PAGE FOUR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1927 Basketball Team Shows Poor Form, Says Doctor Allen Starting Lineup for Game at St. Louis Saturday to Be Decided Later. "They're not playing basketball. They are trying to play on the reputation of last year's team and they aren't as good as the team was at this time in 1926," said Doctor Allen this morning when discussing the team and its showing in the Creighton and Drake games. "If we would have had to play two minutes more against Creighton they would have defeated us and any member of the team will say the same thing," the coach continued. "It is a hard place that makes the team look so poorly. As soon as they get in the lead, they let down and stop fighting. They seem to play well for about five minutes and then they will let down and count until I scare them by warning them not to think that he is going to be jecked." Although Kansas returned victorious in both contests the Kansas mentor is dissatisfied with the play of his Jayhawkers, and does not look on the Washington game with much optimism. All-Valley Men off Form Peterson, all-Valley center, while a tower of strength on both offense and defense, has not shown his last year's form and is not playing the game he is capable of. Burton is playing well on offense, but his work in sifting in opponents like Nelson and Gordon, all-Valley forward, is far beow his usual playing standard and seems to be in a rut these days. Doctor Allen is still undecided as to what combination he will use against the Washington Bears, Saturday night. "I'm more in the air than ever before about it and don't know who I will use," she said. Jeffrey played in both the Drake and Creighton games at guard and is a strong defender, lacking size and experience. Zuter Maney, and Gordon have all been used in the position, but none work with the smoothness that "Pho" desires. Washington Has Strong Team Washington is one of the strongest teams that Kansas will meet and the game Saturday night will be a battle. The bears are coached by Don White an old Purdue star, and they play a vigorous man-to-man style of basketball that makes opponents very nervous. The game last year, how the Washington players stuck on the Kansas at all times and that the game was very rough on account of it. The Washington pivot man is 6 feet 4 inches in height, but Doctor Allen hopes that Petersen will be able to get the tip. Peterson has been able to every man in the valley during the last two years and attier competition only makes him work harder. Varsity Defeats Serubs Varsity Defeats Scrubs Last night in practice the varsity beat the scrubs 18 to 10. Throughout the first half, the scrubs held the advantage and outplayed the first five. Schmidt got his bunch going sufficiently well to win the game. "The team can play real basketball if they want to, but they certainly haven't done it yet," Doctor Allen said. The team will leave here Friday evening and arrive in St. Louis the next morning. The game will start at 8:30 o'clock. That Kansas is one of the best drawing teams in the Valley was shown by the crowd of over five thousand people who attended the game at Drake. The Bulls dared their coaches to reach capacity. Governor John Hammill of Iowa made the main address of the occasion and referee Quigley introduced the players of both teams. The field house was built by the Stadium corporation which is financed tighter to our Memorial Stadium corpora- Three Meets Already Scheduled for Varsity Swimming Candidates Jocelyn, Evans, and May Form Nucleus for Local Team This Season Herbert Alliph, swimming coach, announced this morning three meets in which the University of Kansas swimming team will participate. The first meet will be with the K. C. A, at Kansas City during the latter part of this month. The second meet will be a triangular one between Kansas State, Washington University of St. Louis, and the University of Kansas at Kansas City in the C. A. C, pool at Kansas City about Feb. 26. This will be followed by the annual Missouri Valley meet at Ames on March 11 and 12. At the second practice of the year held last night 20 men reported, and among them were Meredith Joeckey, dash swimmer, Earle Evans, fancy diver, dishes; and Perry May, fancy diver, all of last year's squad. Jocelyn was a member of the relay team that won first place in the Valley meet at St. Louis last year. He holds three dash records made in the K. U. pool. May was a point winner during the Valley meet last year. Volleyball Contest Opens Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta Win Opening Games Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were the winners in the opening games of the women's intramural volleyball tournament, but lost off last night in Robinion gymnastics. The first game played between Alpha Xi Delta and Kappa Kappa Gamma ended in the decisive score of 44 for Alpha Xi Delta and 10 for Kappa Kappa Gamma. At the end of the half the score was *26-6*. The team was mainly to the lack of good servers, according to Miss Ruth Hower of the physical education department, while the Alpha Xi Delta队 was much stronger on the service than on the return. The Kappa队 also lacked teamwork, according to the referees. The first game between Kappa and Kappa Gamma was by halves rather than games. The halves were each 10 inches in length. The second game, played between Chi Omega and Corbin hall, was played by games, the victor of two games out of three, winning the winner in each. Chi Omega first two games, not without a hard struggle, however. In the first game Corbin hall got a rather large lead, but Chi Omega won both and up won the led game 17-15. The second game was not so close, Chi Omega winning with the score 15-6. Both teams showed good teamwork and were fair in their service. There were no outstanding players on either team.
