The Missouri valley conference bas
ket hall schedule rails for the opening
games of the 1923 season Friday,
when Clrinnell and Missouri meet at
(irlnnell and Nebraska and Kansas
tangle at J.awrence.
The opening night has an added at
ti action to It, because Kansas and
Missouri, the two teams that tied for.
tlie championship last year, are both
meeting strong contenders for 1923
honors.
Ames will start its season Saturday
night, when It invades Norman to
play the strong Oklahoma out fit. The
Kansas Aggies will welcome the
t t’oriihuskers at Manhattan that night,
While Missouri will start Drake on its
way.
The Washington squad will not be
gin its valley operations until .lanu
ary 12. when It will receive the Soon
era In St. Louis.
Week on Hoards.
Luoking back over recent jears, it
Is intercsilng to note that Nebraska,
the school that has been setting the
pace on the gridiron, lias done very
little on the basket ball court. But
Nebraska's squad Is rated much bet
ter this year and will surprise sev
er.fl of the valley basket ball leaders
that pick the Cornhuskers for easy
meat.
Missouri lias been the outstanding
valley basket ball team for several
years, having lost only one game a
year for the last three consecutive
years. The Tigers have developed a
style of play that is hard to combat
and just as hard to learn. Although
Missouri has had Ihree different
coaches during the past five years, it
has c-ontinqed to keep its scientific
play, namely, the short pass.
The short pass has enabled the
Tigers to create an offensive that
penetrates the shooting area at will
and makes the Beqgale dangerous at
all times.
Have New Mentor.
Grtnnell adopted a form of the
short pass last year, but with a
change of coaches it is doubtful what
the Pioneers will do this year. They
have several good men, among them
several former star Council Bluffs
High school players.
The Jayhawks have always man
I aged to niako themselves dangerous
* regardless whether the play is basket
lutII or football or baseball or track,
and with Black, Body and several
other stars on the Kansas list, Law
rence is sounding a note of warning
to the valley.
Washington lost a practice game to
Illinois recently. It was not the out
come of .the game that interested
valley baseball fans, but the fact that
the Big Ten team, which, during the
post tew years has been at the byt^oni
of tlie western conference standings,
if making a desperate effort to make
itself heard on the basket hall court
through the engagement of Craig
Ruby, former Missouri star and
coach. Ruby is teaching the Mini
the short pvs* and he seems to he
doing g goo\l. >*b of it.
Three Contenders.
It is far too early to say who is
going to win the championship, but
from a few notes gathered from the
valley camps, it would not be hard to
pick a valley championship front Mis
souri. Kansas Aggies and Kansas.

Prospects Bright
for Purdue Runners i
% —————
Lafayette, InU., Pec. 23.—Prospects
are fairly good for a successful track
season at Purdue university, judging
from 'lire material that Is working
out under the direction of Eddie J.
O’Conner, track coach. The only
particularly weak department appears
to be in the shotput, while the dashes,
hurdles and distance runs apparently
are being well taken care of. The
pole vault and high jump events have
several promising candidates.
Purdue's success in the distance
runs, and also in the medley relay
event depend much on whether Cap
tain R P- Harrison, a crack half
miler, will be eligible by the time the
season opens. Illness threw the
Boilermaker track leader hack in his
studies this year, and he Is working
hard trying to get straightened out.
Jack Taylor to Box
Norfolk at Boston
_
| jack Taylor. Jack Lewis- promising
negro lightweight, will meet Kid Nor
f«Hk, winnter over Lee Anderson, in a
match at Boston Friday night.
Taylor went to Boston to fight Nor
folk, but Anderson, who previously
j had been matched to meet the colored
champion. shelved up on the scene,
jand the boxing commission held thpt
! Anderson was entitled to t^ie match.
Anderson agreed to fight Norfolk,
j but the promoters, having failed tg
j hear from Anderson for several weeks
| did not think ha intended to fill the
match, and therefore got Taylor.
On the strength of his draw with
Norfolk here, Taylor will meet the
I negro champ at Boston in the near
! future.
First Rugby Game Was
Between Tigers aud Rutgers
The first rugby football game played
was between Princeton and Rutgers in
1S69, according to Philip M. Brett.
lOach team had 25 men on a side. Rut
gers won, 42 to 16.
East vs. West
Holiday Clashes
Attraet Fans
Three Big Intersectiunal Tilts
to Be Staged on Coast Grid
irons—West Virginia Plays
Gonzaga Eleven Tomorrow.
Owing tq the enforced lull in col
lege athletic! caused by the holidays,
those interested in amateur sporta
will watch with interest results of the
three Intersectional footbull games to
be played on the Pacific coast in the
next seven days.
While some of the competing
elevens are not representative of
their respective sections, they are
good enough to warrant Interesting
struggles w hich should go a long way
toward determining the caliber of
football as played along the Pacific
coast and In the far east. In some
cases, teams which were beaten
early In the season improved so .much
last month that they undoubtedly
could have beaten the .elevens which
were victors earner in the year.
Of the three fur eastern teams
Which will invade the sunuy climes,
West Virginia, couched by Dr.
Speers, former Dartmouth player and
cuach, has the best record. The
Mountaineers, us West Virginia is
known in footbull circles, will nteel
Gonzaga of Spokane. Wash., at San
Diego tomorrow afternoon.
West \ irgiuia Undefeated.
West Virginia completed its sched
ule without defeat and has the best
chance to return home undefeated.
Early In the season. t%e Moun
taineers won from Pittsburgh, 9 to 6,
after a great struggle. It was the
first victory scored by West Virginia
over its rival in years and naturally
the result encouraged the players to
greater efforts with the result the
team won its remaining games.
Since the game with Gonzaga was
scheduled. Coach Speers has put his
players through strenuous practice
sessions. Tiie Mountaineers’ coach is
not the sort of mentor to have his
, record spoiled in an intersectional
clash of such importance and the
team should be in e-vcellenf condition
to play its usual high class article of
football.
Gonzaga is coached by Gus Dorais,
one of the best quarter backs in No
'tro Dame football history. The team
is not a member of the Pacific coast
conference hut has defeated elevens
of strength In Its section. It employs
the Notre Dame style of play in most
cases and indications are it will play
an aggressive game against the
Mountaineers.
Pittsburgh and Stanford at Palo .Alto.
On December 30 the scene of In
terest in California will shift from
the southern to the northern part of i
the state. Pittsburgh, which was a
great team at the close of the year,
will clash with Sanford at Palo Alto.
Karly in the season Pitt went down
in defeat by Lafayette and later by
West Virginia coaches in the game,
then showed his resourcefulness.
The Pitt mentor used all the genius
in his coaching makeup and reor
ganized his team to such an extent
that Syracuse. Bucknell, Geneva,
Pennsylvania, Washington and Jeffer
son and Penn State were beaten. In
the closing battle of the regular season
Penn State was beaten, 14 to 0. In
this game Pitt gave a remarkable ex
hibition of offensive and defensive
football. Penn State, a powerful
eleven, was unable to successfully
cope with Warner's eleven in the lat
ter part of the battle and succumbed
to defeat at the hands of a respected
tof.
Sanford also showed vast improve
ment at the close of the year. Al
though beaten by California, acknowl
edged champion of the Pacific coast
conference, the Palo Alto team fought
with such a determined spirit that the
Bears were forced to extend them
selves to win. This should be an In
teresting contest, because It is one of
the few intersectional contests if not
the only one ever played in the north
ern part of the state between represen
tative eastern and western football
elevens.
I'enn State at Pasadena.
On New Year's day Penn State and
University of Southern California will
clash at Pasadena in the athletic fea
ture of the Tournament of Hoses.
Penn State cannot be said to be as
strong as the teams which Hugo Bez
dek has developed in recent years.
Aside from the defeat by Pittsburgh,
the Nittany eleven lost to the Navy
and Pennsylvania.
Injuries had a lot to do with this
showing. Some of Bezdek's star play
ers were injured early in the season
and few recovered during the playing
seasotp Services of these men were
needed in almost every game and
some were injected when they should
not have played at all. However, the
team will have a month in which to re
cover, with the result Bezdek should
place a powerful eleven on the field
New Year's day.
Henderson Able Coach.
Southern California, under the able
coaching of Elmer Henderson, who
learned his football at Oberlin, has
had a successful year. Like other
elevens in the section, Henderson's
team was beaten by California aftet
an interesting struggle. It will be the
first time Southern California has
ever engaged in one of the east against
west struggles and the team Is sure
to make the most of the occasion by
playing its best brand of football.
The games .will be followed closely
by every,true lover of football, as the
results will bring the various sections
into a closer relationship of compar
ison.

veteran players will be lost to the
Kansas State agricultural college foot
ball squad this year by graduation

cleus around which to build his 1923
machine.
The nine veterans who have com

two men who have played under the
Purple banner for four seasons—

and John Brown, halfback.
Washington Loses

WHEN THE GLUH
DEFIED SCIENCE
■
Roughtonn Champion Had to Get
His Headache Tablets Made
In Boys' Size*.
All efforts to get The Glutt and
Siki Into ring, have cooled off. We
can't get Slkl, Carp and The Glutt
into one ring by himself.
It looks like Clemenceau's man
ly exhibition of eating eight hard
boiled eggs without wiping off his
chin, has made The Glutt ring
shy.
-
The Glutt's fighting ability seems,
to have fizzled loose from his ali
bis. But he la etill tough.
Only last week he was riding
his safety bicycles through Ari
zona's favorite desert when some
cyclone picked him up, an^ soon
he was riding two barns tandem.
It carried those barns and The
Glutt for 206 miles. It was so
cold riding the storm that Glutt
got malaria.
The Glutt and his pet bams were
blown into Tucaon and tight into
Dr. gmipp's office. Old I)oc Smlpp
asked The Glutt where his prescrip
tion was.
The Glutt pointed to his two
barns and said: “Fill that."
On one barn was: “Goomble's
Non-Partisan Pills for Man and
Beast.''
Other ham read: “Meeps Re
versible Headache Pondera In All
Sizes.”
The Glutt got his pills and tome
five-and-three-elghths size head
ache powders.
He was the only man who ever
got his diagnosis off barfs and hia
consolations through ternadoes.
Dr. Smipp's bill called for three
barns and two freight cars. The
Glutt paid him off when he received
his next hurricane.
There Is no doubt that he Is
tough.
Strong Prep Team.
Ames, la., Dec. 23.—Review of the
work done this autumn by the Iowa
btute college prep squad reveals that
it is by far the beat freshman aggre
gation that ever opposed a varsity
eleven here. Ames, therefore, re
gards to be very hopeful its football
| prospecta for the next few years.
Jayhawks Play
Creighton Here
Kansas University Gagers to
'Arrive in Omaha Next
Thursday.
Lawrence, Kan.. Dec. 23—(Special.)—
Ten members of the University bas
ket ball sbuad left for their homes tfiisr
week end with a neat little Christmas
present from Coach F. C. Allen in the
form of an announcement that they
had been picked from the varsity
squad to make the trip to Omaha
for the game with Creighton univer
sity. '
All the eix letter men out this sea
son will be among those present when
the Jayhawkers tie into the Omaha
lads on January 3. This means Capt.
Endaeott, named as all-valley guard

guard, and John Wulf, center, both
of whom were named on the second
all-valley mythical fives last year.
The other letter men are Bowman
and McDonald,, forwards, and Fred

wards, and Mosby. guard.
The Kansans will corns baok to
Lawrence the day after Christmas
and will arrive in Omaha abqut De
cember 28, for a few days of work
outs before the clash with Crslghton.
The outcome of the opening game
with Creighton is awaited with touch
interest here as the power of the
Kansas squad will be tipped off some
what after the battle with the Omaha
five. Coach Allen must develop new
forwards this season and whether K.
II. can equal her last season's record
of 16 games won and two lost, will
depend largely, It is believed, upod
the ability of the new forward ma
terial.

athletic meetings from an attendance
Standpoint.
The bare announcement that the
University of Southern California!
