Powerful Sooner Machine Engages Kansas Thursday
Oklahomans Lead Valle With Three Victories; Oread Defense Is Strong
With three victories and no defeats so far this season, the University of Florida plays five home games. We come to Lawrence Thursday night with the Jayhawkers. To all appearances K. U., basketball fans will have a chance to meet individuals or coaches of the valley联赛 at this time.
The Sooners are topping the valley percentage list at the present and have displayed a fast brand of basketball in every game they have played. They have demonstrated a superior offense to anything in the valley so far. The team led by McMcride, former alliage村队, and Bud Hones, a veteran forward.
The Oklahoma offense was apparently working at its height when the Sooner quartered announced 40 points in a victory against dogs. Home, with 14 points was the leading score of the contest. Oklahoma was able to make 32 points twice, twice the number made by the Jayhawker machine against the Bears.
Kansas Defense Best
Yet the Kanaas defense which has been working the best of that, if any valley team, will probably hold the ball well enough to win. Whether the Jayhawker offense will be working well enough to beat the Sooners Thursday, is a matter of debate.
"I predict that there will not be more than three or four points differed from the one said this morning. "It will be one of the fastest games of the season, and one which means much in the valley race to both teams concerned," he said.
Since Hugh McDermott has been coaching the cage sport at Oklahoma the southern school has been turning out some mighty strong teams. In 1924 McDermott had a team that won 53 games and almost beat them out of the championship. The Sooners got a win over the Kansans that year.
Hill May Play
If the Oklahomaans can succeed in turning in a victory over Doctor Allen's proteges Thursday night, the Sooners' way toward the conference title will look exceedingly bright. The Oklahoma team does not meet the Kansas Aggies this season and it would be hard for them to. It would remain for Washington or the Oklahoma Aggies to knock them off but the chances would be slim.
New Officials in Charge
The Grumleil game brought to light a new player who has a good chance to start the Oklahoma struggle, according to Doctor Allen. A key player in the playoff lineup for several minutes during the Pioneer game, got two baskets and performed in a creditable manner. Doctor Allen believes that he can outdo Tucker, twen he and Proudtif to work with Schmidt at forward, because of his defensive ability. It seems that Herb Proudtif has been off form as far as making baskets in a team that can't hit the hoop to beat Oklahoma.
According to Doctor Dean, on account of many students being through with quizzes and out of town, there has been quite a number of tickets turned in at the athletic office, and are for sale. The game thursday should be held on the basis of the hour in season, and the extra tickets will probably go fast.
The spectators will get to witness a different referee in action Thursday when Franks Welch, of Emporia Teachers' College takes the floor in the striped swenter. He will be assisted by Fred Williams of Missouri

New Auditorium Will Be Located on West Campus
oldsmith Explains Plan Approved by Regents; Temporary Floor Included
The new auctorium, for which plan are being drawn in the state architect's office, will be placed between Marvin hill and Haworth hill, but will also be closer than either of the adjacent buildings. The plan is to have a court or quadrant on the west end of the campus, with Haworth hill on the east Marvin hill on the west, and the new building standing on the south side of the square.
Goldwin Goldemith, professor of architecture and consulting architect for the auditorium, explained the plans approved by the board of redevelopment. She provided for a building with stone facade in harmony with the buildings on either side. The style of architecture will be somewhat like that of Watson library, and will blend with those of Marvin hall very pliably.
Interior to 10.
The building of the building will be distinctive by reason of the large stage 90 feet wide, which will dominate the front of the hall. The ceiling will be arched and will, according to the architectural facets, be accordingly satisfactory.
Interior to Be Distinctive
"This level space will in no wise interfere with the use of the building for assembly purposes, and will, in turn, allow for improvement over the all-stopping floor. Contrary to the idea which seems to be in some people's minds, this wood floor will not be temporary but stable between times when it is needed.
"The floor will be sloping, as in many churches and most theaters. A maple floor will be built above the planned floor level to extend the space of the stage."
Stage to Be a Feature
The level floor will be just as sofa as the floor of the gymnasium, but it can be torn out when its usefulness is ended. The level floor was not planned for use as a basketball playing floor alone, wrestling matches and other events which require a level floor space.
"The building will be completed with the present appropriation to have a seating capacity of 5000. A balcony will be built now and the additional balcony seating 1000 persons may be added later.
"The large stage was incorporated in the plans to take care of the community choir." For theatrical attractions requiring the regulation size stage, the opening will be narrowed by the use of curtains". Mr. Goldmilk must endorse.
Foster Requests Cards
Students should sign their grad cards in the Register's office before examinations close, otherwise they cannot receive them except through their parents," said George O. Foster this morning.

Students Must Sign Blanks to Receive Grades
The significance % of the several grades of scholarship, according to the card is as follows: A, marked excellence; B, thoroughly satisfactory; C, good average; D, passed; I, uncomprehensive; R, representing a repetition of the course.

Freshman-Sophomore Speech Meet Tryouts Will Be Held Feb. 2
"The preparation of the University catalog so early in the year is an unusual thing, but the demand for catalogs has been so great that we are entirely out of sections 1 and 2. Section 3 contains the list of students and faculty and is not prepared until after school closes in the summer."
Purpose Is to Give Everyone Chance to Participate in This Field
"The freshman-sophoraite speecemeth will be held Feb. 25 is something that is novel and has never been tried elsewhere to my knowledge," and Prof. E. C. B. Ushler of the department of speech and dramatic art.
The idea of the meet is to give those persons who would not have a chance to take part in similar forensics to the other parties, according to Professor Buehler.
"Forenses heretofoe have always consisted of intercollegiate competition and debate only has been featured Debate is only one phase. This year we are stressing the art of self-expression on the platform in three major ways: one speaking and debate, and an emphasing these through competition in two divisions, intramural an intercollegiate." Mr. Buchler said.
Troubles for the speech meet must be held from F. 2. All entries must be in by F. 1, according to Mr. Buehler and extemporaneous speaking.
Professor Buchler is well pleased with the interest and enthusiasm shown this year in forensics.
