SIMONIZING.. SPORTS
By JAY SIMON
Holiday rebounds in the world of sports as Mt. Oread marks time for the big basketball clash tomorrow night when Oklahoma and Kansas open the Big Six campaign in Hoch auditorium:
Well, I guess Coach Dufau Knowles by now why they made Georgia Tech the favorite. . . Just like the feller in the story, the Tigers are a little stiff from bowling. . . The Big Six took in on the chin in the basketball world, too, as some of the over-ambitions schedules began to back-fire. . . Kansas was the only team to come through unsheathed as they walked over a relatively weak field to capture Topaek's Sunflower get-together. . . Oklahoma split a pair with Arkansas then headed East, Temple stopped the "scatters" 42 to 36, then Oklahoma evened things by downing Fordham, in Madison Square Garden in that double-header that saw Missouri lose to N.Y.U. . . Besides the trimming at New York the Tigers were nosed out by a point by St. Louis at Philly. . . Earlier in the vacation Coach George Edwards' defended co-champions a two-game series at St. Louis, winning from St Louis U. and losing to Washington.
Nebraska's man-killer schedule got the job done. The Huskers were beaten by Minnesota and Utah, decisively, as both opponents rang up more than 60 points, Detroit U. nosed them out by a point. The tall men from Lincoln got their revenge with victories over Stanford and Wisconsin. . . Iowa State was in action only once during the give and take season, but that was enough to spoil its perfect record. The nearby Drake Bulldogs avenged an earlier defeat in stopping the Cyclones 5-game winning streak with a 3 at 29 triumph. Kansas State's two-game trip to the Ohio valley disproved when Evansville, Ind., and Kentucky both took the Wildcats' measure.
In non-conference play the owyahawkers are leading the field with 6 wins against 1 loss with the rest of the league trailing as follows: Iowa State, 5 and 1; Oklahoma, 3 and 2; Missouri, 3 and 3; Kansas State, 3 and 3, and Nebraska 3 and 4. . Jimmy McNatt, Oklahoma's twice-all-conference forward, is leading the scorers with a 132 average, having passed Iowa State's Gordon Nicholas. . The Cyclones have three men in the first five as Al Budolphson and Bob Harris continue to follow the pace of Nicholas. . Capt. Harry Pitcaithe is nosing out the giants Fitz and Randall for scoring honors at Nebraska and sophomore Danny Howe and senior Ervin Reid are pacing Kansas State
The Oklahoma Aggies have rump up 10 straight wins after dropping their opener here to the Javakhwers
... The Cowboys took everything in sight back East then came home to mop up a classy field in the Oklahoma City tourney. ... The best crack of the vacation is credited to Jimmy Adams, star guard of Pittsburg Teachers who paced his team in the Oklahoma meet. Talking about Arkansas' brigade of long, lean, hungry looking eden, Adams sez. "The only time you get a re-bound on those guys is when the ball takes a bad hop." . S.M.U., the team Kansas downed twice, beat Loyola of Chicago by four points a few days ago. ... The Jayhawks go to Chi next Monday for a tilt with Loyola.
Entries for Ping Pong Tourney Due Saturday
Entries for the annual all-University ping pong tournament, which will be held in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building before the due date before 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, it was announced yesterday.
Sooners Are Still the Speediest in the Midwest, U.P. Writer Says
By Carl Lundquist,
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 3, (UP) — Oklahoma's team who made basketball a game of "run-shoot-run" will have to operate at top speed this year to defend successfully the share of the Big Six conference they took home last spring.
The Sooners have taken three out of five in pre-season competition. They won from Southern Methodist 57 to 32, split a two-game series with Arkansas, winning 49 to 36 and losing 40 to 37, and divided two games in the East. Temple downed Oklahoma, 42 to 36, but the Sooners came back to take Fordham, 55 to
George Spears.
The Sooners, fast
prators in the mid-west, made
such a hit with
their runaway tactics
that otherevery time they
set about to devise means of
beating them at
their own game.
We hope you have enjoyed every moment of your stay at home during Christmas and New Year. Now, we welcome you once more, and we wish you a successful year.
A Friendly Message to K.U. Students
How successful can CARE BEWARE their opponents will be can be told only with the unwinding of the player's hand. The squid has quickened its offensive tempo in an effort to keep up with the Sooner sprites. In addition, the boards of strategy have worked at length on defensive tactics, designed to slow down the fast break, but thus far most of the coaches admit that nothing short of barbed entanglements would do the trick.

Lois Wissler became leader in handball as she defeated Virginia Anderson in the final round of the tournament. Hand ball was a competitive sport for the first term of intramural activity.
The next round of aerial darts and ping pong must be played by Jan. 9. This ruling applies in both championship and consolidation brackets.
Jayhawkers Take Tourney; Prepare for Sooner Tilt
Hopes To Hold Hot Pace Friday
Jimmy McNatt, all-conference forward for two years, is the stand-out of the east and thus far in his senior year he appears to have lost none of theerve that made him the hardest player in the circuit to stop in his first two seasons. He moves with the craftiness of a fox and shoots the ball while in a full run. He also sets a new conference scoring record for a single game with a total of 29 points. His regular running mate, Marvin Mesch, is listed as a guard and does most of the back-court

A tournament for University facenrs, both faculty members and students, will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in Robinson gymnasium, it was announced today. The contest is sponsored by the University Fening club.
Outdoor activities on the slide and the time shortly passed for the nightly dozen on the dance floor, women's intramural crews turn their minds again to basketball, ping pong, and aerial darts.
Kappa Alpha Theta will turn their forces against Alpha Delta Pi's six tonight in Robinson gymnasium at 9 o'clock. At the same time, the team counts to count will be their next-door neighbors, Gamma Phi Beta.
'En Garde' to All Fencers Saturday
the team's busiest man. Scheffler, tall and well-built, probably will need little relief unless injured, but occasionally has a slump. He was the stand-out center of the conference last season, but has been shifted to guard this year to make room for 6 foot 6 inch Hugh Ford. Coach Drake, who took over as head of the staff last season, is a stickier for fundamentals. A tip-off on what to expect from the Sooners came early in the practice season when he made a standing offer of a neck-tie to any player who could make 48 out of 50 free throws. Mcnatt was the first to claim the prize with 48 the day after Drake made the offer.
work, but performs as a forward on offense. Masch is almost as fast as McNott and a little cooler under fire. His ability to keep calm the Sooners several last minute victories in the past two seasons.
The third member of the "sohpomore scats" who started the fire department game three years ago, is Gene Gao, a guard. Roop, the smallest of the regulars, is still only a fraction of an inch less than six feet tall, and is an excellent rebound player. Coach Crouse used throws into position, because of his accuracy as a passer, along with his ability to break in a hurry at the first sign or an opening.
The contestants will be split into three brackets; women, advanced and beginning fencers. Applications for participation in the tournament must be in the hands of Jim Rapport instructor in physical education, William Trual, c40, or Haven Glassmire, e42, on noon, Friday.
Women Cagers Back to the Court
After having a fairly easy
After having a fairly easy time breezing home ahead of the field in Topeka's Sunflower cage tourney, the Jayhawkers are buckling down for their tough Big Six opener against Oklahoma here tomorrow night.
The game will pit the high-geared Sooners of Coach Bruce Drake against a defensive Kansas club that has yielded no more than 34 points in any one game. The Oklahoma huskers have averaged 47 points per tilt in five out of seven games out of five. One of them will have to give in. Outshine the Field
Kansas was by far the class of the Topека meet as it downed Baker, 34 to 18, New Mexico Mines, 40 to 24, and Washburn, 52 to 34. However, the three day meet allowed Dr. Forrest Allen to give his team one week's run, and on the whole the entire squad profited from the experience.
"I believe the team's defense, as a unit, improved a great deal." Doctor Allen said yesterday before varsity practice.
Herb Scheffler probably will.
The return of Bob Allen's eye for the basket was one of the bright spots in the Jayhawker victory. The raven-haired son of the coa n led the team in scoring and was placed on the all-tournament teams of both Topeka newspapers. His scoring in the meet pushed his total to 56 for the season and he now leads his mates with an 8-point average for the seven games.
Horn and Yuan Picked
Dick Harp was named on the all-star team by the Topena State Journal, and Bruce Varan was named on the Daily Capital's mythical quintet.
Harp and Voran Picked
Bruce Reid didn't make any of the honor rolls, but this senior forward sparked the team much of the time. Also encouraging was the improvement noted in Ralph Miller's injured knee. "Capple" was his best performance in the court faster and in two of the games he bagged 10 points.
The Jayhawkers trimmed Baker university, 34 to 18, in the opening round and met New Mexico Miners in the semi-finals. The Miners were paced by Gene Clark, the star of the tourney, and at the first half a 23 to 18 lead on the Kansans. A Stubborn Defense
In the second period, however, the Jays demonstrated their great defensive ability by holding the boys from New Mexico to a single point. The Jays were advancing, Advancing to the finals, the Jay-hawkers were pitted against the

Tough Battles On Intramural Cage Slate Today
The intramural basketball season will get under way in carnest today, commencing where it left off before the Christmas holidays. Already many of the teams have assumed prominent positions as title contenders. Some of the outstanding champion Galloping Ghosts, Comets, A K Psi, Sigma Alpha Epison, Buccaneers, Phil Delta Theta, Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pci.
The Phi Delta Theta five suffered a severe shock to their championship hopes by the loss of Charles Walker, 6' 3" center, who reported Tuesday for varsity ball. Walker was the leading scorer of the Phi Delta ball handler, and one of the best rebounded men in intramurals.
This afternoon's schedule exhibits
an array of exciting contests. Foremost of these games should be the Galloping Ghosts-Hellhounds battle. Both five are undefeated and boast two victories apiece.
