Jayhawk Cagers Look to Missouri Tilt for Trouble
Two Conference Victories and Loop Leadership Fail To Brighten Kansas' Hopes for the Tiger Game Thursday Night at Columbia
With one eye on two conference victories and the other o the Missouri Tiger's Coach "Phog" Allen and his Jayhawkers are preparing for the Missouri invasion Thursday night in a gam which should go far in telling the outcome of the Big Six titl chase.
Just a little bit bury after that chilling one-point victory over K-State's Wildcat's, the Kansas squad looks apprehensively toward the meeting with another member of the feline family. Remembering what the Tiger's did to them at Columbia last year, and what the Tiger's did to the Husker's at the same spot Saturday, the Jayhawker's are not letting their two conference victories throw them off the trail.
A bright spot in the Kansas victory over the Wildcat's was the
SIMONIZING..
SPORTS
By Milt Meier
Serris gathered from hither and you in the present basket-ball scramble and served to you as a discourse of the six-course fanatastic basketball campaign:
The Missouri Tiger's rampage opened the string-bean Husker's in Saturday night's game at Columbia looked for the rest of the Big Six sky outward appearances . . . the Huskers had four former all-Nebraska high school cogers on the those that didn't . . . neutral sources say the Huskers' didn't look so hot against the Tiger's . . . yes, and the 49 to 25 score substitutes the rusher.
South Korea State hold the Jaybricker's to a 24 to 33 victory, Friday night, the Big Six race has taken on the aspect of just one big happy scramble agan' . The Crimson and Blue 6e to 26 victory over the Seoul's in the opener has been all not forgotten . . . after that famous Kansas victory, the sports series has no time hopping on the high school bandwagon . . . incidentally, the Aggie's showed two new men who will cause several backlashs this year . . . they are Dove and Holtrom, both scrappers and sharpshooters.
Kansas State fans hope their team's scoring are non-habit forming . . . The Angle's first two conference games ended with 33 points for the cagers and 40 of them were losses . . . The K-State's new showing an improved team this year but victories will be as source portions . . . the postseason. Every team in the league is holding up this year.
Add reversals in form: one week after being beaten by Hutchinson 10 to 18, Ark City High upset Winfield High 21 to 19 . . . Winfield has all but one member of its state high champs back . . . Tucker, the Winfield whiz, scored 12 of his team's 19 points.
Bill Hahn, ex-Fresh eager of a year ago, is going strong in the Nassau league of Kansas City ... reports from the metropolis says that he was going around Roy Nashie as Jayhawkeye guard and all-Big Six of a few years back, like Bill Hahn, who dribbles and proof of Hahn's fools the look of 'em ... . . . some say it's ill-people, but I say it must be good.
Missouri's athletic heads are rubbing their hands with glee as they untangle a full Brewer fieldhouse for the Jawahyer-Tiger game Thursday night . . . but the Kansas capers have a haunting memory of the 55 to 31 shellocking they took at the Mizner Stadium in any instance, the increased seating capacity of Missouri's fieldhouse will be needed.
Coach Plug "Allen blots out his chances for a Big Six penchant with a picture that is darker than the bottom of a new bride's first bicamara . . . that is, if Kansas continues playing just so-so games
he says that "four teams and possibly two more will take several kickins before this campaign is over" . . . the game against the Tiger's Thursday night should clear up a lot of the fog on the crystal ball . . . after that game, wagers should be a little easier to figure. **Postscript** Scribe Bell's disgust for the manner in which the grand-land carried on Friday night at the K-State tilt it received my heartiest support . . . the board asked for as tea at a coattail party . . . some of the offending was bad perhaps but not the lead.
return to action of Howard Engleman, high-scoring forward Although he didn't show to the best advantage, the fact that he is ready for action is a reassuring thought.
Coach George Edwards has much of the material with which he built his winning squad of last season, and in addition has a large re-inforcement of sophomores.
His greatest concern is the competition that the Tigers face in the conference this season. Missouri might conceivably be a great deal stronger than a year ago and yet not finish with a high rating because of the improvement in the other conference teams.
Kansas became the foremost exponent in this belief when it dealt Oklahoma a crushing 46 to 26 defeat in the Big Six opener. The fact that Kansas was lucky to win the K-State game detracts little from the brand of hall of which the Jayhawker's are capable.
The Missouri team has functioned around the leadership of John Lobsiger, the all-Big Six guard, in its games to date. Lobsiger, one of the best guards in the conference in his junior year, now is at the peak of his court career and should be among the top players in nation this year. The Jayhawkers will be watching him Thursday night.
Loren Mills and Martin Nash, a holdover from last year, alternates as Lobsiger's running mate. Mills is an accurate long shot artist, but Nash is the steader of the two and is a defensive bullwark.
Edwards is as well fortified for center material as any team in the conference with "Stringbean" Blaine Currence and Haskell Tison about equally able to handle the position. Tison is the lad who caused the Jayhawkers so much trouble in the game here last year. He stands 6 feet 7 in his basketball shoes which makes him a constant scoring threat. He has a big chance of being Cleo Koch regularly a year ago, have the call for the forward spots, but here, again, Edwards has a wealth of reserve. Cooper may have to relinquish his spot to any one of three rapidly improving sophomores. They are Herb Gregg, Don Harvey and Keith Bangert, all high scorers and good floor men. Cooper, the fastest man on the team, probably will share his position with all of them, but Harvey, fast regaining the form that made him a sensation two years ago as a sophomore, will be at the top when he attains his best under the basket, where it is almost impossible to keep him from scoring if he gets both hands on the ball.

Intramural Race Becomes Tougher
- Undefeated Teams Fall from Perch; Phi Gam's Loom As Favorites
As another week of the intramural basketball becomes history the list of undefeated teams is reduced. Sigma Chi, Domines I and Kappa Sigma are the latest cages in the intramural cage sounds remain unbeaten.
Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta in Division I, the Galloping Ghosts and the Comets in Division II, Alpha Kappa Psi and the Boccaneers in Division III, are the six fortune outfits.
The Phi Delt's and the Bucaneers each have three games to be played within the next week. The law of averages says that they will both drop at least one of these contests.
The Bucaneers encounter Rock Chalk, Dunnakin Club, and the Jayhawk Co-op. None of these teams should be strong enough to down the Bucaneers. Bucaneers, Ulrich Bourne, and Vandevere are a scoring trio which will be hard for the best teams to hold in check.
The Phi Deltis the ones who should worry. If, by any chance, they can stop the Phi Gam powerhouse presenting a front line of Hambrick, Morris, and McSpadden, they will have their hands full with a touch Pi Kappa Alpha five. The Phi Deltis is an important part of the Beta's and the Triangles. A postmenon contest with Sigma Phi Epsilon is also scheduled.
Wednesday night, Hall, Renko, and company of the Delta Chi will have to be at their best to win from a revengeful Sigma Chi five. The Sigma Chi will be for blood. The champion Galloping Ghosts, with five victories under their belts, will have a week of rest. One of the smoothest passing ball clubs seen this year is the A.K. Psi team. They will endeavor to improve their record against the Mississippi Meteors Friday. Players to watch on the A.K. Psi are Johnson, leading scorer of intramural; Funk, one-handed shot artist; "Red" Thompson, a clever ball handler; Lee Huddleston, a fine guard; and Eldeth Cadwalader, splendid rebound man.
Other contests of more than casual interest are: Pi KA--Kappa Sigma, Wednesday; Alpha Chi Sigma-Hexagon; Alcaphi Sigma-Sigc Ep Saturday; and Beta--Sigma Chi a week from today.

Dr. F. C. Allen, famed Jayhawk cage coach, probably didn't have the idea that his books on basketball really would serve, indirectly of course, as correspondence courses for basketball minded people of other lands. Yet that is what latest reports indicate.
That his book "Better Basketball" has a wide circulation is invined in letters received recently by Coach Allen, from England and Brazil.
From Belo Horizonte, Brazil came a letter written by Gerson Sabine, which in part said, "I have your book, Better Basketball; with it I have won many games and championships here in my club, the Minas Tennis".<sup>❸</sup>
The Englishman, Laurence Nelson, had reviewed "Better Basketball" for the Manchester City News and desired a copy of Dr. Allen's earlier book, "My Basketball Bible", that he might review it.
Nu Sig's Defeat Phi Chi's 35 to 21 and Win Title
Sabino proposed the novel idea of a free throw contest between his club and the University starting five. "This would be the first correspondence contest in the world between two contests interested in basketball, and the honor would go to the Minas Tennis Club," says Sabino.
The great Kansas runner tried to catch Venzke in a final bid down the stretch, but was nosed out at the finish by a foot. Fenske was side 30, two yards behind Cunningham, Wayne Rideout finished in fourth position and Luigi Becali, 1952 Olympic champion of Italy, was last.
His proposal was for each player to shoot 100 free throws on a certain day on 50 each backboard, making a total of 250 shots. The Club has already competed against
Those old rivals, Glenn Cunningham and Gene Venkze, were at it again Saturday night as they matched strides in the Boston mile which Venkze won in the slow lap. The Boston Garden. The time was nearly nine seconds slower than Cunningham's indoor record.
Cunningham, in his ninth season f campaigning, was in second place until the eighth lap when he moved to the lead past Chuck Fenske, ormer Wisconsin collegiate mile ce. Venkke came up fast, however, and bounded past the field to take he lead.

"My ambition is to see basketball played by Britons like cricket and football. The Amateur Basketball Association of New York this direction." Nelson concludes.
Nelson, in his letter from Manchester, told considerable about basketball in England. "Basketball has not yet been adopted in Britain in a big way," Nelson reports. "The pubs, sport with the girls' game, netball."

Vogue Announces Camera Contest
A contest for snap-happy camera fans was announced this week by the editors of Vogue, New York women's magazine, winners of which will receive a six month's apprenticeship, with salary, in the Conde Nast Publications studio, publishers of the magazine.
Mrs. Chase, editor-in-chief of Vogue, in making the contest announcement said, "It is natural for Vogue to turn to the colleges where there is a keen interest in photography and a background in the arts well able to produce the type of photographer suited to our editorial requirements. We believe that among the student body of our American colleges there are many promising photographers. It is our purpose to discover them through this contest."
In addition to the two first prizes, one for both women and men, Vogue will award eight cash prizes and honorable mentions. The man and woman who win the first awards will become permanently employed by the Conde Nast Publications if they apprentice is successful.
The contest will be composed of a series of eight photographic problems to be presented in the magazine. These will cover a wide range of topics, including outdoor and indoor shots, actions, and still life.
Winners of the contest will join Vogue's New York staff on or about June 15. Interested photographers are asked to write to Conde Nast News Service, 420 Lexington Ave., New York City.
