Jayhawks to Play Creighton Tonight in Initial Contest
Team Is in Good Condition After Week's Practice During Holidays' Vacation
Kansas officially opens the 1927 basketball season tonight at Omaha, when it meets the strong Creighton University team. For the past week Dr. F. C. Allen has been sending his players through two hard workouts in the basketball gymnasium and the team is in good shape for its open sleeve tap.
The general play of the Kansan has been ggDd considering the early stage of the season, but the Jay hawker mentor has not been entirely unaware of his quintet, especially on the offensive. On paper, Kansas appears to be exceedingly strong offensively, but in practice the lanky Jay hawkeyes have not hit the basket with as much regu-
ter as Doctor Allen thinks they should.
Gordon Is Shifted to Guard
Gordon is Shifted to Guard
During practice this week, Newland and all will have been used alternately at forwards position until Gale Gordon has been shifted back to the guard left vacant by Belgard's graduation. Just how smoothly the Schmidt, Petersen, Gordon, Newland and Burton combination will work against a strong team will be shown tonight. With Gordon and Burton at guards, Kansas has the strongest back up and assistant back up as the formerly played at that position, he will not be ill at case.
Captain Schmidt is sure to start and his running mate will be either Newland or Hill. Newland has been strong in practice but has not been very aggressive. Petersen, twice all-vallue center, will start as tip-off man for Kansas.
Teams Have Met Once Before
teams have 've'.
Kansas has only met Creighton once in basketball in 1923 when the Crimson and Blue athletes gained a 29 to 7 victory over their rivals. Creighton usually has a strong quintet.
Immediately after the game, the Kansana will again hit the Pullman and leave for Des Moines where they will meet Drake tomorrow evening Neither game is a valley context and not count toward the champion ship.
Doctor Allen has the following players with him: Captain Schmidt Burton, Barton, Petersen, Hill, Camp bell, Zuber, Kroenner, Henderson, Kesner, Stevenson, Hatcher, Amerer, Stevenson, Fowler, Jeffery, Haner and trainer Jalan Ralston.
Activity Ticket Holders Urged to Make Reservations
Basketball Seats Limited
Announcement was made at the athletic office this morning that applications for reserved basketball seats may be made now. Tickets will be filed and seats reserved in the same order as the tickets were turned in, so it is to everyone's advantage to file his ticket early.
The deadline will be Friday afternoon, Jan. 7, and although tickets may be reserved later it is doubtful if there will be any left as there are only 2800 seats and almost this entire number will be taken by holders of activity tickets. The tickets will be distributed on Monday morning, Jan. 10.
People who do not have activity tickets but wish to purchase a season ticket may do so and have their seats reserved at the present time. Students who have their tickets fired immediately in order to get the best possible seats.
High School Cage Meet Goes to Hays This Year
The state basketball tournament of the Kansas High School Association was awarded to the Hays Teachers College at the meeting held on Dec. 18, 2013. The team held here in Lawrence, but Hays made its offer so financially attractive that officers of the board felt that they could not afford to have the team.
The tournament dates will be March 18 and 19. The contenders will be the winners of the 12 district tournaments, to be held the week before, and four other teams will be selected to play in the final journey.

Handball and Basketball Tournaments to Start
Coach John Sabo, director of intra-mural athletics, announced this morning that entry blanks for the annual handball and basketball tourneys will be sent out this afternoon to all organizations. He plans to start handball next Monday, Jan. 10. Coach Sapia will receive in enough time. Due to enrollment, basketball will not sort until Feb. 3.
Last year Mullins and Hawtower, Kappa Sigma, won the handball doubles title and Harold Schmidt, Delta Theta, was winner of the singles. Phi Kappa Pai defeated Pi Upton, and Phi Kappa Pai won that title. One hundred and thirty-eight games were played in the intra-mural basketball tournament.
Games to Start Tuesday
Six Teams Entered in Women's Volleyball Tournament
The women's intra-mural volleyball tournament will start tomorrow evening, Tuesday, Jan. 4. The tournament this year will be played round robin style, as was the intra-mural basketball tournament.
At the present time six organizations have signed up for the tournament, but it is hoped that more will enter before the tournament begins to Miss Dorothy Barter who is in the women's intra-mural athletics.
"I wish that organizations would understand that volleyball is one game that can be played with little practice and yet is one of the best as far as exercise is concerned," Miss Barter said this morning. Any team wishing to enter must turn in their name to Miss Bater before 6 o'clock on Tuesday. The players will be made and games posted by 10:30 Tuesday. "It is most probable that all teams entered will play Tuesday evening." Miss Barter said.
The cup to be given to the winner is on display in the women's department of the gymnasium. Points won in volleyball count towards the large prize draw, which is awarded to the winner of the most points in all the different intra-mural sports.
Naval Radio Is Powerfu
Transmitter 80 Times Stronger Than Ordinary Tube
0 1 2 3 4 5
San Diego, Calif., Dec. 16—A vacuum tube transmitter 80 times as powerful as the ordinary transmitter in a broadcasting station has just been installed in the Chollas Heights naval air station. The vacuum tube radiates 80,000 watts of electricity and is said by naval officials to be the most powerful tube transmitter in the world. It is four United States naval aircraft any other United States naval aircraft.
Chollas Heights is a remote control station, used by the navy for sending purposes only. The actual sending is done from the Point Loma naval radio station, 11 miles distant across San Francisco. Chollas Point Loma key works the Chollas Heights sender, while receiving is handled at Point Loma.
Six transmitters are employed in the station. The 80,000-watt tubes are 200,000 watt are transmitters. Under the new arrangement the station will be able to communicate with American ships in any part of the world during the night, when the station is busy. There are 325 miles; during the day it can again the continent to eastern points to a total of about three thousand miles.
The significance of this station is found in the declaration of radio officials connected with its construction and operation that, if it proves completely successful, as they predict it will, tube transmitters will replace all the existing ones as are employed by the navy at Washington, D.C. Honolulu and Cavite.
The Challas Heights set is one of three built recently by an American company. A second was constructed for the Japanese government, like this in essential details though differing in some minor points. It has been shipped to Japan, but no information is had on it after it left the Pacific islands three years ago for use in South America, but it is required of funds has caused it to be stored at New York, where it had been sent for shipment.
Two new elevents, Marquette University and Bucknell University, appear on the 1927 schedule of ten games arranged for the Army team.

Sport Notes
The vacation weeks have brought on some startling changes in the sport world, principal among them being the big baseball seminal involving Ty Cobb. The team's manager Hubert "Dutch" Leonard and later the charges made by Swisher Rielst that Detroit could four games to the Sox but had abbed the Sox to win the pennant.
--tor of the Kansan and let him in on it so credit can be given to the loyal follower.
As the evidence was given out we fail to see where Cobb and Speaker were guilty of any necessarily dishonest act, but the fact that they resigned their positions before the storm broke and that Judge Leland warned off Cobb's hands one to believe that the facts have not all been laid bare.
The Risberg charges involve a number of great players including two newly appointed major league manager, Dustin Johnson, in the shade in comparison. Whatever the outcome is, one thing is being brought before the public and that is that baseball is open to question regardless of whether any other professional game is.
Alabama emerged with a 7 to 7 tie in its New Year's day game with Stanford. The Bama boys had most success throughout but when a basketball came late in the fourth period they mistered all their strength and pushed it over. More than 63,000 players and million dollars were lauded in it on.
Tiny Reebok, Hankie Fanstar arm tackle, did his stuff to show off football in this section by his great performance in the big East-West game at San Francisco Jan. 1. The big East-West game was Tech All-American attack and proved the sensation of the game. Something for a lineman to brag about.
Rene La Coate, number 1 ranking tennis player of France, won the coveted courts title tuesday when he beat Nicolas Almagro. Pierre Landry, 8-6, 6-2, Laux. landry had been comparatively little known until this tournament, but unset all predictions when he defeated Boris Borgunov, France's most famous netman.
Probably the most consistent football fan in the state if not in the country is Jack Hook, generalissim of the barber shop bearing his name. He has not missed a home football game in 18 years, and we will say that a real record. If anyone can give a better write, to the sports edi

In a quarter-century the General Electric Company has produced electric motors having a total of more than 350,000,000 man-power. Electric light, heat, and transportation have also contributed their part to the freeing of men. These are America's slaves." Through their service American workers do more, earn more, and produce quality goods at lower cost than anywhere else in the world.
The college-trained man is the first to grasp these facts which raise man from a mere source of physical power to be a director of power, thus realizing the true economic value of the human mind.
