Missouri valley basketball teams won five and lost eight of the non-conference contests played during the holidays. The results shed some light on the strength of the various valley teams this season.
The Huskers dropped a close game to the South Dakota five, in the openest. Not much being known of the game, they were taken the K. C. A. C. Husker game to furnish an accurate line on the Nebraska, Reputed to be a green team, the northern quarter certainly is competent in Convention balt Saturday night.
Huskers Could Not Hit
The Blue Diamonds shot their way to a 14 to 20 victory over the college boys. The Nebraska five fought hard, but absolutely could not hit the basket. On the strength of performances so far, the Cornhusher aggregation could hardly be considered strong contenders for the valley championship.
Bulldogs Look Good.
On their invasion into Iowa territory, the University of Illinois cagers got an even break on a pair of games. Coach Bill Boehler's team dealt he Hilliard to 16 points while they run the ball down the sideline and his quiet gunet not revenge when they swamped a slow Iowa State team 32 to 14.
The Bulldogs followed with a win over Chicago 27 to 26, Saturday night, which makes them look like a famous team. This is the first season of coaching for shooter at the Bay Area and they have been mighty successful so far.
The Iowa State prospects, on the other hand, are nothing to get elated about, the Cyclones losing two games about a close contest at Chicago. They dropped another to Creighton Saturday. The Ames five may come out of it and at least do better than they did last year. They couldn't do much
Missouri in Poor Form
The Missouri Tigers certainly have contributed their share to the valley defends this season. They made their debut when they lost an extremely oneided contest to Butler at Indianapolis Dec. 29. Butler had previously lost to Illinois and was not considered necessarily strong.
Missouri then lost a close battle to Parine, and seemed to be completely outclassed at Ann Arbor when they lost to Michigan 27 to 19. They have plenty of veteran players this year. You need them so see why they don't slow something better.
Aggies Win Opener
The Kansas Aggies seem to be off to a good start, but their victory over the northwestern floormen was not as impressive as many expected. Games Monday and Friday were in the southwestern team. It is strongly hoped by valley fans that the Farmer quintet will be able to turn victory over the strong Notre Dame team, which not lost a game this year, and has played quite a number of excellent games. Northwest lost a 38 to 21 game to the Irish.
Oklahoma turned in a 20 to 9 victory over Texas Christian University at Fort Worth Saturday. Coach Hugh McBernett has a wealth of veteran material including McBride, Sooner player with the LSU Trojans in 1922. The Sooners should give a good account of themselves in the valley race.
Grimellin, Oklahoma Aggies, and Washington have not opened their cages seasons yet. The Sooner Aggie team group is the strongest in the Pittsburgh Teachers, cracked up to be one of the strongest teams in the Kansas conference this season.
K. U. Students in Contest
By selecting eight out of the 11 members of Your all-time all-American football team in a contest conducted by the Kansas City Post and ending just after Christmas, Kenneth Simons, c26, tied for first place with four other selections. The prize was won by T. C. Mitchell, Jr., a graduate
of M. U., who was the first person to run in a list naming eight of You's mythical all-time all-American team. Lyle Fletcher succeeded in naming seven of the eleven members of the team correctly.
Jayhawk Talk
The Kansas varisty has been working hard with scrimage twice a day during the past week. There has been a couple of days, several fast games have taken place.
"The Tigers," last year's freshman team has been disorganized so that each man can be given a chance to show his worth on the first team. The team will be provided to provide some stiff early season scrimmage for the first team.
Al Peterson, lanky pivot man, has been going in great form. Peter's long suit is making follow in shots. He got 10 baskets in a scrimmage game the other day, and most of them were made by this route.
Doctor Allen's proteges showed off some of their practice drills down at Convention hall Saturday night between the halves of the Nebraska-K. C. A. C. game. With Zuber, Lattin, Peterson, Gordon and Burton lined up together they certainly looked like a beefy squid.
Some Tigers in the crowd brought a guffaw when they yelled "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, P. U."
Big Leo Latin is one of Doctor Allen's prospects at guard. This is Leo's first season out for basketball at Kansas. He is a hard conscientious worker, and has the frame to make a mighty guard.
One of the outstanding things in last week's practice was the way Cliff Campbell showed up at the forward position. In one of the scrimmage games Cliff got hot and dropped in the basket before the opposite team scored. It might be a loot shot that looks likely to Akerman's.
*Russell Seago, center on last year's Washington University cage team, will captain the Bears this year. He has been the team who, has been declared ineligible.*
It is hope that Cox will be in the "Baldy going next semester. He was considered minstrels
Bloe Willer's debut as head coach at Drake was what you would call a real hit with Des Moines basketball fans. The game was a pair of wins from Big Ten teams.
ered one of the best running guards in the valley.
They must play a local basketball game in the Big Ten. Local fans have always thought the town valley team played well, but schools seem to take the cake on making personalities. Illinois made 13 fouls in each of the games with Drake and Aaron, but only 4 checked 14 checked up against them in the game with the Kansas Aggies.
Captain Ekstrom was the outstanding player for the Huskers at Convention Hall Saturday night.
Inability of the Nebraskans to hit the hoop played a big part in their defeat. Te Husker forwards shot time after time but could not hit at all consistently. They certainly were outfighting the club team at the start of the second half, but a team cannot win on fight alone.
Tus Ackerman looked as if he was in his old form when he dropped through two arch shots which put the Blue Diamonds in front after the Huskers had taken a momentary lead at the outset of the game.
Westport High beat Central of St. Joseph in a preliminary game, 25 to 11. The Kansas City high school failed to show much except five or six fellows who look as if they could play wonderful basketball if they had to.
The crowd cheered loudly when an extremely tall boy by the name of Page was sent in at center for Nebraska. He got the tip off of Ackerman a couple of times before he left and it seemed as if he could not help it.
Holbert, Westport forward, showed himself to be a fine goal shooter and floor man. We hope he chooses the Jayhawk school when he gets ready to go to an institution of higher learning.
The Coleisman A. C. five, the team St. Louis is grooming for the National A. A. U. tournament this year, deserves a special mention for fourth victory this season. The stars of the St. Louis team are former Washington players. Jack Minner, forward, Al Marquardt, center, and forward, Thunser, guard, are the mainstays.
