One would imagine that group of 13 boys just back from a six-day basketball trip would have loads of interesting little bits to tell on their teammates or what the entire group did. But not this Jayhawker basketball squad. They all seemed too interested in what they were on the trip for—to win three basketball games.
And win three they did. The last two with surprising ease and the first one—well it was a "dog eat dog" affair as Charlie Black put it. The Iowans were plenty tough and never let up for a minutes.
BUESCHER WAS AT HOME
But the DePaul game was something different. Black and Johnny Buescher said that the DePaul crew was the toughest team they had ever faced for the first ten minutes. During that time they played ball like the professional teams of the East. Their passing was fancy and their floorwork was brilliant.
But the Jayhawks quickly adapted their style of play to that of DePaul and in the last ten minutes of the first half they broke the strength of the Blue Demons and went on to win handily. Even though the 20-point margin of victory was the largest registered on the trip, the entire team was of the opinion that DePaul was the best team they faced.
The trip to Chicago proved to be somewhat of an "old home week" for Buescher. As he is so quick to tell everyone, he comes from Beardstown, Ill., the state of "real" basketball players. While in Chicago he met several of his old teammates at Beardstown and other opponents from surrounding towns. Some of these players who attend Northwestern think that Otto Graham, the Wildcats star sophomore on the court as well as the gridiron, isn't as good as the papers say. They say that it is only logical that he makes the number of points he does for the great number of shots he takes.
A CLASH OF STYLES
Notes on the Jayhawk basketball trip, via Coach "Phog" Allen—With all kindness, the Big Ten teams say that Big Six quintets are the roughest they play, and in return our conference members say the same thing of the Big Ten. . . . This is mainly a matter of the two conferences playing different styles of ball and the two styles clashing. . . . Iowa U. played a slam-bang brand of ball and when Kansas adopted the same style in the second half, it carried them to victory. . . . T. P. Hunter, the "ultra-dependable," filled the hero role at Iowa, sinking four straight free throws when the chips were down. . . . "He has little to say, but much to do," is the description of Hunter given by Doctor Allen, who still talks in glowing terms of the rebound work T. P. did against Missouri here last year. . . . From Iowa City, the team moved on to Chicago for its game with DePaul.
The basketball banquet there was the biggest K.U. alumni banquet ever held in Chicago, according to Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, who was in attendance. . . . The overflow crowd in the banquet room left no place for the Jayhawk players, who previously had been invited. . . . A large number of alumni attended the game also. . . . Among those in the crowd was Mrs. Glenn Cunningham, whose famous husband was unable to get away from his work for the game. . . . "It was our night and DePaul's off night," was Doctor Allen's comment on the smashing triumph the Jayhawks recorded. . . . "Amazing rebound work was the feature of Kansas' play," said Allen. . . . Ray Evans, sophomore guard, was given a good deal of the credit for the effectiveness of the Jayhawks' rebounding and his all-around play was described as "scintillating". . . . The squad boarded the train in Chicago at 9:30 Sunday morning and got into Wichita at 9:30 that evening. . . . An alumni banquet was held there Monday noon. . . . Guests at the banquet included players of both teams and Ray Graham, new Wichita football coach. . . . Against Wichita U. Miller played "perfect ball" in the words of Doctor Allen. . . . Ralph put on a great show, even better than the one by Howard Engleman at Wichita last year.

By ARTHUR L. PADDOCK
Iowa City, Iowa, Jan. 29— Iowa's first half outfit threw a scare into Phog Allen's Jayhawkers here tonight before some 5,000 bellowing fans and finally succumbed, 53-51.
The Kansans, slow to start, were behind at the half way point 29-25; but a tremendous splurge in the second half, where-in racehorse Ralph Miller dumped in nine points, carried the visitors to victory.
Big Ten Foe Falls to Kansas
Hed the vault At that the Hawkeyes nearly stole the show. Behind six points with eight minutes left, Iowa's offense began to roll again and principally behind firebrand Tommy Chapman who scored 15 markers. The Iowans crawled up to a 51-49, score with two minutes left.
With half a minute left, the same Chapman, a thorn in Phog's hide all night, was hacked by Johnny Buescher, who thereupon left by request and Iowa decided to put the ball in play at the sidelines. But the rangy Kansas defense was too much for Coach Rollie Williams' crew and Iowa died on a long heave by co-captain Vic Siegel that traveled three-fourths of the length of the court and missed the backboard.
If it can be said there were stars of tonight's performance, it can be said there were three—Chapman, Miller, and Umpire Parke Carroll, the baldish Kansas Citian, who brought the crowd to its feet repeatedly with objections to his officiating, which taken all in all was better than average.
Miller sent the Jays rolling in the second half. Coach Allen was as blue as his neat twill suit when his boys trucked back at half time, he was that angry. The visitors weren't using their height to gather rebounds. Aside from Miller, the brightest spot in Phog's cast was T.P. Hunter, a guard. Hunter's four free throws

Press box wags suggested that both teams might have been working out with Messrs. Gwinn Henry and Eddie Anderson, respective grid coaches. For much of the time, at least, three men were on the floor. Contact was exceedingly rough and 38 fouls were called, 19 of them against each team.

In fact, each team lost heavily through the four-person route. Vince Harsha and Milt Kuhl died out for Iowa and Miller and Beuscher, together with Hawkshaw Charles Black, went down that way for Kansas.
Iowa's fast break kept the big boys rolling during the first 20 minutes, but the Kansans' long passes and height tired the home boys. That, in essence, is the story of the battle.
Little "High-on-a-Wendy" Hill, Iowa forward, repeatedly stumped the tight Kansas "Preaching Colonel" defense with his tricky passing. Black was principally the Colonel: The Jays stationed three men across the back strip and one in the front, with the Colonel out there directing the defense and splitting Iowa guards.

More Math Students Needed, Says Chandler
H. E. Chandler, associate professor of education, has recently received more than 20 calls for mathematics teachers. Because of this shortage of mathematics and physical science instructors, Chandler suggests that interested students obtain at least a minor in these fields and prepare to teach them in conjunction with their major courses.
