Regular Basketball Practices Begin
Dr. Forrest C. Allen's basketball squad began regular four- week practice sessions this week in preparation for the coming basketball season. Missing from the squad are 13 team candidates now out for football.
Practice sessions this week, Allen said, have been devoted primarily to fundamentals, with the emphasis on set screen plays.
The practice sessions close each day with a five minute scrimmage. Men standing out in the scrimmages so far this week
have been Bill Forsythe, Harold McSpadden, Bill Brill, Bob Fitzpatrick, and John "Thin Man" Buescher. Buescher reported for the first time Tuesday, having been working at the Sunflower Ordnance Works, and immediately displayed mid-season form.
Allen also announced that an additional game had been scheduled at Hoch auditorium for December 1 against the Leavenworth Reception Center squad. The service team is coached by Ted O'Sullivan formerly a well-known game official in the Middle West.
Said Allen of Buescher: "The boy seems to be better than ever this year."
The early date for the opening game will give the 13 cagemen out for football less than one week to prepare for the contest following the Missouri football game. Sherwood To Report
Football men who are expected to report for basketball include Hoyt Baker, Charley Black, Dick Channel, George Dick, Bob Dole, Ray Evans, Bill Palmer, Junius Penny, Otto Schnellbacher, Paul Turner, Kenneth Adams, Walt Sheridan, and Gene Sherwood. Sherwood, a junior college transfer, formerly starred at Sublette High School with sophomore Schnellbacher.
Also added to the schedule has been a doubleheader with service teams at the Kansas City municipal auditorium January 16, the day following semester examinations. Opposition that night will be furnished by the Leavenworth squad, and by the Camp Crowder team from Neosho, Mo.
In discussing this year's prospects Allen said: "Without Ralph Miller our team will be without the speed it possessed last year. However, boys like Evans, Schnellbacher, Ballard, and Black will give us plenty of size." "Great Interest"
Allen stated that he had also received word from Ned Irish, Madison Square Garden athletic promoter sphere the Jayhawks will meet Fordham University, that railroads have assured him that transportation facilities for the December trip will be available.
"Advance sale inquiries this fall has indicated great interest in the sport downtown." Allen said. "Defense workers working in the daytime are looking forward to basketball as a source of entertainment at night."
Allen also stated that Navy officers with the unit stationed here had purchased 14 season tickets for their wives.

Two Big Six schools—this University and the University of Nebraska—can claim the new Governor-elect of Kansas, Andy Schooppeel, as a former athletic star.
Schoeppel attended this University from 1916 to 1918, and while here was a letter man on the baseball nine, coached by Jay Bond. Among his teammates were such Jayhawk athletes as "Dutch" Lonberg, basketball coach at Northwestern University, and John Bunn, dean of men at Stanford University.
Schoeppel served in the navy air force during the first war. He then returned to his studies—this time at Lincoln—and there he climaxed his athletic career.
At Nebraska Schoeppel received all-American recognition at an end position, with his bruising defensive play and pass receiving. Big and sturdy, the Ness City man built up a reputation as a gridster that still ranks him as one of the greatest ends ever to perform with a Cornhusker eleven.
At this University Schoeppel had not even reported for the fall sport, preferring to devote his energies to baseball and his studies.
Dean Sims, college junior, has been named director of publicity for the group.

credit, they took Alpha Delti Pi 45 to 11. Then followed the most thrilling game of the year with both teams up to that point undefeated—that between Kappa Alpha Theta's and the Kappa Kappa Gamma's. The Theta hard won victory was by the narrow margin of 21 to 17.
Throughout the tournament IWW players—L. Jacobson, M. Lenski, and F. Davidson—and Theta players —P. Daivs and P. Roberts--have turned in fine performances.
