PAGE FOUR 704 FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1939 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SIMONIZING... SPORTS B. JAY SIMON After studying the basketball schedules in the book of my notebook and taking a quick glance at the calendar, I find Oklahoma and Kansas are playing basketball in Lawrence tonight. Feeling sure there are a few details missing, I have decided to put myself on the witness table and wring them out of me. Ques: Mr. Simon, where are these two teams playing. Ana: They are playing in spacious and flag be-spangled Hoch auditorium, or as it is sometimes called, Mt Oread's beautiful basketball palestra. Ques: Are they just going to play a basketball game? Ans: No, sir, they are going to pry the lid off the 1940 Big Six hoop scramble. Ques.: This should be a good race shouldn't it? Ana: You ain't just massaging your molaris, Mister, this is going to be the dog-fight-inflict campaign conference has ever laid eyes on. Ques. Who do you wish will win? Ans. I look for Kansas and Iowa State to battle it out with Missouri and Oklahoma, with Nebraska making lots of trouble. Does that answer your question? Ans: Probably a tie, but to be more specific, the Big Six cage gon-falon. Ques.: Perfectly. Now can you tell me what the winner will get? Queen: More of this game tonight, Mr. Simon. Can you tell something about this visiting Oklahoma club? Ana: You mean this scourge of the Southlands that is expected to strike terror into the very hearts of our five teams of the circus? Ques.: In a word, "yes." Ques: What style of basketball do these Sooners play? Anna; Well, the Sooners are defending co-champions of the Big Six and are coached by Bruce Driske, a young cage maestro who has been proving himself a master in the tough world of basketball. The team's ringleader is Jimmy McNatt, a net-swishing luminary who has been twice named all-conference forward and who holds the loop's individual scoring record for a single game. Arms: Fire-wagon basketball. They streak up and down the hardwoods at breakneck speed, swapping baskets with their opponents, and letting fagged players fall where they may. Ques: Do the Jayhawkers also use this style? Ans: They can, if forced to it, but "Bogus" boys would rather employ their slow-breaking, methodical attack that depends on precision, timing, and accuracy for its effectiveness. Ques.: What will the winner of tonight's game receive? Ans: Besides a pat on the back from their coach and a nice wrist-up in their school paper, the victors will get a jump on the other five teams in the quest of the golden fleece of Middlewestern basketball. Ques: What does a Jayhawker call one of his mates who makes a lot of baskets? Ans.: A hot rock. Ques: Is that what you call him? Ans: Sometimes, but usually refer to him as a torrid pebble. Ques.: What happened the last time these two teams played? Ans.: Kansas captured a thrilling Sig Alph's Drop First Contest In Cage League "Lamplighter" Johnson vein- quished his usual role as high point- getter to his teammate, Funk. an A. K. Pal overwhelmed the Duma- kup to 23. Against the Jayhaw Camp Johnson tallied 22 points. Funk's record total for the season when he got 21 points on the Dumaku. - Delta Chi's Break Their Record; Dominate, Hexagons and A.T.O. Outfits Also Come Through Ability to gain rebounds on most occasions gave the Delta Chi five a 22 to 19 victory over the heretofore unbeaten Sigma Alpha Epsilon team Wednesday night in the opening intramural game of the new year. Bali, Bali, Sig Alph captain and guard, the best player. He only took him high scoring honeys with five field goals turned in a splendid floor game. Kramer and Hall performed well for the winning outfit. Galloping Dominies II won a tight defensive battle from Alpha Chi Sigma, 14 to 13. Brock, Dominie forward, swished the winning goal from way out. Hexagons I triumphed over ISA-3 in their first game of the season, slaughtering it to the tune of 70 to 22. The Gibbs and Denel and Chester of football rekindled gathered 36 of their team's goal. Alpha Tau Omega downed a hard fighting Fii Kappa Paia team 26 to 24 for their first win. The A T O's last their opening two games to the Phi Delt' and Sig Alph's by close margins. Bill Arthur, A. T. O., was hot. He couldn't seem to miss the hoop, hitting nearly all of his goals on a 1-banded jump shot executed in the vicinity of the free throw line. Arthur got seven buckets and two charity tazes. Arbuckle kept the Phi Pa's in the game with a long shot which he sank consistently from the center of the court. Delta Tau Delta "B" defeated Pik A, K "A" by a margin of 29 to 17. Gamma Tau, Tau, garnered the most points, 11. DELTA CA (23).

Ques: Are you going to the game? Ans: That’s the silliest question you've asked yet. I wouldn't stay home with Lana Turner tonight. National Fame to Vic as Inventor Coaches O.K. Hurt's Game Vic Hurt, University assistant football coach, jumped into the national gridiron spotlight last week at the National Association of Coaches, which met in Los Angeles, when his patented magnetized football strategy popular among the coaches and a popular sale of the product was begun. The board, believed to be the first practical one of its kind ever manufactured, is made of a 2-foot square crinkled stee heet painted green. The men on the board are represented by small bodies which are doughnut- like. The body is composed of a light but tough protease - like material. These bodys are just shells and two Vic Hurt small magnets lie inside them and may be observed on the underside of the structure. This allows them to lie flat with the board. The ball is shaped like a football and is made of the same material as the men. One team is colored yellow, the other white. The ball is also white. The basketball is uniformly marked. It is guaranteed to last 10 years. Basketball boards, similar to the football board, are also being made. After a long search for a company that would sell magnetized steel, Hurt finally located one in Omaha with whom he contracted for the manufacture of the board last summer. After experimenting to perfect the board for about three months, the company finally emerged with what they and Hurt thought was a good board. The company bought the manufacturing rights from Hurt and paid his expenses to the National coaches association meeting where the board was demonstrated. The board attracted more attention than any other piece of football equipment exhibited. Even old Alonzo Stagg, who has seen all the footballs in a half-century was impressed, and expressed his desire to possess one.

Hurt said. After experimenting with crude boards for several years, Hurt finally decided just what his desired strategy board would assume. The board allows the squadron to get a clear vision of exactly what each player does on every play and what the play actually will look like on the field. Also there is not the danger of a player getting mixed up by viewing a tangle of chalk lines as the coach demonstrates variations of a play or a defense. Another advantage is that the board method is about Theta's Win, 27-4 Over A. D. Pi's After going through a scoreless opening quarter, the Theta basketball team defeated Alpha Delta Pi 2 to 4, in Robinson gymnasium last night. In the other game Gamma Pi downed the Chi Omega 6 to 2 in a low-scoring affair. Neither team scored in the first half. 4 four times as fast as the old methods and is much less trouble.

The board will be sold by all the leading sporting goods firms of the nation as none have been granted special contracts.
