UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9,1942
With the "emergency" situation existing at the present time, athletes are in a precarious position. How uncertain the future may be is entirely problematical. It is a fact, however, that the caliber of the various sports will suffer. Whether this will reflect in a lack of interest shown by fans is doubtful. The American people are sports conscious to begin with and during trouble-some times they will be more than ready to relax by attending sporting attractions.
NAVAL RESERVE GETS THE MOST
Fans in the Valley are already noticing the number of athletes who are joining various branches of the service and also engaging in defense work. Latest recruits of this nature are Mike Fitzgerald, Jack Lister, Don Reece, Irvin Pitts, and Harold Adams, all members of Missouri's Sugar bowl football team, who joined the Naval Reserve in Kansas City Wednesday.
This means that all but the latter will return to Missouri's football team next fall to plague the Jayhawkers once again. Two former Missouri athletes, Martin Nash and Herbie Gregg, former basketball stars, were also in attendance at the examination Wednesday. Nash failed to pass the physical because of a bad right arm. Gregg, however, passed the examination and will be called in June.
Roy Edwards, Jayhawker head cheerleader this year, also passed the exam at the same time as the Tiger players. Edwards said that Gregg plans to return to Missouri to complete his eligibility this coming semester. Gregg thought that Kansas and Iowa State had the best teams this year. He also was of the opinion that Al Budolfson, all conference forward on Iowa State's quintet this year, was the best player in the conference last year.
DOC SIEBERT IN ALASKA
Other late additions to Uncle Sam's war efforts are Raymond "Squeak" Meyer, all Kansas Conference center from McPherson and member of the Kansas All-Star team which opposed Ft. Riley this fall, and Harold Koehn, former all state Class B basketball star from Buhler and member of the Pittsburg Teachers squad, who joined the Navy in Wichita during the Christmas holidays.
Art Poindexter, former K-man in swimming three years ago, was one of the defenders of Wake Island during the seige of that stronghold by Japan. Tom Guy, member of Kansas State's basketball squad last year and counted upon strongly by Jack Gardner to bolster his court team with age and height this year, is stationed at the Naval Reserve Aviation Base at Corpus Christi, Texas.
Another name familiar to Hill fans is that of Dr. Norman C. Siebert. He was football physician in 1940 and also a member of the Watkins Memorial hospital staff. Siebert is now stationed at the Aleutian Islands, off the coast of Alaska.
IT STARTED WITH THE INDIANS
The late Dr. James Naismith, former member of the physical education department at the University, is generally given credit for originating the game of basketball but now a man comes along and disputes that supposition.

Black Is Kansan Of Long Standing
He's listed as a graduate of Southwest High School, Kansas City, Mo., but Charlie Black, sophomore star, is proud to be a Sunflower state product of long standing.
The year that Charlie was a senior in high school and graduated from Southwest was the only year he lived in the state of Missouri.
For 10 years prior to that, the Black family had lived in Topeka and Charlie had his first two years of high school competition at Highland Park high school in Topeka
He starred in football, basketball and track at Highland Park and went on to bigger achievements in his senior year at Southwest.
The result was an offer to take his advanced schooling at the University of Wisconsin and Black decided to see what a Big Ten school was like.
While he was spending a year at Wisconsin, Charlie's family moved from Kansas City to Lawrence. When he returned from the Big Ten school at the end of his freshman year, having decided to continue his schooling elsewhere, the University came as a logical choice for Black. Last year, he was a standout on the Jayhawk's freshman team.

K.U. Cagers Play 105th Against M.U.
Another chapter in one of the nations' oldest basketball rivalries will be written Wednesday at Columbia when the Kansas Jayhawks and the Missouri Tigers clash on the court for the one hundred fifth time.
Back in 1907 the two schools met on the court for the first time. Since then their meetings have been frequent and the records show that Kansas has triumphed 65 times with Missouri the winner on 39 occasions.
Kansas Favored
Victorious in both of their games with the Tigers last year, the Jayhawks are favored to down Missouri again Wednesday. Kansas has played only three games to date this winter and has won them all.
A convincing 54-32 victory over Oklahoma started the Jayhawks on their drive toward another Big Six championship. Eight times in the last eleven seasons, Dr. F. C. Allen's cagers have won or tied for the conference title.
Missouri's tall men, Roy Storm, 6-foot 5-1 inch junior, and Ross Burns, 6-foot 6-inch sophomore, will have their work cut out for them in endeavoring to Charlie Black, Kansas' brilliant 6-foot 4-inch forward.
Black, a 190-pound sophomore proved too much for the Oklahoma defense, stuffing in 10 field goals and five free throws for 25 points. He also had been high point man against Denver.
Scores Off Pivot
A good pivot shot man, Black is a terror for the defense to attempt to cover. His pivot when he fakes a shot covers so much territory that it pulls his guard completely out of position. If the guard does not follow him when he starts his fake, he carries it through for a shot. The big boy's rebound work was a feature of the Oklahoma game.
John "thin man" Buescher, center, and Ralph Miller, senior forward, carry most of the remainder of the burden on offense. Buescher came through for 10 points against Oklahoma, while Miller was chalking up 11.
Reserve strength at K.U. is plentiful this season, and standing out in the Oklahoma game among the reserves were Charlie Walker, letterman guard, and Jack Ballard, 6-foot 6-inch sophomore.

Pi K.A.'s undefeated five will meet Beta Theta Pi in tonight's feature intramural basketball game to be played at 6 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
So far this season, the Pi K.A.'s have swamped their opponents in three successive games, and have succeeded in piling up a total of 160 points compared to their opponents' 40 to 6. The
The Beta's have also played three games already, and have lost to Newman I and Sig Alph. But both were hard-fought contests, and the veteran Beta delegation can be depended upon to put up a scrap. Officials for this second division game will be "Buck" Thomas and "Curly" Hayden. Mills Leads Battenfeld
In yesterday's only "A" team intramural game, Rock Chalk defeated Battenfeld 25 to 16. Outplayed in the first half, Battenfeld, led by Jim Mills, started a rally in the third period, but couldn't even up the score.
Mills put in ten points for Battenfeld, and John Reber was high for Rock Chalk with nine.
The Phi Gam "C" boys looked like the Fiji "A" team for a night in taking a 46 to 9 victory from A.T.O. "C". Although the game looked like a slow and low-scoring event at first, the Fijii's got hot in the second quarter to make the half-time count read 19
John Reynolds and Bob Hodgeson sank 14 and 10 points respectively for the Fiji's, and were also responsible, along with their teammates, for keeping the ball out of A.T.O. hands. Both squads cooperated in making this an exceptionally clean contest. Only 13 fouls were called .
Phi Delt "B" also chalked up an impressive margin over Battenfeld "B" after a closely-fought first half in which scoring was neck and neck.
In the second half, Don Wysong and "Junior" Kanaga led a Phi Delt of defensive drive that brought the final score to 37 to 14. Kanaga was high scorer with 16 points.
Sigma Chi "C" won a forfeit from Phi Delt "C" in the only scheduled sixth division contest.
Reynolds Scores 14
