From the Iowa state Dally
Student sports column called
"Loopin," by Bernie Kooter, we
notice a statement concerning
Oklahoma' letting their football
season go to Itt head. Mr. Ho
ot's reason for thii statement
as the Sooner ichool'i lack of
representative at the recent Big
Six meeting In Kansas qity. Mr.
Ko'-ser It right and deserve!
credit for bringing the incident
to light. Oklahoma football this
vear was not an indication that
Oklahoma will be a national
football figure from now on. A
tew more successful seasons,
consecutive, too, may justify
their not attending Big Six
mrefngs and their changing
their stadium into a bowl. . . .
and Oklahoma A. A. M. may
lick the Sooners in a couple of
years, so the suggestion at Ok
lahoma that the Aggies be
dropped from the Sooner sched
uis is none too wise. Through
Nebraska's long reign over Big
Six football .the Huskcrs were
still plain enough to send their
reps to conference meetings and
haven't yet thought seriously of
changing Memorial stadium Into
a bowl.

was talked to personally, altho
there's really nothing wrong
vvith that. More power to the
Cyclones. They put football
togs on the boys and found out
just who was best at this and
that . . . with a football going
to the winners.
Reports from Kansas City say
that Ralph Miller, Jayhawk ".soph
omore football and basketball
flash may he able to hit the hard
wood yet this winter. Doctors in
Kansas City have hit on some sort
of an elastic brace with an alum
inum knee rap. This news isn't
rxartly pood news to the rest of
the conference, hut methinks the
apoits at the other Rijj Six schools
will he clad to hear that Miller
will play.
The lad averaped nearly 20
points per frame during; three
years of high school, and that's
really sensational.
Dr. L. B. Mitchell, head of the
classical languages department
at New Mexico University,
delved into ancient archives to
discover the possible beginning
cf football in ancient Creece.
Dr. Mitchell quoted excerpts
from Athanaeus describing an
organized game which must
have used an Inflated ball with
teams of several players each,
and forward passing and prob
ably lateral and backward pass
ing. Great are the exertion and fa
tigue attendant upon contests of
ball playing, and violent twist
Ing and turning of the neck," the
ancient document says In de
scribing a strenuous game in
which Greek youths passed a
ball from one to another, the
object being to seize the ball
and carry it away.

season against South Dakota Sat
urday night, Coach Browne put
them through a torrid workout and
scrimmage at the coliseum last
night.
Captaining the Cornhuskers
against the Sodaks is Alton Wer
ner, senior forward from Kansas
City, Kas.
Ineligibility Feared.
While hopes of taking the squad
from Vermillion are high, the
team will be hampered by the
probable ineligibility of .limmy
Taylor, diminutive fonvard from
Hastings, and Al Randall, 6 foot
7 inch center from Omaha. Ran
dall's eligibility may be approved
by game time, however.
The starting lineup as it now
stands will have flame Captain Al
ton Werner and Rill Kovanda, for
wards; Al Randall, center; Don
Fitz and Rob Klliot, guards.
Kovanda, Klliot, and Werner are
seniors while Randall and Fitz
are sophomores, receiving their
initial fire Saturday night. Ko
vanda and Werner are regulars
from last season while Klliot,
hampered by a knee injury won
a minor award. Randall will
capably fill the shoes of Floyd
Kbaugh, while Fritz gives prom
ise of carrying out his job as well
as Rob Parsons, all conference
guard last year.
Sodak Threat.
In Maynard Ingalls, star for
ward, the Sodaks have a threat
to any ball club. He scored 16
points against Nebraska last year
and this season has been going at
Gwinn Henry, Athletic
Director, Assumes Post
Gwinn Henry, athletic director
at Kansas university for the past
year ami a half, will replace Ad
Lindsey, present .Jayhawk coach
as soon as the university's regents
formally approve the athletic
board's shakeup, in which hut one
member of the present coaching
staff, Mike tie! to, was retained.
I,indsey had boon at Kansas sev
en years, and agitation for his re
moval had been growing since
mid-season. Kansas lost six of its
9 games, and upset Kansas State
for its only Rig Six victory of
the season.
Henry came to Kansas in 1037
from New Mexico university,
where he had gone from Missouri.
There he led the Tigers to their
only Rig Six title, and during his

Fans tomorrow night will be
treated to more than a basketball :
game if Carl 'Rube' Hoy. Smilll'
Dakota coach, is in form and he
probably will be.
Hoy, who will assist in the bas

morrow afternoon, wears about'

on the other, Hoy gyrates, chat-i

If Lloyd C.rii-.ii gets in 1he

then will be deriding whether to

Sodak coach.

just answered, "Thank you very
much."
