Jayhawks Upset Dope by Winning Conference Title
K. U. Team, Supposedly an 'Outside' Contender Proves "Kansas Fights"
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS,SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 9. 1924
the basketball season for 1923-24 opened at the University of Kansas with but four letter men, Black, Ackerman, Mosby, on a team, on which he was the wieldy was the with the loss of Endacott, Wulf, and Bowman, it would be impossible for "Phog" Allen to build up a winning five. But whether confession or not, the students at the University would reply, "Kansas Fight."
Coach Allen took a group of men and started working them into complete teams with the Hillarys at St. Joe on Jan. 5. The team and coach worked hard during the Christmas vacation and when time came for the game all went to the valley champions of the last season, to see what they could do without Endacott, Wolf, and Bowman. When the final whistle of the game was blown the teams of the valley had won 25. Kansas, 25. Kansas and been beaten by a small margin by two former Kannas men, George Rody and John Wulf. Nevertheless, the valley began to wake up to the full force of the game among the leaders of the valley.
First Valley Game with Drake
The first conference game was played with Drake on an at-bat by a wonderful game, Kanae ensured with a 49 to 18 victory. Thus, Kanaa started immediately filling her "horn" columns with the best shots and with one of the contenders for the valley title. After a hard-fought game, Kanaa came from her contest with the United States in a victory for the Crimson and Blue. This game left most of the basketball fans weak and exhausted, and exclaiming that they did not know more of these "billing" games.
Hunkers Lack One Point
The fans had not fully recovered when the Huskies and the Tigers broke, the Kansas sound to a 19 to 18 victory for the latter. The credit for this game goes to "Tus" Ackerman. We have been playing less than half a minute to go. Tsusho shook off the Hunker guards and dropped a perfect shot through the hoop, saving a hard- fought game
The next game on Jan. 22, with the Kansas Aggles at Manhattan, was not as spectacular as it seemed. Not by napping the Aggles 30 to 21, Kansas went up to the land of the Huskies on Jan. 26 and helped them win the game by defeating them 13 to 10.
Missouri Pelt Is Added
On Jan. 29, we met our old rival, the University of Missouri, who made a brave attempt to place a game in the "loot" column of his team. Kansas kept up winning streak by a 16 to 14 win from the Tigers. This game was one of the kind where you yell until you lose your voice and then, you come back.
Kansas City, Athletic Club, interrupted the long string of victories on Feb. 5 by defeating the Jayhawks 31 to seven and defended by the national champions, it was said that Kansas gave the Blue Diamonds one of the hardest game of the season thus far.
Washington University from St. Louis came to Kansas on Feb. 7, Kansas five who the superior team of the valley was, but when the game was over the Pikers were on the short end of a 17 to 16 victory in the valley for the U.Kansans.
**Dayhawks** finally Meet Defeat
When the team went down in Oklahoma to meet the Sooners, they realised that they were meeting one of possible champions at a state tournament, at Novi, after the score of 20 to 20. After games the sport fans began to order if Kansas would have a home-shift after her first defeat, as did the of the valley schools had done.
if these same fans found out that was not discouraged by this
BOB MOSBY
(Continued on page 4)
Bob Mosby, another man who is a star in two major sport, was placed on the all-valley team in spite of the fact that injury has been a constant part of the season. This year Bob made his first letter in football at tackle, and played the game of match that utterly discouraged the fastest. These two qualifications led to the first letter in basketball this year. Although one of the biggest men on the court, yet Bob was also one on the fastest. These two qualifications led to the victory of the Valley. Doctor Allen says that in his estimation, Mosby is one of the best guardias that ever played on a Missouri Valley conference. Doctor weighs 109 pounds and is an even six feet tall.
VERNE ENGEL
Verne Erne was possibly the biggest surprise discovered by Doctor Allen this season. Due to his earnest desire to improve, and to "phog" Allen's knack of "making" into a ball player who is feared by every guard in the valley. Doctor Allen has spoken of Engle as being one of the "brainiest" players he has ever seen. When Verne goes into action on the court his brain is working so hard that he's going some. Engle comes from Abellone, weigh 150 pounds and is five feet, eight inches tall.
Kansas Athlete Picks Alt-Star Aggregation
It has been the custom in the past for the University Daily Kansas to print the All-Valley basketball teams select d by the Kansas City Star. This year, however, we take pride in presenting our own choice of the

He said five feet nine inches in his house slippers and come from Allon, Ill.
Charley Black, selected as captain and guard of the all-Vailey team, is characterized by Doctor Allen as Kanaan's greatest ally. He was a day of the great "Tommy" Johnson who has any one equalled Black's record of holding the captainics of two major sports during the same season. Johnny Hunt, a member of the mythical All-Vailey football and basketball teams, an ennobled record in itself, but this year he has garnered even more accolades. Of this year's football and basketball teams, was chosen as captain of the All-Vailey football team and is generally acknowledged as a logical candidate for the All-Vailey team.
Boat, 5,000 Years Old Found Still Undamaged
London, (United Press),—A boat, which experts say is at least 5,000 years old, has been found, undamaged in the mud at Elmley Farm. It is too small to be on the surface. It is eleven feet long and 3 feet wide, and has been hollowed out of the trunk of an oak tree. It was sewn into the banks of the Swale, a tidal river.
The boat is believed to be a bale of the Neolithic, or newer stone nage, which ended in England from 1360 to 1297. When bronze took the place of stone.

Freshman Squad Under John Bunn Aid to Champions
First Year Team, Playing
Opponents' Style Game
Give Experience
to Varsity
Basketball Champions of the Missouri Valley.
That is the little explanatory phrase that it attached o the name of the University of Kansas whenever speaking in the basketball world. It was conceded that K. U, and one of 'he best basketball teams' in the for 1923-24, and one of the reasons for this was the freshman team.
The freshman players under the coaching of John Bunn have made up one in years. Before such games as those with the University of Missouri, they were assigned to imitate the playing of such men as Fauret, Wheat, and other Missouri men who are known for their ability to play basketball. Then the freshman team would play Missouri's style of basketball as the team played with the varsity squad, thus giving the varsity a chance to play against Missouri style.
Albert Peterson, of Argentine high school, Kansas City, Kans., has been responsible to a great extent for the high place which that school has occupied in basketball in the state of Kansas for the last few years.
Have Good High School Records
Almost all of the freshmen who made numerous in basketball this season have been students in high schools last year. Three of them, Harold Schmidt, Hartley Carrter, and Harold Zuber, played on a varsity team that was ranked No. 10 of Kansas City, Kan., last year. Schmidt and Zuber were placed on the All-American high school team at the national tournament at Chiropractic College.
Missouri Furious Three
Three other members of the freshman team will play Campbell and Gale Gordon played on the team of Westport high school which won the state championship of Missouri, and was ranked fourth round in the national tournament at Chicago, James O'Bryce, the other man from Kansas City, Mo., came from Junior College. The defense player, Harold Testerman and Stanley Lindley, formerly of Lawrence high school, have both played well for the team. Kurt Kingman is going to give his brother, Rahal, a member of this year's varsity team, much competition next year if he plays as well with the team in season with the freshmen team this season.
McMannana and Herzie Play Well
Ted McMannan of Mulberry came to the university last fall with a big smile, but played player, but during the season has shown himself to be a guard of considerable merit. Harold Herzig, of Salina, has played a fast game and forward for the freshman team this
Thus, after looking over the entire freshman team it is readily seen why the variety team had to keep going all the time at a fast pace. The team has been with each record that they have entered with this season.
All Join In on the Chorus!
TU8 ACKERMAN
Tusten Ackerman, one of the forwards of the all-valloy basketball team. Last year "Tus" played at forward for Kansas, but this year he took the job of center which was left vacant by the graduating of "Long Jaw" and so unable to so able a manner that by the end of the year he and "Long Jawn" will probably be remembered as two of the greatest custers of the Valley. "Tus" has the long, lanky, build that is most desirable for a center; he is six feet three inches, and he plays for Kansas, he was a star of the Lawrence High school team.
WILFRED BELGARL
Wilfred Belgard, who has probably had the hardest kind of luck for an athlete. In his freshman year he broke his collar bone. An operation was needed and school for the rest of the year. Last year he received injuries in a moto cycle accident that kept him out of athletes for that year. This year he is returning from a misdirection mishaps and has proven to be a guard who allows the opposing forwards an absolute minimum of "but up," Belgard, like Mosby is in action. Belgard weighs 178 pounds, and is just one inch under six feet.
A firm stand for clean sportmanship has been taken by athletes of the University of Illinois.

The resolution also suggests a ban on letter men from founding universities be erased from the "Tribue" membership.
