PAGE FOUR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2.1937 Varsity Prepares For Frosh B o th Teams Confident Of Victory; Yearlings Squad Contains M a n y High School Stars In preparation for the varisity freshman basketball game tomorrow night, the varsity squad held its last heavy workout yesterday afternoon. The game, which will be played in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 o'clock, has attracted much attention because of the caliber of the freshman team. It is expected to draw a large crowd. Dr. F. C. Allen, head coach, ran his varsity squad through a hard serigraphy session in which the five men who will start Friday night displayed their top form on the year. Led by Carl "Swede" Johnson, 203-pound sophomore guard, running with some deadly basket shooting to show its most effective work this season. Besides Johnson, other starters in the freshman game will be Lyman Corlis, Sylvester Schmidt, George Golay, and Fred Pralle. Praille is the only regular returning from the 1968-37 team, while Corlis, Schmidt, and Golay were reserves last year. **Honor Student Team** An "all-National Honor Society" team was named by freshman Coach Jay Plumley to start for the year-longs. The five men, Bob Allen of Lawrence, Ralph Miller of Chanute, John Kline of Hutchinson, Howard Engleman of Arkansas City, and Jim Arnold of Downs, were all elected to the National Honor Society when they were in high school. Schmidt, varsity "quarterback", will be the only one of the 10 starters who is less than six feet tall, missing that mark by less than an inch. Bob Allen, freshman center stands a fraction over six feet, but is the shortest man in the starting freshman lineup. As the rival camps prepare for the contest, threats and charges fill the air, indicating that both squads will be in order to get the other's scalp. The great collection of high school stains on Coach Plumley's freshman squad has given rise to ambitious hopes among the first-year men. Keen Rivalry Developed Of equal determination and confidence is the varsity group. The starting five have been working together since the start of practice in 1987, and each team reserves help in Durand, Kippmaniel Reid, Harp, and Hunt. Identification cards will admit students, and for others the admission price is 25 cents. In response to the keen rivalry developed since the game was announced, plans have been made to divide the opposing cheering sections for the encounter. Freshman rooters will occupy seats on the stage, while varsity supporters and outside fans take the regular auditorium seats. Entertainment between the halves will be directed by the "K" Club, University lettermen's organization. The probable starting metaps: VARSITY FRESHMEN Corls F Miller F F Emmanuel Schmidt C Allen Pralle G Arnold Johnson G Kline --- Officials: E. C. Quigley and Heri Quigley.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS The ping pong games began yesterday, when Miller hall played the Pi Phi's at 4:15, and the AD Pi's at 5:20.

W.'s and the T.N.T.'s will be played on and at 5 the games between the I.W. W.'s and the T.N.T.'s completed. This tournament will last until the end of this semester. Along the Sideline Elon Torrence Kaasan Sports Editor A precedent of some years will be broken tomorrow night when the freshmen meet the varsity in a regularly scheduled game. In fact as nearly as we can find out it is the first varsity-fresh fray ever to be played as a regular game. We imagine that the usually fine-human crop is the reason. It will be for them, and as for the spectators, they have been hearing the great tales of Miller, Engleman, Allen, and company, and this game will give a preview of the future of cage sport here. Another game that promises an interesting evening is the one to be played January 7, between the team of 1935-36 and the freshmen. The team of 1937 was probably the greatest the Valley has ever known, going undefeated until the regional Olympic playoffs. Here's a chance to get a line on Olympic possibilities in 1940. By that time this football season would be the second year of varsity ball, and this may be a bit premature, we are enthusiastic enough even to dare to hope that the Jayhawker will be flying high over Tokyo three years from now (that is, if they quit fighting over there). Our nomination for number one basketball coach of the country is Kansas "own" *Phog* Allen. We know no other coach that can match his record of championships, games won, or stars produced. When one watches a practice session with "Phog" at the helm, it is apparent why he has had success. His attention to his players, his insistence that every player get the minutest details right, that every touchdown is documented in fundamental of shooting, ball-handling, stance, relaxation. Add to that the fact Allen is a good psychologist, and knows his basketball from years of experience, and you have a fair idea why Kansas is perennially the champion of the Big Six. We like the sprunk of the Pitt team in turning down the Rose Bowl game unless the school came across with a few of the $100,000 dollars they would have received as their share of the gate. It's no more than right to should have passed on the money they earn by their superior playing. These men get out and work hard, take lots of knocks, run the risk of serious injury, just for alma mamym. It is only right they should get spending money if they win for their school, a Rose Bowl win will not miss the chance for a great dramatic strike. That would have been to have taken the invitation and then have gone on a sidetown strike before the kickoff. Imagine that situation—90,000 people in the stands, broadcasting chairs giving a description of it all, and then field until their school officials came across with the dough. Boy! that would have been good! High School Debate Subject To Be on Nation-wide Broadcast The nation-wide broadcast of a debate on the subject that is being used in high schools of 30 states this winter, has been set for Saturday, Dec. 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the University.

Will Exhibit Russian Icons An exhibition of Russian icons was opened yesterday in the south gallery of Thayer museum. The exhibition is being sponsored by the department of painting of the School of Fine Arts. The gallery will be open to the public for the rest of the month of December. The Russian "Icon", so-called, is the sacred picture of the Greek Orthodox Church, and is a direct descendent of the early Byzantine tradition in painting. This tradition in the painting of the "Holy Picture" has been rigidly adhered to in the Greek Orthodox Church from the very beginning, and, unlike the altar pictures in the Italian and western European churches, no "progress" is to be noted in the Russian tradition, as theologians have the All technical advances in Russian painting has been made upon the secular side, whereas in southern and western Europe, painting progressed equally in its worldly and sacred aspects. The icons on exhibition in Thaye museum were all painted by unknown masters, and would seem to have been created under the inspiration of religious ecstasy. They present excellent examples in simplicity of form and delicacy of line; and a rather obvious similarity may be seen between those of these works and those of the earliest Italian primitives, who were also influenced by the traditions of Byzantium. The so-called Greek Orthodox Church seems to have been an outgrowth from a sect called "The Oil Believers," who insisted on crossing themselves with two fingers instead of three, and who were savagely persecuted throughout several hundred years for such heresy. It was a persecution that the Old Believers withdrew to the forests of Siberia to practice in freedom their own form of religion Some time ago, the directors of the International Art Center, through whose co-operation this collection comes to the University, were able to secure these icons in certain Siberian forest districts. In the absence of public places of worship the families thus depicted set up in their homes are preserved in with such sacred images as these before which the household performed its devotions. These icon were frequently painted upon parchment and could be folded and carried by travellers as protection or dangerous journeys or as an amulet in some hazardous venture. Fortunately, the icons of the present collection have been preserved in such a manner that their colors are not altered. All the items all been painted on wood over a priming of gesso, the figures surrounded by the conventional gold background.

From the room of Robert Blair, c'39, who was ordered into police court yesterday, police obtained a school stop sign taken from the Junior High School. Officers said they saw the sign through a window of his room from the street at 912 Indiana street. Signs were also discovered yesterday in the room of Erte Fanchioni, c'41, and Rocose Born, c'41, at 1125 Kentucky. They had been taken from the town of Gardner and are the kind which the state highway department places on a single standard near the city limits. According to the city ordinance, Anderson said, the taking of signs is a misdemeanor which may be punished by a maximum fine of $100 or a maximum jail sentence of three months or both. Police Warn Students About Taking Markers Open season on persons taking down street markers and stop signs in Lawrence has been announced by Chief of Police Jude Anderson. Arrests will be made when signs are recovered. Other signs have been recovered, according to the chief of police. Most of them were discovered in the rooming houses of University students. Keepers of roaming houses, fraternities and fraternities were especially asked to report the presence of such signs to facilitate their replacement. Chancellor E. H.
