sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Cutting a few thin slices out of a big sport's pie:
DR. FORREST C. ALLEN is definitely what one might call a "spot" coach—and a right smart one at that What we mean by spot coaching is using the right men at the right moment in a game against a team that is liable to be bothered most by a certain lineup. . . The good doctor is quite adept at these maneuvers. . . A good example may be found in his insertion of sophomore Marvin Sollenberger in the starting lineup in place of a more experienced man in last week's Texas series. . "Phog" knew that the Longhorn defense was based on post plays. . He also knew that Sollenberger was particularly good at guarding post men Hence the insertion, which "Solly" justified by a class of guarding, the lack of which, might well have turned Tuesday night's Jayhawker triumph in to a Jayhawker loss. . So when you see "Phog's" next starting lineup surprise or his constant jockeying with substitutions, begin looking for a cause and result, not an impatient complaint. . . Incidentally, Allen believes that football should do away with the rule prohibiting a substitute to talk to his teammates until after one play has been completed. . . "Basektball did away with this rule a few years ago," Dr. Allen said, "and it has greatly reduced the evil of sideline coaching and other forms of actual cheating."
WHEN THE football fan scans the names on the numerous past season all-star selections in vain for his favorite blocking back or defensive end and finally gives up in disgust with the opinion that there are more unsung heroes than all-stars on the gridiron, he should take a look at the annual all-star lists compiled each year by the Des Moines Register. . . Here is a yearly selection which should please even the most critical of fans. . . The roster is divided into 20 divisions, five for the backs, including best blocking back best plunging back, best running back, best defensive back, and best all-around back. The other positions are divided in much the same manner. . . Also included are best linebacker, best field general, best placekicker, best punter, best safety man, and best forward passer. Here is a unique but effective method of eliminating all-star selecting headaches. . . Nebraska's Huskers dominated this

Allen Drills Cagers Hard For Xmas Trip
A twenty minute scrimmage Friday night and a ten minute session yesterday morning featured the last two varsity practices. Howard Engleman, blond forward, continued to bomb the baskets as he did against Texas. "El Ropo" was especially torrid in yesterday morning's scrimmage.
Starting varsity five in that session consisted of Engleman and Charlie Walker, forwards; Bob Allen, center; John Kline and Bob Johnson, guards.
NOTICE
Buescher Looks Good
Opposing them was a team made up of Vance Hall and Dick Miller, forwards; John Buescher, center; Bill Hogben and Jim Arrfold, guards. Buescher's brilliant ball handling was a feature of this team's play.
Absent from the practice were Marvin Sollenberger, guard, and Norman Sanneman, forward, both of whom started against Texas. The two are students in the school of engineering and have Saturday classes. Sollenberger previously had been excused from practice due to a severe cold, which has been bothering him the last few days.
There will be a special meeting for all prospective members of the varsity swimming squad at five o'clock tomorrow evening in the swimming pool in Robinson Gymnasium. Coach Jim Raport said that it was imperative that all members be there to discuss the 1941 schedule and all other varsity plans.
Whitten was a member of the fraternity while a student in the School of Law.
