Kansas Leaves Tonight For Tilt with Missouri
SIMONIZING.. SPORTS
By JAY SIMON
By Milt Meier
Ye old sports ed has asked for a repeat order on his "colm" while he absorbs a little book knowledge so buck up while this column buckles under the weight of my efforts to keep it up to par:
You can bet even money that the score of the Missouri-Iowa State tilt Monday night will be the lowest in the Big Six this season. . . . the first half was drier than the onions in the second floor attic back home . . . the score at the half was nine to nine. . . the high scorer of the game, Currence, made seven points to lead the Tiger's offensive.
Iowa State's "tully twins" of last year, Harris and Nicholas, scored eight points between them . . . the Cyclones now have an average of 22 points per Big Six game as compared with a 47-point average for non-conference games. The Iowa State team is the fans picked in Iowa State the darkhorse of the conference definitely must have been wearing dark glasses.
The Tiger-Cycle tilt gave the league twin leaders with two victories and no defeats apiece . . . the situation will be alleviated Thursday night when Kansas tangles with Missouri at Columbia . . . the Jayhawkers will win and average last season's wins. Missouri . . . that's not only climbing on on a limb, that’s planting little acorns out of season.
Try this for your elocation, courtesy of the Des Moines Register sports page: "Late Kansas Gift Flipp Nkaps-Kg 34 to 33" . if you caray that three times in rapid succession, you don't need to worry about your elocation . . apply for a teacher's certificate.
The cagars at Temple University don't average their usual 6 feet 4 inch height this year so you guess what they have taken as a mimeon . . . "They have taken me to Tot's" . . . they hey, take my rattle out of the mothballs, willva?
Add strange as it seems item Bruce Voran, fair-haired lad of the K-State game has made four field goals in each of the games he has played . . . he is hoping he's in the groove against the Tigers tomorrow night . . . incidentally, Kansas has the best record of any team for victories against the Tigers in the Missouri fieldhouse. . . four out of 11 is the verdict, which all goes to show that Missouri is tougher at home than the holder of a first mortgage . . .
Basketball fans interested in seeing an awe-inspiring sight should go watch the Jayhawk Frush practice some night . . . there they would see 6 foot 8 inch John Hallberg, the Gulliver of the Kansas cagers in action . . . Horace Mason, the University sports public man, tabs Marvin Sollenberger, yearling guard, as a Big Six star of the future . . . all of which should make Coach Allen happy . . . he needs a tall boy like Hallberg to compete with other teams, and Sollenberger will come in handy when Harp graduates.
Don't be surprised if Howard Eingleman gets the go signal at a forward post against the Tiger's to-morrow night . . . his knee is defiant in both he and Miller should both go hot in basket, there will be no stopping the dabwackers , . . . to any doubling Thomases, his bad knee and
★ Missouri Favored To Win Big Six Battle on Its Home Court; Coach Allen Drills Joyhawkers on Offense in Effort To Sharpen Scoring Punch
A band of Kansas Jayhawkers, determined to maintain the top rung on the Big Six ladder and at the same time average last year's stinging defeat at Columbia, leaves for the Missouri invasion at 8:02 o'clock tonight.
Both teams have won two conference starts, Kansas having defeated Oklahoma and Kansas State while Missouri has trounced Nebraska and Iowa State. The game tonight will leave one undefeated team at the top of the heap with two strikes on the rest of the league and will be a favorite to go ahead and cop the pennant.
Leaving scores of league games out of the picture, or includ ing them if you wish. Microsoft
by all logical reasoning should reign as the favorite in tomorrow night's game.
Advantage to Tigers
Against this combination, the Kansas Pony Express presents a team which probably will start four juniors and one senior, and which has no squadman more than 6 feet 2 inches in height.
Missouri has the advantage of playing on its home floor before a strictly home crowd. It also has the advantage of height and experience. All the starters on the Tiger team except one are seniors. Haskell Tison, 6 foot 7 inch giant and Blaine Currence, 6 foot 5 inch center provide the stratospheric advantage. In addition, Captain John Lobisiger is no small package, as he measures in at 6 foot 3 inches.
Remembering that Tison nearly put the skids under the Crimson and Blue in their tilt here last year, the Kansas cagers are sure to have their hands full in the important game to morrow.
Looking back to the K-State game in which the Jayhawkers were colder than a clammy handshake in basket shooting, Coach "Phop" Allen sent his cagers through a lengthy drill on the field, firing from beyond. Look good in practice.
"The boys looked pretty good in practice today, but they will have to be plenty good to beat Missouri on its own court," Dr. Allen remarked when questioned concerning the game.
The New Olds - Bigger and Better in Every Way
Besides practice on offense, the Jayhawkers also have been working on a defense to miss Missouri. Missouri has shown a consistent scoring punch since Currence and Cooper returned from the football wars and it is these two men that have been largely responsible.
Cooper scored 11 points as the Tiger's triumph over the Haskers 46 to 33. Currence led the Missouri's victory over the Iowa State quintet with seven points. Aided by Bill Harvey, sharpshooting forward and Tison, proper scoring dynamo the Tiger's will present an offensive team which should give the rock-ribbed Kansas defense its severest test.
Coach Allen has given his defense a careful check with special emphasis centered on holding down Currence Cooper and Harvey.
The Jayhawker coach announced yesterday that Howard Engleman, flashy forward kept on the bench for all but a few games against the Tiger's. With Engleman teaming at forward with Miller, the Jayhawkers could present a scoring duo that takes a back seat from none in the conference.
If Engleman shouldn't start at forward, Bruce Vorton may get the go signal. If Engleman does start, Vorto
nothing else is what has kept Engle-
man on the bench.
Things you may not know: Ralph Miller, Jayhawk scoring ace, leads the Big Six in conference scoring with a 10 point per game average . . . the Jayhawkers have the best offensive average in the loop to date, average 40 points per game . . . Missouri has the best defense, holding Iowa State and Nebraska to a 20 point per game average . . . putting two and two together, this makes the battle tomorrow night loom as one of the thrillers of the basketball season.

may start anywhere at one of the guard posts. Voran, left-handed shot artist, would give another shot in the right hand and is a good rebound man also.
Kansas has a slightly higher scoring average per Big Six game than the Tiger's, but the Missouri caddies have held their two opponents to 20 points per game while Oklahoma and K-State had 30 points against the Hawkeyws.
More than 5,500 fans are expected to jam Brewer fieldhouse for the contest.
Kansas Food Terminal Is One of World's Largest
Fort Worth, Tex. (UIP) - A $4,000-000 public market at Kansas City, Kan., one of the largest in the world, is among $4,000,000 worth of Pub-$4,000 Administration projects now under construction in seven Southwestern states.

Two refrigeration buildings are included, one five stories high and the other one story.

The Sigma Chi “B”'s won from the Beta "B"’S 25-21 with Reed, Sigma Chi, taking the scoring honors with 11 counters.
In the Phi Psi-Alpha Kappa Psi "B" team encounter, Hodge led the Phi Psi's to a 20 to 13 win.
Haverford, Pa.—(UP)—The maximum desirable enrollment for any college is 400 students, according to Dr. William Wistar Comfort, retiring president of Haverford College and foe of "factory" education.
"Four hundred students can get to know each other and live together more or less homogeneously." Dr. Comfort insisted. "But a school of 4,000 is almost inevitably a factory. All the interplay of personal interests lot."
Contending that the nation has taken on such a big job of education that it has eliminated the personal relationship between student and teacher, Dr. Comfort pointed out "you must educate one person at a time."
SUNDAY "HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME"
"I'm afraid a lecture class of 50 is too large." he continued.
Dr. Comfort, known as "Old Billy to Haverford's 329 students, has announced that he will retire next June.
