SIMONIZING.. SPORTS
A few items from the diary of a
Jayhawker at the 1399 sports year
draws itself toward a close:
the dramatic appearances of Ralph Miller on the basketball court or the football field. . . How last winter he hobbled around on the hardwoods, and at times tied together the loose ends of Kansas State football game this fall he came in for 27 seconds, threw two perfect strikes, and how the second was caught in the end zone for the only Kansas tally of the tilt. . . The crowd that jammed Hoch auditorium clear to the "rafters" for the home basketball finale with Oklahoma, and how Howard Engleman kept pouring the leather through the hoop. . . How the fanzined wowed when the gas was won, 39 to 45, and Engleman set up a new scoring record with 27 points. . . Tough to break the record you coach had set up so many years before.
The sensational finish the cagers put on at Kansas State to overcome a 12 point lead in the last 10 minutes and finally put down an Aggie team that had truly risen to the heights. . . Word of the awful beating the Jayhawkers took in Brewer fieldhouse as the Missouri team tied Oklahoma for the Big Six hunting. . . The home run socks and the two base knocks as the sophomore baseball team ran out its string in the conference race. . .
The Kansas relays and the show that goes along (I could be meaning the "Drunkard" that the K-Club staged so brilliantly about that time). . . All those high school athletes on the track running the big meet, the big meet, and especially that fine meter who eat under the 4:30 notch.
. The anchor duel between Ray Harris and John Munski in the distance medley and how the crowd was yelling for all it was worth as the Kansas ace kept pace for three laps. . It would sure have been a treat for the locals to cop a race. . The way Beefus Bryan soared over the bar at better than 14 feet to set a new record in the pole vault. . The graceful hurdling of Flyin' Freddy Wolcott and Elmer Hackney's powerful shot putting. . Then of course the disappointing mule exhibition put on by Glenn Cunningham and Chuck Fenske.
The big surprise showing Kansas made in the indoor track meet at Columbia when the team placed second. . . And the new mark Bob Stoland set in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 3 and three-fourths inches. . . Another record by Don Bird when he polevaulted 13 feet 7 and one-fourth inches. . . The outdoor meet and how the experts figured that the height of the tape chance to take the title. . . Kansas finally ending up in a tie for fourth in a bunched field.
The enthusiasm with which the student body followed spring football practice as Coach Gwinn Henry began installing his new system. . And the renewal of the same after a summer's vacation. . . The royal sendoff the team got as it embarked for Des Moines and a tussle with the Drake Buildings. . . How Dick Packers tackled the backpackers in his touchdown dash and later missed a chance to be a full-ladged hero when a pass slipped through his fingers in the end zone. . . How Bill Arnold missed the train in Kansas City and crawled on a later bus with Clavelle Holden and the writer. . . Jake Fry's long scoring junit down the west sidelines in the Iowa State game here. . . Reports of how the Kansai rallied from an early deficit in Iowa State by a touchdown. . . The bitterly fought contest at Lincoln, how Miller almost pitched the team into a tie, and Milt Sullivan's tilt with the gate-keepers trying to gain entrance to the stadium.
How game after game the students kept whooping it up for the team, just waiting for a victory that never came. . . The thrilling George Washington game and how that big end of their smashed up Jayhawk players. . . The Missouri homecoming fray and how the Kansas passers outpicked "Pitchin' Paul" Christman. . . Only two wins, but high hopes for next year with a fine coach and dandy material ready to come back.
And back to basketball season again ... A generous sample of what to expect at the Varsity-Fresh game on the eve of the Tiger football clash ... A convincing victory over Oklahoma A. and M in the first
Classy Crews In Conference This Season
- Plenty of Stars Back To Give Big Six Strength; Only Three Losses So Far To Opponents
The flashes basketball teams to represent Big Six schools in a number of years are demonstrating how shoot over non-facility foes.
Last year the Big Six teams lost more non-conference games than they won, but so far this season have won 15 games and lost only 3. Iowa State, Oklahoma, nd Missouri are undefeated, while the other three schools have lost one game apiece.
Iowa State's Cyclones breezed through five non-confidence opponents and now are enjoying a well-rearned rest. Coach Louis Moore's team is crushing Gritti, Morningside, Drake, and Denver. Iowa State Is Hot
The Chelone cagers comprise the highest scoring team in Iowa State history and will be a worthy fee for any team. Leading the scoring have been Gordon Nicholas, all-Big Six center last year; Bob Harris, fiery forward, and Al Budolson, sophomore sensation.
Oklahoma and Missouri, conference co-champions last year, have each played and won two games this winter. The Sooners swamped Southern Methodist and then defeated Arkansas decisively.
Coach Bruce Drake is reviving the "goal guard" novel which "Phon" Allen introduced to the Big Six in 1937. Drake has Hugh Ford, a 6 foot 6 inch junior, playing near the basket on defense and batting for the goal as Al Wellsman did for Kansas. Two 'Bw Scats'列出了
Jimmy McNatt, forward, and Marvin Mesch and Herb Scheffler, guards, provide a brilliant nucleus for the Sooner quintet. All are stars in the band, but they will be leading contender for the confernee scoring title this year.
Missouri has victories over St. Louis University and Denver to show for its first two starts. The Tigers will play Washington and St. Louis University at St. Louis' alter this week.
Veterans John Lobigier, Bill Harvey, Haskell Tina, Blain Currence, and Clay Cooper are the stars of the Missouri team this season. Lobigier was an all-Big Sig guard last year and should repeat.
Two Star Sophs
In addition to the above men, Coach George Edwards has other potential stars in Arch Watson, junior forward; Martin Nash, junior forward; Alexey Oshkov, sophomore guard, and Herb Evans, another sophomore guard.
Kansas won two of its first three games, defeating Oklahoma A. and M. and Southern Methodist, while losing to Warrensburg Teachers The Jayhawks have a big handicap to overcome in their lack of height, but will have the smoothest team in the conference.
All of the Jayhawkers are highly capable ball handlers and this smoothness should pay dividends. Experience is plentiful among the Kansas players and with one "giant" on the team, the Jayhawks should be almost unbeatable. Tall Men at Lincoln
Nobraska appears to have all of the big men that Kansas would like to have. One 6 foot 7 giant, Al Ran-da, a dick 6 feet 5 sophomore, and three 6 foot 4 men are included in the Cornhusker squad.
Coach Harold Browne's starting inep includes three of these tall toys. They are Randall, at center and Don Fitz and Sid Held, each 6 feet 4, at guard. The forward slots are being batted for, with two seniors, Pitchetta and Tallman, leading the pack at present.
Coach Jack Gardner has only fair material in his first year as coach at
regular game. . . Losing the heart-breaker at Warrenburg after an overtime period. The Jayhawkers were as frigid as the baskets were righid and the Mules were battling for the pinnacle worth to opener in the new gymnasium. . . The torrid pace the Big Six has been setting in early games. . . Not counting last night's Kansas-SMU, and Oklahoma-Arkansas games, the league has chalked up 15 wins in 18 starts. . . All but Kansas State and Nebraska have gone over the 60-plus average better than that in five games. . . It looks like a great basketball year coming up.
Here on the Hill
Events in the last few months and quizzes in the last few days have cut down on the i.c. (laughter capabilities) of most people. But the wise still cling to a sense of humor as a force of balance in a crazy world. Taking advantage of the opportunity to laugh and relax several hundred students yesterday afternoon attended the All-University Christmas party in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Prot. Allen Crawton gave life and gusto to his role of maser-of-ceremonies.
Jay Janes and Ku-Kus in their white uniforms served doughnuts and hot spice cider to the informally dressed guests, while Allen Crafton gave real $ ^{9}$
Christmas carols were sung during the afternoon with all participating in lusty voice. For variety special numbers were sung by the Men's Glee club and the Modern choir. Folk dancing, as practiced in the "good old days" was demonstrated by eight dancers from the physical education department.
By the conclusion of the afternoon everyone was in a holiday mood and looking forward to the 12.30 closing hours decreed for last evening.
