Jayhawk Jabberwock
by Milo Farneti
By J. Donald Keown, Guest Columnist "SOMETHING TO MARVEL AT"
Time magazine devotes its entire sports section to basketball this week, and very much in the limelight are Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers.
Says the magazine in part: "The University of Kansas (where basketball was introduced by its mentor the late James A. Naismith) last week showed the hoop-eye world something to marvel at. Its team, coached by Forrest C. ("Phog") Allen (Naismith's star pupil), who has won the conference championship in 18 of the last 25 years, took on three teams in one evening, and trounced all three—the North American Bombers of Kansas City (45 to 36), the Rosecrans Field Flyers (71 to 22), and Camp Crowder (57 to 23)."
Also discussed in the article is the recent game in which Oklahoma A & M's "animated oil derricks" gave a demonstration in the art of judo, victims being the Jayhawk quintet and two harried referees.
Other court aggregations mentioned in the article were Creighton, West Texas State Teachers College, Kentucky University, and Western Kentucky State Teachers College.

GAME JABBER FROM K C
Friday night's Kansas-Olathe game was a slow freight in comparison to the Great Lakes-Missouri game which followed it. The former Seton Hall ace, Bob Davies, now in the Great Lakes fold, is just about the most colorful player one could wish to see anywhere.
A troubled individual was the scorekeeper, who only at rare intervals throughout the game had the correct count on his board.
Referees, it seemed, had taken the tip of the St. Joseph sportswriter, and were watching Dean Nesmith when he came out on the court to see that the trainer engaged in no coaching.
The crowd at the games was rather disappointing.
*****
WHO'S THE CAGE KING?
Just who is the country's greatest basketball player? One fan returned from Friday night's games convinced that Davies was the man. A majority of the fans of the country, however, would probably back the former Stanford star, Hank Luisietti. We can also remember a time when Howie Engleman, a former Jay Hawker, would have had plenty of backing.
Just about the best man this writer ever saw in action on a court was one Frank Lubin, Pacific coast veteran who we understand is still seeing a little court duty on the coast. As a Hollywood Universal star, he ran through the star-studded Bartlesville Ollers that evening to score at will.
The big center stood six feet, fixe inches, was very fast, a smooth ball-handler, and a dead shot. If Luisetti was any better than Lubin in his prime, he must have been out of this world.
Intramural Stars Of Week's BB Play
Don Deilh, Beta—He scored 29 points against the ATO quintet, averaging almost a point a minute in the contest.
Gene Olson, Phi Psi—A new student this semester, he evidently filled a gap in the Psi attack, and with Ellis Nicole played a leading part in the Phi Gam upset.
Walt Quiring, Kirk Scott, Dean Huebert, and John Dewell, Phi Delt's—The four men accumulated 75 points against a helpless Triangle squad. None of the quartet played more than three-fourths of the game.
Harry Wherry, Hellhounds — He paced his squad with 20 points against the Jayhawk Coop squad.
Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam — McSpadden was the only bright spot in the dismal Fiji showing against the Phi Psi's. He sank two swishers almost the entire length of the court floor.
Kenneth Cates, ATO "B"—He led his mates with 15 points in their upset triumph over the favored Sigma Chi "B" five.
Watch Can Serve as Compass
An ordinary watch can be used as a compass to determine directions. To do this turn the watch so that the hour hand points to the sun. Half way between the hour hand and 12 o'clock is then south.

Hitler Gets to German Industries
Adolph Hitler has a private income of $12,000,000 a year from a concealed tax of one-half of one per cent of the total wages paid by the heavy industries of the country, according to an article in the Sunday Times of London.
Second Lt. Ben Mandeville, formerly of the anti-tank corps, now of the air borne infantry corps, is back on the campus for a short visit. Lt. Mandeville received his commission from the ROTC department upon his graduation from the University in 1940.

Jayhawks Take Olathe
Iowa Faces Strong Cage Competition
Ames, Iowa Jan.30 (Special) -With but two veterans from last year's team certain of seeing action, the Iowa State Cyclones this week go into action which make or break their conference aspirations. Tomorrow night the Cyclones will be hosts to the Oklahoma Sooners, and on Saturday they will travel to Lawrence to meet Phog Allen's Jayhawkers.
With Rollin Kuebler, returning letterman from last year, on the sidelines with an injury, the task of steadying the Cyclone sophomores will probably fall upon the shoulders of a minor letter winner, Bob Haves, and Reuben Mickelson, letterman, who will probably be in Keuber's center slot.
Ready for action along with Hayes and Mickelson, however, will be a group of exceptionally talented sophomores. Heading the imposing array will be Ron Norman, rookie guard and one of the conference's top scorers this year. Norman may also draw the assignment of guarding Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma ace, tomorrow night.
Last year Tucker, then a sophomore sensation, scored 25 points against the Iowa Staters as the Cyclones upset the Sooners 46 to 43 on the Ames court.
The Sooner's swing north will also take them up against Nebraska Cornhuskers whom they meet Saturday at Lincoln.

Allenmen Lead Throughout Game
Although the sailors from the Great Lakes Naval base stole the show, Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers got back in the victory groove Friday night at Kansas City in the first game of a doubleheader at the Municipal Auditorium by downing the Olathe Clippers 47 to 36. In the second game, the Great Lakes squad pounded a helpless Missouri Tiger quintet into submission, 92 to 45, setting a scoring record for the auditorium.
The Kansas-Clipper game was the rubber game, both squads holding one previous victory over the opposition. The Jayhawkers jumped into an early lead, and never relinquished it. Only at one point in the first half when the desperate Olathe five tied the score were the Jayhawkers in trouble. At halftime Allen's charges held a comfortable 27 to 19 lead.
