DEVELOPS INTO SCORING MACHINE
Potsy Clark Believes That Basketball Team Has Found Its Stride
PRACTICE WITH INDIANS
Coach Venne's Tossers Expect to Defeat Baker University Monday
"Looks like a scoring machine to me," was Potsy Clark's comment of the regulars after the scrimage with Haskell, last night. "I was a little discouraged at the first of the season, but I feel better now."
All of the players connected with
the basket, and Captain Pat Nelson
was there.
The Varsity had a considerable edge on the Indians in the first half, but the Redskins came back strong in the last half and played an almost even game. Bennie Murdock, forward, Captain Clements, guard, and Buffalo Head, center, showed up well for Haskell.
DEFEAT HASKELL TEAM
The second string men also connected for more baskets than the Haskell second string men. The Varsity had a fifteen minute scrimmage with the Haskell regulars, then rested ten minutes while the second string men were mixing it with the Haskell second string men. The Varsity then had another fifteen minute scrimmage with the Haskell regulars, after which the second string teams had a twenty-minute scrimmage.
COACH VENNE PLEASED
The phrase "second string men" is used here to mean "other candidates for positions on the Varsity," because there is some mighty keen competition in the various positions, and no one has a bought and paid for berth as vet.
Coach Venne was well pleased with the showing which his regulars made, and believes that they will be able to take the game from Baker, next Monday. He said he expects Venne to expect a hard game," Coach Venne said, "but I believe we will win."
He said the Haskell lineup would probably be the same as scrimmaged against the Varsity, last night. I had to down the forward positions, Buffalo Head center, with Captain Clements and L. Williams as guards.
SPORT BEAMS
Captain Fat Nelson is back into his old fighting condition. Last night he stepped into the limelight as a goal shark, scoring eight baskets. Fat is coming back fast and hard. Another week and he ought to be playing the game as he did throughout the season last year.
Number nine feet won't run in number seven shoes as E. Uhrlaub will testify. During the holiday practice Coach Hamilton checked the lanky center the best pair of shoes there was in the storeroom. Ever since young Dutch has been handicapped by sore feet. But a couple of days out of practice will put him in good shape for the opening game.
The next thing we know Ad Lindsay will be for out track and giving some one a race for their position at that sport. The last week Lin has developed a gang of wind and now dribbles the ball down the floor after the manner in which he played through the line in football practice.
in the scrimmage with the Indians last night Lyle played a fine game at center. This is the third year he has been out for that position, which he likes better than guard. If more K. U. athletes had the perseverance Lyle has shown, Kanye would have shorts than at present. Harold is playing the game this year as it should be played, which accounts for his steady position on the squad.
If Hank Shiml could hit, in accordance with the way he handled the ball, and plays the floor, he would make one of the best men Kansas has had for some time. Coach Hamilton has been looking for him to locate the baset for the last two weeks but as yet the hoooo has him going.
The first conference game will be played at Ames. The Iowaans play the game Coach Hamilton says, "af-
for the packing-house rules," as smash and, bang, get out of the way or run over style of ball. That is fine on the football field but the members of the Kansas squad are looking for trainees to coach Hamilton will furnish, however, some clever competition for the Ames five.
Kansas players and rooters must get together. It is an old song, but this season depends upon the support given by the rooters. The boys are starting out well. They have a hard schedule, and many are inexperienced with basketball. They need the first whistle until the last. If the students get behind them, Kansas ought to step into the lead in Valley basketball this season.
THE CRY FOR JUSTICE
"Any person under the age of thirty, who having any knowledge of the existing social order, is not a revoilest, is an inferior." G. Bernard Shaw.
Upon young people who are privileged to make use of our Universities in preparing themselves for their work fails a special obligation to lend a sympathetic car to the continual "cry for justice" that arises from every part of our social order, and to prove themselves leaders in the prosecution of wrongdoing or human bans. Do you know the conditions that exit? Do you rebel at the injustice? Do you feel a passionate desire to enlist in the cause of justice? Hear the morning sermon at the Ullitarian Church.

The basketball season last year was a great dissappointment, to both the players and the Kansas supporters. The followers of the game laughed at the efforts of the squad! We will have to admit that they did the game as Kansas team usually play but then, they did their best.
