Mc CLOUD AND NUCKOLLS ARE FLUNKING
Jottings: The University of Colorado is run on the quarter basis of eligibility and it's a lucky thing. . . . Two first teamers, senior all-conference star Pete McCloud and sophomore flash Heath Nuckolls, have boycotted their classrooms on the Boulder campus and are flanking out of school, intentionally. . . . Big things were predicted for Nuckolls but now he won't be eligible next year. . . . Although Missouri was the springboard of the Big Six in basketball this year, George Edwards has much brighter prospects for next year. . . . He has eight first-class freshmen coming up to team with his six returning lettermen from this season. . . . The Tiger football team is also setting pretty. . . . Of the entire number of men that were eligible to play football for the Bengals next fall only one, Art Santow, has not joined some branch of the service which will defer him from Uncle Sam's draft call. . . Red Wade, nimble-footed, ambidextrous quarterback, was the last one to join a group as he enlisted in a branch of the Navy.
Two members of the classy Coffeyville Juco basketball squad have already determined where they are going to school. . . One of them virtually "signed a contract" with Colorado Saturday while in the City and the other has expressed a preference for Kansas providing he gets some kind of a job that will help with his expenses. . . Both players, by the way, averaged over nine points a game in that tough Eastern Juco division. . . Still in a Coffeyville mood, this lad Horace Huggins who is listed on the roster as a substitute for All-American (?) Bob Doll on the Colorado cage squad certainly did display some fancy basketball against Kansas. . . Although he never starts a game and plays very little, Huggins really has the confidence of his teammates. . . "Tis said they would rather have him in the lineup than the "Great" Doll. . . In fact, when Doll fouled out Friday night the Buffalo quintet breathed a sigh of relief and were confident they could win the game. . . Doll's downfall can be laid directly to his rampaging affairs with his girl.
GARDNER DID WHAT HE COULD
To quote Monday's Kansas City Star: "There's a whispering campaign against that Big Six basketball coach who is said to have scouted Kansas in the Oklahoma Aggie clash here Tuesday and turned his notes over to the Colorado masterminds. . . . A shady trick—if true". . . The Daily Kansan doesn't have any qualms whatsoever about spilling the dope. . . . Little incidents like this by Jack Gardner are just the things that tend to make distasteful relations between the two biggest state schools in Kansas. . . . And to think that Gardner is trying to build character at Kansas State. . . . Just to keep the records straight, here is another version on why Frosty Cox left Kansas. . . . This one is probably the most correct also. . . . It happened back in the days when Cox was freshman coach. . . . The varsity was engaged in a scrimage and Cox was playing on the opposition. . . . In a little mix-up Ray Urie, varsity performer, nicked Cox with his elbow. . . . Cox whirled around and hit Urie. . . . And that was the beginning of the end for Mr. Cox.
To demonstrate once again that Cox has no control over his players, this little incident can be related. . . . It happened during the game Saturday night when Colorado was losing to Stanford. . . . In the dressing room Jack Stirling, sophomore substitute, asked Pete McCloud, star of the previous night's win but possessor of nary a point thus far in the Stanford game, if he was satisfied with the way he was playing. . . . McCloud answered that certainly he was. . . . He was playing his game and doing his part out there. . . . This roused the ire of the rest of the squad and when the team went out for the next half there was not the least sign of comradeship or spirit among the players. . . . Neither McCloud nor Doll are popular with their teammates. . . . After the game that night, when the season was over for all of the players and they all had plans to either ceebrate or just fool around with their friends, McCloud couldn't find a soul who wanted him around. . . . He was forced to walk the streets with a high school youngster. . . . What price glory, how fleeting fame.
ALLEN MAY RECOMMEND 14 LETTERS
Don't be too surprised if "Phog" Allen asks the Athletic Board to grant about 14 varsity "K's" for basketball and a like number of gold basketballs for wishing the Big Six title. . . . Instead of Allen getting into the N.C.A.A. finals or one of his two students, Cox of Colorado or Rupp of Kentucky, it remained for Everett Dean, the Stanford coach to gain that honor. . . His Indians will use the Dartmouth Indians Saturday night for the title. . . The Dartmouth team is coached by Ossie Cowles who played under Dean at little Charlotte College of Northfield Minn. . . . What a game that will be. . . The two top Dartmouth scorers are George Munroe and Jim Olsen. . . They finished in third in the Eastern Intercollegiate League this season. . . And spanked the college with it comes from good authority that the reason the Indiana team is not playing this winter was because the high-scoring "sporadic" game against its junior grades test or mislaid until the hockey season was over. . . But now that a successful basketball season has been established to move on. It's been a lot of fun and after that we are mingling with the players on their road trips hope some practice sessions, it is a pretty definite fact that this University has a big bunch of fellows representing the school on the basketball floor. But no time to reminisce now for Alan Houghton is ready to take over the sports editor's desk. Here's the copy paper and the typewriter, Alan, go to it.
Stanford Indians On Hill Tomorrow
If local Hill-ites see several tall, good-looking skyscrapers wandering around the campus tomorrow morning and afternoon, they needn't be surprised. These "skyscrapers" will be the Stanford basketball team which is coming to Mt. Oread on the invitation of Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Jayhawker basketball coach, to gain a mental relaxation from their hum-drum existence in Kansas City.
Dr. Allen said this morning that he had extended the inviett Dean of the Indians purely as a friendly
Dr. Allen said this mornin-
tation to Coach Everett Dean of
gesture. Last year, Allen said,
he went over to Kansas City to
have lunch with the Washington
State College Cougars,
winners of the Western Division.
At that time they had gone stale
because the boys were used to living
on the campus and the city life
 didn't agree with them. When the
Cougars met Wisconsin in the finals
their play was lackadaisical and
sloppy and they lost by a good margin.
Luncheon for Two Teams
For that reason, Allen wants Stanford to be completely relaxed for the game against the Dartmouth Indians Saturday night. The Kansas coach will go over to Kansas
City tomorrow morning and come back with the Stanford aggregation in a bus.
The squad will then be taken on a tour of the campus, town, and Haskell Institute. After all the interesting sights of Lawrence have been shown and explained to the players, a luncheon will be held in the Old English room of the Memorial Union building at 12:30 p.m. This luncheon will be for the players of the Kansas and Stanford squads with their coaching staffs and publicity agents.
The Stanford team which will come to the campus will average six feet two and two-thirds inches (continued to page seven)
Cunningham Returns To Referee Relays
A new feature of the relays this year will be an open championship 880 relays event for Kansas High Schools. Both class A and class B representatives will be eligible for competition. The established 880 relay event for the high schools of Kansas City, Mo., will be on the attractive two day menu again this year.
Heading the Big Ten conference delegations will be Minnesota's squad of Golden Gophers which will include 24 men for the relays. Colorado has already indicated that a squado of 12 will represent the Buffaloes, Coach Hargiss said today. With the relays nearly a month away, advance inquiries point to one of the finest fields of contestants in recent years for the games.
880-Yard Kansas Relay
Dr. Glenn Cunningham, formerly the world's greatest miler, and now director of athletics and professor of physical education at Cornell College, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, will return to his Alma Mater to serve as referee at the twentieth annual University of Kansas relays and Interscholastic Track and Field Meet, April 17 and 18, Gwinn Henry, director of the carnival, announced today. Minnesota Will Send 24
Entry blanks are going out this week to colleges and Universities throughout the country, and to all high schools in the state. H. W. Hargiss, University of Kansas track coach and general manager of the relays, announced today. A great deal of interest in this year's carnival, traditionally one of the outstanding events of its kind in the nation, has been evidenced by the preliminary correspondence and inquiries which have been coming into the offices of the athletic department here.
The special events, university class relays, college class and junior college relay, will again feature the carnival. Early interest manifested indicates a record representation for the college and university events. The fact that enrollments in the various high school institutes and clinics held this year under University auspices have been heavier than in recent years, is expected to produce a large entry list in the inter-scholastic events, Director Henry said.
