THREE
HUSKER CAGERS TO MEET JAYHAWKS
SEPCKTT
By
Norman
Harris
Phog Allen is really worried
about tomorrow night, or else Jny
hawk publicity writers are trying
to pull a blind over Cornhusker
eyes.
In a release received yesterday
from the K. U. news bureau,
Horace Mason, sports editor of the
bureau, writes:
"The Jayhawkcrs. whose tall
est man barely reaches six feet
four inches, will probably just
sfand around and gape at Al
Randall, Nebraska's giant soph
omore center, who stretches six
feet seven up into the strato
sphere." None of the Jayhawks will stand
nrdund while Randall tries to get
rebounds! You can be sure of
that. The report says Allen is
"kept awake nights" trying to
think of a way to get the re
bounds away from Randall.
After going on at length about
the merits of the Husker team,
Mason rounds out his reports with:
"This aggregation constitutes
a formidable opponent at any
time and with Kansas playing
the kind of ball that it is, the
II u k e r g will be a decided
favorite."
Well, now, you can't ever tell
about things like that.
Two fair haired basketball
players who blossomed into star
dom when Oklahoma walloped
Kansas last Saturday are making
Sooner fans forget about the
Tennessee Orange Bowl game.
Herb Scheffler, six foot three
inch 185 pound transfer from
Springfield, Illinois, and Garnett
Corbin, five foot ten inch 168
sophomore from Oklahoma City
are set for prominent rolls in the
Boy Seat personnel this winter.
Seheffler's defensive rebound
play and his left-handed passing,
which started the Sooner fast
breaks was the high point of the
win ov r Kansas. He scored four
deft field goals while keeping Jay
hawkers from taking pot shots at
the Oklahoma basket on rebounds.
Corbin scored 16 points against
K. U., was tenacious on man-toman
defense and stole the ball
numerous times from Kansas for
wards. We noticed nn editorial in the
Kansas State Collegian, lamenting
the fact that K. U. athletic deans
were not holding fast to the rope
being tugged by other conference
schools in their athletic "stream
lining" endeavors.
Taking pride In the fact that
they were not mentioned as one of
the Streamliners, Iowa Slate sports
writers printed a statement that
the Wildcats were enjoying the
friendliest relationship in the con
ference. But Iowa State has stream
lined as much as any other
school and we use the word
streamlined without implying
anything distasteful concerning
the "sacred thought of amateurism."
We can't quite agree that I. S.
K. S. athletic relationships are the
friendliest in the Big Six not
nutil the Cyclone sports editor
takes into consideration the other

Pictured above are two more of Prog Allen's cagers who plan
to make it hot for Nebraska has ketballers tomorrow night in the
coliseum. Bob Allen is the famed coach's youngest son and first
string "quarterback" for the Jay haw kers. Reid is a dependable al
ternate at either forward or guard. Both men will see plenty of
action tomorrow night.
Alien Gives Basketball
New Term 'Quarterback'
Kansas Coach Makes
Center Team Director
LAWRENCE, Kas., Jan. 12.
The term "quarterback" is nothing
new in football, but it has been
only the last few years that the
term has been introduced into bas
ketball by Dr. Forrest C. Allen of
the University of Kansas.
The quarterback is a very im
portant unit in Dr. Allen's teams.
Since the elimination of the cen
ter jump, the Kansas center has
been the quarterback, inasmuch as
height is no longer necessary at
that position.
The Jayhawk center or quarter
back starts all the Kansas plays
and usually la the man who calls
them. Dr. Allen's teams use net
plays most of the time and much
of their success depends on .the
center.
The quarterback, consequently,
must be an exceptional passer and
ball handler. He must be able to
pass the ball thru the front line
of defense, with a minimum num
ber of interceptions.
Allen Directing.
This season, tho first string
Kansas quarterback la Bob Allen,
19 year old son of the coach. Bob
fills the bill in every detail. He
has been playing basketball since
his kindergarten days and handles
the ball smoothly and effortlessly.
Backing him up are Bruce
Voran, a Junior, and Lester Kap
pelman, two letter senior. This
gives Dr. Allen considerable choice
in his selection of the quarterback.
All three centers are six feet tall.
It is not necessary for the quar
terback to be an outstanding
scorer, but If he Is, so much the
better. The Kansas plays provide
the center with frequent good
shots, adding to the desirability of
playing the position.
Coolness is Imperative at the
quarterback position, as in foot
ball. The center has the ball much
of the time and consequently is
the target when the defense is
playing a rushing game. If his
team is trailing and defeat is im
minent, it is the quarterback's
duty to steady the team down.
Brains also are a big part of
playing the position. Sylvester
Schmidt, quarterback last year,
was one of the outstanding all
time graduates of the school of
business. Allen, Voran and Kap
pelman, likewise, are brilliant
students.
Beginning next fall, the Univer
sity of Michigan will inaugurate
an experimental tutorial system
modeled on the Oxford plan.
Big Six Title
Hopes Hang
on Outcome
Phog Allen May Pit
Five Seniors Against
Scarlet Here Saturday
Just how much of a chance Ne
braska stands to win or share the
Big Six basketball title will be in
dicated tomorrow night as Harold
Browne sends his skyscraping, but,
for the most part, inexperienced
gang against Phog Allen's title
holding Kansas quint.
After reading of the Jayhawk
defeat at the hands of Oklahoma
last week, Husker fans' hopes for
a victory bounded this week, but
Kansas still rules as favorite to
take the Husker's conference
opener.
K. U. veterans, with two cham
pionships tucked under their belts
arc never to be taken lightly, even
tho their record this year is not
on a par with previous seasons'
records.
The Huskers will have two
sophomores, one junior, and two
