JAYHAWKERS WIN TRACK TITLE
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 1934
FOURTH CONSECUTIVE JAYHAWKER BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP COMES WITH SECOND DEFEAT OF SOONERS
With Missouri Game Remaining, Kansas Is Undisputed Owner of Big Six Crown; Ebling Captures Conference Scoring Honors by Making 24 Points of 39-25 Score
Coach "Phog" Allen's basketball team swept through a two game series to claim the fourth consecutive Big Six championship by defeating the Oklahoma Sooners Friday night 39 to 25. Ray Ehling established a definite hold on high scoring honors for the season by making 24 of the Kansas points.
half, they gained steadily through
After the first 10 minutes of Friday's game the Jayhawkers were never seriously challenged, and with an 18 to 10 advantage at the height of steadily through
half, they gained steadily through the final period, Ebling alone scoring 16 points.
This championship is another link in the long chain of basketball titles for Kansas. During the 16 years Allen has coached here his teams have won 13 of the cups. This year's team was described by McDermott, of Oklahoma, as being a typical Kansas team, big, fast and skillful.
Hold Opponents Down
With the shortest center in the conference the Jayhawkers have nevertheless exhibited offensive strategy and defensive ability that has held their opponents to 25 points as being the highest score made against them.
Nebraska has been the only team to defeat Kansas this year, and the Jawhawkers will finish the season with this defeat as the only blown on their record if they succeed in stopping Missouri this Tuesday night. Whether or not a victory is made against the Tigers the title will still be in their possession. Missouri will be battling for one-sided possession of second place, but if Kansas wins the Tigers will have to share the berth with Oklahoma.
Takes Early Lead
Friday's game was the second of a two-game series at Norton, Kansas won the exhibition game Thursday and played on non-conference games for itself.
Credits Whole Team
In the important contest Friday night, Oklahoma went into an early lead but Browning, weak from a recent illness had to leave the floor and the Kansas quickly gained an unquestioned advantage. Gordon Gray, Kansas guard, who until recently this semester had been ineligible, was the sparkling for the first game of the schedule. In the first game he was high point man, and his guarding allowed Bross, Sooner scoring ace, only eight points for the two games.
Ervyl Bross until this last game had been the conference leading scorer, but was held to only three points, giving high total of 108 points for the season, while Ebling with one more game to play, has pitched up 112 points, already two points more than last season's high mark which was held by O'Leary, of Kansas and Coopers, of another team. Gathering of mutual scoring spree Tuesday, he will have a good chance to break the all-time Big Six scoring record.
Dr. F, C. Allen gives to the whole team credit for the championship.
"For the three years past, the Kansas victories were credited to the tall center, but this year the Kansas center has been the shortest one in the conference," he said.
"Ebling, a sophomore forward, has made a splendid record at basket-shooting, but I would like to call attention also to the fine defensive work of Har-

Browne Describes Germany's Terror In Nazi Movement
Entire Population Suffers Under Dictator's Iron Hand Says Noted Lecturer
Lecturer
Not alone the Jews, but the entire German population was reduced to terror with the rise of Hitlerism, declared Lewis Browne, well-known author, in his lecture entitled, "What I saw in Germany," presented before a large audience in the University auditorium Friday night. The condition was brought on by the economic suffering of Germany, abetted by the nation's lack of courage to think, asserted the speaker. The one remedy advocated by him was the boycott of German goods.
In referring to the situation found on his entrance into the country, Mr. Brown said:
"No longer had the people a right to be themselves, or to say what they thought. Everybody was suspicious and afraid of纷言. Anyone who had ever been a Social Democrat, anyone who had ever had liberal ideas, or had associated with others who had been, remain silent or be silenced for long."
Terror Everywhere in Germany
"It was not simply the Jewish population in terror. There are only 60,000 Jews in the whole of Germany, 1 per cent of the entire population. It would be fair to destroy 1 per cent to save 99 per cent, if it would help. But it was not a question of the Jews, but that of all persons liberally or pacifistically inclined.
"Why was this possible?" Mr. Brown presented the question, "In the first place," he explained, "Germany was made to suffer for a war for which, historians now agree, she was no more to blame than the other countries. She was robbed of her colonies, her country was cut in two by the Polish Corridor, and she was piled high with debts. There was an idea that it was possible to crush a large nation. It is not possible.
Country in Distress
"The country was also in economic distress. There was inflation, and the whole middle class was robbed of its possessions. In 1327 the depression hit Germany. The man who had saved up for a rainy day and live in a perpetual waiting for it, lost everything. Discouragement and resentment was strong.
"One man knew how to organize his resentment—Hitter. He went out among the plain people and held his meetings."
Hutter, the speaker said, knows all the tricks of appealing to the common people. Mr. Browne attended one of his meetings. The Nazi leader repeats phrases over and over again, beating his ideas into the heads of the peasants.
"It has never been true that blood has anything to do with ways of thinking," asserted Mr. Brown. "but the availment of these things will tell, will continue to believe."
"We think with our blood, our German blood, our green historical, Teutonic blood," he said.
Mr. Browne set forth several reasons why the Jews are hated by Hiller and the German people. The German population is composed largely of small town peasants. There are among these persons to whom a uniform is appealing. The Jew is essentially the city man doing the city man's job, and he stands for everything hateful to the peasant mind.
Explains Jewish Hatred
The Jew was the educated, the musician, and the professional. When it was discovered that 25 per cent of all the men wanted in Germany were Jews, and since they constituted only 1 per cent of the population, it was decided that there was a great conspiracy among them, said Mr. Browne.
People Must Think
"Things are not nearly so bad as they might have been," continued the speaker. "One wonders that the leaders have been able to restrain themselves as they have. Going to Germany ordinarily, you will see nothing wrong there. Those who want to look for atrocities will find them, as I have."

Timely Topics Discussed At Unitarian Conference
