Rupp, Ex-Kansas Cager Is Featured In Esquire

Adolph Frederick Rupp, guard on the undefeated 1923 University of Kansas basketball team, is featured in the February Esquire in an article by Jimmy Jones called "He's Rapp and Ready." Upon finishing his basketball playing career, he told his coach, Dr. "Phog" Allen, that he planned to follow coaching as a career. "The Midwest is full of good coaches, Adolph," Dr. Allen told him. "Why don't you go down South? There's some
The Baron has made good on all three accounts, according to Esquire. He's talked basketball incessantly; he has won his full share of victories (195 wins to 49 losses); and he's made a name for himself.
Although he played the zone defense in college, he thinks it is now on the way out, says Esquire. He prefers a shifting "man-to-man" in which a player can "switch off" his man in an emergency. His teams alternate a fast and slow break, depending on the defensive setup and which man gets the ball. His system features a five-man offensive with two big fast guards who can shoot long or come down to "set up" plays or drive in for follow shots. He was one of the first college coaches to use the screening block in which there is no actual contact. Now many of the leading teams use a modified screen.
A distinguishing feature of Rupp's is his ability to grate up a profitable feud with his adversaries. He's publicity minded, and his crowd-building strategy is based on the idea of getting people to talk basketball. When The Baron, as he's called, enters the gym there is always a chorus of boos from his renown "heckling society." He always has to "take it" on the cage floor, but he's more than willing to, as it stimulates enthusiasm for his game. To the basketball fans of the South, Rupp is a sort of active human volcano going around spouting verbiage, and naturally they have to leave their firesides on cold winter nights to go out and boo him. He has a promising little Mountain food coming

STUDENT COURT---end of the court when his boys were shooting that way the year before last. "And when they got the ball and started up the floor, the lights came on as bright as a saloon on Saturday night," he claims.
(continued from page one) Tuesday night the WSGA approved an anti-riot bill and it will go into effect as soon as the MSC passes on it. Monday night, at the joint MSC-WSGA meeting, both bodies signified their approval of the student riot bill.
The bill provides that no student shall take part in any riot and provides that offenders in the future shall be tried by the student court. If at any time a woman student is involved in a student riot, women students will sit on the student court to assist in hearing the case.
The court today was operating without its chief justice, Chad Case, who was called home several days ago. Members of the court are Art Black, Oliver Hughes, Bob Barton, and Jim Borders. The court members refused to predict any date for a decision in the case.

KU Registered In Collegiate Radio Debates
The University is one of the 247 colleges and universities registered in the second series of the national intercollegiate radio prize debates, under the auspices of the American Economic Foundation, which will be held from February 15 to April 18 according to an announcement by William F. Peirce, chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees.
The subject is "Should American Youth Support the Re-Establishment After the War of Competitive Enterprise as Our Dominant Economic System?"
Each registered college and university selects its own student entries for the debates by competitions open to all students, to be held prior to Jan. 15. Its best speaker for the affirmative and for the negative then prepare and file a 500-word argument on their side of the argument. Three judges, eminent as writers and critics will select the 16 best affirmative and the 16 best negative arguments, the writers thus qualifying to take part in eight local radio debates over stations of the Blue Network between Feb. 15 and March 15. At the local debates a first prize of $50 goes to the best speaker and a second prize of $25 to his best opponent, these two speakers qualifying for further competition.
Before March 25 these prize winners will submit to the Foundation manuscripts of their opening seven and one-half minute addresses, and the judges will select the two best affirmative and the two best negative, these to be the firstist speakers.
This nation-wide contest is to end when the four finalists will be brought to New York City for appearance, Sunday, April 18, on the "Wake Up, America!" Radio Forum on the Blue Network. A nation-wide panel of listening judges will select the two best speakers who will receive a first prize of a $500 War Savings Bond and $125 cash.

Indiana Trains More Dentists
Enrollment in the Indiana University School of Dentistry for the second semester is 14 per cent higher than ordinary.

This is one year ahead of previous schedules.
