PAGE FOUR SUNDAY, JANUARY 7, 1939 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SIMONIZING. SPORTS You probably weren't aware of the first time, but when Kansas opened the basketball season biennial with Oklahoma A and M your were watching two of the finest teams in these more or less United States. Neither outfit could have rated brilliant that night of five weeks ago when the Jayhawks won out 34 to 30, but enough has happened in the interim to lead your agent to believe that they are now the "cream of the crop." Kansas had an off night in War- renburg and lost its only game of the young campaign, but the next time out caught fire to completely seattle Southern Methodist, a club that is known as at least "country fair." They played somebody Friday night when Oklahoma came to town for the Big Six curtain raiser, and I do mean played. The Sooners are plenty salty and there is no denying it, but Kansas gave them such a thorough licking that no one in the house doubled the ability of the Jayhawkers. They handed the ball so skillfully that the Sooners were unable to get close to it most of the time. They threw up a defensive phalanx that held the 47-point Oklahomaans to eight field goals and the 13-point Jimmy McNett to one. The dayhawkers bowled over three teams in copping the Sunflower tourney, but fans were still somewhat dubious as to the ability of the current edition of "Phog" Alen's string of champions. "We want to see them play somebody," they said. From the second quarter on Coach Allen had his team holding back, playing them safe. Had he allowed them to go out and swap baskets with the visitors, it is highly probable that they would have scored 65 or 70 points. The way they were going makes me believe the Jay-hawkers could have beaten any team in the country that night. Now back to Henry Iba's Oklahoma A. and M. Cowboys. After losing here they went home, chalked up over 50 points on a fine Pittsburgh Tochaer team, and headed East to show off. On the way to New York and back the Aggies took their third victory with all three players at the game. Downtown the business A. and M. sought through a fast field in spacecraft fashion to win the Oklahoma City civiltion tourney. Thousands of their cars were placed on the first air-utility team, which is so something of what Noah Webster had in mind when he played the initiative "to dominate" in his hip book book. Cassius Allen and Iba must be ranked among the foremost students in the game of basketball—if you refer to professors who continue to study no students. Their records prove it. Allen has booted home 22 champions in 29 years, and Iba has done almost as well over a shorter period. If they both have any more science into their game, the players would have to be equipped with microscopes and slide rules. Despite the fact that Kansas lacks a "giant" for rebound work, Allen has just about everything he needs. Ralph Miller is a wizard around the basket and at feeding the ball to mates driving in. Don Ebling is a sparkler to lead fast breaks. Bobby Allen is a big ball hand-ball handler, the loop and a device who can really clamp on the damper. In the back court Dick Harp and Johnny Kline form a bulwark that is tough to crack. Both are fine rebounds against players much taller, and Harp is a long shooter who can open up the enemy defense. With such first-rate replacements as Bruce Vorn, Howard Engleman, Bruce Reid, Bob Johnson, and Bill Goffen, you can be given a real new and then without weakening the lime-up. Iba has his team built around the highly polished Indian star, Jess Renick. Renick can usually be counted on for four or five buckets a game and that is a lot of points for a player on a low scoring team like A, and M. Vern Schwerfeger furnishes the team plenty of height and tip-in power under the basket. With such smooth floor men as Harvey Slade, Gene Smelser, and Howard Doyle in the game the Aggies present a formidable array of cagers. Feb. 15 these two powerhouses play their return contest at Stillwater in the Cowboy's spacious field house, and boy what a game that should be. Both teams will be wearing along in high gear by them. Beta's Drop First Contest To Phi Gam's - Ghosts Keep Winning; Phi Deit's Comet, Sigma Chi's and Theta Tau's Come Out Ahead By Clint Kanaga, c'42 Retaliating from a bitter 1-point defeat at the hands of Sigma Chi, Phi Gamma Delta walloped a previously unbeaten Beta Theta Pif five yesterday by the decisive margin of 47 to 27. Biggest reason for the Phi Gam's impressive victory was the addition of Larry McSpadden, freshman star, who quit the squad recently. McSpadden tallied 10 points, in addition to feeding the ball to teammates for several other buckets. The great Galloping Ghost's continued to be invincible, downing a tough Hollownell team, 41 to 28. Floyd Kelly was sparkplug of the day, turning up 13 points. Liam. Hound guard turned in his usual fine game. Phi Delta Theta won its third successive game, triumphing over a fighting Acacia outfit, 29 to 18. The absence of Charles Walker was noticeable. Llindeman and McKinley scored the scoring burden with nine and eight points, respectively. McKinley also proved atgain rebounded. An outstanding one-man performance by Domingo. Comet forward, gave his team a 24 to 22 win over Domino II in the third victory of the season. Domingo hit the hop for three goals and nine free throws, two of his charity tosses resulting in the winning margin. Sigma Chi remained undefeated with a 17 to 10 win over Pi Kappa Alpha. The Triangle's fell before Delta Upsilon, 23 to 25 John Beamer, D. U. guard, the star. Sigma Nu won for the first time this year, outplaying a good Delta Tau Delta five by a score of 28 to 21. A fast break was too much for the Hexagoni United to the Thaia Tau's, 20 to Seymour Lowe, who won 24-16 in a high light contest with Alpha C. Ingram. | | g | ft | 0 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | a | f | 7 | 2 | | b | f | 0 | 0 | | c | f | 2 | 0 | | d | c | 6 | 4 | | e | c, g | 4 | 1 | | f | g | 1 | 0 | BETAS (27) g f f Stoland, l 3 1 3 McCaslin, l 5 3 0 Letooy, l 0 0 1 Parca, c 0 1 1 Fess, g 1 0 3 Kipp, g 1 0 3 Kipp, g 2 0 3 | | g | ft | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Lindeman, f | 4 | 1 | | Baskett, f | 2 | 0 | | Kemp, f | 0 | 0 | | McKinley, c | 2 | 4 | | Silers, g | 2 | 1 | | Stauffer, g | 1 | 1 | | Lynch, g | 0 | 0 | | Newcomer, g | 0 | 0 | Totals 11 Martin, f g 1 ft f Watson, f 6 7 ft 3 Woodman, f 1 0 ft 1 Josserand, c 0 0 1 Miner, f 1 0 1 Wood, g 0 1 3 Totals 5 8 14 Movie To Depict Plight of Refugees "Refuge," a moving picture presentation a dramatization of suffering and struggles of Spain's refugees, will be shown in Fraser theater at 4:10 p.m. Monday, and is open to all University students. The movie, sponsored by the W.Y.C.A. and the M.Y.C.A., is part of the educational program in regard to war-torn throughout war-turn parts of the world. John O. Moore, secretary of the Y.M.C.A., announced that "The Four Hundred Million" a moving picture exhibit will be shown later in the year, Agiges have won almost 40 consecutive seraps at home and there is not much danger of the record being broken before the Jayhawkers it town. This should be the battle if the century. Books of all Publishers Distractive Gifts Rental Library Greeting Cards for all occasion THE BOOK NOOK 1021 Mass.

Friday Kansas vs. Kansas State at Law- Saturday Missouri vs. Iowa State at Ames, The Big Six conference basketball, race, which had a happy opening for Kansas fans Friday night, moves forward slowly next week as three quintets continue non-conference play.

On the same evening, "Plog" Allen's Jayhawkers and Kansas State will attempt to uphold the conference's court prestige when they engage Loyola and DePaul in a nonloop double-header at Chicago. Kansas returns to its own dugout following the twin bill, but the team would like one-night stand against Creighton Tuesday night. Two traditional rivals of the Sooner state—Oklahoma U. and Oklahoma A. and M...play at Norman Wednesday night in the first of two games this season which will decide the mythical championship of the state. Both already have suffered defeats by Kansas. Jayhawkers Headed---have something to sell---- SPOT-LIGHT it with advertising! Time out will be taken Thursday night by the entire conference, but Friday Kansas State comes to Lawrence for some vague reason. It can hardly be for the ride with the weather being what it is, and it doesn't make sense to go to the club joyfully in their meeting with the red hot Jawkeyers. Missouri's defending co-champions haul up the curtain on their Big Six stage Saturday night when they clash with Iowa State at Ames. Flip a coin if you want to guess the winner.
