Oklahoma Is Object For Revenge
Allen Plans T o Return
Humilizing Experience
Suffered Here in First
Big Six Game
By Carl Lundquist
(*United Press Staff Correspondent*)
Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 15, (UPC-
Oklahomaans may get a Kansas duse
storm in their eyes and a Kansas
basketball team in their hair nex
Friday night, if the best laid plans
of the north wind and Dr. Forrest C.
Ailen do not go awry.
The Kansas coach will bring a basketball team to Norman that is bent on revenge. Oklahoma's goal-raising Sooners upset the Jayhawkers in the first game of the season and Doctor Allen's team is concentrating on the humiliating experience. Both teams are placed, place both are eyeing the title, and both realize that nearly everything depends on this one crucial game.
Oklahoma Coach Encouraged
All that Hugh McDermott, the Oklahoma coach, has to worry about a Kansas team that seems to get better with every game, a lack of reserve strength, fear that his speedsters will start missing their shots as they did in the Nebraska game, and the fact that a game is scheduled with Oklahoma A. & M. two nights before Kansas arrives.
McDermott received some encouragement over the manner in which his youngsters came back to defeat Kansas State after the loss to Nebraska. Jimmy McNatt recovered his sights for the basket and the rest of the team responded after what apparently had been an off night. He also has been cheered by the performance of two new squadmen, Clarence Benton and Clifton Speele, sophomores who moved in at the semester and who have added to his meager reserve strength.
Nebraska Definitely 'Out'
Kansas elled out a triumph over a Kansas State five that finally hit the stride that had been expected of it in pre-season reckonings. The Jaihawk squad has depended chiefly upon Fred Praille, Sylvester Schmidt and Don Ehling to lead the way, but no team has come around consistency to achieve the record of 14 triumps in 16 games for the entire season.
Nebraska, jinxed by Missouri, and only mediocre in other games, lost its last chance to stay in the race when Missouri won its second game from the Cornhuskers. The preseason favorites defeated lowly Iowa State Monday night, but may have considerable trouble against Loyola in a non-conference game Saturday.
Missouri Still Dangerous
Missouri, on the other hand, is a still foe to be reckoned with and may be a big factor in determining the final status of the race. The Tigers have two games with Oklahoma and one with Kansas. The game with Kansas State Saturday has prospects of being a battle.
Standings of the Teams
Kansas Sate hit the basket with the best consistency of the year in roping on Iowa State, and did not look the part of the last-place role it is playing. Iowa State, however, is at best an in-and-out team and has little chance of winning in its three remaining games, despite a strong sophomore squad which lends great promise for future years.

Flash: Fred Pralle, stellar Jayhawk guard, with all-Big Six honors apparently cinched for the third consecutive year, will play, or at least is planning to play, with one of the Missouri Valley A.A.U. teams in the national A.A.U. tournament to be played in Denver the latter part of March. While we have no doubt that Pralle will show to a good advantage at the tournament, still it will problemate. We have a good chance of Fred Sig Six baseball competition. Pralle was being counted upon heavily to take care of third-base duties, a post he held down on the Jayhawk nine last year, and the position at which he starred during the summer in Ban 'obson play.
Note to those competing in intramural basketball: When you get out there on the court and run up and down it a few times and think you are worn out, you are largely kidding yourself, or so tests being conducted by Ed Elbem seem to indicate. Elbel, in working on his doctor's thesis, has worked out a number of tests determining the speed and accuracy of a person's co-ordination and reactions. After a number of tests upon examination before and after vorsons and lengthy exercise, the results have almost invariably shown that the individual's co-ordination was better and his reactions switer after exercise than they were before. (Is it clear?)
Elbel has tested members of the freshman basketball squad before practice and again after an hour or two of hard scriumption, with the results shown above. He has also taken those playing on intramural sports in a new league to tests before they played a game and then again after the game was over.

In all but two times out of several tests the results have shown improvement after exercise.
An interesting variation of the experiments has been for a person to do some individual exercises, such as "pushups" — in successively increasing length; i.e., first 10, and take the tests; then 20, and the tests, etc. One person did this until he left the room, and "pumped" at one time, and this individual "swoe his arms were too tired to move"—but he did better on the tests then than at any time previously in working up to the 40.
So, as we have said, when you think you are tired, it is probably largely a matter of mind.
At any rate Elibel's experiments have led him to some interesting conclusions. One deduction is that many more athletes are injured in competition from lack of proper "warming-up" than are ever hurt from overdoing in competition. Another is that the sub being sent into a game is probably much less efficient than the player whose place he is taking.
Cunningham Wins Another
Leads a Classy F i e l d Home in the Excellent Time of 4:14.8
Glenn Cunningham, the Kansas mile king, still refusing to abdicate his crown, won another victory last night over a classy field in the Bishop Keogh mile at Providence, R. in the time of 4 minutes, 148 seconds. Gene Venkee was second, Don Lash, third, Archie San Romani, fourth, and Joe McCluskey was last in a field of five.
The race was run in a smoke-filled hall before a crowd of frozened, cheering fans, who watched the barrel-chested Kansan run in last place for the first quarter and gradually work up to the second position from which he stepped out into the lead on the last of the 11 laps.
The first quarter was run in the fast time of 61.2 seconds with McCluskey leading. The time on the half was 2 minutes and 6 seconds with Lash out in front. Vonkze had an 11.4 second quarter and was clocked in 3 minutes and 13 seconds at the three-quarter mark.
The next race for the tireless mile champion will be in the well-known Baxter mile to be run in Madison Square Garden Saturday night.
In the last quarter, Cunningham moved up into second place, following the flying heels of the former Pennsylvania star, and moved around him on the bell lap to come down the stretch the winner.
Stranathan Addresses Chemistry Club Tomorrow Afternoon
Dr. J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, will speak on "Methods of Determining the Avogadro Number" at a meeting of the Chemistry club Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in room 201, Chemistry building.
What's Doing in Sports At Other Schools By Newt Hoverstock
In a recent swimming exhibition and water show at the University of Texas, the Longhorn tankers broke five standing records. Ralph Flanagan, twice an Olympic swimmer and a member of the frosh team, broke Johnny Weissmuller's record in the 200-yard free-style, but fell slightly short of his 220-yard mark. He swam the 200-yard event in minute 81.1 seconds to break. Weissmuller's mark of 1 minute, 54.4 seconds. Mrs. Elsie Jane Allison, A.A.U., official was one of the timekeepers, and there will be an attempt to make the results of the meet official and get recognition for new records.
The University of Oklahoma is getting into big competition next season. The Sooners have obtained permission from the Big Six to play a post-season football game at Norwalk and the team to team up on Dec. 3. Washington State is a member of the Pacific Coast conference.
Somebody in Oklahoma besides the Sooners can also be of a 50-point pace for a basketball team. The Northwestern State Teachers College of Alva, Okla., in first place in the Oklahoma Collegiate Conference, beat Northeastern and the Oklahoma Baptists in successive nights with scores of 59-39 and 55-36 respectively.
The University of Wisconsin Men's Union Board is praying for snow in order that its planned snow week will not be somewhat upset. Plans are set for skiing, skating, races of all sorts including running, a fashion show for winter, etc.; but, at present, all the University skies can produce is a light drizzle in the form of ruin.
The Oklahoma Daily, in a writet just before the Sooners entrained or nebraska, stated, "Oklahoma's 50-point team has team sued a merry turtle all over the western plains." After Wednesday night's 42 points gathered for a loss to Nebraska, we watched a win by twinkle-toke seat boys are trilling now. (Ed's note: Wonder if it isn't "The Broken Record?")
