Four Letter Men Try For Place
On First Valley
Team
Ten M. V. Games Scheduled
Ambitious Oklahomans Will Add Ten More Games to Program
Norman, Okla., Dec. 17 — Facing for the first time an opportunity to compete for the Missouri Valley championship, Bennie Owen's Sooner basketball squad, by far the biggest in the league, won a national competition in races for position positions.
Practice opened two week ago with six letter men ready for work and at least twenty other younger candidates eager to start work. Competition for every place on the squad is the keenest ever seen here.
Oklahoma's first Valley games will be with K. S. A. C at Manhattan, Kansas, January 23 and 24. On February 11 and 12, Oklahoma cagers meet Missouri at Columbia, and the next two days play Washington at St. Louis. Again on February 20 and March 5, Oklahoma plays S. S. A. C in the valley season with games with Kansas at Lawrence, March 5 and 6.
Captain Dorsey Boyle, center and forward, one of the most consistent men on Owen's team for the last two years, double-will place will for the center job. Maurice Bass, also with two seasons training, and William Cox, second year man, forwards, are back in practice.
Hugh McDermott, third year man,
Albert Briscoe, and Loake Walle have
had considerable experience in train-
ing against the Vastus in former
years.
Members of last year's freshman team who are back in school and in training are Ed Wante, center, Phil White, and Myron Ytler, forwards, Wissanne, Hristov, and Stahl, Rikki, Hirstow, Dick, and Kathan, forwards.
Clem Wright, Varsity forward of 1917, in school but will be unable to play because he was gassed while in service. Honer Risen, captain and teammate, who played for the team, will be intelegible because he received a degree last spring.
Ten games probably will be added to the schedule recently announced, it is believed. Four games will be played with the Oklahoma Aggies. two games here, and three games of the season for the Spoons will be here about January 9.

Ann Arbor Professors Put No Faith in Porta
Ann Arbor, Mieh, Dec. 17—Who is, Professor Porta, the man who predicted the end of the world for today?
Hundreds of cynics over the world asked this question today.
"He is not a professor at Amar
bar as the stories have said," officials
of the department of astronomy at
the University of Michigan de-
signed today.
"I never heard of him in a profes-
sional way—if he is a student of
astronomy to any great extent I
would know him," one professor said.
"There is absolutely no basis for
his predilection."

One Kansas school marm has demanded of the school board to furnish her with a gas mask to be worn during fire. It seems that among the boys in the district located some skunks under the school-house and proceed to set some traps. The boys were rewarded with several five dollar bills for their trouble. But the oder still lingers.

Business Managers Won't Say What the Owl Thinks About The Women
A Prohibition Number of the Sour Owl, the official K. U. humorous magazine, will be issued January 16, the day that constitutional prohibition of liquor goes into effect, announced Burt Cochran, business manager of the Sour Owl Board, this morning.
"The Owl Society, twenty representative junior men, have expressed their sentiment, as being not only in favor of prohibition of everything, in favor of prohibition of everything,
A large amount of original material, humor and art work, has already been created by the Board members, but much more is needed, according to Mr. Cochran. The senatorial section is not nearly complete as yet, and Mr. Cochran asked that all University students watch closely the actions of their K. U. friends at home, for any irregularities, and turn the material in to members of the Sour Owl Board. The dead line for copy will be about January 7, Mr. Cochran says, but copy is requested in immediately after the document. He says it will make any statement as to what policy the next Owl would take in regard to the loyalty and worth of the women of the University.
