Jayhawks Run Rampant To Gain Second Victory
In their last game before the Christmas holidays, the Jayhawkers trounced a Bethel College squad, 61 to 28, at Newton Dec. 19 in a game which dedicated the new Bethel auditorium.
After eking out a one-point victory over the Denver University Pioneers, the Kansans changed scoring tactics the next night and made the contest a rout.
Sophomore Jack Ballard led the scoring parade by dunking 1x field goals through the hoop and adding one free throw for 13 points. John Buescher and Vance Hall were not far behind
as they registered 11 and 10 points respectively.
Only 6 Points Against Varsity
The Gray Maroons were held scoreless from the field for the first eight minutes of the game, the Jayhawks leading 10 to 2 at that point. The starting line-up left the game after ten minutes with the score 18 to 6 in their favor. Four of Bethel's six points were by free throws.
Charlie Black and Ballard each made three goals in the next minutes to help increase the Kansas lead to 33-16 at halftime.
The starting line-up of Hall, Buescher, Ralph Miller, Marvin Sollenberger, and Ray Evans started again at the second half and scored 14 points while holding Bethel scoreless for the first six and one-half minutes.
Black Scores For Bethel
At this point Coach "Phog" Allen sent these five players to the showers and played the remaining 13 players on the squad.
Oddity of the game occurred immediately after the first team left the game. The officials lined the two centers up in the wrong direction. Kansas got the tip and Black dribbled in for a Bethel goal before anyone could stop him, although Bethel
players did try to block the shot. After scoring this basket for the Newton team, the referees let the Grey Maroons take the ball in under their own basket and this resulted in another Bethel goal.
Despite these four gift points Coach "Ots" Unruh's crew was too small and inexperienced to cope with the rang Jayhawkers who pulled away from their opponents on the basis of their many tip-ins and their ability to control the rebounds.
"B" Team Wins Easy Too
In the first game of the evening the Jayhawker "B" squad romped to an easy 33 to 10 victory over a poor Bethel "B" outfit.
Kansas was leading 15 to 0 with 30 seconds to play in the first half when Ralph Kroeker scored a field goal for Bethel's only point of the half.

Phog Allen gets into these impromptu debates in the most unique places. The last time the Jayhawk cage maestro engaged in forensics with a rival coach was at the national rules meeting two years ago when he and Nat Holman of New York's City College discussed, heatedly, the virtues of basketball as played in the East and in the West. That came out of a clear sky, just as this morning's platform duel.
Bruce further stated that when Tucker decided at mid-semester he did not wish to continue his work at Kansas State, Gardner tried to get the Winfield star to go to the University of Southern California. (Jack is a U.S.C. grad and also his Aggies wouldn't have to face Gerald, if he were on the coast.'

After Drake's plea for Americanism in the Tucker affair, the University band's finale to the convocation was quite fitting. They played "I Am an American."

SPORTIN' AROUND---
INSIDE DOPE REVEALED BY COACH
He claimed that Kansas State "held" Tucker in Manhattan against his will" and that Jack Gardner, the Wildcat coach, sent a letter to Titantic Tuck's brother, Lloyd, at Bartlesville, saying "Everything is alright" and signing Gerald's name to it.
Drake didn't present any arguments supporting his belief that Gerald was "the victim of an incident wholly un-American." He didn't refer to the section in the Big Six rules that says an athlete must be in residence two semesters before he is eligible for varsity competition. However, he did come back with some inside stuff on the Tucker affair that hadn't been in the public prints.
The question of what to do about Big Six conference sports during the war emergency is due for an airing when conference faculty representatives and athletic directors meet sometime this month, probably in Kansas City.
War May Change Athletic Set-up
Plans are already in progress in conference administrative circles, which indicated that definite action may be taken at the meeting.
Three sources will have possible cues for Big Six action: Dr. H. H. King, Kansas State College, chairman of the conference faculty committee, will report on the recent meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic association in Detroit; a suggestion may arise from the meeting of the American college and university presidents in Baltimore, Md.; and, then too, the government may offer its own suggestions in regard to collegiate sports.
The proposition of making freshmen eligible for variety competition is sure to arise, officials think. This would provide the schools concerned with a wider source of material, since the older youths will be subject to draft call.
Also likely to be considered is the question of minor sports. Many schools in the conference are expected to reduce spring schedules.
Science Bulletin Prints University Research Results
A new edition of "The University of Kansas Science Bulletin" was released during the holidays. This publication contains the printed results of research by members of the University, faculty and students.
Articles were contributed by Homer B. Latimer, professor of anatomy; C. Wolfson, instructor of anatomy; L. L. Boughton, associate professor of pharmacy; O. O. Stoland, professor of physiology; E. H. Taylor, professor of zoology; Kathleen C. Doering, associate professor of entomology; Henry P. Wager; Claude W. Hibbard; Eugene E. Kenaga; and Allen Graffham.
Jim Bell, was managing editor of the Kansan in 1940, has been named to the staff of Time magazine. For the past two years Bell has been a reporter on the Topeka Daily Cap-reporter on the Topeka Capital.
(continued from page four) both senior lettermen, will be ready for action.
This bulletin is sent to all college and university libraries in North America. Copies, in peace time, are sent to all the school libraries of the world, but issues published during this war period will be held over until the end of hostilities.
Bob Johnson, fully recovered from his sprained ankle, has been showing good form at the quarterback slot and may replace Buescher if the latter tires early.
The leading score for the Jay-
hawkers this year has not been able to crash the starting line-up yet. He is Jack Ballard, six-foot-six-inch forward. He has scored 19 points in two games and his height is extremely valuable in close to the basket on tip-ins and rebounds.
Another forward who will see plenty of action is Vance Hall, junior hot-shot from Downs. Hall is one of the best shots on the team but is handicapped by a lack of height.
JAYHAWKS SEEK---
Hill Sportsters
★★★
Take to Ice
From here on out, Hill living is on ice.
During Christmas vacation a part of the intramural field was flooded for skating and a few of the hangers-on around Mt. Oread tried it out. Now a second flooding has provided a second coating of ice, and this afternoon a crowd of potential Sonja Heines and hookey stars were demonstrating what a Jayhawk can do out in the cold world.
Floodlights and logs for bonfires will add to the comfort of the skaters. The rink is being sponsored by the department of physical education to encourage winter recreation.
If you care to ski, you are also in luck. A run will be fixed on the north slope of the Hill.
Potter lake has been carrying an extra load the past few days. About a hundred students have been spending leisure hours alternating between warming at the bonfire and skating on the traditional pond. The come-on-ice-I'mready crowd is prepared for the new rink.
Volleyball Season in Full Swing
So get out the skates or the barrel stave skis. Tomorrow is another day on ice.
Men's intramural volleyball first games will be played this afternoon at 5:10 when Newman and Phi Game meet in a Division I battle while Division II teams Delta Chi and Sig Ep tangle on the other court.
Seventeen organizations have entered teams in the current series, and the delegations have been placed in two groups.
Division I includes the Faculty. Phi Delt, Newman, Phi Gam, Alpha Chi Sigma, Sigma Chi, Delta Upsilon, and Pfuigerville. Second division teams are Delta Chi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Nu, Phi Psi, Triangle, S.A.E., Kappa Sig, Delta Tau Delta, and Beta.
In tomorrow's only volleyball game, the Faculty team will meet Phi Delt at 4:30.

Track Men Work Out With Added Incentive
Track practice for both varsity and freshmen begins this week in preparation for the squad's indoor season which opens here against Kansas State Feb. 14, Coach W. H. "Bill" Hargiss announced today.
While most of the varsity men and some fresh have been taking light work-outs before Christmas, this marks Hargiss' first actual call for the freshman track candidates to report.
Coach Hargiss said that he was particularly interested in having a large freshman squad this year as there is a possibility that, in view of the war and draft situation, the Big Six faculty representatives may revoke the conference freshman ruling so that yearlings of the member schools could enter active competition in the conference track meets this year.
After a week of limbering-up and conditioning exercises on the University's indoor track under the east wing of the stadium, Coach Hargiss plans to start putting his track men through their individual events.
Romance Language Teachers Attend Two Conventions
Four members of the teaching staff of the department of romance languages, Dr. W. H. Shoemaker, Dr. L. L. Barrett, Miss May Gardner, and Robert E. Pyle, returned Sunday after attending sessions of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish in St. Louis, and the annual convention of the Modern Language Association of America in Indianapolis.
Doctor Shoemaker served as chairman of the nominating committee at St. Louis and was reappointed to the same post for another year. At Indianapolis, Miss Gardner presented a paper, "The Sentimento Del Paisaje in Gabriel Miro."
