C. O. SKINNER WILL APPEAR TOO
Cornelia Otis Skinner and the Kansas basketball team perform at Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Saturday night, one to give a dramatic presentation, the other to sing the basket. Wonder if Cornelia Otis's drama in adjacent Music hall will be disturbed by the roars of the huge crowd in the arena cheering (bronx) Phog.
--the end zone. Tom Lillard caught a pass from Hall and scored the extra point.
HOW STRONG ARE JAYHAWKS?
K. U.'s basketball five showed signs of "latent potentiality" against the frosh, as the cultured Easterner seeing his first Jayhawk basketball game phrased it. That is about the best that can be said of Tuesday's game.
Of course, the game was only an opening warmup and didn't carry any high stakes like a Big Six or Oklahoma Aggle game. It deserves to be judged from that standpoint.
But two serious chips in armor appeared: the fast break looked like a slow freight and strong reserve strength was lacking. One strength: defense.
The smooth fast break exhibited by Kansas fast season when Ralph Miller sparkled probably will not be approached until later in the season, if then. Sophomores Otto Schnellbacher and Bill Brill may not come around until a few games have been lost in December. Also, Ray Evans, Paul Turner and Schnellbacher just checked in football togs. "Football muscles" sometime require a month to eliminate.
Last season Coach Phog Allen had the strongest reserves in the Big Six in T. P. Hunter, Vance Hall, Bob Johnson, Hutch Walker, Jack Ballard, and Turner.
Whenever the first five hit a snag, Phog sent in one of these six to pep the Jayhawks. Reserve strength won several games for Kansas. Remember Hunter's sharpshooting and rebound work and Turner's last-minute basket that tied the K-State game and enabled Kansas to win in overtime?
This season opens with only two proven Kansas reserves. Two of these four men, Turner, Brill, Ballard and Schnellbacher, will be bolstered by the other pair on the bench. Max Kissell, Harold McSpadden, Bill Short and Bob Fitzpatrick do not compare with last year's second line.
The "transitional man-for-man defense with a zone principle" appears as strong as ever. Black and Brill were controlling the ball off the backboard.
PHOG WORRIES MOST ABOUT THESE TWO
If you talk to Dr. Allen you can get the impression that, for personal reasons he would rather whip Lt. Jack Gardner and Bruce Drake than any other coaches. Remember the slugging verbal battle Phog Allen and Drake had in Hoch last January over Gerald Tucker and other assorted Oklahoma misdeeds? Gardner is believed to have turned over his scout reports on Kansas to Frosty Cox of Colorado before the NCAA western playoffs last March.
JABBERWOCK
One disgruntled grid fan declares that "if part of the topheavy salaries paid the football coaches had been subtracted for 'buying' players, Kansas might have won two or three more games." . . Marvin Sollenberger, who graduates this semester, will work for either Curtiss-Wright at St. Louis or Boeing at Wichita as an aeronautical engineer . . . The Gardner Clippers will substitute for the Iowa Seahawks, previously scheduled to meet Kansas at Kansas City Jan. 29 . . .

Norman, (Special)—William and Mary college, a powerful football team spawned in the hills of old Virginia, will charge with the frenzy and dash of a Confederate cavalry squadron when it rides against Oklahoma's Sooners in Oklahoma's semi-centennial game and football finale for 1942 at Owen field here Saturday.
Oklahoma Will Meet Powerful William and Mary

Kansas will play Creighton here Dec. 15 instead of at Omaha as previously scheduled. The game will replace the Iowa University contest scheduled for Hoch auditorium Dec. 21 and canceled by Iowa.
Fresh from a 32-19 setback by Oklahoma A. & M, on the invineble Stillwater court, the all-American manned Gardner Naval Clippers still rank evenly with a slow-starting Kansas cage five whom they meet on the "home court" at Kansas City Saturday night.
Aggies
Defeat
Gardner
Lt. Jack Gardner, former K-State coach who has never whipped the Jayhawks, has height and experience on his side this time. This edge plus the ragged appearance of Kansas so far gives Gardner a good chance of heating Coach F. C. Allen for the first time.
Coach Allen, who says, "I think we can beat them." hasn't had much time to polish the play of Ray Evans, Otto Schnellbacher, and Paul Turner, just off the football field.
Tickets for the Kansas-Gardner game are being sold at 75 cents and a dollar at the Athletic office in Robinson gymnasium. Students can also get Kansas home game season tickets for $1.12 at the office.
Gardner has fashioned his cagers into a working unit after more than a month's practice.
Clipper all-Americans are Grady Lewis and Don Lockard, formerly with Chuck Hyatt's champion Bartlesville Oilers, and Bill Menke, who dealt so much misery when Indiana overwhelmed Kansas in the 1940 NCAA finals at Kansas City and as a member of the Great Lakes outfit that handed the Jayhawkers one of their five defeats last season.
