KANSAS MUST PLAY REAL BASKET BALL

Kansas City Team Composed of Veteran Goal Tossers. Goldman and Minton Star.
Friday night, in Robinson Gymnasium, Hamilton's goalkeepers will mingle with Henry Ashley's Kansas City Athletic Club Quintette.
For the past four seasons these rivals have been meeting in two struggles for supremacy, annually. The results have been generally favorable to the university men; last year, however, each team won upon its own court.
Kansas must play real basket-ball in this game. The red and blue representatives will have to do that, and more, to win. In the Nebraska games as in the Baker contest the Kansas team showed a wooof lack of team work and at the same time a wonderful amount of individual playing ability. The fact that the Kansans were weak in team play was caused by their enforced idenness during the time that the gym was closed. Every night since the building was opened has found the team hard at work and by Friday night they should be at top form and playing championship basketball.
The Kansas team this year was handicapped at the start by a lack of veteran varsity players. But the early troubles did not lie there entirely. The men who were expected to play the strongest game at the opening of the season were the Cincinnati Brown and Greenlee have thus far excelled their older team mates.
The battle for center position is still in full swing between Hite and Boehm. The former is a little faster on court work than his rival, while Boehm is more successful on the tip off. Both men are in the first rank and will be on the varsity squad. Hite may be used at forward a part of the time.
The Blue Diamonds are without question the star basketball team of the Western Amateur Athletic Union. For many years they have held that position. The men who make up their team are veterans of the basket ball court. Henry Ashley the Coach knows basket球 from one end of the rule book to the other, and a few things that are not in print beside.
The two men who are best known here are Goldman and Minton. Goldman is a particularly dangerous man at forward, being tall and rangy, and having a disconcerting habit of shooting goals with either hand. It is a large contract for two men to care for Goldman when he is working right. Minton is an alert, nervous, guard who keeps the opposing forward in a state of considerable discomfort during the game. Other men on the blue side, including Billie, L. Smith at forward; Cradock, and P. Smith centers and Terte, Fogel, and Craid guards. Which of these men will be in the game at the first whistle will probably not be decided till the team gets on the floor.
As a curtain raiser for the K. U.
Blue Diamond game the College
teams will meet the Terrible Swedes
for its next chany, this game will be called at 7:45.
On Saturday night the Varsity will meet the Kansas Aggies out the local court.

BASKET BALL SCORES
Conference Teams Have Played Nine Games-Only Five Championship Contests.
The result of the basket-ball games played between the Missouri valley teams to the present time seems to point to Nebraska and Washington University as the probable leaders of their respective sections. Each of these universities has two assistant senators of another school in their section of the conference.
Drake appears to be hopelessly out of the running having lost to both the schools in her section. Ames lost two to Missouri and won one from Drake. Missouri lost two games to Washington. Nebraska has defeated Drake in two battles and won twice from Kansas. The Kansas-Nebraska games and the Missouri-Ames contests are not to be compared, however as the contestants were in each case in different championship divisions.
The result of the valley games played thus far are as follows:
Nebraska 42 Drake 24
Nebraka 35 Drake 14
Missouri 25 Ames 24
Missouri 18 Ames 10
Ames 23 Drake 11
Nebraska 30 Kansas 26
Nebraka 30 Kansas 27
Washington 30 Missouri 12
Washington 34 Missouri 14
Only five of the games played to date will be counted in the championship. These are the Nebraska-Drake, the Missouri-Washington, and the Ames-Drake contests.
NEBRASKA CO-EDS TO
ABANDON TRACK MEET
Girls Were Preparing for Inter-Sor-
orty Relay When Committee
Called the Race Off
Nebraska co-eds are wondering just who is the goat.
who is the chair.
The committee for the Charter Day track meet announced a few days ago that there would be an inter-sorcery relay race this year at the meet. All sorceries were urged to begin practicing at once for the great event. The sorceries took this seriously enough as a duty to their school, and several applications for the use of the Gymnasium were filed with the committee.
The committee was then forced to explain. So yesterday morning postal cards were sent to the various organizations, urging tham to select a relay race or to represent a relay race, or to have one selected for them.
Now will someone please enlighten the fair coads==> Is the joke on them or is it a teammate?

Intercollaborate Champion Pole Vault
Inter Probable Captain of Track
GARDNER MAY LEAD YALE
Robert Gardner, intercollegiate champion pole vaulter, is almost certain to be elected captain of the Yale track team, succeeding Clarence Childs, who recently resigned and left college to go into business in Syracuse.
Childs, who was the team's stunner, thrower, accompanied the Xaliers.
The choice for his successor will be made in a mail vote of the players who were qualified to vote last June by reason of having won points in the meets against Harvard and Princeton.
Girls Will Buy Sweaters.
At the State Agricultural College the girls have formed a club, "The Rooters," to buy sweaters for the college heroes and to help the athletes on the field by rooting. All the girls who believe that the athletes deserve some token from the students as a reward for their services have joined the club and are raising the money for the sweaters by membership fees and dues.

BAKER COMING FOR FIRST INDOOR MEET
Methodist Squad Will Oper Track Season in Gym February 6
TRYOUTS WILL GET A CHANCE
Teams Will be Allowed to Enter Unlimited Number of Contestants In Each Event
The Kansas track season will open Monday February 12. At that time the K. U. athletes will meet Coach Saherer's Methodists in the Gym.
The meet will be a sort of a try-out affair for the purpose of giving the coaches an idea of the performances of their respective teams in actual competition. The teams will enter as many men as the coach sees fit in each event in order that all the candidates for regular places on the varsity may have a chance to know what they can do.
While there are no championships to be settled by the meet, it will be watched with considerable interest as an index of the track possibilities of the red and blue this season. In previous years the Kansas team has had little difficulty in overcoming the Baker men in this meet. This year the Bakeries are boasting of a strong aggregation while the Kansans are weak in several departments. Several men of promise are now working on the sprints but as a result we have sufficient class to assure a position on the track. The long distances also offer ample opportunity for work on the part of aspiring athletes.
The only events in which Kansas actually shows strength at the present time are the quarter mile and the high jump. In the first of these events there are four good men at work. More men are needed for this event nevertheless the relay team, as well as the men who run the regular event,
must be drawn from the quarter tryouts. It may be that at least one of the men now running the 440 event will have to be drafted for the half mile.
Kansas prospects in the weights have taken a rise since the return of Bowers has been announced. The team has been a winner for Ammons in the shot and discus.

GRIFFIN PICKS NEBRASKA
Drake Coach Says Cornhuskens will
Be Valley Basket Ball Champs
Michigan is carrying on a chess match by mail with the University of Chicago. One move is made each day.
According to Coach Griffith of Drake, Nebraska has the winning Missouri Valley Conference basket team team. "It looks like Nebraska for the championship of the valley. The score of our recent game does not indicate the fight put up by our men, but we were badly outclassed. However, the Nebraska floor was much smaller than ours and I will predict that they will win every game within it, for they know how to use every inch of space. Owen Frank and Gibson are both football players who have made good in the line of basket-tossing."
