Nation's Basketball Class To Meet At Stillwater
★This Week End's Games Bring Together Two Leading Coaches of the Land and Their Perennial Championship Teams; Jayhawkers Have Ne ver Tasted Defeat From the Oklahoma Quintet
There is going to be more basket-ball class in Stillwater this weekend than you can shake a stick at, if that is your idea of fun.
Allen Leading Coach
Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. champions last year of two great cage conferences and led by two of the finest tutors in the business, meet there Friday and Saturday nights. Just as if the games will be too good for an ordinary gymnasium, the Aggies have a brand spankin' new field house waiting for the occasion.
Dr. F. C. Allen, of the Jayhawkers,
is generally conceded to be the most
able basketball professor in the
game today, and his host will
be Henry Iba, one of the finest young
coaches in the country.
Iba made his big splurge at Marysville Teachers where he won 42 straight games before meeting defeat. One of his great Bearcat machines went to the finals of the National A.A.U. tourney, finally being nosed out by the Wichita Henrys.
"Jumping Jack" McCracken, one of the game's greatest stars, was developed by Iba, first at Classeh high in Oklahoma City and then through his four years at Marysville. Two previous to taking the basket, he took a shot with the Sooner prep school, and when he left, McCracken went along.
“Handsome Henry,” as he is some times called, coached for a couple o years at Colorado university after leaving the Bearcats, and then went to Stillwater. His first year in the University of Colorado, the season the Cowbucks took second place, and the last two years has seen them on top the heap.
Jayhawks Perennial Champs-
The Jayhawkers, perennial soreue of the Big Six conference, swept through a 20-game slate last year with only two defeats. The Cowboys, tackling a longer, if not stiff schedule, won 25 games and lost only three in winning their second straight Missouri Valley crown.
The teams have not met in a regularly scheduled game since 1931, but during the spring of 2018 they won 88 ruller in the final of the Kansas City elimination.
UNDER the WIRE By MILT MEIER
Looks like the scores of the Jay-hawker-Oklahoma Aggie games this weekend will be some more of those football's scores. . . both teams are playing defense at home games should be close fights if the Aggies can concentrate on the Jay-hawkers and not on how nice the new field house is. . . wonder what the fans are going to be the most excited for or two championship basketball teams with nationally famous coaches. . .
Since I picked Southern Cal to beat Duke in the Rose Bowl, I have been reminded several times that Wallace Wade's teams never have lost a Rose Bowl engagement. .this is Coach Wade's fourth trip west, incidentally, so the "third time is the charm" axiom already has been
tournament to see who would represent the Valley in the Olympic try-outs. In the seven games played between these teams, Kansas has not defeated.
Nomination for an all-American publicity man: Joe C. Scott, Oklahoma A. and M. athletic council member who made the classic "bulls and coaches" remark. he has got the college more press notice on his remark than the football team could earn year all.
Note to Don Ebling and Dick Harp: Be sure and eat your wheaties for breakfast when you play Oklahoma A. and M. . sports editor Joe Mayfield, of the Daily O'Collegian reports that the Cowbirds are going to give you the "eagle" eye. Golay, Engleman, Corliss, et al., probably will have the Aggies stymied before the evening is over if Joe is right.
Despite K-State's loss to Southwestern in their cage eager, Coach Frank Root says he is pleased with the boys' performance. . . Southwestern has one of the stronger teams in Kansas and other college circles. . . the three brothers Tucker and company will "tucker" out many of their opponents before the season is over. . .
The game will die the Aggies new $400,000 field house, which is rated as one of the finest athletic plants in the country.

"We are stressing two important points this week," said Dr. F. C. Allen. "I am calling this 'academic week' because we are stressing to the boys the fact that grades are most important and everybody on the Kansas basketball squads must have a "C" grade average in the college office."
Only one injury is hindering the Freshman soar so far this year. Bob O'Neil, guard, has a bad ankle which is believed to be only sprained. He injured his ankle in the Varsity-Fresh game and re-injured it last Saturday night in the first half of the Alumni-Fresh titl
Secondly, Dr. Allen related that he was showing the young Jayhawkers the fundamentals of basketball. He has been spending the past week demonstrating the slide dribble and the pivot. The Freshman group of players that need experience and age," cited Doctor Allen.

Why pro football teams are so tough: The New York Giants, winners of the eastern professional division, have a line that averages 215 plus pounds, *from end to end* there. The right side of the right weight of the group is the right end—the only weighs 200 . . . the other six weighs 215 or over. all the linenes are six-footers or more. too. One of my more reliable intramural basketball experts says that the A. K. Pet's will be getting the Galloping Ghosts for the intramural championship this season to three. To do that Kansas would go through the Big Six schedule undefeated. . . a lot of things can happen between now and March, laddie. . .

It was good news to hear that Ralph Miller is not permanently out of all sports. . . the Miller and Engleman combination still may cause opponents many headaches. Bruce Voran, sophomore eagle, may get a starting call in this week's games. Bob Allen seems destined to become a greater player than was brother Randal Red. He is one of the long line of Ark City Jayhawker basketball stars. A shot in the dark says the Jayhawkers and Oklahoma Aggies will split their games this week end. . .
Three Jayhawker regulators on this year's football eleven were picked by the Missouri gridmen on their all-opponent teams for the season just closed. Ferrell Anderson, guard; Dave Shirek, end; and Bill Bunsen fullback, were given places in the balloting of 21 Missouri players.

"Ol 'Andy' garnered all but four votes to land a first berth position, while Dave Shirk was nosed out at first team end by Shirk of Oklahoma. Bunsen was given honorable mention.
The Galloping Dominoes II ran roughshod over the Campus Raiders last night in scoring a 33 to 8 victory. Hepner hit six baskets from the field to take scoring honors, while his teammates Deiner and Tweed accounted for nine and eight points each respectively. Strahmeyer and Torrence scored 4 points each for the Campus Raiders.

Two games are on schedule for tonight at 10 o'clock, which include Hellbounds vs. Rock Chalk on the basketball court and Haxegons vs. Hexagons on the west court.
The playgrounds, which lay to the south of the towering protection of Mount Ordea, are indeed backed by a very colorful history of successive warfare. It was 17 years ago, back in 1921, that the story begins to unwind.
Dr. Allen, who came to the University in 1919 as director of athletics, first saw the need for a recreation field. Up to this time the only place for physical education was Robinson gymnasium. Through his efforts, Dr. Allen persuaded the athletic department to build acres of land south of the Hill, J. W. Gowns, the owner, sold the piece of property for $13,000.
At first this tread was turned over to the variety for a much needed practice field. It was in the same year that the Memorial Stadium–Hampton Avenue. It is an innery. For the next few years, until 1936, the would-be intramural field
Even University students must have their play. At least that is the opinion that was manifested when, through the combined efforts of Dr. F. C. Allen, of the department of physical education, and the entire student body, an intramural playing field was planned and engineered. Allen Playgrounds, as they are known, provide a vacation for University students, all of whom should have some form of physical exercise.

Intramural Field Finished After Uphill Struggle
Haskell Institute opens its basketball schedule on its home court against the Kansas City, Kan., Junior College Blue Devils Saturday night. The Juo team is coached by Ed Ash, former Jayhawker star, who has a strong team in the making this season.
A potential winning team is being molded around three stars from last year's quitter at Haskell and a close game is expected when the two teams meet Saturday night. Inning the season's opener, the Indiana invade Haskell from a three-game trip, Dec. 13, 14, and
Haskell Opens Season Soon
Three lettermen are expected to carry the brunt of the Haskell attack. Sterling Bigear, high-scoring forward of last year's team, is the team's spark plug and will have the assistance of Lomuel Green and Solan Hill. Several new men are preparing veterans for starting berths.

failed to materialize to anything greater than just another piece of property. During this period several shifts were made in the ownership of land. Since the athletic association was not a corporation they could not legally own the title to the field, so it was deeded to the University Endowment association, which is a corporation.
It was not until 36 that the Board of Regents asked the legislature to purchase the land for the school. The legislature did so, and the future of the intramural field began to brighten. In rapid fire succession Dr. Allen appealed to the Student Activities committee for a $1,200 appropriation to grade the land and prepare it for a glorified playground.
**Fri. F. A." Russell** 0 rfb of the library, drawn up in the plans and surveyed the tract. With the appropriation the playground ceased to become a fantasy but an extraordinary field to be used by the University students. In addition to the grading costs, $300 was invested for fertilizer and other things to further the beauty and prestige of the new project.
The new playground, which formerly had a 20' slope from north to south over a 400 foot stretch, will now have the same slope as the varsity field. Not only will it be a spot of beauty, but it will also tend to reduce the number of accidents received by participating students.

S. A. E., Delta Chi Win Late Intramural Games
The S. A. E quintet disposed of its first obstacle in the intrumbral basketball league by turning back to play for the slurring thrilling night. *Vigilantly, night grip.*
Haitt, Ziegelmeiner, and Burger each contributed five points toward the S. A. E. victory, while Classman rang up seven points for Stigma Chi. Hall played a nice defensive game for S. A. E. and scored three points. In a one sided game which saw Battermann bear the brushing of the attack, Delta Chi turned in its first victory of the season by swapping D. T. D. 32 to 10. Delta Chi got off to an early 'ead what was never threatened.
