Missouri Plays Here Thursday
Tigers Are Expected To Give Hawkjawers Terrific Battle; Prall and Schmidt in Finale
The Jayhawks end their season against Missouri here Thursday night in the ninety-eighth game of the long basketball rivalry between two schools. The contest is expected to be the standard set in previous years.
At Columbia earlier in the season the two teams played a sizzling game which Kansas finally won 37-32. Missouri trailed by only two points, 19-21, at the half, and throughout the game the field house was a bedlam of noise and excitement.
Harvey Is Tiger Threat
In Bill Harvey, sophomore for-
ward, the Tigers have a high scourne
of real merit. Although only about
one percent of the class follow-in
man and a good floor man.
Harvey's teammates include three sophomores and one junior, Hal Halstead and John Lobsier, guards and Blaine Currence, 6-foot-5 inch forward, are the sophomores, while Rachel Currence, 6-foot-5 inch center, is the junior.
Outstanding reserves include Clay Cooper and Harlan Keiser, forward;s; Haskell Tison, 6-foot-7 center; and Jack Ettinger, guard Tison scored 16 points in the bitterly fought game between Missouri and Oklahoma at Norman which the Sooners won, 41-39.
Praile and Schmidt's Last Game
Fred Praite, one of the great guards in Kansas basketball history, and Sylvester Schmidt, “quarterback” of the team, will finish their collegiate careers against the university they are the only seniors on the squad.
Interest in the game is reflected in the ticket sale, which is the best advance sale yet this season. A fine crowd should be on hand to witness championship performance of another championship off turnered out by Dr. F. C. Allen.
Prale is completing his third year as an all-Big Six guard, and he has played all-American basketball this season. A brilliant long shot, Prale also has scored many points by driving hard for setups. Following the close of the collegiate basketball season he will play with the Healy Motors team of Kansas City in the National AA.U. tournament.
Along the Sideline
Elon Torrence
Kansas Sports Editor
The first of the crop of all-Bi-Six teams comes to our notice via Gene Kemper in the TopeKa Daily Capital. The team was picked by Bus Ham of the Oklahoma City Oklahoman. He honors two Jayhawkers on his selection, Fred Pralle, who made practically every one-conferrent joke for junior years, and George Golay lanky junior forward. Prale is placed at a guard position, while Golay is put at the center post.
Two Alabama "Boy Scats," MeNatt, regular Sooner forward, and Mesch, who regularly plays at guard, were given the forward births. Both are sophomores. Rounding out the team is Bud Parsons, senior Cornshurk guard who was an all-Big Sixer last season. The team is a well-rounded, versatile quintet, with plenty of scoring power and a pleas of defiance power. As in all selections of all-star teams, that attempt to boil down the number of excellent player competing in the Big Six to a team of five, several have to be over looked.
Among these are Bolah Blakhn, Iowa State guard, who is leading the loop scoring and will end on top unless Pralle Scores at least 20 points against Missouri. Another left out in the cold is Bill Martin, steady senior Oklahoma guard, Martin, in our opinion, has been the guiding force of a rather young and inexperienced Sooner team, and a d much credit is due him. But as there just isn't room for everybody on the team, we say that Ham has done a pretty good job.
The selection of the successor to Glenn Pressell should be a popular one. Crayne made a splendid record as a player at Iowa, and later with the Brooklyn Dodgers. His forte was blocking, paving the way for Ozzie Simmons' long runs in college, and the way for the other members of the backfield of the Dodgers.
This ability should be of the greatest value next year in develop

ing a backfield here that will really block. With the improvement that may be expected in the backfield blocking, the Jayhawker backfield should go places next year. If they have the blocking, Amerine, Miller, Sugee, Bukaty, and Reploge should go to town—especially with the passing of Miller and Sugee to open up the opponent's defense.
Yet it cannot be said that picking a backfield combination *that* will work together next year will be an easy job. Each one of the four positions in the backfield calls for a player, and where one man might fit in another would not do at all. One man may fit most of the requirements for a particular post, and be lacking in just one requirement that will give the call to another back. For instance, the *left hand* is required to carry the ball, pass, and kick. In addition he must be able to do his part on defense.
Suppose a player is just a whiz of a ball carrier and is put in the left hallback spot. If he cannot pass and kick, the defense will close in every time he is back and will smother his attempts to carry the ball. If this ball carrier is not an exceptional blocker, that position is the only one he will fit into, no matter what system is used by the coach. If the player is weak on defense, he will fail to fit in anywhere.
And so one for the other positions. After filling each spot with men especially qualified to take care of that post, time must be spent in developing the timing and coordination that makes the difference between a backfield that is poor, though it may be composed of individual stars, and a breechfield that is great. Then if in mid season a player gets hurt, it might be difficult to explain with the qualifications to fill the position. Too, the timing will be shot—and there you are, or rather there the coach is—for he is the man who takes the blame. Faced with such possibilities and problems, it is no wonder that coaches turn grey.
A greatly improved Jayhawker cinder squad will take the field against conference rivals Friday and Saturday nights in Brewer field house at Columbia in the Big Six indoor meet.
The Kansans have a much brighter outlook for the conference meet this year than they have had for several seasons. The M. Oread men, despite two bad breaks, gave the Tiger tracksters a battle last Saturday night and sounded warning that they are surpassing previous indoor showings. Never before in the past has spirit run so high among team members as it has since the dual encounter at Columbia.
Captain Harry Wiles, veteran quarter-miler, received a severe spike wound on the first curve of the 440-yard dash. In spite of the accident Wiles led all the way to the final stretch before he faded.

Wiles Receives Spike Wound
Two years ago Wilies was spiked in the same race on the same track on the same curve and in the same foot. This mishap alone probably killed Bill Clark, a margin. Bill Clark, Kansas burdler, was disqualified after jumping the gun twice in the 60-yard low hurdle. This further han-
Don Bird, who will defend his conference in i d o o r championship in the pole vault Saturday, set a record in t he Missouri dual meet with a vault of 13 feet 3 inch. In addition to another title bird will be showcased in a new record Sate-den in pole vault third in the high jump last week.
Marvin Cox won the high jump for Kansas against the Tigers with a leap of 6 feet 2 inches. He should have run in this event in the conference meet.
Kansas Takes 60-Yard Dash
Another Jayhawk victory at Columbia was in the 60-yard dash. Lyle Foy, junior dash man, captured that event in 6.4 in a finish which saw all six sixen finish within a yard or so of each other. Foy also won second place in the 60-yard low hurdles.
Ernest Klann, half-pint Kansas distance aise who starred in the Missouri clash, will resume his brilliant performances this week. Klann pushed Munski all the way in the record-breaking mile run and came back strong in the half mile to lead Kansas and second in the third place winners, to the tape to tie the meet record for the event.
Chester Friedland, Jayhawk shot putter, has been improving and may be depended upon to place. He put

It appears that the Jayhawker won't be able to hope for relief from the Boy Seats of Oklahoma next year via the flunk-out route. A stated by a feature in the Oklahoma Daily, not of the first 11 men or the Sooner team flanked a single hour, and good grades were made; most of them. They were led by their veterans. Managed an increased 47 hours of "A" and 42 hours of "B". However, the don't have a Schmidt, who scorns anything lower than a "B" grade.
All was not on the surface in the Nebraska game, and Don Ehling's statement that he never played against a team that was "trying any harder" had put behind it. Reasonable doubt remained that Floyd Ehaugh's brother had died, Coach W. H. Browne informed all of his soldiers except Ehaugh himself of the death, and they went into the game determined to win for the lanky center. It was a fine spirit that was driving the Nebraska team nightly, and we can almost wish they had succeeded in their attempt.
Forty Check Out Grid Togs on First Day
Approximately forty men checked out equipment yesterday for spring football practice, with many more scheduled to report before the week is over.
The Indiana University swimming team has an extra drawing card when it schedules a home meet. Little Pete Reason, 4 feet short, 77-pounds light, and 8 years young, pushes on an exhibition of diving at the Olympic Games. The dives performed by the collegiate contestants. His father is his coach and informs reporters that his son began swimming at the age of 3, and that he likes to perform for a crowd better than alone. The Indiana Daily Student is predicting Olympic hybrids to be invited to a race.
21 olympic honors for the young drivers and spectators are inclined to agree
Coach Ad Lindsey said that practice would start today with limbing-up and general conditioning exercises. He also said that scrimmage action, soon as the men were in condition, should be in about a week.
Dick Crayn, newly appointed backfield coach, arrived in town yesterday and will be ready to start training backfield candidates immediately.
