THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1925 PAGE FOUR Jayhawkers Play Bulldogs Tonight With Confidence Team in "Fair Condition; Schmidt Probably Will Not Be Started in Game The University of Kansas basketball team continues its formidable drive for the Missouri talley title in ballpark tonight at 7:25 in Robinson gymnasium when it plays the Drake University Puildogs. Kansas is now thundering down the last stretch in the race for valley honors. If sufficient force can be minced to stem the next few en-blebs, it will little doubt that the valley title will go to Kansas again this year. On the face of the situation, it would appear that any team which beat the strong Nebraska team so far has lost two games with a "cellar gang" like Drake. So this season Drake has won two games and lost eight. This alone would seem to give Kansas a decided advantage over Iowa, but ten games and lost only one. Nevertheless there is a fallacy in trying to depe the Kansas-Drake game this evening by any such reasoning. Drake has lost eight games, but a strok of luck or magic might easily defeat a team which has host only one out of 11 games. Drake the week or so and, has been enjoying some preemptiness which is right now, he is not in the best clinical, and it would be a comparatively easy thing to drag the weakened Kan ans队 to defame this evening. It was understood at the athletics office this morning that the Jayhawks were in fair condition. Harold Schmidt, Kansas forward, is suffering with a serious cold. It was not determined this morning whether or not Schmidt would start the game against the Bulldogs. Captain Tui Peters was injured the same as it was when he started the game against Nebraska last Tuesday. The game with Drake is no less as a turning point to Kansas than the Hooker game. This is the last game in the series, and it can take for several days. The last round of the valley struggle will begin after the rest. So it is imperative to Kansas that they carry the colors, both tonight and throughout the battle toward their moving goal. Coach Ossie Solom, of Drake, is sending his Bulldogs into the game tonight to "get some Jayhawk meat." The Jayhawks, fattened by its recent prey, are plump and appetizing birds for Bulldogs. The probable line up 1 more coneat line up: Katie Ackermann Single or Schmidt f Peterson Belgard or Gordon g Wilkin g Drake Everett Shan Van Akker Mantz Ashby K. U. Grapplers in Action Squad Will Meet M. Y. M. C. A Team for Second Time The second wrestling match between the Kansas squad and the Kansas City, Mo., Y, M, C, A., promises to be one of the next of the ones. Although K. U. engaged in a fight with Tommy Rivera in Kansas City, Jan. 25, by a score of 16-13, the outcome tomorrow is far from being a certainty. Every member of both teams is in excellent condition. For the Y, M. grapplers, Polaris, in the 158 pound class, is expected to star. Brennfeld, a former member of the Colorado Aggregate team, and an experienced man. Bill Woffle, coach of the Kansas City boys, is the young man who has been attracting so much attention in sport circles recently with his claims of having perfected a hold that will be popular, present beauty-weight champion. As for the home team. All are in fine physical trim and considert of a strong attacking and growing string of victories. Captain Murray has not lost a match this year, while Merrill has not been defeated in a varsity match in two years* compete. Stoklas, 108 lbs., will probably be used in place of Craven in the fly weight division to gain experience for the meet with Missouri.

Aircraft Conference Expects Disposition by President Coolidge Independent Air Service Issue Reaches Climax; Mitchell May Resign --game with Nebraska Tuesday night, shows that Kanaas made 33 alts at the basket in the first half, while Na Washington, Feb. 15–President Coolidge today was expected to place a cool hand on the feverish heaw of the aircraft conference in Washington. Entrance of the executive into the melee appears unavoidable in view of reports circulated from the house aircraft committee that Mr. Coolidge was faced with this ultimatum late yesterday; Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air service, must either resign, accept demotion, or be appointed. Weeks will step out of the cabinet. The issue—whether or not there shall be an independent air service—will be represented as being near the explosion point, with Weeks and Wilbur ranged in great indignation over the pilot attacking air service leader on the other. Mr. Coolidge, according to an announcement alleged to have been made in a secret session of the aircraft committee, was to summon White House officials. White House today and give him chance of resigning or accession denomination. There was a great stir with its confirmation of the report procurable from Weeks, Wilbur or the White House. Judges Praise Contest Competition Keen in Orations Says Gilkinson Judges of the oratorical contest, Prof. A. M. Tolleson and Prof. Walter Sandollie, of the department of political science, and Prof. Bryan A. Gillimon, of the department of public speaking, agreed that the context in the question was pressing. Competition for first and second places was very strong, according to Professor Gillimon "Tex" White's oration,"Politics and Education" was a general discussion of the political control of state unifiers. His presentation focused on the situation in Kansas. White led the delegation of students to see Governor Paulen, and made the plea for Charcoal Liberty's reinstatement. His knowledge of the difficult subject, with the removal of the Chancellor, Prof. Gillimon pointed out, will give his talk special importance. "The development of White's' talk should be of very special importance to the people of the University because it is an important tool for us," and Professor Gikanson. "It will differ from the usual theoretical discussions that are given in historical contexts, because they are not specific to the purpose and purpose, given by a student who is well qualified to speak on the subject. It will be in a word, a well articulated speech, and consequently should have strong appeal at the final contest." The Kansas Agies invade Kansas City tonight to play the Scholes on the Armory court. The Agies have been in a slump lately and are tackling a pretty tough opponent in an attempt to get started again. There are three men in the sports field today who always deliver the goods. They have the big punch, they have Jack Dempsey and "Foley" Allen. Sport Notes 20. Kamane made 38 shots at the basket in the first half, while Nebraska took 29 chances. In the second half Nebraska shot 58 times while Kanae made 22 attempts to pocket the sphere. During the entire game Kanae made 16 chances to score and made 37 shots. At 58 times and made 11 field goals. Harold "Red" Grange is reported seriously ill at Richmond, Mich. It will be a hard time to Zappler's hopes in the state to survive. An analysis of the shootings in the Missouri has it doped that Kansas will win the dual meet by three points. Kanaa has it figured that Missouri should win by three points. The difference seems to lie in whether Forsman will beat Brandon for two points or jump a few steps before Phil oller in conversation Hall Wednesday night. Crossword Puzzles a Menace McGill University has been sniffed with the crossword puzzle cruiser, an academic line. It has been found that most of those who have failed lately in their examinations were devotees of this pastime. A group of young man has found this fad so objectionable that a club is being organized to stamp out its practice on the campus. The Gloucester School of the Little Theater, Gloucester, Massachusetts, is again offering two free scholarships to undergraduates of American schools and colleges for its sixth season, July, and August 1925.
