Basketball Squad Working Overtime to Get in Shape
Jayhawker Five Will Play First Game of Year With Hillyard on Jan. 5
With but a few days left in which to practice before the Christmas holidays, Coach F. C, Allen's basketball is working overtime to get in shape for the first game of the year. The Jayhawker five will meet the illyard team in St. Joseph, Mo Jan. 5, in the city auditorium.
Individual practice is being held every afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30, when regular practice begins. During this time man们 are deficient in basketball, dribbling, pivoting, basket shooting, free throws, or other angles of the game, are given individual attention by members of the coaching staff.
**Squad Put Through 1/10th**
All 130 members of the squad are all equipped and are put through warming up and fundamental drills. Practice in shooting and floor work occupies about an hour or an hour and one-half of this time. The squad is divided into six units and the teams are sent through the plant formations which will be used in the games this season.
After the preliminary practice has been gone through, setting up exercises are given. These exercises are of value in building up those muscles which are not ordinarily called into play during scrimmage or preliminary practice and serve as general conditioning work. Attention is required to place on back arm, and trunk exercises. The setting up drills are done at slow speed and require more limbing up work when they are finished.
Scrimage a half lift. At seats half an hour is given daily to ten teams who are chosen who play under game conditions. No first string has been chosen as yet and the teams are seldom the same. Different combinations are worked together on the substitutions at regular intervals.
Captain Black, Mossy, Ackerman,
Glaskin, Wylim, Wilkinson, Daniels,
Hitt, Crosswhite, Stratton, Engle and
Langford are the players who usually
hold down the first position berths in
scriffming. The men are shifted from one position to another and o dy a few are held in regular positions.
Sideline Sidelights
The Tigers have started their season with a rush. Holding the K. C. A. C. five to a score of 36 to 24 gives the Missourians the right to an optimistic outlook in the Valley.
The Blue Diamonds were national champions last year and play practically the same game as the Tigers. Made up of former M. U. stars, they have won five out of 10 plays of play. Both五es play the short pass game developed by Meunwell.
The smashing, elusive short pass game is hard to solve and still harder to stop. Missouri has used the system for several with good results and Coach Bond should develop a squad nearly equal or on a par with the five which finished second in the Valley last year.
Another team that will be heard from in the Valley race is the five of Washington U. at St. Louis, Missouri, Ames, Washington, Oklahoma and K. S. A. C. will give the Jayhawks battles this year.
Nebraska will be letter equipped for indoor track this season. A track is being built under the new Husker stadium and is nearing completion. The latter men in track were lost to the Huskers during graduation.
Kansas has suffered the loss of Norton, Rogers, Woestemeyer and others who were powers on the track and will meet with strong competition in every meet entered this year.
The prospects at Kansas are better nor worse than at most other Valley schools which have had their squads crippled through graduation
Nu Sigma Nu Initiates Nine

Charles Brady, David Pankratz, Norris Rainey, Paul A. Johnson, B.Alniv Hirsch, John Good, and W. Dwull, Charles Fitzgerald, and Charles Stelle, Members of Nu Sigma Nu came from Roseale to attend the initiation.
Students Rush to Make Basketball Reservations
A preliminary check by the athletic office this morning shows that reservations for 600 of the best main floor seats for taskless season have been made. Several hundred seats on the main floor remain, however, and the balcony seats were put on sale this morning.
An unbroken line of activity that holders has blocked the west door of Robinson gymnasium since the reservations were opened. Many men and women from the organised home have reserved seats for all of their friends.
Intensive Training for Track Season Will Start Jan. 7
S. A. E. Wins Inter-Organization Meet; Good Material Brought Out
Intensive training for the indoor track season will start on Monday, Jan. 7, according to Coach Karl Schlademan. "All men who are coming out for track should do so before then so that lockers may be assigned them. We are providing space for them and we have planned that many to come out. The shed will be open from 3 p. m. on every day," he said.
"The inter-organization track meet which was just held brought out some good materials. But we are in great need of weight men. We will have very stiff competition this year and the results will be widely from Missouri. We are especially urging men who are eligible or the Varsity to come out."
The inter-organization track meet ended with the Sig Alphs on top. Their score was 8031 points with the Alpha Kappa Lambda's running a close second with 7441 points. The other organizations to finish were Sigma, Siema, and Fourth Avenue fourth, 972, and Phi Kappa Psi, fifth, 6129.
The events run on the final day were the relay and the high jump. The relay was won by the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity. Second place went to the Aacacia. The high jump was won by the Alpha Kappa Sigs, height 5 feet 10 inches. This was very good considering the weather conditions.
Office Moving Continues today
The moving of administrative offices continues today. The office of the Dean of the College, alumni of the School, and women are expected to be moved before night. The old offices seem to take on a brighter and more cheerful look as each truck had of filling cards and red linked cards is moved from the room where they will be occupied until after the Christmas holidays as new floors will be put in and the rooms re-finished.
Swimmers to Give Stunts
Club Wishes to Create Interest in Aquatic Sports
The recently organized K. U Swimming Club will hold an exhibition Wednesday night, at 7:30 in Robinson gymnasium. No admittance charge will be made and the exhibition will be open to women students. The swimming tank is located in the basement of Robinson gymnasium.
Canvas will be stretched around the sides of the tank to prevent spectators from getting wet. Various members of the team by members of the club and a game of water polo will be played. Several races will be held and an opportunity will be given spectators to see what happens in the way of a swimming team.
Several schools in the Valley have recognized swimming as a minor sport and the K. U. club is an attempt* on the part of those interested in water sports to develop the interest of the faculty and student body in aquatic activities. The Swimming Club has been developed with members who will later limit its membership to those who are most proficient in the various phases of the sport necessary for a successful team.
