The 1936 Cage Squad Has Perfect Year
Kansas Crashes Through Tough 20-Game Schedule With Undefeated Record
Sweeping all twenty games of its tough schedule, undefeated in Big Six conference play and losing only to Utah Aggies in the Olympic playoffs, the 1935-'36 Jayhawker basketball team has been pronounced by many the greatest team ever turned out by Dr. F. C. Allen, in his 29 years of coaching.
Famous for its "five iron men" the Jayhawks racked up victories over such teams as Wash.
burn, Oklahoma Aggies, Baker,
Southern California, California
U. and Ottawa in addition to
administering two defeats to
each of its conference foes.
The only blot on the record was a 2 out of 3 game defeat by the towering Utah "Aim" who whipped a crippled Jacksonhand in the Olympic playoffs in old Convention history. He later after the Allenen had captured the first contest in an overtime. Kapnellman's Injury Costly
Utah's backbone advantage and great stamina were largely responsible for victory, but the fact that Ferguson fought with the bench
during both losses due to a severe leg injury suffered in the opening frames and that Ray Noble was not able to go the route in the final game because of a knee injury were probably the primary fcts to a loss in this historical playoff.
KAPPLEMAN
The startling lineup was composed of Ray Ehlking and Ray Nobile, forward;s; "Mi" Allen, center and quarterback, and Fred Pralle and Francis Kappelman at guards. This team probably could have laced any other five men from one school in the country, but failed to click effectively when the combination was broken up.
When it came to picking an all-Conference team at the end of the year, Doctor Allen startled fellow coaches and sports writers alike when he announced that his starting Kansas lineup would be the best all-Big Six team that anyone could pick. Things didn't quite come out that way, however, and only Ebling, Pralle, and Kappelman earned first
FRED PRALLE
Allen at center was regarded by many as the best ball handler in
string berths while Noble and Allen gained second team positions. In addition Ebling crashed the first string All- American team and captured the conference scoring title for the third consecutive year, counting 14.1 points per conference game.
Ebling Was a "Smoothie"
Eilring was certainly one of the greatest if not the greatest forward who ever performed in the red and blue of Kansas. His peculiar underhanded "sooop shot" baffled all guards and he showed amazing versatility in addition to his scoring ability. He also forced a face-gained All-Big Six first team the following year at guard and was one of the best all-around players that ever dribbed on the Jayhawk hardwoods.
the Midwest and also held up well in the scoring column. Prille, then only a sophomore, has taken his place as the greatest of all K. U. guard. This rang sential even in 35 and 36 could be among these long ones from far out and
rebound with the best of them. His final two years of course were even better and he rated a first string All-American beth last year. Kupelman was one of the best and one of the most consistent gauders ever to perform in the Big Six. He was a good shot and the defensive parkling of the team.
**ubs Come Through**
Supplementing the starting five it times and coming through in the "clutch" more than once were Paul Rogers, junior forward, Wilmore "Bub" Shaffer, junior forward and center, and Roy Holliday, junior center. Shaffer personally a c-counted for the Baker game by bagging a follow-in shot just before the whistle to give Kansas a 34-32 victory. Rogers sunk the two free throws that clinched victory for the "Hawks" in the overtime skirmish of the initial Utah game.
Doctor Allen says he wishes to give a lot of credit to the Jay Janes, women's ppg organization, for KU's victory over Baker. "It was their enthusiasm and determination that Boys boys the victory," he explained.
Among the records that this great crew established were: First undefeated record of any Big Six team, team scoring record of 42.2 points per game, best free throw record in Bid St. 68 per cent, and best defense record of any Big Six team, 26.8 points per game.
The only other undefeated Kansas team was the 1923 crowd which breezed through all Missouri Valley opposition with ease. The members of that team were Fla. Enid Moore, Danny Patterson, man, Waldo Brown, John Wolfe, Adolph Rupp, and "Andy" McDonald.
ibels on Chautauqua Circuit
Edwin F. Abels, now state representative from Douglas county and sentitive from Douglas county and Republican, was traveling with a chaucapta company during the summer of 1913. "He is now able to hold his own with any debater," ran the Kansan comment.
Present Friday and Saturday night 12:30 closing hours for women were established in the fall of 1631 in order "to make W.S.G.A. rules conform to the rules of the family home, and to encourage men to have their dates at the houses instead of being on the streets."

K-Club Paddles No More Frosh
- Puts on 'The Drunkard'
To Promote Better Athletics on Mt. Oread
The K-Club at the University of Kansas is figuratively the athlete's fraternity. It first strives to keep its "own house in order" by watching over and taking care of its members. Athletic teams are honored after their various seasons and dances are given at frequent intervals to offer social activities and allow participants of the various sports to become better acquainted.
In 1888 the first group of "K" men met for an "informal" social gathering that the organization became a club. It boasted then of a membership of approximately 30 members and today there are around 85 lettermen on the campus that are affiliated with this group.
With the club's original ideal in mind to promote better athletics at M. Oread the present crop of members have striven to fulfill this ambition. The group of athletes are not content to see only promotional work that insures recent day betirement of the athletic situation but also their own "the 'Utopian' has been reached and the Jayhawks can stand at the top of the Big Six conference in all of the various sports.
This year more than 1200 students witnessed the K-Club production, "The Drunkard" which was acclaimed as outstanding dramatic presentations.
The future freshman at the University need never again to fear the "raw bone" giant holding the bludgeon over him to instil the so-called "school spirit". Coercion and force are no longer used to enforce the young neophyte to follow certain rules, but they have become more "modernized" to the extent that so many other organizations have "seen the light" and realize that understanding does not always follow as a direct sequel from a severe paddling. The interpretation of customs that have proven themselves useful and understandable will also be helpful in Assisting and helping the fresh rather than hazing and paddling have become the modernizing techniques of the Kansas University lettermen.
Fencing, Badminton To Sports Front
Fening and bidiminton are two minor sorts which are rapidly coming into prominence in the United States and particularly at the University. Rich are fairly old sports in Europe where they had their origins.
The art of fencing is the older of the two dating back 400 years to Germany where it has always been very popular particularly in the counties countrys took up the art and seen international rules were adopted.
A fencing club at the University has been organized for several years with competitive duelling and it puts on exhibitions before various events. Dr. Ralith goes the credit of first bring the art to Kansas.
The other sport, basketball, is the predecessor to lawn tennis played with a shuttlecock instead of a ball. The University offers a course in the sport, which may be played either by singles or doubles.
