Games This Week
Thursday: Oklahoma vs. Kansas at
Lawrence.
Friday: Drake vs. Oklahoma Ag
gies at Des Moines; Grinnell vs. Ok
lahoma at Grinnell.
Saturday: Nebraska vs. Iowa State
at Lincoln; Missouri vs. Kansas at
Lawrence; Oklahoma vs. Drake at
Des Moines; Oklahoma Aggies vs.
Grinnell at Grinnell.
The nine games played this past
week in Missouri Valley basketball
circles provided plenty of thrills for
the fans and resulted in the defeat
of Kansas in its first game of the
season and the dropping of Drake
stock as the result of an invasion into
.Oklahoma where the Bull Dogs lost
two games.
Oklahoma continued to lead the
pack by turning in a 40 to 25 vic
tory over Drake. Tho Nebraska
Cornhuskers stepped into the lime
light by winning their first start at
the expense of Grinnell.
Huskers Should Take Lead
The finish of this week's play
' should see Nebraska occupying the
top rung' of the ladder alone. The
schedule calls for an invasion of the
northern tier of the Valley teams by
the Oklahoma squad. The Sooners
will play Kansas, Grinnell, and
Drake, and dope points to a loss for
Oklahoma at the Jayhawk camp.
Nebraska meets only one team
during the week when the Iowa State
farmers invade Lincoln. The Bearg
men are picked to win over the
twice-defeated Ames team.
The Drake Bull Dogs, who have
been considered one of the strong
' est teams in the Valley, saw their
hopes for a conference championship
somewhat diminished during the
week's play. They played two
games in Oklahoma, losing to the
Stillwater farmers 34 to 29, and
losing the second game the following
night to the Sooners 40 to 25.
Bears Stage Comeback
After dropping their first two
starts of the season, the Washing
ton Bears staged a strong comeback
and defeated Kansas and Ames.
The Bears entered the second half
of the Kansas game twelve points in
the rear, but a spurt during the first
part of the period gave them suffi
cient points to win.
Iowa State broke even on a two
game journey into Missouri. Meet
ing defeat at Washington, the team
from Ames won from Missouri the
following evening when Kling shot
a basket with ten seconds left to
play. The final score read 23 to 22,
This win marked the first of the sea
son for the Iowa team.
Grinnell opened the season rather
disasterously, dropping three games
in as many days. Kansas started the
Pioneers on their downward skid, the
Kaggies gave them another push the
following night and Nebraska com
pleted the downfall Saturday night
in Lincoln.
Among the high five point men in
the individual scoring race are found
three of the Washington players.
Seago, Washington center, heads the
list with thirty-seven points in four
games.

The defeat handed Kansas by
the Washington Bears recalls the
1925 conference race. Last season
the Jayhawks lost their first start
of tho season to the Kansas Aggies
and thon breezed through the re
mainder of the season without a de
feat. We wonder if Kansas will re
peat this, Beason.
Although the Nebraska basketball
team looked rather ragged against
Grinnell Saturday night they won the
game with comparative ease. Coach
Bearg indicates that the Huskers are
in for some serious practice this
week and a changed line-up will
probably greet the fans in the Ar
mnry Saturday ivrht when the
Beargmen met Iowa State.
There is a possibility that Tom
Elliott.rangy West Foint youth, will
be shifted to center in place of Cap
tain Kckstrom, who has not been able
to strike his stride this season.
We suggest that the interfrater
nity basketball tournament which
will start as soon as the playing
floor in the new field house is avail
able, be run on a different plan this
year. Heretofore this tournament
has been run on one game elimi
nation plan which does not under the
existing conditions give every team
a fair chance.
A better plan would be to form
leagues consisting of four teams
and have them play each other in
their league twice. This would
mean that each team would play six
games. Playing at the rate of two
games a week each league could fin
ish its schedule in three weeks. The
teams would be assigned to leagues
by drawing lots.
After all of the leagues had fin
ished their schedule, the winners of
each would meet in an elimination
tournament, the winers of this tour
nament to be crowned inter-frater
nity champions.
Eight or nine leagues would thus
be formed by this plan, which would
create more interest in the cage
sport. Not only would every team
be given a fair chance, but players
would be developed that might be
valuable to the Varsity later on.
The Tiger wrestling team will be
lead by Gibson, a heavyweight, this
season. The first Valley meet is
scheduled for January 30 with the.
Husker grapplers, here, in which
Gibson is expected to give the Ne
braska grappler in that weight a
good match. Though he lost by a
decision several times last year he
was never thrown in spite of the
fact that it was his first year. Gib
son is also a football player.
Some of the best athletes that
the country ever produced were men
who were handicapped by some
physical defect. As on example,
Ray Watson, Kansas Aggie runner,
several years back became one of the
best middle distance runners in the
nation inspite of the fact that he
had only one arm, which made it dif
ficult to carry an even stride.
Brentford, Missouri high jumper,
who was the only Valley athlete to
ever defeat Tom Poor, Olympic hivh
jumper, spent his first year of Var

sity competition attempting to over
come the handicap of defective eyes.
Even with glasses the athlete was un
able to properly estimate the
height of the bar and the proper
take off, and the other complicated
features of the high jump. This
year he is considered the best pros
pect in the Valley in this event.
Though there was a promising
showing in several of the events Fri
day at the timo trials, in the major
ity of the races the results were none
too pleasing to Coach Schulte. ' With
the reports coming in from all sides
to the effect that Missouri, Kansas,
Drake, and other teams will be
strong, tho Husker outlook is not
bright. The lack of good high
jump material is of course plain,
but in the other field events barring
the polo vault, things do not look too
well.
Nebraska will be compelled to de
pend on the running events to win
as they did last year, but these do
not present a pleasant future. The
quarter mile event and the distance
runs have several veterans, but none
of exceptional ability. In fact, the
sprint events are the only really sure
promises of good material.
In the comment made by this col
umn a few days ago in defense of the
right of an institution to question
the tactics of another school in ath
letics or the eligibility of any par
ticular athlete, we stated that no one
particularly cared whether Missouri
atletes ate at a training table or
not. What we should have said, was
that as far as Nebraska individual
ly was concerned, no one cared.
If Valley rules mean anything, it
is the business of every institution

in the Valley to help enforce the
rules which have placed the reputa
tion of the Missouri Valley confer
ence on such a high standard. The
new Kansas football coach has stated
that it was pleasure to him to have
... . .1 r.
an opportunity to coacn in inie con
ference because of the good sports
manship. Good sportsmanship comes
about by a careful attempt to con
form to the good faith represented
in the conference rules.
It would be fino if the athletic
departments of tho different institu
tions would carry this in mind, but in
some cases they have failed to keep
their contract of good sportsman-
Rhin. Missouri in defense of their
, uuivnno I
training table said that the athletes
ate there because practice was held
so late, and the boarding houses
were closed. An accurate estimate
would find this the case in every
school in the country.
Supposing that this was not a di
rect breaking of the rules, the spirit
of the rule is broken at least. On
page IS paragraph 7 and section D.
the rules readi "By action of the
Presidents and Governing Boards of
the institutions of the Missouri Val
ley conference, all training tables
are forbidden. A training table is
understood to mean any segregation
of an athletic team or squad at any
or all meals during an athletic sea-
1
son, except while on tripe." Of
course the words 'all" and "any" may
not be sufficient to cover this situ
atlon.
