PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS 一 TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1942 --up the lead, and went into the final seconds of the game trailing 20 to 21. It's always been rumored about that the best way to start off the week was with a smile. Therefore, this column goes on record as an aid to national defense morale by providing the laugh of the week to you basketball followers of the Big Six. Following the Cornhusker victory over Kansas State Tuesday night Ad Lewandowski, coach of the Nebraska squad, remarked "We had some mighty good moments and some poor ones Tuesday against Kansas State but I think we have the stuff to bring back a conference championship." A DEFERRED DECISION For a one-man team such as Nebraska has this year it seems to be a mighty optimistic statement. Sid Held, all-conference guard, is the bell-cow of the attack and if he isn't ringing the baskets up for N.U., the Cornhuskers might just as well stay out in the pasture. After last night's victory over Missouri it would be interesting to know what Lewandowski predicts for his charges now. He might even have aspects of reaching the N.C.A.A. play-offs in Kansas City. Perhaps it would be best for Cornhusker fans not to get too excited about their coach's statements until after they play Kansas this Saturday. If the Jayhawkers go down in defeat, then this column will jump on the Nebraska band-wagon and even boom Sid Held for All-American. A SCOOP ON RIPLEY Bob Ripley's "Believe It or Not" column generally comes through with most of the scoops in the world of oddities but today this column has a scoop on "Believe It or Not" itself. Recently Ripley called Ashley Elbl, basketball coach at Wyandotte High School, asking him to verify the score of the game between Central High School and the Rainbow Athletic Club of Kansas City, Kan., in 1923. The score was 234 to 2 and was the biggest margin of victory ever recorded in a basketball game. The winner was Central, the present Wyandotte, which went ahead that year to win the national championship at Chicago. The team was undefeated during the season. On that Central team were three players who later performed at Lawrence for the Jayhawkers. They were Harold Zuber, now a prominent doctor in Kansas City, Mo.; Harold Schmidt, present traffic manager for Phillips 66 in Bartlesville; and Herb Proudfit, working at the present time in Kansas City, Kan. During the game in question Schmidt scored 98 points. While attending the University he was a member of Phi Delta Theta and captain of "Phog" Allen's Missouri Valley championship squad of 1927. His first connection with Phillips 66 was when he became coach of their A.A.U. basketball squad of all-Americans, just prior to Chuck Hyatt's present reign as mentor of that aggregation. Ripley plans to run a display column on the game in the near future for syndicate distribution throughout the United States. He will emphasize the margin of victory and also Schmidt's scoring record. GRAHAM MIGHT TAKE SOME STARS Worry and Smiles Dept.: "Phog" Allen needn't worry too seriously about the 10 Wichita High School North athletes who attended the Oklahoma-Kansas State basketball game in Norman Saturday night. It seems that the same source which reported to Allen that the North boys were "heading South" had previously reported 17 Wichita North lads as almost enrollees at Wichita U. The only drawback is that Wichita must hire "Monk" Edwards, present Wichita North football coach, as football coach of the Municipal University before the North boys guarantee their enrollment at W.U. At the present time, however, Ralph Graham, former all Big Six star full back from Kansas State and present backfield coach under Alvin "Bo" McMillin at Indiana University, is the leading candidate for the head coaching job at Wichita to succeed Al Gebert, who was deposed after one bad season following 11 good ones. If Graham does get the job it will mean worry for Gwinn Henry. Graham is one of the better proselytizing coaches, especially when it comes to taking boys from his home state. If Wichita decides to hire him he should prove a big drawing power and further scatter the football talent of Kansas between the 20 colleges of the state, besides leaving a few of the better boys who seem to always "prefer" an out-of-state school to make their continental wanderings. A DOC FIXES IT Odds and ends: Leo Headrick, former forward at Wyandotte and teammate of Ray Evans and Bill Brill on the team which lost to Winfield in the state basketball finals in 1940, is now playing for the Blue Devils of Kansas City, Kan. Junior College. Headrick played as a freshman at Kansas State last year. Bill Hahn, former roommate of Bob Johnson during the latter's freshman year on the Hill, made the all-star team of the Naismith League in Kansas City for the second straight year. Wouldn't he look good in the back court with Evans or Sollenberger on "Phog's" team this year. . . . If Gwinn Henry starts to worry about Ralph Graham grabbing some of the star football players of the state if he gets Wichita's job then he can cross off one more of his worries—the Missouri football game next fall. This is on the authority of Dr. H. P. Hungate of the Naval Reserve office in Kansas City. The latter passed five members of the Tiger football team into the Naval Reserve last week but he placed some stipulations upon them. To Mike Fitzgerald, star Bengal guard, he said, "T'll pass you on just one condition. That is, you let K.U. score at least two touchdowns through your position next fall and furthermore that you promise you won't let your team win by more than two touchdowns." It sounds good now but I wonder if Fitzgerald will remember it next year when the Jayhawkers invade Columbia. Intramural Standings Division I ★★ Won Lost Per.

By BILL PORTER A fighting Sig Ep five, after trailing 7 to 14 at the half, staged a sensational comeback to win 22 to 21 over a surprised Delta Tau Delta team in last evening's feature intramural basketball contest. Delta Tau's sparked by Carl Bomholt, forward, took advantage of superior height to pile up an early lead and succeeded in doubling their opponent's score by the end of the first half. Late in the third quarter, however, the Sig Ep's began to close on the lead, and went into the : Sigma Chi overcame T.K.E. 35 to 21 in the other Monday "A"队 battle. The game was fast but ragged all the way, and scoring was fairly even for the first half. But the Sigma Chis who led 15 to 10 Delt's tried to stall, but the scrappy Sig Ep defense took possession of the ball and finally tossed it to Don Widner who put in a setup for the winning points. Widner chalked up a total of 13 tallies for his team in this fast and cleanly-played game in which only three fouls were called. Newman III failed to get started soon enough in their game last night, and dropped a 23 to 19 count to John Moore Co-op. Standout for the John Moore squad, which played a good defensive game, was Jim Roderick, forward, who tossed in 13 points. John Moore Co-Op Wins Dean Huebert Leads Phi Delts Piling up a 10 to 0 lead in the first four minutes of the game, Phi Delt "B" took a 49 to 11 victory from D. U. "B" in a fast division IV battle. at the midpoint, began to pull away in the third period as Bill Stowits, their scoring ace who had failed to hit the basket in the first half, got hot and put in some sensational shots of the Howard Engleman variety. Dean Huebert, Phi Delt center, hit the first five field goal attempts and piled up a total of 20 points for the entire game, while Frosty Wilson and Clint Kanaga contributed materially to the score. D. U. standout was guard Bill Wintermote, who scored 7 of his team's 11 points in addition to playing a hard game at his defense position. Phi Delt's led 22 to 4 at the half.
