A hectic week in Missouri Valley
basketball circles win De followed
the next few days by one somewhat
more quiet. Last week saw many
fast and clime games and was also
attended by the shifting of several
teams in the percentage co;amns,
Kansas continued its drive toward
the championship with the Nebraska
Cornhuskers close behind. The Jay
hawVs have played more games than
Nebraska and their standing is only
A few points above the second
placers. If Nebraska wins from
Kansas tonight at Lawrence it will
mean that the Jay hawks are tumbled
from their lofty position for the first
time in the season.
That Kansas is weaker than when
they met Nebraska is indicated by
the smaller scores and the drop in
the offensive column averages. Kan
sas had a job on their hands Satur
day to defeat Missouri by one point.
A free thro-i in the last minute of
play did it Grinnell also gave Kan
sas a close calL
Washington practically dropped
out of the race when it was defeated
by Kansas. The Pikers are now
hoping that Nebraska will win from
Kansas and lose to Washington. In
that case they could win the cham
pionship by a victory over Kansas
and another over Nebraska. This
of course, is providing that they can
keep ap their pace in competition
with other teams.
Oklahoma featured with a remark
able scoring streak in the first games
of the week, only to be defeated Sat
urday by the cellar -in habitant,
Ames, whose team had lost ten
games out of ten starts previous to
meeting Oklahoma. The Sooners
cored eighty-eight points in their
two games, Thursday and Friday,
but broke under the strain Saturday
and lost to Ames.
Oklahoma, however, now leads the
conference in offensive play. The
Kansas scoring fell off a bit while
Nebraska's jumped, now occupying
a third place. The Cornhuskers are
still oat in front in defense.
This week's games will match Ne
braska against and Washing
ton is two most interesting games.
Grinnell will also meet the Pikers at
St. Louis Saturday evening.

' Coach Rockne has picked Ed Weir
as a member of his All-Time-All
American football team. Following
the pick of such teams by Yost,
Zuppke, and others, Rockne comes
out with a choice of two teams. Be
cause the players before and after
1906 cannot be well compared,
Rockne places his AU-Time teams in
these two classes. In placing Ed
Weir at tackle he says, "Weir of Ne
braska, and Henry of Washington
and Jefferson are the greatest pair
of tackles I have ever seen."
Lloyd Hahn, holder of the Nebras
ka high school record in the 440-yard
dash.is the first American to break a
world record set by Nurmi, the great
distance runner. Hahn stepped the
mile in 4 minutes 13.4 seconds Sat
urday night, beating the Finn's rec
ord by 1-5 of a second.
Raymond Conger, a sophomore at
Ames this year, has promises of be

Kansas had a series of close calls
in her basketball games last week.

Nebraska, stronger than any of these
