Tiger Team Begins Basketball Season With Losing Slump
Low Valley Standing Las Year Accounted for by Changes Made in Executives
The start made by the Missouri kasket ball team this year indicates that it will not be the aggregation touging the Tigers out of their losing slowp. For the first time in many years, Missouri failed last year to win at least one championship in a major sport.
The basketball team made the best showing, finishing in second place, a close runner-up to Kansas, winner of the championship with an ever-victorious team. The Tigers took fiftep place in baseball, fifth place in indoor track, fourth in outdoor track and seventh in football.
Brewer is Athletic Directive
Authorities at the Columbia school give as a reason for the apparent low standing in the Valley, the many changes made in the executives connected with athletics. Last year saw the resignation of Z. G. Clevenger, director of athletes, who returned to Indiana after being placed in Indiana to take over the position of director at that institution. To fill Clevenger's place, Chester L. Brewer, a former coach and director of athletics at Missouri for seven years, was appointed. At the same time, Gwinn Henry, who had been billed to attend the college of Owens Valley, went to the Fitzgerald head football coach.
Director Brewer in addition to his executive duties, will conch basketball, filling the place left vacant by the resignation of Coach Henry Garrity, who left in the spring to take a different position. Among the other players he played was Charles E. Fisher, for several years connected with the K. C. A. C., which was appointed to coach wrestling, which had been made a minor sport.
Coaches are Former Students
The only old faces at Rotherhill gymnasium this year are Bob Simpson, track and cross country coach, and George Bond, basketball coach. Both of these men are forer Tiger Williams, the Valley as excelling in the sports which they now coach. Simpson is to continue his work as track coach and will be assisted by Henry, who him will enlist an enviable record on the cinder path.
With the new executives and coaches Missouri should again take the place in Valley athletics which she has held for so long. The new administration at the Tigers school are able to give her abilities and nothing should hold the Tigers back in climbing back to their accustomed Valley standing.
The closest approach, made by the Tigers towards a championship was made by Simpson's cross country squad which won every one of its games in the tournament to Ames. The Tigers were hand-capped by an injury and a no-tack record.
Pigs May Be Pigs,But 'RatsIsRats',Van Says
Pigs may be pigs, as Ellis Parker Butler says; at any rate, Van, the animal man, is confident that "rats is rats, especially white ones." Over in the basement of East Ad, rats are known to love roses and poles. What's more, Van is willing to offer a prize to any man who count them. One time, two hundred rats made their homes in the screen ranges. A few days later the population would even stump the mathematician of Butler's ingenious station agent.
These rats have their work to do. The department of psychology makes them wander in mysteries mazes. They do it or they don't eat. Success by a rat explorer means either a hearty breakfast or the satisfaction of escaping from the cage temporarily.
In their cages they find amusements in various ways. They indulge in all of the antics of a cage of monkeys and a few tricks that the lowly monkey never taught himself. For instance, all white rats are given to singing. Their choreans can be heard from one end of the room to another. The monkeys deep squaks, and the little ones sing the high notes. No doubt some of them squeak so high that the sound is inaudible to the human ear.
Van says rats are always hungry and are not a bit particular what they eat. It is little trouble to attend to their wants. Of one thing, the rat is very men-like. Men come and men may go, but rats go on forever.

Twenty-nine Numerals Awarded to Freshmen for Work in Footbal
1924 Squad Averages Unusually High Standing in Scholarship
Twenty-nine of the freshman football squad this year received numerais in recognition of their work. The squad this year was high in scholastic standing, only two of the men not being eligible. Such a squad is unusual and will in all probability fall for the variety next year.
Lewis Davidson at center; Nom Snyder, guard; Harold Smith, hath back; Clement Hardy, tackle; Harold Zuber, full back; and Delancey Westcott, guard, look very promising. His teammates are many others on the squad who will also have a good chance next year. This year's freshman squash was the largest that has ever gone out and with this fact in view it looks as if there will be plenty of variation for varity berths next fall.
Spring football will start this week and room is being made to take care of the men who will come out. There will be two squads, each squadr work three days a week. The workouts will be only an hour long to start.
The freshmen will receive in addition to their numerals a picture of the squand as a compliment from the athletic department. These men will receive numerals: Joe Anderson, Harold Zuber, Wade Cloud, Howard Kroger, Chris Knopf, Falleur, Harold Garrett, Chas Gray, Chas Herman, Clement Hardy, Lloyd Wybourne, Wilfred Hunsinger, James O'Byrne, Donald Patterson, Wm. Wade Pierce, George Powers, Lewis Virgil Sams, Nona Snyder, Harold Smith, Dick Smith, John Willis, David Watson, Westcott, Clair Williamson, Joe Wellman, Jack Quinlan, Harold Zuber, Frank Taylor, and Alfred Little.
WHO'S WHO
"Who is Veta Lear?") You may not know her name, but everyone in the College knows her. She is Dean Gareth like her even when she is telling you the unpleasant truth that you have three or four more hours of D's than the maximum, or that your mid-age son has more than forty percentage of flunks."
Miss Lear is a K. U. graduate.
She received her A. B. in the spring of 1914. Before coming here, she
studied at University of Illinois for one year.
While in the University Miss Lear was a member of Allemannia, the German Dramatic club, secretary of the German Verain, a member of the W. Y. C. A. cabinet, the Philosophy club, and Pi Liamda Theta, his educational society. Her major was German and her minor Latin.
Miss Lear taught Latin in the Lawrence high school for several years. In the spring of 1920 she returned to K. U. in her present position. She is a member of the W. Y. C. A. advisory board, and is interested in many student activities. Mrs. Leary says that she likes work because it brings her into contact with the students, "and because the students make me feel that they are interested in me, too," says Miss Lear.
Raises Turkes for Government
Harry Mallies, B. S., 23, has recently returned to this country from Guantanamo where he has been in the United States since a biological survey. He has brought with him a collection of new specimens of a species of wild turkey which he raised under direction of the government while in Guantanamo. He then moved to southern preserve where the climate is similar to that in which the turkewars were raised.
Football Practice Starts
Squad to Work Indoors During Month of January
Coach "Potys" Clark' football and baseball men attended a meeting Saturday afternoon in Robinson gymnasium. There were forty men at the football meeting and thirty at the baseball meeting.
Spring football practice will start
Monday afternoon and practice will
be held on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday of each week. During
the month of January calisthenics
and tumbling exercises will con-
titute the practice. Outdoor practice
will be as soon as the weather permits.
Baseball practice will not start until after the examinations. Cach Clark has four letter men around him. He has four letter men from Loborg at third base, Davon on the mound, and Price and Black in the outfield. Several men from last year's freshman team have shown promise with his material record according to Coch Clark.
Oklaima will journey to Lawrence for the Jayhawks' next home game and will use the same style of play that has characterized the Missouri State Bears in 2014, new coach at the Norman institution, has abandoned long passes.
The fact that Coach Allen played four teams in the Drake game and was still able to come out on the long end of a one-sided score would have been something championship team in the making—if you want to figure it that way.
Sideline Sidehights
That way, however, is not the way coaches and players figure and overconfidence and expecting too much will go far towards the ruination of a team. Kansas fans should not expect too much early in the season.
Following the Oklahoma _contest Nebraska will come to Lawrence. Little is known of the Huskers ex-team defeated Missouri with little trouble.
One thing is certain, the games with Oklahoma and Nebraska will not be entered in the win column with the case of the Drake contest the schools are asked to have by the strongest aggregation in years.
Referee Quigley was called upon to penalize the crowd before the first ten minutes of play were gone. And all because some over-zenous Kanaka players were sent off, the game long enough to do his complaining when the game was over.
Grinnell was victorious over Missouri and also over Drake but by a smaller margin than Kansas. Doepers might point at the score and say that Kansas should defeat the Tigers with ease, which would be the worst thing that could possibly happen, according to the Jayhawk mentors.
Kansas has had enough publicity this year concerning the other side
