THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Basket Ball Team Will Begin Practice After Thanksgiving Prospects Hurt This Year by Loss of Letter Men; Kansas Schedule Unfinished Basketball prospects at the present time are not the best in the world, considering the number of stars that were lost by graduation. All of them have their places must be filled by new men. Dr. F. C. Allen in discussing this year's team said that we will have a good team, but not as good as last year's team, but not as good as three years' hard training. The men are practicing several evenings a week under the watchful eye of Coach "Phoq" Allen. He is giving the men new tricks in dribbling, pivoting, and shooting basketball. Practice will begin in earnest immediately after Thanksgiving. Practice at the present time is being conducted because he is charming. Character is he is devoting his time to the gridiron sport. Mosby who made his basketball letter last year, will also check out a Crimson and Blue basketball suit as soon as the pigkin season closes Nov. 28. Coach Alien expects Mosby to develop into a real guard this season. One of the hardest tasks that confronts the Kansas mentor is the developing of a center that will fill the shoes of "Long Jawn" Wulf, who graduated last spring. It is posed as if he will starred at forward last year will be switched to the center back. Captain Black will undoubtedly hold down one of the guard position Verne Engle, who was a member of last year's squad, but failed to make a nice game in guard this season. The Jayhawker season opens Jan. 8, 1924, when the Oklahoma Sooners leave their abode and journey to the land of the Jayhawkers. The round robin style of play was adopted again this season by the coaches. The Jayhawkers have 16 games on their 1924 schedule. It is possible that they will play games outside of the valley schedule. The season for the "Allenites" closes March 1 at St. Louis with Washington University. Aggie Prospects Good The last two years have found Kansas and Missouri towering head and shoulders above the other valleys of the country. This year it is possible that several other schools will have good teams. Missouri should have another good combination as they have several letter men back from last year. The Kansas Aggies have a new coach, James Patterson, who has won last year's team. They would have a strong five this season. The Kansas schedule is as follows: Jan. 8—Oklahoma, at Lawrence. Jan. 11—Drake, at Lawrence. Jan. 15—Nebraska, at Lawrence. Jan. 22—K. S. A. C., at Manhattan. Jan. 25—Nebraska, at Lincoln. Jan. 27—Washington, at Lawrence. Jan. 6—Washington, at Lawrence. Feb. 9—Oklahoma, at Norman. Feb. 12—K. S. A. C., at Lawrence. Feb. 14—Ames, at Lawrence. Feb. 20—Drake, at Des Moines. Feb. 21—Grinnell, at Grinnell. Feb. 23—Ames, at Ames. Feb. 26—Grinnell, at Lawrence. Feb. 26—Missouri, at Columbia. Mar. 1—Washington, at St. Louis. Roeder Wild, c19, was in Lawrence for the Kansas-Aggie game Saturday.

I. Eight members are preparing letters which will illustrate the possibility of making personal letters individual and distinctive, as well as giving them a literary finish. A few letters of writing from a writer show the stage of development the art of letter writing attained in the eighteenth century. Something new in the line of programs is going to be carried out this year, said Floyd Simonton, president, and all members are especially asked to attend as many meetings as possible. Fighting Jayhawkers Being Put Through Heavy Scrimmages According to Dope, Kansas Has the Edge on Coach Owen's Fast Eleven The Jayhawk football squad came through the Aggie battle in fairly good condition. No one was seriously hurt but several of the men were badly bruised. "Hal" Burt, who was knocked unconscious early in the game, is improving and should be back in the game before long, according to coaches at the present time have their attention centered on the game with the Oklahoma Sooners, Saturday, Nov. 3, at Norman. Practice this week will consist of scrimmaging against Coach Bunn's yearlings using some of Bennie Owens' formations. Coach Bunn scouted two teams, the Sooners and Surrey. He reports that the Sooners have a fast team despite the fact that the Husker eleven beat them 24 to 0. The Sooners have a real pilot for the Wildcats, a broken-finger runner of no little merit, to coach Bunn. "Bob" Mosby may break into the lineup for the Kanasans Saturday if he improves as he should. If Mosby, gets in shape to play he will strengthen the Kanas line considerably. The style of play that the Sooners will use is not known here, but Owen often uses the airline for gains. The line p that Coach would probably "chill" with against the Sooners would be hard to pick at this time, but it is possible that the Jayhawker mentor will use two full teams before the final whistle blows. The Jayhawker team will probably entrain for Norman Thursday evening and stay in Oklahoma City anytime Saturday morning, making the journey to Norman the morning of the game. The "Kansas Skripper" is expecting a real battle from the southern school. They won from the Oklahoma Aggies by an 12-0 score, while the best score it the Kramer did on. On the other hand, Oklahoma 24-0 and the Jayhawkers held the Northerners to a scoreless tie. It appears that dope is about even, and the outcome of the fray a toss-up. The Jayhawkers should be used to practicing in the mud, as it rims at least once a week. The players put up a good game in the mud. Sport Briefs Coach Gwin Henry leaves the home of the Tiger Saturday and journeys to the land of the Wilhelm afternoon, Nov. 3, on Aboard Earnhardt The Jayhawk Cross-country team will meet the Sooner conunion.ion Saturday in connection with the Sooner-Jayhawk football game. Carl McAdams, former Kansas backfield star, is on the Oklahoma coaching staff this fall. Gerald Smith got all of his puns off in good shape in the Aggie game. Not one of his kicks was short throughout the contest. The Swartz to Stark passing combination is one of the sweetest combinations that ever stepped on the Stadium field. "Pete" Jones and George Nettle, both former Crimson and Blue captains, were in the dressing room after the game Saturday. "Gerff" played his usual hendy game Saturday, and on a white end run he stepped off about 25 yards before he was downed. Hal Burt should be in shape to play by Saturday if he does not receive any more injuries. PLAID and STRIPE Sport Coats Let's make the trip to Okhomawo with the team.
