The Missouri Tiger stands at the head of the Missouri valley conference basketball standings, by virtue of its defending the Oklahoma Aggies, Grimmell, and tumbling Oklahoma by a 48 to 56 score. The Tigers will not win any position this week due to not having any conference games scheduled.
Six games Missouri has put on the winning side of the record sheet and only one mark is shaken up in the loss row, this the 40 to 23 defended hand Coach Edward's team by the Jayhawkers. The Tigers' defeat of Oakland last week and makes the race look even more muddled than it has been before.
Oklahoma and Kansas each have two defeats, but the Sooners have played one more game and occupy second place on the strength of that victory. Last week Kansas won a 35 to 34 victory over the Kansas Aggies and Saturday night downed the Grinnell five by a 41 to 19 score. The Sooners deflected Washington, 46 to 40, and the Coyotes fell with Missouri. Thus it appears that Kansas has the better chance of the two because the teams do not meet in a conference game and Oklahoma still has several more hard games to play
Nebraska Still a Threat
Nebraska is occupying fourth place with four victories and three defeats; Nebraska only played one conference game last week, down the Kansas lead, but it lost the last minute of day 21. The Haskers look to be almost out of the running, but a victory over Kansas would put them back in the race. Charley Black sends his team against Missouri tonight, but the game does not count toward the valley race.
The Kansas Agries are definitely out of the race, by virtue of defends handed them last week by Kansas and Nebraska. The Jayhawker victory was by one point and Nebraska scored a basket in the final seconds to score a 14-0 victory over the Wildcats is still a strong team and might win over one of the leaders.
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma are the favorites to win the valley and the Tigers have a slight advantage due to their only playing ten conference schools play twelve. However, Missouri won't be able to lose as many games as the other schools and must maintain its present pace in order to capture the title. The Tigers have three remaining conference games to win. Missouri is playing at Kokomo, A. M., Oklahoma and Kansas. The Sooners are always a strong team on their home court and as Kansas has already beaten Missouri, it looks like the Tigers might have to make more deterent charged up to them.
Sooners Have Lost Twice
Sooners Have Lost Twice
Five games remain for Oklahoma and numbered among these are tilts with Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas. The first two teams have scored twice, the Sooners and thus would be favored over again. The Kansas-Oklahoma game is not a conference struggle.
If the Jayhawkers are to win their sixth consecutive valley championship, they must win all the rest of their games. Tonight Kansas plays Ames, who defeated the Jayhawkers 15 to 12 earlier in the season, but local followers feel confident that Ames will not be able to repeat the victory.

Spring Football Practice Begins Middle of March
Spring football practice will start about the middle of March, weather permitting, according to head coach Franklin C. Capon. Capon intends to have practice last for about a month, and his work will consist of fundamentals.
Last year about 75 men turned out for spring practice and it is hoped by the coaches that the number will be increased this year. Full equipment and practice will probably last for about two hours each afternoon.
Track Tryouts Held Saturday Not Entirely Satisfactory to Huff
Kansas Mentor Is Disappointed by Time Made in Almost All Events
Results of the tryouts held Saturday afternoon on the indoor track under east Stadium were only partly successful. The hawker track mentor, Some of the events were run in off fairly fast time while others were exceedingly slow and didn't give Huff much room for running. The coming K, S, A, C, meet Feb. 19.
Events run off were the 50 yard dash, 50 yard low hurdles, 440 yard dash, and one mile run. Both fresh competed in their separate events.
The time in practically all of the events was disappointing and Kansas chances in the meet Saturday night do not look particularly encouraging.
The track was not in the best of condition and, as the measurements have not been accurately checked, it is possible that the distance followers are hoping that such is the case. The distance players have been finding difficulty in rounding the sharp curves and in the tryouts. Cooper and his team are colliding with a concrete support.
Grady was unable to tryout and Canas followers are hoping that he will be able to better the time made in his 60 yard dash. Undergraft was the Freshman events,innen both the 60 yard dash and 0 yard lew hurdles.
The results:

Sport Notes
What prophet would have guessed that Missouri had one chance in a million of defeating the Oklahoma Soakers, Saturday night? Yet the Tigers won a decisive victory and stamped themselves as a team that is going to cause Kansas and Olda more trouble in the valley race.
Perhaps the Tigers were inspired and some psychology had been used on them, but they clearly outplayed the lanky Sooners and won a deserving victory. Before this upset the only teams figured to have a chance of stopping Oklahoma were the Kansawians who had soldiers armed the trick once and it was thought by many fans that they could do it once again.
The Tiger victory certainly helps Kansas' chances, but likewise it shows that when Missouri comes here on March 2 the Jayhawkers are going to have a real battle. In fact, all of them will put together to put in the victory column. Tonight Doctor Allen sends his quintet against Ames, who defeated Kansas early in the season, Friday night Grinnell comes here and this appears to be the only easy game of all. On Feb. 14, the Cincinnati beat court and although Kansas beat the Bears at St. Louis, the game will be no walkaway.
On Feb. 26 the Jayhawks journey to Nebraska. This game will probably be the hardest that Kansas will face in the Wildcats with Puge, giant center, control, and a big advantage and the fact that they already have beaten Kansas and will be playing on their home court will make them a stubborn foe. Ad Lindsey has been used as the assistant as the successor to Benne Owens as football coach at Oklahoma, has estimated that control of the tip-off means from eight to ten points in every game. So Kansas is going to have a mighty tough to beat the Huskies.
Then, on March 2, comes Missouri, and Corsair puts his Aggie five here on March 4. That will conclude the home season, and what a battle it should be. It appears that the Aggies won the game, but not many followers can put aside the memory of the 40 to 28 defeat handed the local team here in 1925.
John Kuck *star-weight man of the Imperial Teachers' College* and one of the greatest track man ever developed in Kansas, has withdrawn from school and given out the statement that he's brought with higher education.

However, Kuck intimated that he might continue his track work with the Kansas City Athletic Club.
Kuck's withdrawal comes as no surprise to men who have been acquainted with his position at Emporia. It has been rumored that Kuck was taking "pine" courses and that recently he had even neglected to attend classes with some regularity and when Kuck decided that the Teacher's owed him scholastic credit, he had to attend and that he had to attend classes when there was no other place to go; the authorities told him that he was no longer needed in the institution. At least that is the story being told.
Ace Hollins, Nebraska welterweight boxer who was recently suspended by the Kansas boxing commission he was matched to fight one of his sparing partners in Kansas City, has been given a clean bill by the California commission and has been matched by Adkison at Los Angeles on Feb. 15.
It is only a month and a half until high school quintets will be batting at Hays for the state basketball championship. It is a bit early to attempt to pick the winner, yet there are many players who don't look like almost sure bets to go far in the tournament. The outstanding team in the Northeast league is Olathe high, Coach Parks basketkers have only one defeat challenged against them and they appear to be coming from the same state. In the Arkansas Valley league, who usually turns out the team that wins the championship, Newton appears to be the strongest five, although Arkansas City also has a clever quintet. El Dorno occupies the center of the wide vault competition in the sectional tournament, which is held one week before the state meet.
