Jack Gardner, Kansas State's yearling coach who brings his caging Wildcats to town tomorrow for a game with the Jayhawks in Hoch auditorium, came to Manhattan as a result of a vicious circle. Pull up a chair and I'll try to make a short story long.
To begin with, Wesley Fry, the present football mentor at K-State, was a star on Coach Howard Jones' University of Iowa team that won the Big Ten championship back in 1922. As years went by Jones moved to U.S.C. to become a coach, coaching game, and a little later Fry moved into Kansas State to take over the gridiron chores there.

Caution against overconfidence is foremost in the mind of Dr. F. C. Allen as he prepares his Jayhawks game. The Kansas State here tomorrow night.
"The scores of the games at Chicago were misleading," says Doctor Allen. "Kansas State played the more powerful team, DePaul. We played the weaker Loyola team. We saw Coach Jack Gardner's KAN team play DePaul and make no mistakes all the time, the Aggies are not weak by 10 percent, Reid, 6 foot 4 inch center, Guertant, 6 foot 5 guard, and Howe, 6 foot 3, are all big and powerful men. Seelye, the varsity football player, was brilliant in his guard position. "Coach Gardner uses Sam Barry's University of Southern California technique, and the Aggies are hard-working, hard-driving, and hard-working their star, works on the pivot point, one of the best rebound men that have seen."
Dr. F.C.Allen
"We are not expecting a walkaway, as is attested by Kansas State's visit over Crescent Tuesdale and Kansas State and Kansas State play, the outc
come is uncertain. We are expecting the fight of our lives."
In regard to the optimistic manier in which fans are regarding the remainder of the Kansas schedule, Doctor Allen said, "I am just a little araid that our enthusiastic basketball friends are building up our basketball team too rapidly, for a disappointing fail. We will play some very good games, and then we will slump to our normal playing efficiency. Our boys on this team are even better students than they are basketball players. Their weight and height do not match their Big Six opponents. Some night when our shooting is off and our opponents are 'hitting' as well as we were against Oklahoma, we will be beaten.
"The following night the same two teams, with the same personnel met and Oklahoma won 36-28. There was a decided reversal in form and the high expectations of the Kansas followers were dashed to a realization that Kansas had a good, hard-fighting team, but not an unbeatable one. That was the yer Kansas won 12 conference games out of 16, and Iowa State won 8 out of 10, with the Cyclones winning the conference championship on a percentage basis.
Sooners here last Friday night. Everyone proclaimed the Kansas team after that game as the greatest team ever had ever been on the floor.
"I vividly recall our two-game series played at Lawrence in 1935 when we met Oklahoma. The first night we defeated a great Sooner team 50-23. We were invincible that night as we were against the
"This Kansas team of 1940 reminds me very much of the great undefeated Kansas队 of 1923. Those boys were primarily students and secondarily sk球 player. On that '23 team we had Paul Endacott, the boy who made Sigma X in his senior year. He was one of

the most brilliant engineering students in the University's history. He is now president of our Alumni association and has made a great mark in scientific investigation and business.
Record of the McCraw-Hill Book company of New York, was another brilliant student and fine athlete on that team. Adolph Rump, now varsity basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, made equally well worked his way through college managing a connectionery store.
"Charlie Black, an executive of the Illinois-Owen Glass company of Chicago is called by many Kansas' greatest live athlete. John Wulf of Chicago, the great center; Bob Mosby, another guard, now with the Cook Paint company of Detroit; Tusten Ackerman, now with the Equitable Life Assurance company of Chicago; Armin Woostemery, cashier at the People's Bank in Lawrence; and Andy McDonald, now varsity basketball coach at Springfield Teachers College in Springfield, Mo., were equally brilliant students and they not only made their marks in college, but have made a very firm impression in the civic and business activities of the country."

In the meantime, Sam Barry, who had been basketball coach at Lowne while Jones was there, followed the players in a mock game and looked over the cage reupe at U.S.C.
Then just last year when the K-State officials were looking for a *successor* to Frank Root, to handle the Wildcat court teams, they again went hunting at the Los Angeles school and brought back Gardner, who had previously brought Williamson's roommate when the two were pacing the Trojans to victories on the gridiron and on the court.

These basketball players with injured knees haven't got anything on me. I've had br-r-r-srists for two weeks now. . . . John Glenn, thNorthwestern alumnus who has adopted Kansas as his athletic alm mummy, sent the cagers a wire tp them up at the Loyola game Johnny sent John Besher, froz cager, to M. Ttreat from Beards town, ill, and tries to be at a couple or three of the Jayhawker's game each year. He was here for the Oklahoma Aggie basketball titl and the Missouri football clash last year. . . . Duffel DeGroot, one of the
Herb Scheffler, Oklahoma's big rebounder, was brought to Norman to play baseball rather than basketball. After attending Northwestern a year Scheffler transferred to Jacksonville, Il., College where he led the little 19 conference in scoring with an average of 19 points a game. The next summer Herb came to Wichita and played at National Semifinals pro baseball tournament and Jap Haskell, the astute Sooner baseball coach, talked him into enailing at O.U. after Henry at学院 Bd him all but signed up for his Oklahoma Aggies.
Manhattan, Jan. 10 — Improved from nine games of experience but still green, Kansas State's basketball team will resume Big Six conference competition against Kansas University at Lawrence Friday night.
Coach Jack Gardner pronounced his team "much better off for the experience" gained in eight non-conference and one Big Six game played thus far. The Wildcats dropped their first league contest to Oklahoma and the game at Lawrence will be a huge week's play, which included games with DePaul University at Chicago Monday and with Creighton University at Omaha Tuesday.
Although missing his star performer, Ernie Miller, senior lettered guard who is out for the season with a fractured jaw, Gardner has been pleased with the improving defensive ability of his guards. Norris Holstrom, taking Miller's place in the lineup, and Melvin Seelye, senior guard and quarterback on the football team last fall, played most of the game against Oklahoma and probably will start against Kansas, favorite to win the conference championship. In the front line for the Wildcats and the Falcons, Jordan Ward, Joe Robertson, senior forward who led the K-State scoring against the Sooners; and Erwin Reid, senior center. Others who will see action' are Jack Horacech and Chris Languard, forwards; Richard Checksfield, center, and D. S. Guerrant and Kenny Graham, guards.
The K-Staters will concentrate on polishing up their offense before journeying to Lawrence where they will meet one of the strongest defensive clubs in this section of the country. In its first conference game against Oklahoma, KU. scored 48 and won by a wide margin. The State held Oklahoma on even terms during the first three-fourths of the gall game, but then the Sooners doubled their score in the final 10 minutes to win 50 to 33.
Kappa's and Pi Phi's Win Court Contests
Both the Alpha Chi's and the Kappa's found rough going in their game. The Alpha Chi's held a slight, 9 to 5 edge at the half. Betty Bridges. Alpha Chi forward, scored 13 of her team's 15 points.
Trailing four points at the half, the Kappa's come back ringup in baskets to defeat the speedy Alpha Chi six, 19 to 15, Tuesday night in Robinson gymnasium. At the same time Pi Beta Phi had a field day in winning, 41 to 5, over the A.O. Pi. Denny Lemoine was high scorer for the Pi Phi, with bounce passes and fast footwork letting her get past her guard for close shots. Virginia Hartman sank the A.O. Pi's points.
leading contenders for the Stanford coaching job, is a brother of Bert DecGroot of the physical dept. here. . Another of the clan—most considered black sheep by the two Stanford alumni—is one of Southern Cal's ace javelin tossers. . Ralph Miller played his first complete college athletic contest against Loyola Monday night. . He was the only one of the Jayhawks who stayed in the milling 40 minutes. . Jack Gardner, mentioned previously in this colm, once missed two free throws in the late minutes of a game that would have given Southern Cal a victory and a tie for the Pacific coast championship.

Kern, Phil Delt, swished a short push shot and McKinley put the game on lee with a charity toss. Sippa, Sigma Nu, kept his team in the game by his ability to hit from long range. Linderman's one-handed shots featured the Phi Delt's triumph.

feating a tough A.T.O. five, to be 14. The A.T.O. outfit might be truly termed as the "hard luck" team of intramurals. They have lost three of their four games, all by a margin of three points or less. Kramer was outstanding for the Delta against bound work. Renko and Hall, Delta Chi all-stars, were not up to their usual playing form.
