Teams Prepare For Game Varsity and Freshmen Drill Hard for Battle Which Is Increasing in Importance
With the game between the varsity and the freshmen to be played Friday night assuming the point of importance reached by some intercollegiate contests, both squads are playing against each other. Kouitr in preparation for the battle.
Consensus of opinion among the varsity players rates the freshmen as altogether a much too "cocky" outfit, and the upperclassmen will be out to take the "youngsters" from the freshmen and the fresh will endeavor to prove they have a right to think themselves good.
Four Lettermen Start
The varsity will probably start a team lining up with Corlis and Schmidt, forwards; Golay,护警; Praille and Carl Johnson, guard; Krauss and Carl Johnson only as a sophomore. Of the lettermen, only Praille was a regular last year, although Schmidt saw a lot of action, alternating with Holiday last season.
FRED PRAILLE - GUARD
Frosh Are High Scorers
Leading the reserves for the variety are Kappelman and Durand lettermen, with Harp, Reid, Floral, Voran, Dietrich, and Hunt, all sophomores who show considerable promise.
It will be a sad opening for the variety, though, unless it is going at top speed. The freshmen have the crisps worried, and with good reason.
Kansas freshman basketball teams are always good, but the present outfit is the best in a long time. Ralph Miller, yearling sensation from Chanute, averaged 19.7 points a game during his three years of high school competition. Jack Buckle, who has fifteen points a game last year, and was not much under this during his junior year.
Howard Engleman from Arkansas City was one of the two high scorers in the Ark Valley conference during both his junior and senior years and the Ark Valley is probably the strongest conference in the state. Bobby Allen, son of varsity Casey Allen, won the best high school, the Best High School, and was regarded as one of the best ball handlers in the state.
Both Have Ample Reserves
Miller and Engleman are scheduled to do the heavy work on offense against the variety, with Allen, John Kline of Hutchinson, and Jim Arnold of Dows feeding the ball to them. Two other, both tall, rugged men, who are powerful on defense and tensions on rebounds.
Replacement for the first freshman five are more than adequate, and will be used frequently. Both sides, however, may suffer from the restriction placed on the game by Doctor Allen whereby a current freshman who is low in his school work will not be allowed to play.
Attack Roosevelt's Plan
Washington, Nov. 30. —(UP) Roosevelt's plan to spur trade revival through a multi-billion dollar housing boom and to smash federal highway grants of $214,000,000 as a step toward balancing the budget, were attacked sharply tonight by western legislators and septical Republicans in a new Congressional "independence."

Along the Sidelin
Elon Torrence
Kansas Editor
A visit to varsity basketball practice convinces us that another winning team is in the making. Whether it will be good enough to cup the Big Six title remains to be seen, but if any other team wins it, it will have to show some real class. "Phog" admits that he will have a good team but says that it will not be as strong as the guys. We don't mind that he is going to sit back and let it go at that. Something tells us "Phog" will have a team out there coached to believe that pre-season statement.
"Dead-eye-Dick" may have passed out with the dime novels, but this Richard Harp rather brings the title back with his accurate goal-shooting. Corilis is another player who seems to have the range on the basket this year. As it looks now, the starting five will consist of Corilis and Eric Cunningham with Pratele and Carl Johnson guards. Harp is certain to lots of play though, especially if Johnson's knee continues to bother him.
The scheduling of a game with Baker has its interesting angles. Last year Baker had an iron-man five that played the full time in both games against the Jayhawks. Four of that brilliant five graduated, and "Liz," the Baker team, was content to rest on the laurels of the Orange team's win over Kansas, for when approached about a game this year he seemed not at all eager to play. This week Baker played the Kansas "B" team against the Methodists had something to do with I. Liston agreed to play. We have a hunch that Baker won't do so well this year without the sharp-shooting Beiser and Schrey, or the tall Heine and the clever Quarer.
There is definite assurance that the Bask-O-Late goals will be used for at least two conference games. The Missouri and Oklahoma coaches have agreed to use these "light-up-when-the-ball-goes-through" goals w when n the Tigers and Soniers play here. The matter will come up at the conference meeting to be held soon, and if the other three schools fall in line, they will be used all 24 Big Six games. It seems logical that those goals will take quite a load off the scourers under the new no center jump rule. Otherwise it will be hard to tell when some of those net swisheries are just out-of-bounds balls or whether they are two-pointers.
Wishes: That Prelude finds the right "yumph" on those long shots of his this year; it would be quite a thrill to see him light that red light on the goal a few times from well in back of the free throw circle. That all these freshman football players can stay in school and remain eligible. That "Phog" would bring teams like Stanford, California, Colorado, or Notre Dame here for some basketball games. The kids don't get too cockey (if they aren't already), and that they live up to their high school reputations. That the Kansas State Collegeian won't give us any trouble if Kansas can win to a couple of Big Six basketball games.

Champion 16 times undisputed, and 3 times in a tie out of the 30 years that basketball has been an intercollegiate sport in the Missouri Valley, is the record of the University of Kansas. In that period, the Jayhawkers have played 674 games, of which 476, or 70 per cent, have been victories. In all these games, Kansas has massed a total of 20,662 points, of 10,189 for each team. In other words, the average game has been: Kansas, 30.5; opponent, 23.99.
The booklet contains scores of all games, both with present members of the Big Six conference, and with all other opponents; and, in addition, has standings of the teams since formation of the Big Six in 1928; scores of other members of the Big Six among themselves; and a list of championships, and of team captains and coaches.
This, and other interesting information about basketball at the University, is contained in a small pamphlet issued by the K.U. News Bureau.
For the summary of games for the entire period, 1899-1377 inclusive, see table I.
Kansas Has Good Record
Jayhawkers Capture Nineteen Cage Titles In Thirty Years
Another table shows a summary of play since the formation of the Big Six, in which Kansas has won 70 out of 96 strictly conference games, or 90 out of 110 with Big Six opponents, if there be included certain clinic games, double-headers, and others that did not count in the conference standing. For the summary showing games, the team won 84 points and game averages, offense ratio points a team has scored to each point of opponents) and number of championships see table II.
The list of Missouri Valley and conference championships, with the number of games won and lost by the winner, also name the suc- ceedants.
BRICK'S "ON THE HILL"
Another interesting list in the booklet is that of individual scoring leaders, which shows Kansas with a leader seven times and a tie in 17 years; Missouri three times and a tie; Alabama, three times; Kansas State, one time; Grinnell, one each. The list is in table IV.
