1110 R R were some
changes in the Mis
souri Valley stand
ings the last week,
hut the two lead
ers, Mash ington
and Kansas, dung
tenaciously to the
top rung of the lad
der, the Pikers of
St. Louis winning
fiom Grlrtnell, the
Jayhawkers from
Kansas Aggies and
Nebraska to main
tain their respective
perfect ratings.
While Kansas was coining
through clean the Jay hawker quin
tet was likewise embellishing its
record of 32 consecutive victories
during the last two seasons—a rec
ord which justifies any college
basket ball team in the country
jumping up and down and emitting
three cheers for itself.
Nebraska dropped a notch when
the Huskers fell before Kansas here
Saturday night, 13 to 10. In view
of the manner in .Which the Valley
fizes up this season, it is the “hot”
fpam which wins and that just about
tells the 6tory of the Saturday con
flict here. Kansas was not perspir
ing from heat, but a spurt in the
second period revolving around the
angular Ackerman put the Kansans
ahead for the first time with 10 min
utes to play. From then on the
invaders were masters of the situa
tion.
Missouri gave notice of renewed
life by winning both its starts dur
ing the week. Coach Bond's five
gets a chance at the Kansas cham
pions Tuesday night in the only
game in which the Jayhawkers
figure in the next half fortnight.
Nebraska will play a nonconfer
ence foe In the form of the undefeat
ed Creighton team at Omaha Frjdajr
night. Last year the Bluejays, as
the Creighton team has been nick
named, ran the corns of the Corn
l.uskers hot trying to stop them, and
it appears that the Nebraskans will
be asked to perform in supernormal
fashion to win this year.
Basket ball coaches, referees and
fans are pointing their glimmers
toward Omaha, where the Huskers
and Blttcjays play Friday. M'hile
not a conference contest, It will be
a game that will bring out the
strength of each quintet. Creighton
lias not been defeated, while Ne
braska has lost four Valley battles.

Stambaugh brought to Omaha
newspaper accounts of the Wells
bout to support Ilia contention that
Jones did not receive fair treatment
from officials connected with the
bout at St. Paul
“Jones floored Wells three times
during the bout. But every time
Jimmy rushed Wells to. the ropes and
started pumineling tl\, Britisher, the
referee would step between the men
and give Wells a fresh start. They
seemed determined, there that Wells
should win the bout, so they could
use him on the next boxing show,
February 4.’’ said Stambaugh,
Jones and his manager were per
mitted to return to Youngstown, O.,

siderably on team play. In order to
Insure perfect running liefore the

Russ Graham, the star Packer for
ward has graduated, and Coach Pat
ton will have a bard Job to find as
competent a basketeer as Graham
was.
Hank Smith and Byron Bernard
have been showing up well at the
forward position and are perhaps the
most logical contenders for the posi
tion. Another big hole to be filled Is
.it guard, whore the scrappy Julias
Katsman -performed for two years.
Urban and Boll seem the most log
leal players for tho latter position.
Urban la performing well at guard
on the leogue leading First Christian

forms as well at guard for the Pack

Drake Cage Team
Is Strengthened
Des Moines, la., Jan. 28,—With the
first semester almost at an end,
Drake university experts its basket
ball team to be materially strength
rnod for the last half of its Mis
souri Valley schedule by the addi-j
tion of a number of men xvho be
come sophomores with the beginning
of the second period of the year.
Among the stars w ho will be avail
able are Charles Everett and Ed
Ashby, both of Des Moines, who
starred on freshman basket ball
teams hist season and this. Both
men entered school at t8ie beginning
of the second semester last year, be.
ing midyear graduates at Des
Moines high schools. Everett is a
forward and Ashby a guard.
Everett and Ashby* are lsolh star
football men, as well as basket ball
players, and are expected to put tip
strong fights for steady jobs on next
vear's Bulldog varsity football
team.
With their eligibility for basket
ball, Coach Oscar Solen is expected
to make se\era! shifts in his quin
tet. which already contains two
sophomores in its regular lineup.
If Everett shows the form in col
lege basket ball which he showed in
high school, he wil likely be put
at a forward on the first team, so
that Carpenter may be shifted to
renter in Mantz's place. Ashbv, if
he can qualify for a guard posi
tion. will likely be used opposite
Gharett, making Sparks, present
floor guard, available < the first
reserve either at guard or for
xvard.
Carpenter is the biggest man on
the squad, and better equipped to
hold bis own with other Valley cen
ters than Mark Mantz. xvho lacks
the weight and xvho has been handi
capped ail season by an attack of
appendicitis which compelled him to
undergo an operation a few weeks
before Christmas.
Thus far Drake has still to win
.ta first Valley game, although It has
come within a hair's breadth of cap
turing a pair of fictories. The Bull
dogs lost to Ames by a single point
after coming from behind in a valiant
fight, and they were overtaken by
Washington after they had held the
lead through most of the game.
With somebody who can give able
assistance in ofense and floorwork to
Boeiter and Gbayett. the Drake
team, its followers thinlk. will be
able to win a good share of its re
maining games.
R. ALLAN MOSER is one of
the Omaha doctor* who likes
— a day on the river with his gun
and decoys and ha* many friends who
are also enthusiastic hunters. One
came to his office the other day
looking pale and wan and remarked
that he slept poorly and that when
he did sleep, he had terrible dreams.
Moser was Interested and asked w hat
tlio dreams were. Said the hunting
friend:
"I dreamed the other night thst
I went up to Clarks, Neb., for a
duck shoot and that while putting
out my decoys I saw three geese
on stilts wading down the channel
of the river. Just as I got Into the
the Mind whirh met me half way
when I started towards if, a flock
of purple headed Teal swung nvrr
me. I raised up my double barrel
and fired, shooting five limes, and
got a double with each shot. The
geese hi the river hearing the noise
i started wading towards me so I
started to call them. W hile calling,
a flock of chicken hobbled pasl and
I gave them a right and left, shoot
ing the heads off the first seven
birds. I let them drift to me and
then agaiu crouched down In the
blind. The geese seemed to he act
ing queerly and I noticed that one
had broken his stilts and was
making use of a piece of drift wood
using it like a man would n rrutch.
While watching them 1 fsih*d to
notice that a flock of ducks had
decoyed and only heard them when
they peeked on the hard sides of
my decoys. I gave them (lie shots
and noticed when 1 pickl'd them up
that they were a cross between
Mallards and lied Heads. '1 lie com
bination. incidentally , makes a very
beautiful and striking hoiking bird
The markings on the underside
were particularly unusual.
