UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1940.
All-Stars In Shape For Cage Opener Tuesday
Familiarity with the court and new backboards will not be a deciding factor Tuesday night when Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's varsity basketeers tangle with the alumni in Hoch auditorium for the varsity will have had only three practices in Hoch by gametime.
In fact, the alumni coming back for the game this year need not have that extra experience for they promise to have more downright ability and basketball "sense" than any former such group ever to appear against Allen's undergraduates. Everyone of the nine returning players can recall at least one all Big Six team of which
he was a member while in school and the majority can lay claim to several such teams during their three collegiate years.
Another factor which will not be so important in this game as in other tilts is the item of being in physical condition for nearly all of the alumni are either preparing for active court campaigns this winter or have been working out in preparation for this game.
Gordon Gray, freshman coach, and Francis Kappleman, assistant coach, have been working out daily since September and should be in as good condition as the varsity. Dick Harp and Milt Allen have been practicing with the varsity at intervals and Paul Rogers has been coming up to freshman practice during the past ten days in an effort to regain some of his polish.
All games scheduled this afternoon in the intramural football playoffs have been called off, according to Director of Intramurals, E. R. Elbel. The Phi Gam-Sig Alph eleven man game for the championship of Division A will be played Monday or Tuesday as will the semi-final games between the Phi Delt "B" and the Sigma Chi "B" teams and the Phi Psi "B" and Newman Club outfits.
Word received from Don Ebling this morning said that he and his brother, Ray, would be on hand for
not had a basketball in his hands since the finals of the A.A.U. championships last March but not to discount too much on that score for he still had plenty of his All-American ability in his system. Don said that he, himself, was getting into condition by doing roadwork every night and going to bed early in order to give the varsity a stiff fight in their first game.
Bruce Voran dropped Coach Allen a note telling him that he was going to "get that left-handed float shot tuned up" with a few practices in the high school gym and word from Ray Noble indicated that he would be in fine shape for the contest to complete the roster of nine men in the alumni line-up.
With such news as this warning
the varsity of the hot battle coming up, "Phog" Allen has been emphasizing defensive and offensive rebounds in practice this week. Position play on defense was stressed in order that the defending team would be located in the three areas to which the ball would rebound from the backboard. The situation was then reversed and Allen pointed out the manner in which the offensive team should recover the rebounds.
Several men have been absent from practice this week as Allen continued to place special importance on the eligibility ruling which requires a C average before participation in any basketball contest. Bill Hogben has not been practicing this week because of the danger of infecting a carbuncle on his left arm.

Kansas and Missouri Provide More Than the Usual Number of Thrills in Yesterday's Game. . . Christman and Ice Exchange Roles. . . Fry's Injury Moves Crowd. . Final Bengal Touchdown Most Important. . . Christman Receives Great Ovation.
Yesterday's forty-ninth renewal of the Jayhawk-Tiger feud which saw Missouri outscore Kansas 45 to 20, had many a thrilling play, many a dramatic moment.
After "Pitching Paul" Christman had discarded his customary passing role to direct the Bengals to a first quarter touchdown via the ground, his understudy Harry "Slippery" Ice, fleet Kansas City sophomore, whose elusiveness in the open field has stamped him a star, entered the game and promptly engineered a second Tiger touchdown, this time through the air.
In the third quarter when Jake Fry, plucky little Kansas halfback, received a slight concussion after being hit by a host of Missouri tacklers, the fans chewed their finger nails and waited nervously while trainers attempted to revive him. As the streeter was brought out and team handlers carried the unconscious Fry from the field, the entire Tiger team ran over to help escort him to the sidelines.
Their final touchdown probably gave the Tigers more satisfaction than the six they had scored earlier in the game. Christman passed to Jimmy Starmer, who, with no one between him and the goal line, stepped out of bounds just short of the final chalk mark. The Tigers were determined that Myron Counsil, senior fullback, who had been out of action most of the year because of injuries, should have his touchdown in the final game of the season. Counsil got it too, although the Tiger fullback needed two downs to travel that single yard.
Of course the game's most dramatic moment came late in the fourth quarter when Christma, (continued to page five)
