PAGE FOUR THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9.1926 Drake Basketeers in Good Condition for Kansas Game Meyers and Everett Are Dangerous Threats to Jayhawker Quintet Coach Bill Beeler's fighting Drake Buildings arrived in Lawrence this morning for a game with the Jay- sons tonight in Robinson gymnasium. One of the hardest games on the home schedule is expected tonight, according to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, head coach. The Drke aggregation is a fighting bunch and showed the Moines in battle at Des Moines on Jan. 30. . Meyers, Bulldog forward who was discovered in the Kansas game, is the most dangerous threat to Kansas, because of his long dead shots, which are one of the most prolific scorers in the conference. Meyers has collected a total of 31 points in three games, and is leading the valley in average per game. Simpson, a relatively new man at center, has been a valiant defender. Although they have won only two games out of the eight played in the valley, the Bulldogs have lost several by close margins, and are far from an easy team. Beetler's nine points lead Ten schools by substantial leads. Doctor Allen announced last night that the same line that was used at Nebraska would probably be used against the Moines five tonight.

This week Wisconsin, Michigan, and Purdue return to the fray, and their games are expected to bring about some major changes in the conference standing, which has been nearly the same for a month. The scramble for the basketball championship in the Western conference has developed into a fight among the leading five teams. Diehard overtook one of the leading point getters this week when Harold Cunningham, Ohio State center, was hit in the back during the season for the remainder of the season. By their defeat of Minnesota 21-14 the Hawkeye team moved into seventh place, behind Illinois, and put the losers Gophins in the cellar. Chicago, by its loss to the Buckeyes, dropped to the eighth position. The security of games has caused very little change in the leading scorers. George Spradling, Purdue captain, is still in first place, due to his two first games of the season, although his team has not played since Jan. 21. Washington Wins From Missouri in Late Rally "Stalling" in the last moments of their game with Washington cost Missouri a victory last night at Columbia when the Bears took the ball away from the Tigers, and scored five points in the last few minutes of play. After trailing their opponents 10 to 11 at the half, Missouri passed up the ball and knocked out Jackson to go on to bead a 21 to 19 lead. They then began to play for time, holding the ball against Jackson for over 3 minutes to go on. Washington, fighting desperately, got hold of the ball, and a foul was called on the Bengals. Cox made good the chance, then Stanford, Bear for- ward, shot two goals, sewing up the game. M McMillin, Tiger captain, who had been withdrawn, went back in, in a last minute effort to save the context, but Washington held the ball, and the game ended with Missouri three points behind. The victory put the Bears back at the 500 mark, and sent Missouri further down in the race. Cox, Washington guard, who recently became eligible, was a big factor in his team's victory. Miss Cynthia Wesson, president of the United States Field Hockey Association, was the funchion guest at the Harper and Miss Riv Cluff this moon. Schmidt Was Not Shut Out in Nebraska Game Harold Schmidt, Jayhawk forward, was done an injunction by Nevada sport writers in their record of the game at Lincoln Saturday night, it seems. The writer who sent he story to the Kannan not only placed a goose egg in Schmidt's field total column, but gave an account of how the Husker guards rocked the Kanman that he hardly had a chance to shoot. Gordon and Zuber, who were inferred by being given one aple of Smitty's milk, had been deducted 2 points each to give Smitty his due. The revised box score revealed that Kansas (25) FG FT Schmidt, f 2 1 Gordon, f 3 0 Petersen, c 3 1 Burton, g 1 0 Bolgard, g 1 0 Zubert, z 1 0 Campbell, f 0 0 Hill, f 0 0 Latin, g 0 0 Proudfult, f 0 0 Schmidt Still Leads Conference Cagers With 74 Point Total Meyers of Drake Has Average of More Than 10 Tallies Per Game Schmidt of Kanas still leads the valley in total number of points scored, although his average per name is not as high as Meyers, but he has a higher score with an average of 10.33 points doran, Grinell's fighting center, holds second place in the high scoring column with a total of 60 points "following him are Gordon and Peter-Meyers each with a total of 9 points." Byers who will be remembered by Myers Kansas fans as the man who last year sunk so many baskets from 41 points in the second place in the average point column with a percentage of 9.50. Byers has not been used as a regular this season and has not made the sensational shots which caused him to lose his place in the average point column. Elliott of Iowa State holds down third place in average point column with a percentage of 8.42 and a total of 61 points, which places Myers in the top three. Grimmell and Washington players fattened their average last week by playing two games, while the other valley teams only played one game. This week the Jayhawks play two games and have a chance to pull them into the men who are consisting them so closely in the scoring columns. The twenty high scorers of the valley are listed with the games played, total number of points and average per game. AMS SCHOOL GP TT AVE.

The first game was closely contested but was not an unusual one. Alpha Kappa Lambda defeated Graecer club by a score of 14-8, and the keeper shot and knighting his close guard featured this contest. The score was 10-4 in favor of the club. The final contest was a complete walkover for the Alba who on Onegues 36, by 49-15. Baylor then scored 31 to 5. Royer's guarding and Carrie's and Knowles' offensive power stood up.

All of the Sigma Nur regulars played well but the drilling of L. Johnson, former St. Mary's College football and basketball player, and Shenkin's basket shooting were eses for the losers.

New Manhattan Shirts, Caps, Ties now Selling $6 Jayhawk Talk Kansas has a chance to go into second place tonight. Nebraska will play the Kansas Aggies in the victory for the Corsair cagers would not be a surprise. If Kansas is able to defeat Missouri, the mean second place for the Jayhawks. It will take two defeats of the Oklahoma conference leaders to put Kansas back in the running. Jay-hawker fans believe the Crimson and Blue Devils at Norman, so it is up to either Missouri, Washington, or the Oklahoma Agriers to come through with the other win. Of course Kansas' chances all being on the Jayhawkers winning games, which is no easy task. The Hillarys, St. Joe's fast quintet, played the first game on an invasion of eastern cities last night, winning from the Collisions A. C. at St. Louis 34 to 19. It was the nineteenth contest in which it is out to bring in the National A. A. U, title to the up-river city, and incidentally to former Kangans. Sectional tournaments for high schools this year to determine what teams will take part in the state tournament. Five of them have been awarded to Kliney, Newton, Parsons, Kansas City, Kan., Manhattan, Norton and Hays. Teams winning first, second and third at these tournaments compete to compete in the state tournament. Scoring 64 points and ranking second in total scores, yet on a team which has never pulled out of last year's tournament, the Moran, Grinnell's funky center, so far this season. Schmidt leads in individual points, but just ten point heads is the Grinnell star. It is the second time in every game the Pioneers play. Both leaders in the Kansas conference race will be in action tonight. Washburn should have a set-up, meeting St. Benedicts at Topeka, a dawn which has not won a conference victory to date and has already lost once this season to the Ichabons. The Pittsburgh Teachers will probably get a little healthier competition when they go to the College of Emporia at Pittburg. Westminster college, Fulton, Mo. took the lead in the Missouri College Athletic Union last night by winning from William Jewell 24 to 22. The team was led by a well-rounded twonight when they meet Westminster again on the same court. Kansas has scored more points than any other Missouri valley conference team, due largely to the fact that they have played more games. The Jahawkers, in nine games, have piled up 291 points. Oklahoma, with seven games played, has scored 219 points. The least number of points is by the Kansas Appleton, in four games have run up 80 points. Lawrence high school broke their long losing streak last week when they won two out of town games. Friday from Mandela station to 20, and the next night, inspired by their first victory, they went down to W苍井 and made it a pair by winning 20 to 14. Saturday, meanwhile, molliton on the home court.
