Big Six To Discuss 9-Game Limit On Football Bowl Proceeds and Juco Transfers Up for Debate Sunflower Bowl Women's I-M SCHEDULE
W. W. Davis, University representative to the Big Six athletic faculty, questions whether the rule of 15 years' standing which limits conference schools to nine football games a season will be changed tomorrow or Saturday at their annual winter meeting in Kansas City.
This, Dr. Davis thinks, is of more importance than the plan to "share the wealth" which conference teams earn in bowl games. Should the nine-game rule be revoked, it would allow member schools to participate in post-season games without
of the conference fathers.
This question has arisen for the past four years. Oklahoma played in the Orange Bowl in 1939; Missouri played there in 1940; Nebraska went to the Rose Bowl last year; and Missouri's Tigers, Big Six champs this year, are to meet the Fordham Rams in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans New Year's day.
Schools To Share Equally
Closely aligned with the past season game problem—but of lesser importance Dr. Davis believes—is the "share the wealth" policy in relation to Big Six teams participating in bowl games. By this plan any Big Six school playing in a bowl game would share equally with the other five conference schools in money received from a bowl contest.
Such action would serve as an "equalizer" of advantages among member schools, as each one would receive an equal amount of bowl proceeds, instead of having the playing team take all. Hence each school would have a share of the "bowl booty" to sink in athletic equipment and facilities.
Last year Nebraska received nearly $100,000 as reward for playing Stanford in the Rose Bowl. This year Missouri will receive upwards of $70,000 for opposing Fordham in the Sugar Bowl. If this discussed rule would have been in effect the past two years it would have meant an addition of nearly $30,000 to the athletic funds of Oklahoma, Iowa State, Kansas State, and the University of Kansas.
Juco Problem in Kansas
Another item which has received an airing at nearly every meeting in the past few years is junior college transfer ruling. Under the present Big Six rulings no player entering a conference school from a junior college can play in varsity athletics until he has fulfilled conference eligibility requirements by spending one season in residence on the freshman squad.
Professor Davis points out that this puts Big Six schools at a disadvantage when playing schools of the Pacific Coast, the Southwest or Southeast Conferences, or the Missouri Valley, as they don't observe that rule. Rescending this ruling would allow any junior college athlete to participate in varsity sports immediately upon his matriculation at a Big Six school. This would make more men available to varsity coaches at a time when the draft is making the shortage of manpower on athletic teams acutely felt.
This would especially benefit the Kansas schools in the Big Six. The reason for this is the large number of junior colleges throughout the state. The majority of good athletes attend the nearest junior college for two years and then enroll at one of the larger state universities.
Iowa State college recently held a three-day school for electric meter testers and meter repairmen.
Allen Worries About Defense
Defense, defense, and more defense has been occupying the time of the varsity basketball team in their workouts before scrimmaging the past few nights.
Coach Allen isn't too worried at present about the inability of his men to hit the basket consistently for he feels it is too early in the season. However, he is worried about his defense. Last night in practice he was emphasizing to the players that they should help out their teammates and gang up an opponent when he got the ball.
After several defensive formations, Allen sent the cagers through passing maneuvers. "Don't pass and look; look first, then pass," seemed to be the slogan of practice. As the players were running down the court to take the passes, Allen commented, "I don't want speed, I want agility. There's a difference."
In the short 10-minute scrimmage after the fundamental drills, the Whites came through with an 18 to 8 win over the Reds. The second five-minate period proved to be a point-getter as 20 points were scored.
Bob Johnson and Vance Hall scored three baskets for the victors with Miller, Buescher, and Hunter getting one each. Kissell led the scoring for the losers with two goals. Ballard made one tip-in and Black and Evans each sank a free-throw
Fordham's starting backfield against St. Mary's last Sat. was a honey. Included in the foursome were Piecule-wicz, Blumenstock, Andrejco and Filipowicz. Among the linemen who played that day were Ritinski and Witkowski, ends; Yackanich and Maryanski, tackles; Deconcini and Sortori, guards; and Sabasteanski, center.

Sunflower Bowl Teams Prepare For Grid Tilt
The 33 members of the college all-star squad which will tangle with the championship Ft. Riley grid team Saturday in the "Sunflower Bowl" contest began tapering off in practice sessions today.
the coaching staff of the all-stars, Emil Liston of Baker, Fran Welch of Emporia State, and Elmer Holm of Washburn, have rounded their squad into top shape. Max Timmons, Kansas State's rugged blocking back, has been changed from the backfield to the line where he will play running guard. Larry Timmons, Baker's outstanding guard who was named on the Kansas Conference All-Star team, will be at the other guard position.
Duwe Liable to Start
Both Max and Larry thinks his old high school had the best prep team in the state this year. Larry formerly played with the Wyandotte Bulldogs and Max with the Fredonia Yellowjackets. These two high schools had undefeated football records this fall and both claim the state high school championship.
The all-star backfield boasts of men proficient in every angle of play. Paul DuPree, Kansas Wesleyan, who is rated as the hardest running back in the league; Kent Duwe, K. State's hard plunging fullback; "Kaye" Emmot, former star quarterback for Washburn; and Keith Caywood, Emporia State's climax runner and fine pass receiver, are a few of the all-stars who will see action against Ft. Riley.
On the other side of the line, college players of past year will be battling for the Ft. Riley eleven. Jack Ciphers, great Tennessee end in the Southern California-Tennessee Rose Bowl game of 1939; Fred Trosko, former blocking back for all-American Tom Harmon at Michigan; and Bobby Nowell, the South's outstanding player in 1940 from Georgia, will be on the field for the USO benefit contest.
Today and tomorrow the all-star squad will run through light scrimmage plays, stressing a fast powerful offense that should produce one of the best football games of the year.
