Indoor Track Opener Tomorrow
Simonizing SportS By JAY SIMON
Pursuing my policy of giving due prominence to sports news of national scope and prime import I am putting tonight's Louis-Godoy heavyweight championship fight in this column.
The "why" of this Marquis of Queensberry frolic seems to bother most fistfiascos. They ask, "Why is Louis risking his title against an unknown?" The answer is, "He ain't." All Louis risks is his sense of fair play and his respect for the New York boxing commission's rules. They don't hold where the South American is concerned. Godoy fights "The South American Way" wherein boxing is war and all is fair.
Whether or not the optimistic mestizo has earned the dubious privilege of literally facing Louis's left is largely a matter o fa definition of the word "boxing." If boxing includes gouging, cuffing, backhanding, butting, and permits the free use of elbows on offensive weapons, then Arturo rates as number one lamb-for-the-slaughter. He has twice vanquished Tony Galento, and the Beer Barrel Poker was recognized as North America's master of mayhem.
Oh yes, Godoy is the South American heavyweight boxing champion, a distinction somewhat comparable to the heavyweight wrestling title of the United States.
While it will probably have little weight with Mr. Jacobs, it is my opinion that the Indian should have had to get past Rudy Vallee, the unofficial washroom brawl king, before receiving a shot at the dark victor.
Unless home cooking has made Louis a mere tint of his former self, the bad boy tactics of Godoy will not phase him. The unruly Primo Carrera found young, black Joe cared of absorbing and creating ring chaos.
Injury Slows Down Huskers' Bob Kahler
Lincoln, Feb. 9—Bob Kahler, Nebraska football star who was counted upon to gather points in the high jump and hurdle events at the dual meet with Kansas Saturday night, is suffering from a pulled muscle and will probably be unable to compete in more than one event against the Jayhawkers.
Sophomore Warren Radtke is improving rapidly and turned in a 52.7 quarter mile in a practice test early in the week. This indicates the Council Bluffs boys may pick up points for the Huskers this year.
Featured races of the evening should be between the Huskers' Harold Brooks and the Jayhawkers' Ray Harris in the distances.
Ed Wibbelts, shot putter, slipped on the ice while skating recently and is suffering from a sprained wrist, although he is doing 44 feet in the shot despite the handicap.
Kansas Runners Go To Lincoln For Night Duel
Kansas and Nebraska pry the lid off their indoor track campaigns to tomorrow with a night meet at Lincoln under the Husker stadium.
The novel dual meet will serve as an opener for the indoor track season, and in spite of the fact that Nebraska is a topheavy favorite to win, the Jayhawks should capture their share of first places. Coach Bill Hargis is counting on his co-captains, Ray Harris and Bob Stoland, for a pair of wins apiece.
Harris, who has been running well this winter, won the two-mile run at the Big Six outdoor meet last spring and finished second in the mile run, and he should win these events.
Stoland, Big Six champion in the high jump and broad jump, is expected to win both events without much trouble. He has a leap of 6 feet 5 inches in the high jump and one of 23 feet 10 inches in the broad jump.
Sophomores are expected to carry the load in many events and their
No Trip for Swimmers Due To Lack of Funds
By Jay Simon (Kansan Sports Editor)
The athletic department's pressing need for financial aid was emphasized yesterday when the swimming team was told that it could not make the trip to Norman, Okla., for its scheduled meet with the Sooners tomorrow.
E. L. Falkenstein, financial secretary of intercollegiate athletics, said there were no funds available to meet the expenses the team would incur on the trip. He said it would take about $150 to send the swimmers to Oklahoma.
It has been the practice in the Big Six for the visiting minor sports teams to pay their own expenses and schedule home and home meets.
Early in January the athletic department asked the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Governing Association for $1,850 in order that the minor sports program would not have to be curtailed. However, both groups postponed action on the matter. The money was in a reserve fund the councils had set aside for emergency use.
ability under fire is yet to be determined. Don Thompson and Dick Edwards, a pair of promising sophomores, will run the mile and the 880 tomorrow. Other sophs of promise are J. R. Jones in the broad jump,
Following an All-American No Easy Task for Ebling
Ted Scott in the 60 yard dash, Kenney Hamilton in the 440 and Jack O'Hara in the pole vault.
Jones was a fine broad jumper in high school and may reach 24 feet before the season is over.
Following in the footsteps of an All-American brother is a tough assignment, but Don Ebling, Kansas forward, has done a swell job of it.
Don's brother, Ray, was one of the greatest Jayhawk basketball players of all time. For three years Ray led the Big Six in scoring and each year he won All-American honors.
Consequently, when Don enrolled at the University the fall after Ray graduated, he had a brilliant example to live up to. Although he was four inches shorter than his brother and some fifteen pounds lighter, Don was expected to be just as good by the fans.
A tireless worker, Don practices like a demon and races all over the floor. Although he is the smallest man on the Kansas team, Ebling makes himself a star on defense by his harassing tactics and his persistent guarding, Perfect Timing on Rebounds
Not a High Scorer
Now in his third year as a regular on the Jayhawk varsity five, Don has never been the scorer that his brother was, but what a coach's player he has turned out to be.
No one ever worked harder in practice or put more out in a game than Don Ebling. The speedy little forward plays his heart out every minute he is in the game and he is just as big a favorite with his fellow players as he is with Coach F. C. Allen.
The ' foot 11 inch Ebling is a rebounder that Dr. Allen probably would be willing to put up against any man of his size in the country. Biggest treat of home games for the fans is the sight of some giant on the opposing team taking the ball off the
backboard and then having it snatched from his hands by the diminutive Ebling as the big boy comes down back to the floor. Don's timing on rebounds is perfect.
Although he cannot compare with his brother as a one-hand shooter,
Don't best scoring night this winter came in the first game with Southern Methodist when he paused the Jayhawks to a one-sided victory by scoring seven field goals and a free throw for 15 points.
- DON EBLING - FORWARD
A.K. Psi Cage Team Downs G.C. Jr. College
Don is a considerably better two-hand shot than Ray was. Young Ebling can shoot with the best of them on set shots when he is going good.
Alpha Kappa Psi,leading team in Division III in intramural basketball scored an impressive triumph over the Kansas City, Kan., Junior College five last night by winning by a margin of 58 to 50.
Harold Johnson, high pointmaker of intramural, gathered 19 points in his team's victory. Two of Johnson's teammates, Funk and Thompson, were equally effective in hitting the hoop, tallying 14 and 13 points, respectively.
Winless Cyclones Battle K-State At Ames Tonight
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 9—Intent on getting back into the thick of the Big Six basketball race after nearly a three-week rest, the Iowa State Cyclones meet the improved Kansas State Wildcats in State gymnasium here tonight.
The Cyclones have been idle in the Big Six since Jan. 22, when they were nosed out by Kansas State, but they have defeated Morningside during that period. On the other hand Kansas State has been active, losing to Missouri and Oklahoma, who are at present tied for the lead in the Big Six.
Coach Louis Menze has picked the same outfit to start this game that he has used in the last two games. Menze
GORDAN NICHOLAS
indicated that he would start Al Budolfson and either Bob Harris or Darrel Don Carlos at forwards; co-captain Gordon Nicholas, center; and Bob Menze and Dale DeKoster at guards. Menze has been alternating Don Carlos and Harris at forward for the past two games. In the Morning-side game Don Carlos counted 13 points, while Harris got nine before he left the game via the foul route.
The Wildcats are regarded as the hardest fighting team in the Big Six. Although they have not been able to turn the tables on the road, they are considered a difficult team to beat.
