Kansas Meets Longhorns In Series Opener Tonight
Two Games With S. M. U. Begin Mondau
- Four Tilts in Five Days For Jayhawks; To Scout Sooners Against Arkansas Next Wednesday
Jumping from Dallas to Austin by rail this morning, the Kansas basketball brigade completes the last lap of its journey before meeting the Texas Longhorns tonight in the first of a two-game stand. The 13 cagers left Lawrence yesterday morning and practiced in Oklahoma City yesterday afternoon before continuing on to Dallas.
Tomorrow night the Jayhawks wind up the Texas series and head back to Dallas for games Monday and Tuesday night with Southern Methodist University.
Couch Jack Gray's steers have been running up 40 and 50 point scores against three early season opponents, so it looks as if the Kansans so-far potent defense will get a set of battles during the two games in Austin.
Granville a Hot-Shot
One of the most impressive of the Texas courant is big Chester Granville, a sophomore forward from Austin high school who garnered 18 points during the 18 minutes he played against the San Marcos Bobcats. He didn't miss a shot from the floor during his visit in the milling. He had more than 95 better than 190 pounds. He will very likely be one of the starters tonight, even though this is his first season of university competition.
Another sophomore who may crack the starting five is Thurman Hull, six-footer from John Harleen whose nifty bait handling and handling skills make him enable him to shove Eimer Finny, letterman, onto the bench.
Hull is one of several John Tarleton stars who decided to complete their education at the state university. It was this same group of lads on the last of Tarleton junior college's long $8 game winning streak.
215 Pound Center
Wee Willie Tate, the Longhorns 215-pound, six-foot-three captain, is a certain at center, and the guards will be two junior lettermen, Oran Spears and "Bounding Bobby" Moers.
The Jawhawk offense was beginning to click during practices preceding their departure for Texas, and if they don't loose their basket eyes on the face of the team should be able to give the high-guard Steera a battle.
Those who are likely to get the opening call from Dr. F. C. Allen are Bruce Reid and Howard Engleman, forwards; Bobby Allen, center; and Dick Harp and Lyman Corlis, guards.
To Practice in Norman

UNDER the WIRE By MILT MEIER
Ah, my last column of the year. bet you are glad, but I really had planned on making this a masterpiece . . . trouble is that there were too many quizzes to cram for . . . all week I have been busier than Jack Benny trying to play the "Flight" game. My friend was wrong and just as wrong . . . anyway MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all . . .
Congratulations to Les Kappelman for just about the swellest sports article that has ever appeared in the Jayhawk . . . it is a wow. . . Add skyscrapers: Winfield High has the tallest highest of basketball ranks right at the top when it comes to deciding who will win the state championship . . . incidentally, the Tuckers keep right on coming . . .
Gerald is the brother of Lloyd Tucker, hotshot forward on the South Carolina team . . . he stands forward himself on the high school team . . . oh yes, I almost forgot to tell you . . . the Winfieldier average 6 foot 3 inches . . .
In addition to Winfield, Wyandotte,
Coffeyville and Newton will make a
strong bid for the state title . What is
this about Ralph Conger going to
some central Kansas league high
school team as coach next year? . . .
Ernie Vanek, former Crimson and
蓝篮球star, is prepping
Herington High for a strenuous
basketball campaign this year . . .
Is there any truth to the rumor that
Engleman was reported to be ineligible for the Texas game? . . .
and in the University of Texas school
media while much more successful
the sophomore flash is way up there
in his grades.
The Big Six will have two 6 foot 17 inch centers this year . . . Tissi Missouri and Randall, Nebraska, are the long boys . . . Randall is only a sophomore . . . shades of Al Wellhausen! . . just hope that those boys can't keep that ball out of the basket as good as Al did . . .
Say it isn't so: Rumors have the Jayhawkers without a swimming team this year . . . with boxing and wrestling already on the shelf, the reported move wouldn't give Kansas a very representative minor championship. The team finished last in Big Six competitors last year . . .
Oklahoma faces a stiff test against Colorado tomorrow night and Saturday . . . former Jayhawker "Frosty" Cox has a plenty salty club again this year in the Rocky Mount-
with Southern Methodist next Tuesday night, it will head back for Oklahoma City, go over to Norman for a practice on Oklahoma U's court, and stay over that evening for the Sooners opening game of the season against Arkansas. The cages will go back to the state capital for the night and return to Norman for a Thursday morning drill before leaving for their respective homes.
Sound math?
And once again it is our pleasure to
"vociferate"---
CARL'S SAY -ain district . . . Coach Cox admits his team may even be better than it was last year when it was a runner-up to Notre Dame in the tournament at New York City . . .
Squad members will be back on the Hall Dec. 28 to resume the grind of getting ready for the game here in Morgantown and the tough Six race ahead.

Missouri Cagers Aim For Title
By Carl Lundquist

Kansas City, Mo., December 15.—UCP
—The University of Missouri's veteran basketball team isn't concerned about getting lost in the lower half of the Big Six conference standings this season. With a gymnasium full of juniors and seniors who played in almost every game last year,
Coach George Edwards is aiming for a championship and he may connect.
"We have lettermen at every po-
Add records: The University of Colorado never has lost a basketball game in its new fieldhouse during the three years games have been played there . . . nice going "Frosty" . . . Approximately 65 track men are reporting to Ward Hailley for workouts . . . Looks like the Central conference basketball race is going to be plentiful tough . . . Hays and Southwestern both here in Kansas State . . . addition, Southwestern and Pittsburgh have batten Warensburg, and just as easily as the Jayhawkers did . . . Emporia Teachers expected to be "class" this year, still is to be heard from . . .
from that army of Notre Dame grenadier that trounced Kansas 52 to 0, only 28 will receive "regular" monograms . . . but 22 more will receive "reserve" monograms . . . all are required by graduation or 12 "regulars" will graduate, including all-American Earl Brown and Ed Longhi. . .

sition and in practice thus far the squad has been far ahead of last year," he said. "The boys are showing a lot of promise and although we may not improve as much as our green team of a year ago, I think we will win our share of the games." Edwards will send five first stringers from last year to the floor at Columbia on Saturday night when Missouri opens against the St. Louis University billikens.
ball and he is canny enough on defense to be dangerous whenever the opposition has it.
Key man on the squad is capt. John Lobbs, junior guard who was one of the sophomore stand-outs of the Middle West last season. Lobbs is the best browd man on the team and has the stamina to play throughout an entire game. He is six feet, two inches tall and fast enough to break in for under the goal shots.
Hal Halstead, one of the few seni-
rons on the team, rates the other
starting guard post. Halstead is aca-
cid. If he had been the beige danger whenever he has the
At center, Missouri has two of the tallest players to compete in the conference in several seasons. Haskell Tison, a six-foot, seven-and-a-half inch junior and Blaine one stands five feet, six inches. Tison with either hand and will be the starter, although Currence has
starter, although Currence has shown equal ability.
Edwards has three lettermert forwards, Harlam Kiersey, William Harvey, and Clay Cooper. All were consistent scorers last season, Harvey and Keirsey, both seniors, ranking among the inestates. They will stinters, with Cooper, a junior, first on the reserve list.
Others on the first squair are Martin Nash and Truman Jorgensen and Arch Watson, sophomores for wards; and Jack McCluney, sophomore center. Eugene Breedhoeff, the eighth letterman thus far has not gone out for basketball and will not unless Edwards needs him to replace sick or injured regulars. Breedhoeff is making up several hours of extra credit and said he would not spare the time for basketball.
The Tigers will play eighteen games, the same number as during last season when they won nine and lost nine. In the conference with Nebraska in a tie for third place with Nebraska, winning four and losing six.
Missouri plays Wyoming at Columbia next Tuesday and a return game against St. Louis at St. Louis on next Wednesday. The Tigers will remain there to play Washington on Thursday, then will disband for the holiday season. On Jan. 5, they will open a western trip at Greeley, Colo., against Colorado Teachers. The following night they will play Wyoming at Laramie, returning to Columbia to open the Big Six season against Oklahoma on Jan. 14.
