THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN HOOPSTERS TOILING FOR BEST CONDITION Sweat Pours in Preparation for Contests With Grinnell Pioneers BEAT MISSOURI IS SLOGAN Allen Works Men on "No Loafing" Principle, Drilling Offense and Defense Despite the fact that the Grinnell Pioneers were swamped in their two games with the Cornhuskens last week, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics, and coach of the basket ball team par excellence, is making the sweat pour off his athletes in copious quantities. "no loafing" and "Beat Missouri" are the two phrases he is instilling into the men, and they are working in an effort in an attempt to get into the possible shape. The Grimmlick playment played its first two games of the season against Nebraska, and reports from that seance indicate that the second game was a hard battle. 19. Evans and Fearing, forward and guard, respectively, are reputed to be fast and accurate in shots at the beltjacked hoop, and Coach Allen is not letting up on his stellar defense. The Kansas squad is not in the best of condition. Wulf, lanking center who stood out as well as up in one game at Ames, is not feeling well, and Endacott and Uhlahr were slightly injured in the Iowa contests.

KANSAS HAS SURPRISE TEAM Nebraska Sport Writer Places Jayhawkers High The following story is an excerpt from the Kansas City Times of Tuesday morning, dated from Lincoln, Neb. It gives an idea of how the Kansas basketeers are regarded among other Valley schools: The showing of the Kansas Jay hawkers has been one of the surprises of the first lap of the running. Although starting the season with one "letter" man in the finishes, it was followed by four drake victories over Drake and the Iowa "Ags." While form sheets are uncertain in basketball, as in other inter-collegiate sports, close followers of the court sport in the hawker's team may faint when pitted against the veterian Missouri Tigers and Kansas Aggies, and that the premiership of the southern section will eventually be decided in the exchanges of games by the Tigers and Kansas Aggies. The conference winner during the past four years, and the Kansas Agricultural College, which captured the conference flag two seasons ago, are again in the field with formidable experienced basketball aggregations and face two teams will surely win at the Hawkeyes trailning at the wire. Manhattan Asks Extra Indoor Meet This Year The Aggies are asking for two indoor track meets with Kansas this year—one to be played at Manhattan another to the one to be held here on February 19. It is doubtful that the second meet will be arranged, a meet with Washburn will probably be on February 9, though it is ot certain. The track men are working out regularly at present, though the weather conditions keep them hunting for meeting places. They are showing much better form and give much more promise than did the indoor team at this last meet to really size up the men up yet as they have had no chance to show what they can do in competition. Jack vs. Georges July 2 In Canada or England? New York, Jan. 19.—"The Dempse, Carpenter pitchier will be held July 2 either in Canada or England," was the statement made by Tex Rickard to G. Bell, a promoter working with Rickard. This announcement was made by Rickard to correct the circulating rumor that the Dempsey—Carpenter team was being selected for championship had been called off.

Hill Class to Learn Feinting and Footwork; Ring Bill to Legislative INTEREST IN BOXING BRINGS NEW COURSE Added interest in boxing, the last semester, has led to the installation of an advanced boxing class, for self defense, interested in the art of self defense. This class will be open to sophomores and specials only. The sophomores must have previous credits for boxing, and specials will be admitted, only by the recommendation of the department. This new class will be instructed in the more advanced art of boxing, such as foot work, feinting, and various characteristic punches. The men will be classified by the differ-ent types of punch; feinters, two-footers, bantam weight, light weight, weltel weight, middle weight, light heavy weight and heavy weight. The best boxers in these groups will be chosen by the process of elimination and bouts are to be arranged later with the R. O. T. C. Boxing instructor, Pete Gross, will have charge of the classes, and will be assisted by Winfield Leu. The schedule will be announced later. At present there is a bill before the State Legislature, to legalize boxing in the State of Kansas. It was introduced by Senator Finley, of Neosho, and is being strongly supported by Reverend Blackman from Grandville, and Doctor Naisimh of the University of Kansas. Boxing has been the leading sport at Penn State, Pennsylvania University, Cornell, and Harvard for several years, and while it is a new thing will be believed that the sport will become popular within the next few years.
