The Kansas Jayhawks have pulled
the trick. Starting out the season
in anything but a startling fashion,
the basketeers from the wind-swept
state have climbed into first place in
the Valley race, and it looks very
much as though they might be there
when the pennant race ends next
month.
The team that Coach "Phog" Allen
put in the field this year went out
in front of the pack Saturday night
by winning a fast game from the
Oklahoma Sooners at Norman.
The Valley race has now narrowed
down to three teams. The Jayhawks,
Sooners, and Kansas Aggies all have
a chance for the title. Each team
has lost two games, and they all
stand a chance of being defeated
again. Kansas, however, has a slight
edge, in view of the fact that Coach
Allen has scheduled four extra games
for his men and if they remain un
defeated they will have a higher per
centage at the end of the season.
Meet Kansas Saturday
Nebraska finished the week in
fourth position as the result of two
losses and one victory. The Hus
kprs dropped games to the Kansas
Aggies and Missouri and won over
the Washington Bears. Only one
game is on the Nebraska schedule
this week. That will come Saturday
night when Coach Bearg's men will
tangle with Kansas at Lawrence.
Clark Smaha, Husker scoring ace,
let it be known during the week that
he would make a bid for Valley scor
ing honors. In three games Smaha
gathered thirty-eight points and he
jumped to fifth place among the in
dividual scorers.
The Huskers rank seventh in of
fensive strength, and third in defens
ive ability according to statistics re
leaser Monday.

Three Defeated
In Basketball
(Continued From Tage One)
for each team. An extra period was
necessary. Nothing was done until
just before time was up, when Kon
kel flipped in a difficult shot for
Alpha Sigma Phi, winning the game.
The Delta Tau Delta-rhi Kappa
Tsi game was also interesting. The
teams were evenly matched, and
both had some hard luck. The Thi
Tsis started out in the lead when
Shepard slipped in a rretty shot from j
the sidelines. Holm failed to increase
the score on a free throw. Fell- j
man evened the score by caging a
field goal. Olson scored one more
for the Delts on a gift toss. Mar- j
row added two by flipping a nice
one from the side, lhe game was
rather rough. The Delts missed sev
eral short shots. Holm ducked
around the guards, and made a neat
shot for Fhi Kappa Psi, the half
ended 5 to 4 in favor of the Delta
Tau Delta team.
Fighting in Last Half
In the last half, both teams were
out for blood. Holm scored first,
by dribbling through for a field
goal. Marrow kept the Delts in lead
with two more points. The game
continued to be rough. Shepard and
Zust were both fouled. Shepard
missed two and Zust caged one. This
counter tied the game. The Phi Psis
took the lead when Shepard scored
on a nicely played shot. They did ,
not stay there long however, as
Olson, of the Delts, scored two
points and evened the score. Just
shortly before the game ended. Fell
man caged one for Delta Tau Delta,
which put the game on ice. The
final score was 11 to 9.
The last game of the afternoon
was not up to the standard of the
other two, as excitement goes. The
first half was fairly close, ending
eight to six for the Delta Chi quintet
Collins of the S. A. E. bunch was
the main point maker for them,
while Fisher and Voeder were high
for the Delta Chis. The Delta Chis
tightened up on the defense in the
last half, and held their opponents
down, while they scored five points
themselves.

fifty men whom we employed can
read and write. Those who profess
to read can barely make out the
headlines of the papers, and the ti
tles of the moving pictures. They
all love to talk and argue. That
gives them a lot of pleasure."
Movies are popular, Mr. Matheny
discovered. The favorites are Am
erican wild-west films full of excite
ment, although some English and
Spanish pictures are also shown.
They get a few first-class American
pictures such as are shown in first
run houses in the United States. The
majority, however, are serials. The
prices are about the same as here.
The equipment is a decade or so be
hind ours. After every reel they
stop and change spindles.
"Caracas, the capital city," he re
laated, "is one of the most beautiful
cities I have seen. It is 3,500 feet
above sea level, and about twenty
five miles from the coast. It is high
enough to be cool, and is a clean city
for the tropics."
Brightly Colored House
The houses are painted with bright
colors which would seem out of;
place here. Brilliant red, perhaps
with a border of glittering yellow
may be the color scheme of a house.
The atmosphere, he says, causes the
colors to blend in an effective and
pleasing manner. It is a very pretty

You'll enjoy the scarfs

they'll serve you anew.
Delightful in coloring.
Startling in their combi

pose. Plenty of new scarfs

sight, he remembers, to see a group
of gaily painted houses.
"Every town and city lias at least
one statuo, especially of Bollvares,
their national liberator," was a fur
ther reminiscence. "There is a.
plaza or public squaro in every com
munity, about which are grouped
tho monuments. They do not like to
have foreigners loiter around the
statue. I once observed a group of
Americans leaning against the base
of a monument. In only a short
time a policeman camo up and asked
them to move on. Natives are not
molested."
Caracas itself is the hub from
which radiate many modern im
provements. There are roads in all
directions. All the new ones, accord
ing to Mr. Matheny, are built of con
crete, and are thirty to thirty-five
wide. '
Improved By Fore ign Capital
The countrv is steadily being im
proved by the inflow of foreign cap
ital which is exploiting the oil and
mineral wealth of the land. All the
rights are vested in tho national
I government which sells leases to the
big companies. The oil industry is
in its infanccy, states Mr. Matheny.
"The Lngo concession is right on
Lake Maracaibo," he described.
"Wells are drilled inside caissonr
sunk to the bottom of the lake. The
operations are expensive, but well
worth the cost. Out of thirty wells j
that were sunk when I left, there was
not a one which was dry." I

The oil prospecting work con

After staying there a few years, the
Americans cannot get used to living
quiet lives again, thinks Mr. Math
eny. He is planning to go back
thero in Juno after graduation. They
all like the game, but are glad to get
hark to tho United States. "A per

great old country the United States
is until he gets away."

The six departments competing in
tho tournament are Agricultural

tion.
Wednesday, February 17, the first
two games of the tournament were
played. The Animal Husbandry
Hm romned over the Vocational
Education team, and the Rural Eco
nomics easily defeated the Ag en
gineers. Thursday, the two winning
teams had a much stiffer battle when
the Animal Husbandry bunch met the
Dairy Industry team, and the Rural
Economics met the Plant Industry
The Animal Husbandry team
barely mnnaged to defeat tho Dairy
team by the small margin of six
noints. and the Rural Economics won
their game with a score of 16-9.
Tho final strugglo between the
Rural Economics and the Animal
Husbandry teams will probably be on
Wednesday, February 24.
Mr. Godding, speaking of what the
committee hoped to do next year,
said, "By that time we expect to
have a new field house on this cam
pus which should aid us considerably
in geling the new fellows started.
Our idea is to make the tournament

ample trophy to the winning team.
