Athletic Directors Vote to Abandon Scouting in Valley
Round Robin Schedule and New Scoring of Track Seem Assured Next Year
The Missouri Valley Conference athletic directors in their meeting at Lincoln yesterday effected changes more widespread and radical than those made in previous years. Abandonment of scouting, official and non-official, for all branches of valley sport was the most common. Reserve basketball schedule and five-point track scoring are practically assured.
The motion to abandon the present methods of scouting followed a lengthy discussion of the effects of the elaborate systems used in the two sports employed by some coaches. Football and basketball are the two sports most affected by this ruling. This action also includes the clearing of information concerns from alumit and those connected with the universities in unofficial capacities. The directors agreed that scouting had reached such a stage that a professional air was being an amateur competition in these sports.
Recommend Round Robin
Another important part of the discussion centered around the recommendation that the unit with the most suitable schedules be roadopted. This change is almost certain, according to the reports given by some of the officials. The directors' recommendation must be conferences faculty representatives at their meeting today before final test.
The round robin system was exceedingly popular upon its adoption five years ago, in 1922. The system has two main advantages: it provides more training and increases attendance at the games, because the fans will be able to follow the conference standings easier since they can see all of the teams in action and all of the games will count. It also schedules a schedule provides that all teams meet each other twice during the season.
Dement Schedule Confuses
Present Schedule Confuses
When Oklahoma A. and M. was admitted to the conference in 1935, the double round robin schedule was considered impractical because with ten members in the all of the 18 games admitted would be valley games. As a result, the directors adopted a 12 game schedule that would amount to a double round robin: every three years.
But last year, many of the teams scheduled many non-vallage games and the confusion, resulting in the failure to win a quarter-final that should unpound. The motion to return to the old method passed the directors unanimously. A further clause provided that each team would have to schedule two extra non-vallage games.
Two Officials Necessary
The directors also voted to make two officials mandatory for all of the valley basketball games beginning with the coming season. This action was taken for two purposes: to speed up the game and to make less of an accidental interference with the officials and the players during the game, and to make it unnecessary for the official to be in the center of the floor at any time.
Hereafter, interpretations of rules will be voted upon at a closed conference of directors, coaches and official officers. In this regard, the rules will read, to 350, $a game with the option to a 50-50 split between the teams when the gross receipts are more than $1,000. Formerly, the rule has provided for a 50-50 split between the options in a 50-50 split no matter what the gross receipts were.
Limit Spring Practice
Limit Spring Practice
That spring football practice should be cut was the general opinion of the directors. The new ruling,
as passed by them, restricts spring gridiron workouts to two hour periods a day not to exceed 15 days between Thanksgiving and Commencement. No action was taken in response of season practice in other sports.
If the coaches vote for a five-point, system of scoring the valley track meet at Lincoln tomorrow the system is fairly well backed by the dilemma. Because many of the coaches have brought their teams to the meet without knowledge of the rule and that it might be an injustice to them. The ruling to score the five places was up in all valley peeks for next year.
Recommendations will be made today for the faculty representation that the annual cross country run is an important agricultural College next November 19.
Jayhawks to Manhattan Baseball Team Has Good Chance to Finish High in Race
The Kansas baseball nine will journey to Manhattan today to meet the strong Aggie team in games Friday and Saturday. Both games should be close and hard fought as the two teams play on both, both in hitting but stronger in hitting.
Oklahoma is leading in the Valley campaign and are almost certain winners of the championship, but the fight for second and third place will be interesting as four teams are closely bunched and all have about an equal chance to finish high in the race.
Washington, Kansas State, Missouri and Kansas are following Oklahoma in the order named and must fight it out for the runner up position. If the Jayhawkers can win both of the games with the Aggies this week they will advance into some places where they can defeat the Tigers in the games which they play at Columbia this week end.
However, if the Bummen lose either of the games they will stay n fifth place and will have their last hance to finish high when they meet be Missouri Tigers here May 23 and 4.
The Aggies have a fairly good hitting team with one dependable hurler who will cause the Jayhawkers plenty of trouble. Hays is the lead hurler on the Aggy staff after it if they are to complete a successful season.
Swenson is due to start one of the contests, with either Johnston or Anderson pitching the other.
Three Teams Will Seek Victory on Foreign Soil
Having won a group of hares last week-end in the shelter of home and the memorial stadium, Kansas athlete teams sally forth today into foreign fields in search of other worlds to conquer.
The track squand left at eight last night for Lincoln, where it will enter the twentieth annual Missouri Valley track meet. The team will win, no doubt, no doubt, by its victory over Missouri here last weekend. The tennis team which made a clean sweep of Missouri last week also goes on to win against the University of Nebraska raquet outfit. The baseball team, having split a series with Oklahoma last Friday and Saturday, opens a series today with the Agnieszas at Man-

Feature Bout of Evening Work by Spencer; Two Knockouts Eternity Fans

One honest-to-government knockout,
a technical knockout and five de-
sections were awarded last night in the
finals of the intramural boxing tournament at Robinson gymnasium. Phi Kappa Ppa, Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
Delta SigmaLambda, Sigma Nu and Beta Theta Pta with five divisions.
The Phi Psi's has the highest score for the tourney with the Sigma Nu's following.
A crowd of about two hundred fifty fans and rosters lined the ring to razz belligerent roommates, and eleven other players matched in which real scrap was in evidence. Two matches were a frame-up. At least that was the opinion of the crowd. One was a semifinal game between Slam Na'ama, Kelso, inference to his brother further, permitted his opponent to knock him out gently.
Then the victor it went into the ring again. This time it was against Boyle, the man who knuckled out Sweeton on the night before in the preliminaries. Boyle chased him and made effective rights and left. The Sigma Nau knockout man scarcely plumed him. In the last few seconds of the second round, Boyle linded a haymaker upstreet that术 put him on the verge of Kelley's chin—and right to the ropes, then to the door. It was enough. The cool Boyle left the ring and asked John Sohe, "What is the next?" And he was surprised when he was informed that the champion in the 100-round class.
Two more Sigma Nu's faced each other in the 175-cm class. Both had fought their way through strong competition. Neither was overaxious to win, for the outcome necessarily meant points for Sigma Nu.
so they started in on their slugfest. They glided about administering pokes that looked like those shown in a slow motion movie. "Have you a date with Mary for Saturday night?" asked John Hammer. "What do you think your mate was guilty, for now Lymer went down for a technical knockout in two rounds.
Another feature bout was that of Congouher, unattached, and Glanville, Sig Alph. Glanville gamed battled to the end with a more experienced boxer, and the outcome was that Congouher won. Pihi Pai, having a decision to Zinn, Sig Alph, in a match that was constantly interrupted by clinches.
The last match, Spencer, Beta and Dial, Kinai Sigma, for the heavy-weight crown, went an extra round. Both men went down and arose when "Zeke" Burton counted eight. They were thoroughly tired, but Spencer, although handicapped by poor eyesight, won the decision.
