Jayhawk Jabberwock
by Milo Farneti
Arthur Hughes of the St. Joseph Gazette was irked by Kansas actions in the triple-header at Kansas City Saturday. Here's his say:
"There shouldn't be any shortage of basketball referees when the present Kansas squad graduates into officiating as they spend most of the time when on the bench helping the referees by calling the fouls and violations. It may seem strange, but they agreed in their calls and did not call a single foul on a fellow Kansam.
"Ed Ellis (referee) made a start towards reforming one bad practice that has crept into Kansas games, allowing Dean Nesmith, the KU trainer, to trot onto the floor every time there is a time out. . . Ellis notified Nesmith that he must obtain permission from an official before trotting onto the court, but the Kansas trainer was allowed to talk to the players as much as he pleased as neither of the officials joined the KU huddle. Inasmuch as Nesmith does a lot of coaching from the bench it is logical to presume that he does some while passing the water bottles and wiping the players' brows."
--ties have signified their intention to compete in the Relays. The Texas meet, unlike many other nationally-known relays, was not canceled this spring because of specific requests of schools wishing to compete, according to officials.
AS A NEBRASKAN SEES PHOG
Another sports writer, George Abbott of the Daily Nebraskan, sank his hobnails into Phog Allen.
... Phog, perennial—in fact, weekly and almost daily—comes out with several opinions on varied subjects, said opinions usually differing highly with other coaches and athletic experts. The doc rarely misses a chance to put in the public eye an Allen opinion, an Allen team, or at the least—Kansas University.
"In the last 25 months, records, show. Allen has considered the following subjects and made the following statements:
"Gerald Tucker case: 'They say around the circuit I'm the most unpopular guy in the conference. Well, maybe I am . . .' (this after the Kansas coach had poured forth a lengthy tirade about some of the Big Six schools 'starting subsidizing' that would ruin the conference).
"Freshman eligibility: It was a veiled action to make freshmen eligible for the football season, but the faculty men did not have nerve enough to say it that way.' (Conference representatives had just ruled freshmen eligible at the conclusion of the basketball season).
"The Big Six: They are worshippers of the Big Ten and like little imitators they followed the action of the Western conference."
"Basketball: '... is still in its youth, eighteen million spectators can't be wrong.'
"Football: '... this war will prove I was right when I contended that the over-stuffed, ballyhooed, bloated thing which football has become will never survive. Football, the game, will still be with us. College football, the business, will not be.'
"All-out war effort: 'I could see it coming months ago. I changed from ethyl gas to regular. They told me it would get a ping in my motor. Well, we will give the ping to the Japs.'
"Saving rubber: I got myself a bicycle."
"The doctor, then, has made himself heard—on everything. Maybe it's a good thing; maybe it's bad. It is good publicity, whether publicity-grabbing or not."
Schools Enter Texas Relays
Austin. Tex.. Jan. 22—(Special) A program designed to emphasize the contributions of track and field to the national war effort is being planned this year by Texas Relay officials here. The annual event will be held April 3.
Meet officials are emphasizing the benefits in conditioning received by men who compete in track and field events with widely diversified requirements and qualifications.
Already 11 colleges and universities have signified their intention to compete in the Relays. The Texas meet, unlike many other nationally-known relays, was not canceled this spring because of specific requests of schools wishing to compete, according to officials.
Kansas, with the exception of last year, has annually sent tracksters to the Texas Relays, first large track carnival of the year. Only definitely scheduled outdoor meet for the Jayhawkers this season is the Big Six at Kansas City in May.
Except for basic training in home economics and secretarial studies, Finch Junior college this year is emphasizing liberal arts courses.
It's travel and play for the Kansas Jayhawkers this week as they seek them thirteenth consecutive victory in their clash with the Camp Crowder Signaliers at Neosho, Mo. Saturday night.
What you've been waiting for
Armand Dixon, sparking young guard with the one-hand California shot, injured his leg severely during a mix-up with K-State players. Coach F. C. Allen is giving Dixon treatments in an effort to have him ready for the Camp Crowder game. In case of his absence, Bill Brill, sophomore guard, will step into the starting limp.
In the first game played between these two teams Saturday night in Kansas City, the Kansans won 57 to 26. Leading the Signaller attack will be Dick Crayne, former Jayhawk backfield coach; Jack Baker, Westminster star who caged 11 points last week; Bill McCloud, former Newton High School star and an all-state performer; and John Jett, leading scorer on the squad who played at Wake Forest in his college days.

Better Stock Up — to battle this weather
The Jayhawks doubled the score on the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan Wednesday night, 40-20, but were not impressive.
Charlie Black scored seven points during the first period but missed enough close-in shots to have accounted for 20 points. Otto Schnell.bacher, sophomore forward who led scoring with 12 points, was also off form as he continuously banged the ball against the backboard to no avail.
Jayhawkers Go After No.13 At Camp Crowder
Spring Stetson and Pedigree Hats on Display
One encouraging factor in the Kansas State victory was the defensive ability shown by the Jayhawks. Coach Phog Allen drilled his charges on defense the first two days of this week and it had an effect. The Wildeats were able to register only two field goals in the first 20 minutes of play against the Iron Five crew.
Connecticut Enrollment Up
In sharp contrast to conditions prevailing during the World War, the demand for courses in German at Simmons college this year is the greatest in the history of the institution.
University of Connecticut reports that despite wartime conditions it is continuing this year its rapid expansion of services and growth of enrollment.
Camp Crowder Stars Who Meet Kansas

In the accompanying picture, shown from left to right, are two stars of the Camp Crowder basketball team which is scheduled to play Kansas Jayhawks, at Neocho Saturday. John Jett, guard and forward, is shooting for a basket, while Corporal Roland Lauter, former Fort Monmouth star, dribbles the ball, in a workout at the Camp Crowder field house. Jett, who was a professional football player with the Detroit Lions, played basketball at Wake Forest college, in North Carolina.
Creighton Clippers Win Again
Creighton, contender for the mythical national championship and strongest opponent of the Kansas Jayhawkers for Fifth district NCAA cage honors, continued an undefeated string of basketball victories last night at Des Moines, defeating a Missouri Valley opponent, Drake, 40 to 31.
Also winning last night were the Olathe Clippers, who will meet the Bluejays Monday night at Kansas City. The Clippers downed the Nebraska quintet 51 to 37 on the Husker's home court, at Lincoln. Bill Menken, former Indiana star, paced the sailors with 15 points. Bob Heinzelman starred for the losers.
