Allen Drills Squad Hard In Practice
Jayhawk Coach Not Satisfied With Showing Made by Team in Early-Season Games
Dr. F. C. Allen started preparations yesterday afternoon for the remainder of the non-conference schedule in the hope that his basketters will snap into top form by the time the conference season opens. He and his fellow defeated Dane and Ottawa in their first two games. Allen is far from being satisfied with the form his team has shown.
Fred Pralle, crack guard, seems to be rounding into his old form, but Pralle can't carry the whole load. Sylvester Schmidt has been doing some good passing at the center and not this position in the center position this season in great style.
In the first two games, several reserves, notably Florell, Harp, Sullivan, and Ebling, have been showing good form.
Ebling also looked good in last night's practice, and may see much service this season.
Four Games Next Week
George Golay, lanky forward, has shown offensive possibilities, but still needs a lot of work on defense. Coriolis, Golay's starting mate at forward, has several tricky shots and promises to share in scoring the year. Floreau has been worn in replacement for both of these men.
"Swede" Johnson, Pruelle's running mate at guard, showed up much better in the Ottawa game and threatens to become a star both defensively and offensively. Johnson has been handicapped for injury, but that should be healed by the conference season opens.
One more game is scheduled for this week, with the Jayhawkers playing a return contest at Ottawa tomorrow night. Next week games on four successive nights are scheduled for the Jayhawkers starting Monday. The first three of these games will be played at Iowa and then attended at Topska Thursday night. The home games are with Baker, Southwestern, and Morningside College of Sioux City, Iowa, in that order.
Southwestern Is Strongest
The Kansas team is favored, of course, to win the return game with Ottawa tomorrow night since it so easily defeated the Braves here Tuesday night. Also it will probably enter each of the four games as favorite next week, but none of the contests look easy.
Southwestern appears to be the strongest of the four teams. Fossessed of a world of material, it may become the leading team in the Central conference. Not much is known about Morning side, but last year in a college tournament held in Kansas City they defeated Baker rather easily and went through to the finals. If they have the same team back, they will undoubtedly put up a battle.
Baker, although losing four of her starting five by graduation, has one regular, three lettermen, and some promising freshmen to build a team around. The last two years Baker was one of the strongest teams the Jayhawkers faced, at half-time and another hard-fighting five. Washburn, too, has a strong nucleus to build around to produce a strong team.
Cold Weather Grips Nation
Cold bats from the Canadian prairies swept across the United States Wednesday night, bringing sub-zero temperatures and heavy
More than three-fourths of the country was in the grip of the cold wave. Nearly a score of deaths were attributed to the weather. Rail trailways and other areas around travel was hazardous over thousands of miles of highways.
Only the extreme west and southeast escaped the cold. Snow blanketed virtually the entire northern half of the country and was especially heavy in the fall, from as far south as the Texas panhandle and the Ozarks.
The Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the coastal plains all had snow and unseasonable cold.
The lowest temperature in the country came from Casper, Wyo. where the mercury dipped to 26 below.
Madrid, Dec. 9 — (UCP)—Loyalist anti-tank gun crews were reported tonight by the war office to have blown to blits a squadron of "whipper" tanks which led a surprise rebel attack on positions in the Sierra Nevada mountains southeast of Granada.
Along the Sideline
Elon Torrence
Kansan Sports Editor
The new Kansas uniforms certainly lack nothing in the way of color. Either the white or the red outfits fairly take the spotlight. Personally we have a hard time figuring out just which combination is the most striking. Those pants with their satiny sheen and red lining, for example, on the sides have plenty of that indefinable something called class. One mustn't overlook those white leather shoes with the red laces, either.
Eling's performance Tuesday eight undoubtedly set Kansas fans to thinking of brother Ray's three-year record, and aroused hopes that Don may come up, at least partly, to Ray's standard of 727 points scored in three seasons. Although Don was in the game only 11 minutes, he showed a nice floor game and scored two field goals. It is to be remembered that Ray scored only three goals in his first varsity appearance.
Another sophomore that locked plenty good to us was Loren Flovell. He is built on skyscraper proportions, but he still gets around the floor nicely and his passing was excellent. Florell and Corlis were teammates together in high school at Topeka. It reminds us that back up in the edge of the plains, where we come from, there was a town nearby with a team everybody (around them this team got going) so this team went through season undefeated. Through its record it was given a favored place in the regional tournament. It happened that this team went to the final to meet this Topeka outfit with Cornls and Florell. Up in our part of the state it was thought that Topeka would be taken down a notch or two. At any rate when the smoke of the battle had cleared away. Topeka was resting on by a more seventy-something to twenty-something. If we remember correctly it was Florell and Corlis who spearheaded to leap the slaughter. One member of the twenty-something team now plays for Nebraska. It would be to our liking to see these two Topekans get not as they did once before against a team with this fellow on it.
Now is the hunting season for football coaches. After the song and dance celebration period ending most high school seasons, the colleges get busy, some making contact by means of alumni, others by direct approach of coaches, and the more naive being merely content to send out literature telling about the fine cultural advantages of their respective schools. One back that we know has received several offers is Bill Savoy of Great Bend. He pound his heart over 180 points this past season. In fact his high school coach said that his team would have been broken up during the season by the interference of representatives of various schools if Savoy had not been a remarkable person both in the realm of ego as well as in the realm of the gridiron.
Another back that certainly must have had the schools hounding him is DeCorrevont of Austin H. Chicago, DeCorrevort scored 204 points this season and has a point for his team. December 11, to play yet. In a game to decide the scholastic championship of the Windy City, his name had enough pigskin magic attached to it that 30,000 persons turned out to see the game, and DeCorrevont personally three touchdowns and leading his team's stack throughout the entire game.
Word also comes of a boy named Bagler at San Saba, Texas, who had scored 261 points this season and has another game to play. He must have something on the ball, with both sabidization on an open basis in that region, he is probably already signed up.

Kenneth Messner—One of the "shorties" of the present Fronst Sushi, although his 6 feet of height and 170 pounds seem big to spectators. Hail from Arkansas City with Engleman, and gained All-State center honors last year and was placed on thesee team of the All-Valley selection.
Herb Hartman—Even shorter than Messner, Hartman outweighs him by 10 pounds, but falls short of him in height by 1 inch. Despite his lack of excessive height, Herb makes use of his elongated legs to get and come out with the ball at the right time. Was a Newton high player (remember Frosty Cox from Newton) and was named All-State guard of the '36 season. Took three letters in football at a guard position as well as making a letter

ADVERTISEMENTS Make Neighbors of a Nation
The Yankee clipper-ships are sailing phantom seas. The western two-gun man has retired to the movies, and the southern plantation has been subdivided. The old sectional distinctions have passed into tradition.
Where there was North, South and West, there is now one people. Those old barriers of distance and prejudice have been worn down by many uniting forces: Railroads, radio, automobiles, telephones, newspapers, magazines, Advertising.
These are the things that have united America into a nation of neighbors. You have the same automobile as the chap a half-dozen states away. You both eat the same advertised foods, smoke the same tobaccos, enjoy concerts from the air with the same radio sets. You have a lot of things in common.
Advertisements give you and your neighbors in all the forty-eight states the same chance to know and obtain new things as soon as they are ready. Through advertisements, you learn of a thousand devices that save you labor, increase your comfort, and help you enjoy life generally. They give you a broad panoramic view of this modern age we live in.
Read the advertisements---your neighbors are reading them too.
