Lincoln, and will probably be disappointed here too. We just can't see the smaller invaders downing the Jayhawkers, Black or no Black.
JUST JABBER
Mavin Sollenberger and Ralph Miller are both seeing action in a Wichita city league this winter . . . Miller is the second highest scorer in the league trailling little Dick Smith, former Alva great—and may get a bid to join the Wichita city champions when they go to Denver for the national AAU championships . . . There is some talk about this same Wichita picking up Ray Evans for the big tourney, but nothing is likely to come of it as Evans is only a junior.
Howard Engleman is doing all right with the Bartlesville cagers this year, although the team as a whole has been something of a disappointment. Wood reaches us that the Iowa State Daily Collegiate will soon join the list of collegiate publications with women sports editors . . . Ed Weir, Murray track coach, picks Missouri to win the Big Six indoor meet, with his squad and K-State battling it out for second . . . Our congrats to Betty Lou Perkins, the Kansan's first woman sports columnist, for the fine column she turned out Friday.

Black May Play
Schnellbacher Hates To Study Female Fans Bother Him
One fine morning when he was thirteen years old Otto Schnellbacher decided to try salt water swimming. He stood poised on the sandy beach; expanded his developing young chest, and tripped out to the Pacific surf. Enroute to a raft some 100 yards away, a breaker and a persistent undertow almost drowned him. Four times Otto has entertained*
In New York this winter Otto created quite a sensation among his teammates by getting calls from women all the time. Four different females phoned the hotel for him, the most persistent being a pair of twins named Cookie and Muffie Lane. Cookie and Muffie told Otto they had seen him play in the Garden and wondered if he would like to have a drink with them down at the bar. Otto tried to explain that he was in training, but they kept calling and calling. He was quite relieved when the team finally pulled out of town. (Reading between these lines strictly forbidden.) Hates To study
Even back in Kansas Otto is not safe from his admiring fans. Cookie and Muffie write him regularly.
When Otto was a young thing folks were calling him "Snelly" and his greatest ambition was that someday "Snelly" Schnellbacher would headline sports pages as a big league baseball star. Since, his yen for the bat has lost its fire. Football and basketball top his list now, and he wants to coach.
Otto hates to study, but nevertheless he manages to maintain a better than C average along with holding down the presidency of Delta Chi fraternity and a seat on the Inter Fraternity council. According to his teammates he is an active member of Quack Club, but Otto denies this.
Next to studying Otto dislikes writing letters. He overcomes his aversion only on only rare occasions
O T O SCHNELLBACHER - FURNARD
Otto insists he doesn't blush easily, but he confesses that once even the impregnable Schnellbacher poise failed. That once was at a high school dance. He was wearing a new suit—ordered several sizes too large to allow for growing—and his suspenders broke.
in order to maintain intermittent correspondences with four girls—not counting Cookie and Muffie. Schnellbacher Blushes
But high school wasn't always like (continued to page five)
Baker Will Start Against Cornhuskers
Whether forward Charley Black sees action or not against the invading Nebraska Cornhuskers Tuesday night depends entirely upon whether medical authorities give the tall junior the "go-ahead" signal, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach declared today.
"Clean as a Whistle"
Allen stated that Black will probably see some action at least against the Huskers if doctors consider him fit. Otherwise, the Jayhawks will be playing their sixth straight game without his services.
At any rate, Coach Allen declared Black will not be in condition to occupy a starting berth. Joining Black on the injury list are sophomore guards Bill Brill and Armand Dixon, thus necessitating a revamping of the starting Jayhawk lineup.
To meet the injury jinx Allen has moved scrappy forward "Sparky" McSpadden back into Dixon's vacated guard post. McSpadden's forward slot will he beld down by footballer Hoyt Baker, occupying a starting position for the first time in his college basketball career. Baker has earned the starting nod with his high-scoring performances in recent Jayhawk games.
The Nebraskans will bring to Hech auditorium a small but determined crew led by a fine guard of the Fitz-Held tradition, "Moxie" Young. Aiding Young will be two high-scoring Husker cagers, Bob Heinzelman and John Thompson. Thompson is one of the conference's top point-makers this winter.
The Huskers will be out for re-
