Stiff Competition for Court Games Promised in East
Football Season's Heroe Lost Sight of With Popular Indoor Sport Near
By Henry L. Farrell
(United Press Sports Editor)
New York, Dec. 16.-With the football season out of the way for another year, basketball jumps into first place in intercollegiate athletics because of the increase of interest in the game it is reasonable to assume that the popular court game will share in the great patronage that made football the great ranking national sport of 1924. Stiff competition which made the football season so inflamed in the various conferences is promised also for the basketball season.
The championship in the Eastern Intercollegiate League is looked upon as being wide open, Cornell, winner of the title last season, has two veterans back and a flock of fine new material. Princeton and Columbia have veteran teams, and Dartmouth has seven players left from last year's squad. Yale has only three players left and Pennsylvania has only a few reliable veterans. Ohio State, with last season's team, has been awarded the National Conference championship with Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin looked upon as serious contenders.
Western Schools in Break
The break in relations between
California and Stanford with the
University of Southern California
has upset the situation on the Pacific
side, but conditions Southern
California will have to conti-
nue competition to the Pacific Northwest conference.
California won the championship last year and is looked upon as the favorite to repeat.
Centre College Offeasive Good
In the confusion of a great success that was marked by exciting intersectional competition and brilliant teamwork, the notice were overloaded. The Centre College team, one of the big no-no's a few years ago, was one of them who managed to lead the leading sectional teams that has not been treated justly.
George Japin, a hustling young booster for Centre, presents a claim for recognition which has a lot in it for just consideration. "During the season just closed," he writes, "only one team, West Virginia, crossed Centre's goal line. In stopping Alabama, Centre checked one of the finest offensers in the country, Alabama never got beyond Centre's 48-yard territory. Centre used only twelve players in the game, one substitution being made in the last minute of play.
"The team was brought abloom slowly, reaching its 'finest form in the Alabama and Georgia game. It beating Georgia and Alabama, Centre certainly won a just claim for the Southern championship, as Georgia had beaten Alabama, Vurman, Man, Virginia and Adaurn, and Alabama and won Mississippi, Georgia Tech, and Kentucky."
Charley Moran New Coach
Untraditional Moran New Coach
Jeffrey R. Wade, 53, played alumnus, including Cheryl Moran, who went to Bucknell, as the lead coach. Myers was athletic director and Moran's right-hand man all the time he was at Centre. It was Myers's second year at Weaver in high school at Fort Worth. He is a quiet, likable chap, who has a tremendous influence over his players. Harold Ofdie, a former Worcester end, acted as the line coach and hand numbered only twenty players.
"Seven varsity players played their last game last fall. Covington, Lyrch, Lemon, Thomason, Kunledge, Gordy and Rubarb graduate next June. During the four years they have played, Centre only live two times to Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Auburn, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Covington and Kubale Stars
"The difficulty in obtaining players to take their places can be realized when it is known that Centre has only 220 students.
"Herb Covington, this year's quarterback and Kubale, center, are all American material. Covington has made the best quarterback for two seasons and he played even better this year. He was the best ground gainer in the South, a great kicker and punter and first-round pick. Alabama pairs against West Virginia and 16 in the Alabama game, one best than Alabama made in the entire game.
Notre Dame Micks Grab National Title
Send the Daily Kansan home.
For the first time since football was originated in this country in 1871, a national championship title has been awarded to one certain school. Several eastern schools in the past have given this title by sport writers of eastern papers, but not by fans. They are unable to receive this award from sporting interests in all sections of the country.
The Micks have the only team that has not been defeated or tied during the season just finished, and they have defeated many of the strongest elevens in the country. Here is a list of champions throughout the country:
Missouri Valley—Missouri.
Western Conference—Chicago.
Kansas Conference—Pittsburg.
Bier Three—Yale.
East—Yale, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania.
Southern Conference—Alabama
South, independent—Center.
Southeastern Conference—Baylor
and Southern Methodist.
Pacific Coast-Stanford.
Rocky Mountain Conference—University of Colorado.
Pacific Northwest—Gonzaga. Little Three—Williams.
Veather Bureau Says Indications for White Christmas Are Slight
Nine of Fifteen Christmas Days
Were Clear, Says
Meteorologist
The chances for a white Christmas are considerably less than ever if past records are any indication. According to the records of the weather bureau, there have been only 30 Christmases since 1900 that have had any snow and only four of these 'have been "white Christmas."
Nine of the fifteen Christmas days have been clear while in 1910 and 1920 there were light rains. In 1910 here was a heavy fog in the morning but the day turned out to be warm and fair. The temperature in winter that room was above freezing and in 1922 it reached a maximum of 65.
The heaviest snow was in 1918 when seven inches fell on the night of Dec. 21. The only other heavy snow was in 1936, five inches on Christmas day;
"I am sorry," said Prof. C. J. Posey, state meteorologist, "that more complete statistics are not available. It would be very interesting if we had the complete data since I have no information usually impossible to obtain this data.
Blood Curdling Deed Perpetrated in Snow
It is a blood curdling act. However, most of those who have witnessed or participated in it say it is more of a comedy than a tragedy.
The play has made a long run in its present location, having been presented one hundred times, and then in many other locations. The leading role is passed about from actor to actor. The hero wends his way about the corridors on the second floor of Snow hall, through the doorways, up into the animals into a back room. Here he silently and with the resolute and determined look which all heroes should have, sets himself on a high platform, sets the entrance of th leading lady.
No further cue is necessary. She appears either from right, left, or center stage, it makes no difference, carrying test tubes in a rack and a small needle. With a deft touch of force, the skin of the heroine virtually painlessly removes a few drops of life blood from the heroin's finger tip. Placing the blood in one of the tubes she dismisses him with a "thank you" and a gracious bow. The here then makes his exit with a dignified displaying pride and honor. He has made his contribution to science!
During the change of scenery, the heroine, who is a student doing research in biology, makes agglutination tests on the blood. The data is to be used in connection with the investigation of problems relative to scarlet fever.
The next scene is enacted at the closure of the hero. Again, coming through the maze of partitions he enters the inner room. Here he is given the test to determine if he is susceptible to scarlet fever.
Men and women students of bacteriology and zoology, faculty members, and freshmen and sophomore students have qualified for roles in the play.
In the closing scene, the hero has the stage all to himself. In a triumphant voice he declares his past military record and reports the result of the test.
Basketball Squad Takes on Members of Football Team
Several Gridiron Players Report for Practice After a Week of Rest
Coach "Phog" Allen's basketball squad has been enlarged in the last few days with the addition of several members of the 1924 football team.
Harold Zuber, center on the national high school championship team Kansas, has been scheduled last Saturday, "Twins Starr, guard on the Hutchinson team which played Kansas City, Kan., in the finals for the state high school football championship game only after an extra period of play, and Wade Cloud and "Nenny" Baker, both members of the basketball team Kansas Kan., reported last night.
Dr. Allen advised the football me to take a rest of a week or ten days before any of them reported for basketball work. Other football men who have reported for the basketball season in Jackson, Sanborn and Harald Baker
Wikins Woks at Guard
Verne Wilkins, veteran of two seasons, was appointed at guard instead of his regular forward position. According to Coach Allen, he is showing more than ordinary ability at that position and it is being used.
Many Out for Forward
"Phor" also has an abundance o. material for the 'corner positions.' In 1972, he made a man, this year's captain and all Valley and all-western forward of last year, Vernie Enele, "K' man and regular on last year's sound; Campbell, Wright, Hits, Hodges and Jarre were on the cond last year I had have considerable experience.

Prouft and Schmit, also members of the national championship high school team, are ineligible for varsity play but are working out with the squad with the intention of becoming eligible for next semester's team to win a placing well and will probably be made of calls to Coach Allen squad.
