Meet Nation Sights and Games Are Cager's Xmas
Twelve days of sightseeing, woven around three games with teams of national rank, is the Christmas present thirteen Jayhawk basketball players are getting this year.
First eastern trip a Kansas team has made in years, it will be the first time a Jayhawk quintet has ever played in Madison
sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Even though the awesome Huskers will carry the first tune-in bid the Kezar stadium game certainly will demand more than passive interest from the conference follower. No less than four Big Six representatives, two of which are almost certain to start for the West, will get a chance to show their brawny wares during he afternoon. A secondary fact is that the contest will bring together two of the mightiest elevens ever assembled for this yearly feud.
Aside from listening to, on actually seeing Nebraska's scarlet football machine in action against Stanford in the Rose Bowl next New Year's day, the Big Six grid fan can have, if he chooses, another attractive radio date with the annual East-West game, which will take place on the same day in San Francisco.
Starting Big Sixers should be Oklahoma's huge Harold "Toad" Lahar, a baby-faced murderer, who is listed at 214 pounds, but probably is much nearer 225, and Missouri's re d o u b t a b l e Paul Christman. Lahar is one of the best crop of Sooner mastadons, known as linenmen. Christman's reputation is already Mid-Western legend.
To give an idea of the might of the Western line, which is rated slightly better than the East forward wall, we can say that Lahar will represent only the average in physical bulk. Teaming with Tom Stidham's product at guard will be big Ben Sohn, the 235-pound U.S.C. collossus. Sears of Oregon State, called by many the best tackle on the coast, probably will pair with Oregon's Stuart. McDowell of Washington and Hickey of Arkansas are slated for opening end duty with huge-handed Rudy Mucha of Washington completing the lineup at center. This front wall phalanx will average 210.
Lahar's teammate, hard-blocking Bill Jennings, at end, and Kansas State's erratic, but good tackle, Bernie Weiner, are the remaining two conference sons.
With Christman in the first string backfield should be Oregon State's Kisselburgh, Washington's McAdams, and Southern Cal's Bobby Peoples.
Countering a dubious West line advantage will be a definite East backfield dom inance. Listed (continued to page five)
Square Garden.
Included on the itinerary are such spots held in high favor by tourists as Niagara Falls, West Point and Washington. D.C. The three games take the players into the metropolises as New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago.
Thirteen To Go
The thirteen players selected to make the trip are Howard Engleman, senior forward; Bob Allen, senior center; John Kline, senior guard; Bill Hogben, senior forward; Bob Johnson, junior guard; T. P. Hunter, junior guard; Marvin Sollenberger, sophomore guard; Vance Hall, sophomore forward; Charles Walker, sophomore forward; Norman Sanneman, senior forward; James Arnold, junior guard; John Buescher, sophomore center; and Dick Miller, sophomore forward.
The players will leave Lawrence on the Santa Fe Streamliner at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon, arriving in Chicago at 9:30, where they will stay overnight at the Allerton Hotel.
Tuesday morning the Jayhawkers go to Ann Arbor, Mich., arriving there at 2:23 that afternoon. The team will work out in the Michigan field house and stay at the Michigan Union.
From Ann Arbor the trip takes the squad to Niagara Falls on Christmas Day. They will be there from 1:25 Wednesday afternoon until 8:30. Leaving Niagara Falls the players go to Buffalo and then on to West Point.
Workout At West Point
At the United States Military Academy in West Point, Dr. F. C. Allen's men will have a workout in the Academy field house Thursday. Trainer at the Academy is Roland Logan, former Kansas football star.
New York's concrete canyons will loom up before the Kansas cagers that day. They will just have time to leave their luggage at the Hotel Piccadilly and take cabs to Madison Square Garden, where they will work out between halves of the Illinois-N.Y.U. game.

Huskers To Phoenix Thursday
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 18- (UF)—Nebraska's Cornhuskers would to hold today what they hoped would be their last practice session in freezing weather and ankle-deep snow.
Thursday Coach L. M. (Biff) Jones' Big Six football champions leave for Phoenix, Ariz., to scrimmage in the sunshine preparatory to meeting Stanford in the Rose Bowl New Year's day.
Yesterday, the Cornhuskers donned heavy warmup shoes and soft-soled shoes to try their luck in 15-above zero weather against Stanford's famous T-formation play as staged by the Nebraska reserves.
Line Coach Link Lyman who learned about the T-formation while playing with the Chicago Bears, instructed the Cornhuskers in defense tactics against the play that Nebraska expects Stanford to use.
Hargiss Hints Track Shifts; Pollom Reports
With nearly two weeks of intensive training on the indoor track under the stadium completed, Coach Bill Hargiss is contemplating shifting some of his numerous quarter milers to the half and mile events.
He figures that to run Bill Reid, Fred Eberhardt, Kenny Hamilton, lettermen, and Orlando Epp in the quarter for the indoor season is a waste of talent. Each are 50-second men in the quarter, but with only Don Thompson returning to run the half, Reid and Eberhardt may be converted to that distance also. Pollom Checks Out
Don Pollom began training this week, strengthening the sprinting and hurdling corps. With Ted Scott and Darrell Mathes, who is scheduled to return next semester, Coach Hargiss will have a strong dash trio for dual meets.
Bob Stoland; Big Six champ in the high and broad jumps has not reported yet. As soon as he finishes his CAA work he will begin conditioning work in defense of his titles. Stoland can be counted on to deliver 8 or 10 points in any meet because of his versatility. He is also a hurdling prospect.
A search for shot putters is being made. Ralph Schaake, Jim Holloway, W.F.Jack, and other football behemoths may develop into capable throwers.
Hargiss Is Optimistic
Although not predicting a championship team, Hargiss believes that his Jayhawk tracksters will make a considerably better showing than in last year's indoor meet when they finished last. He believes Kansas will place among the first three in the Big Six meet.
Kansas' first meet of the season will be at the Kansas City A.A.U. indoor extravaganza Feb. 8. Dual and triangular meets are being arranged with other conference schools.
Henry Rohn, was at fullback in place of the regular starter at that position, Vike Francis who is attempting to overcome scholastic difficulties so he can make the trip.
