Statistics Show Scores Are Close in Big Six Games
Out of 187 Contests 13 Have Been Won by One-Point Margins, Some by Two Points
In the five years that the Big Six has been in existence, basketball teams of the institutions have played 180 conference and seven non- conference games among themselves in which a total of 9040 points have been scored.
Of the 187 games played, 13 have been decided by one-point margins. On the other hand, some of the games have been decided by scores that have had almost a 3-to-1 ratio. Two games have run up to 40 points and some have been decided on scores that totaled less than 30 points. The average is 49 points.
Of the one-point margins, Iowa State has four, Kansas State three, and Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma two each.
Narrow Margin Scores in 1929 The narrowest margin for victory was in the 36 to 35 games, won by Oklahoma over Missouri and Kansas State over Kansas in 1929, and Kansas over Nebraska in 1930.
Iowa state defeated Oklahoma 34 to 33 in 1990; Iowa State defeated Nebraska 33 to 32 in 1992; and Iowa State defeated Missouri 32 to 31 in 1933.
In 1931, Nebraska defeated Kansas and Missouri defeated Kansas State by 31 to 10. In 1929 Nebraska defeated Kansas State to 29. Other one-point margins were Kansas State 28, Iowa State 27 in 1933; Kansas State 27, Kansas State 26 in 1930; Iowa State 25, Kansas State 23 in 1930; and Kansas State 24, Oklahoma 23 in 1930.
Nebraska figured in the high score games, defeating Kansas State 62 to 45 in 1920 (to 107 points in one game) and losing to Iowa State 52 to 50 (to 102) in 1930.
Kansas' Points High
For overwhelming scores, Kansas has done well, with a victory of 35 to 15 over Oklahoma in 1951, and one of 51 to 19 over Nebraska in 1952, or more than eight times.
The least score in the five years was the 11 points by which Kansas lost to Kansas State in a non-conference game. In season, 11 to 15, a game total of 26 points.
Recent figures for low score do not equal some of the old conference days, as for example the Nebraska defeat of Iowa State 16 to 3 in 1914, or the Kansas victory 13 to 10 over Nebraska in 1924.
Following are the standings of Bie Six teams including all games play over the five year period, including those of the regular seasonal round-robin play and non-conference games among themselves.
Missouri leads by eight percentage points in the composite standings, although the Jayhawks have won more games; similarly they have lost more

JAYHAWK JABS by Merle Heryford, c'34
I
Coming back to the old crab of a few weeks ago, this writer is still not willing to drop the controversy of why Columbia University was chosen to compete against Stanford in the Rose Bowl football classic on Ney Year's Day. Comments of an unpleasant nature have not all been confirmed to this section of the country either. While the mid-west thinks Nebraska might have deserved the call after Princeton refused, the west is non-committal about a choice of teams. It only registers a kick against the team and the methods utilized in picking the eastern opponent. The following excerpt is from an editorial printed in the Morning Oregonian at Portland, Ore., on Saturday, Dec. 9:
"When President Coffman of the University of Minnesota, one of the nation's keenest men makes the change that has been made to degenerated into a Roman holiday staged for the commercial interests of Los Angeles, it means that the time has come."
"There is a general belief that Columbia University, chosen for the coming game, should be a pushover. There was surprise and dismay when the team won the season during the season just ended, Columbia has won only over second rate teams.
"Even the Los Angeles sports writers are scoffling and pointing out that in past years there has also been a tendency to have players be trained that would be certain to be beaten , . . .
"The Rose Bowl game would be an engrossing national spectacle, if the national championship, were at stake. But Los Angeles seems to be doing its best to keep the No. 1 seed from winning."
Which is just another gratifying statement quoted to prove that othersaken have made the case.
Kansas Game Re - Enacted
Longest Completed Forward Pass Recalled on Radio Program
There is much dispute over the longest completed forward pass in a football game, but last night over radio station LWL of Cincinnati the football game of 1906 between the University of Kansas and Washington University of St. Louis, in which game the longest pass was executed, was re-enacted. The pass was for 87 yards and was made by St. Louis.
In this game which the St. Louis team won by a score of 32-2, Kansas was represented by players whose names have lived long after them. Among two of the outstanding were Bruner and Pooler.
The pass was tried on the first play of the second half. Probably some of the Monday morning quarterbacks will ask why try the pass on the first down. Well, 1006 was the first year in which the forward pass was used. The rules of that year allowed the forward pass to be used as a punt is now used. The offensive team had a chance to compete the pass and keep possession of the ball or the defensive team could take the ball where it was arounded.
Basketball Squad Is Cut to Fourteen for Holidays
Team to Play Warrensburg
Thursday; at Salina
New Years Day
The Kansas University basketball team will continue in practice all week, preparing for the game against Warensburg Teachers there Dec. 21, and will return for practices for the rest of the week. Members of the squad will spend Christmas at their homes, and will return the middle of Christmas week to resume practice for the game against Kansas Wesleyan at Salina, New Years night, Jan. 1. The next game for the Jayhawks, against Nebraska at Lincoln, Jan. 9, will open their conference season.
The fourteen men who will make the trip to Warrensburg, Mo., Thursday night, to play the State Teachers there, will go to Salina New Years Day for a game with the Kansas Wesleyan team. Dr F. C. Allen, basketball coach, announced the personnel of the holiday team as the following:
Bob Curd, Lawrence; Ray Ebling,
Lindsburg; Gordon Gray, Newton; Fred
Harris; Lawrence; Paul Harrington, K.
C. Kan.; Francis Kappleman, Lawrence;
Frank Lynch, K. C., Mo; Bob Oyler, Lawrence; John Peterson, Winfield; Wilmer Shaffer, Russell; Raymond Urie, Elles; Ernest Vanek, Ellsworth; Dick Wells, Hutchinson; Ambrose Wolken, Richmond.
The ankle injury which Paul Harrington received in practice a week ago probably is not as serious as athletic officials at first believed. Harrington has been asked to remain for practices, and probably will be in shape to play against Kansas University on Jan. 14. He will be tabled in a lineup against Warrenburg Teachers, Dr. Allen thought, although it was doubtful.
In the absence of Harrington, Dr. Allen will probably use his sophomore forwards, Ebling and Kappleman, in the starting lineups, but Robert Curd, Lawrence, who got the call against him in the first practice game may start.
Dr. Allen planned to condition his changes with a scriumimage against the freshmen this afternoon. Eight freshmen will be used, it was announced.
The Upsilon chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha national fraternity will hold its annual founders' day banquet Saturday at the chapter house. The main speaker of the evening will be Attorney Claudie L. Jones, assistant prosecuting attorney of Wyandotte county. Attorney Jones is one of the founders of the Upsilon chapter.
Founders' Day Observed
In the feature game of last night's intramural basketball game Phi Mu Alpha nosed out Delta Tau Delta 17-16. Phi Beta Pi finished ahead of Kappa Eta Kappa by five points 20-15. Delta Chi won its first start in three tries from Delta Sigma Pi 27-9. The Collegiate "F" five captured its second victory of the tournament when a last half spurt jumped Rescall "B" 15-8.
Two Contests to End Pre- Vacation Schedule Tonight
Phi Mu Alpha Defeats Delta Tau in Close Game
Delta Tau Delta led early in the first quarter after goals by Ludwick, but could not hold the advantage as Phi Mu Alpha rallied in the closing minutes of the first half. Sinim, Phi Mu Alpha forward, was the scoring star with three field goals and a similar number of free throws.
Two games will conclude the pre-vacation schedule tonight: 9:00 Alta Tau Omega vs. Phi Chi; at 10:00 Rowlands vs. Pi Kanna Alhaa.
