Low Grades Reduce Team Membership
Scholarship Deficiencies
A t Mid - semester Cut
Basketball Squad About
One-third
Twenty-one men reported for basketball practice yesterday as the Kansas varsity squad opened its last week of drill before the tilt with the freshmen Friday night. Nearly a third of the squad will not work out this week because of scholarship deficiencies at mid-seminar.
Studying will replace goal shooting on the daily programs for these men as they attempt to raise their scholastic standing to the "C" average required by Dr. F. C. Allen, head basketball coach.
Meanwhile, the cagers who had no mid-semester deficiencies face a strenuous week of drill in preparation for the freshman encounter Fundamental drills, signal practice and scrimmage on the Hoech auditory court were on westerly program for the small squid which practiced.
After preliminary exercises emphasizing fundamentals, the squad moved from Robinson gym to the auditorium court where Coach Allen sent four full teams through brisk signal drills. An indication of the possible starting combination Friday night was seen in the grouping of Fred Pralle, George Golay, Lyman Scliver, Sylvester Schmidt, veterans, with sophomore Carl "Swede" Johnson.
Injured Members Improve
A second combination was composed of Kappelman, Harp, Florell, Dietrich, and Fugit. Kappelman is a letterman and Fugit is a squad member from last year's team while Florell, Harp and Dietrich are sophomores. Nelson, Hunt, and Sullivan, from Coach Allen's announced "Pony Express" quintet, teamed with two slight alums from the defense to form three. These three, with Harold Johnson and Robinson, were used defensively for the signal drill of the first five and later took a lively part in the scrimmaging.
Injured members of the squat showed improvement in yesterday's workout although several were not yet back in top condition. Pojey sophomore guard candidate, who sprained an ankle last week has apparently recovered from the injury. However, the play of two first team prospects, "Swede" Johnson and Cerlis was still hampere by leg injuries received last week.
Freshman-Varsity Game
Despite his ankle alineal, the bassket shooting of Corlis was a feature of the scrimmage sessions. Receiving the ball in the free throw lane at the end of set plays, the junior forward had several errors that were highly successful. Florell, 6 ft. 4 in. sophomore center, was the scoring leader of his group. Using his height to a good advantage, Florell repeatedly rushed in for tip-in shots. His team's success was impressive and Bob Hunt was his usual scooting, hustling self.
While the varsity squad is being groomed for the freshman game, Coach Jay Plumley and his star-studded frush squad practice nightly in preparation for the contest. With the prospect of seeing the highly touted freshman enagers in action, and with the glimpse of varsity prospects, basketball fans are eagerly awaiting Friday's game.
Four members of the football squad worked out for the first time. Nees Masoner, Lenhart, and Ebing ran through the drills on fundamentals but took little part in the signal practice and scrimming.
Although several times in past years the freshman and varsity squads have tangled during regular practice sessions, this meeting will be held on Monday and Tuesday for years, the two teams have played a regularly scheduled game.

With the passing of Thanksgiving thoughts of Kansas sport fans naturally turn to basketball, and football is relegated to the mothballs until spring practice time. There is no doubt, however, that the Jayhawkers provided the most surprising and talked of team to be seen in the Valley sector for some time. It seems that Kansas is finally on the road out, and if this freshman material is anywhere near what it is cracked up to be, other Big Six teams should beware next fall.
With the change of sport season it is customary that there is a change in the position of sports editor on the Kansan staff. And if this, our initial column, we wish to pass a bouquet to our predecessor, William Fitzgerald. First, orchids for a breery, interesting column, and second, a long, loud razzberry for setting such a high standard that it makes it very difficult for anyone else to follow him.
Perhaps the statement that baskball has taken the spotlight was a little premature, for one must still put up with the all-something-or-other teams, and also with the various bowl games, giving the football season a slow death. The Kansas hesitates to stick its head out on the field. But Basketball we will wait and make a composite team from the Associated Press, United Press, and other authoritative selections.
But just in case someone may think we are doining the issue, here is a team we like personally. Ends, Smith, Oklahoma, and Dohrmann, Nebraska; tackles, Shirey, Nebraska and Ward, Kansas; guards, Kirk, Missouri, and Stapleton, Kansas; center, Parks, Oklahoma; quarterback, Hawks, Nebraska; halffacks Cleveland, Kansas State, and Baer, Oklahoma; fullback, Douglass, Kansas.
For a second team, you could run in Nelson, Missouri, and Young Oklahoma, ends; Skort, Oklahoma and Krueger, Kansas State, tackles Anderson, Kansas, and Bock, Iowa State, guards; Brock, Nebraska, center; Kischer, Iowa State, quarter Replogle, Kansas, and Dodd, Nebraska, haffacks; and Briggs, Kansas State, fullback.
Understand, these choices are personal, with perhaps a tinge of Jayhawk prejudice, but certainly no more prejudiced than those selections appearing in other Big Six school papers. Watch for our composite team though, for it will represent the boiling down of the opinions of the most competent observers.
In the meantime, we are going to be thinking about that basketball game to be played in the auditorium Friday night. Kansas has what is probably one of the most amazing collections of high school stars ever to enter any one university. It's hard to believe, but see what they can do against what is almost certain to be one of the leading Big Six quintets.
Gridsters Close Season Near Top
The University of Kansas football team, unanimously assigned to last place in the Big Six by experts at the first of the year, closed the season Thanksgiving Day with a scoreless tie against the Missouri Tigers, and found themselves perched in third place.

Big Six Standing; Coach
Awards 27 Letters
The amazing climb of the Jay-hawkers caused the coaches to award 27 letters to the following:
Backs — Amerine, Cadwalder Caldwell, Cannady, Divens, Douglass, Masson, Meier Replich, Burrell, Sullivant, Wienkeen. Chiwood, Hardace, Shirk Silianck.
Tackles — Bosilevac, Gearhart Ward. Rhule.
Guards — Moreland, Anderson, Stapleton, Turner.
Centers-Hall, Warren, Wilson.
Of the lettermen, only seven—Cannady, Douglass, Wiencke, Moreland, Hardacre, Ward, and Staplen—are lost through graduation.
Probably the high spot of the season just closed was the Nebraska game in which he tied her for the three minutes and then were tipped, 13-13, by the desperate Cornhuskers. It was the first time since 1923 that Kansas has even tied the Lincoln team.
The 6-3 victory over Oklahoma was perhaps the most amazing of the Kansas victories, as it came in the last ten seconds and featured two sophomores, Dick Amerine and Don Ebling. Amerine, who was in and out all season with injuries, demonstrated in the Missouri game that he was probably the best player. When Dick Amerine in the lineup all season, the Jayhawkers might have been even more impressive.
Clarence Douglass played the game of his life against the Tigers, and established himself as certain all-conference material, as did Dwie Ward. Ward Staples turned in his usual dependable game at guard and was picked on the all-Kansas team along with Douglass and Ward.
"Frosty" Hardace, one of the four senior regulars, was probably the most improved man on the squad over last year, and had a job on his hands trying to fill Dill Shirk's shoes. Shirk was handicapped all season with injuries and was unable to flash the brilliant game that made him the outstanding man on the team last year.
