PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1940 sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE Cutting a few thin slices out of a big sport's pie: JAY SIMON, one of the best of Kansan sports writers in recent years, writes from the Coffeyville Journal that his local Jucos, who walked off with the state championship this year were every bit as hot as reported. Jay says the southerners had two backs who would look pretty fair on any Big Six club. . What are their names Jay, and are they still eligible for college competition? DID YOU know that three of last year's Jayhawk basketballers have signed with three different clubs in Kansas City's fast Naismith League? . . They include Don Ebling, forward, with Phillips 66; Dick Harp, guard with College of Commerce, and Jack Sands, forward and center with Faultless Launry. . . Other K.U. grads who are beginning another year in the loop are Al Welhausen, George Golay, and Ray Noble. . . The senior Ebling, Ray, who was an All-American forward here in 1936, called it quits this year after serving four seasons with the Phillips club of the A.A.U. league. . . And by the way the Oilers must have another powerhouse this year with Fred Pralle only a sub. . . Of course the Phillips guards, Grady Lewis, giant rebound man, and Bill Martin, formerly of Oklahoma, could keep a lot of good men on the bench. The Oilers are defending A.A.U. champions. DISCOURAGED or disgruntled freshman athletes can get a lifter by taking a peek at the little-known uphill fight of Quido Massare, varsity football guard, who ended a splendid if not spectacular football career two weeks ago against Colorado Aggies. . . Massare, one of a large family in East Monongehela, Pa., had to spend three years of hard labor in the Monongehela steel mills upon graduation from high school before he could come to college at all. He arrived in the fall of '37 along with some 50-odd other boys, who comprised "the greatest freshman squad in ten years". . All Massare has done is to play three years regular on the varsity, carry at least 17 hours in the engineering school every semester, take an active part in K-club activities, work for virtually all of his expenses, and ask no favors of anyone. . . He has never given the coaching staff one minutes worry of any kind. He is a hard worker. He is serious about school and football. He is a steadfast friend. He is a gentleman. He is an example of what can be done. Freshmen, let's do it. WHEN THE Jayhawks close their two-game series with Texas tonight they will not show again before the local crowd until Jan. 13 when they entertain Louie Menze's Iowa State Cyclones. After an engagement three nights later against Missouri's hated Tigers, they will not appear at home again until Feb. 10. . During Xmas vacation the Allenmen will travel East to meet Fordham Rams in Madison Square, Dec. 28; Temple in Philly, Dec. 30, and Loyola in Chicago, Jan. 2. .

In the other games played, Theta Tau defeated Acacia, 18 to 13; Dunakin 1 downed the Dodgers, 21 to 16; and Carruth hall won from Alpha Chi Sigma, 17-12. Brunton. Kappa Eta Kappa for-¢ Brunton, Kappa Ela Kappa forward, gathered high point honors of the Sig Ep-K.E.K. game with 13 points. Cooper sank five goals and two charity tosses to pace the victors. The Theta Tau-Acacia fray was marked by roughness, although intentional fouling was not evident. Outstanding player of the contest was Domingo, who was a high scorer for the Comets last year. Domingo, in addition to ringing up half of his team's tallies, handled the ball well and failed to commit a foul. Livengood was best for the Acacias. Cunningham and Hecht led the Dunakin 1 five to its first win of the year in defeating the Dodgers. Despite the opposition furnished by Graham, Dodger forward, the Dunakins had the game under control from the start. Carruth Hall opened it's season with a win, 17-12, over Alpha Chi Sigma, with Aubyn in the starring role on defense as well as offense. Bryan stood out for the A.C.S. outfit. Oregan Whips O.U.; Cyclones Win Oklahoma and Iowa State opened their basketball season last night along with Kansas. The Sooners, rated by "Phog" Allen to cop the Big Six crown, lost to a strong Oregon team, 42-29, at Norman. Iowa State defeated Minnesota at Minneapolis, 37-36. The Sooners led 16 to 8 with 10 minutes to be played in the last half. Oregon opened up its offensive to score ten field goals and win going away. Coach Bruce Drake's "Tall Oaks" were stymied by Oregon's Hank Anderson who outjumped his giants consistently. Guard Carol Schneider was the hero of the Iowa State victory. He tipped in the rebound on Forward Al Budolfson's missed free throw with less than two minutes to go. Nicholas and Schneider led the Cyclone attack with 10 and 7 points. The high flying eagles, who will meet Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's day, were named by every one of the 65 eastern football writers and radio commentators who participated in the poll. Boston College Is Eastern Champ For Discussion New York, Dec. 7.-(UP)—Boston college has been awarded the Lambert Memorial trophy, symbolic of the eastern football championship, it was announced today. Starts In High--evening's scoring honors, the Jayhawkers swept from behind in last night's schedule opener to dump the invaders, 35-27. JOHN KLINE Hard-fighting Johnny Kline, senior guard, whose rebounding and sparkling defensive play was a high spot in the Jayhawkers victory over Texas last night. They Do Scoring--evening's scoring honors, the Jayhawkers swept from behind in last night's schedule opener to dump the invaders, 35-27. JAYHAWKS SEEK--evening's scoring honors, the Jayhawkers swept from behind in last night's schedule opener to dump the invaders, 35-27. H. ENGLEMAN BOB ALLEN Bobby Allen and Howard Engleman, two other seniors, who accounted for 31 of the Jayhawkers 35 points against Texas. continued from page four) The curly haired Arkansas Citian, got able help from senior quarterback Bobby Allen, who rang the bell for.13 points besides displaying his usual fine floor game. John Kline, another senior, turned in his best performance in many a moon with brilliant post-guarding and rebounding job. Hawk-faced Thurman Hull, stellar Steer guard. opened the game with a quick setup, but the lead faded as Engleman and Allen bagged three field goals ad a pair of free throws for an 8 to 4 margin midway in the opening stanza. Texas Pulls Ahead From then until the end of the first half, however, it was all Texas. Long legged Denten Cooley chipped in a free throw on Sollenbreger's infraction and Udell Moore added a pair to tie the count. The baffling-passing Texans then closed with four goals by Hull, Granville, and Cooley to walk off with a 16-12 margin at half-time. The Jayhawkers almost let things get out of control before going to work the second half. Hull dribbled in for a close righthander and Cooley canned a one-handed pivot shot for a 20-12 Longhorn lead immediately after intermission. Then the Kansans started. Engleman, Allen Score The hard-fighting Allen slipped in a short one, and Kline broke around the Steer defense for a neat layup a moment later. Engleman brought the Kansans even with a clever underhander and a setup. The last five minutes were filled with roaring action. The tall Steers moved in close, trying to crash through the Jayhawker's defense to use their height advantage, but the best they could do was a lone bucket by Houpt, and three charity tosses, while Engleman and Allen broke loose for two more goals apiece and Norman Sanneman added one.

Between 100 and 200 persons will be expected in 1942, representing seven states. The University will play host to the joint district meeting of the American Alumni council and the American College Publication Association in January, 1942. This was announced by K. W. Davidson and Fred Ellsworth, following their return from Columbia, Mo., where this year's meeting took place. Raymond W. Derr, who will be a graduate student at the University next year, was elected as director of the publication association. The Notre Dame-U.S.C. football series is the closest of any major intersectional classic. The Ramblers have won 8; the Trojans 6. The 1936 game was a tie.
