Tournament
DELTS WIN FROM BETAS
Pi Kappa Alpha's Upet Dope
By ueteating rm oiga
In League Two
Nine teams remain undefeated in
the inter-fraternity basketball tour
nament which ia entering the third
week of play. The biggest upset i
the tournament was Pi Kappa Alpha'
defeat of Piii Sgima Kappa, tourna
ment winners for the past two years
Beta Theta Pi was forced from the
lead in league six by Delta Tau
Delta, while Sigma Phi Epsilon gain
ed supremacy in league one early
in the tournament.
Sigma Phi Epsilon ranks far in
the lead of all rivals in league one
and is virtually assured of the league
championship, having beaten the
team that holds second place.
Phi Delt Lead League Two
Phi Delta Theta holds first place
in' league two with five victories to
its credit, but is by no ueans assured
of the league championship. Phi Del
ta Theta will have its hands full
when it tackles the Phi Sigs, tour
nament winners for the past two
years, in Tuesday night's round of
play. It is possible that the Pi Kappa
Alpha victory over Phi Sigma Kappa
will cause a tie between the three
teams for the supremacy of league
two.
Phi Kappa and Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon are far above all other teams in
league three. The outcome of the
game will determine the champion'
ship of league three, both teams at
least two games ahead of the nearest
rivals.
A royal battle is expected Tuesday
evening when the Delta Upsilon and
Alpha Sigma Phi quintets go on the
floor to decide the championship of
league four. Both teams have won
most of their games with a relatively
high margin over the opponents and
are conceded to be fairly evenly
matched.
League Five Teams Are Tied
Kappa Sigma and Xi Psi Phi are
still tied for first place in league
five, with Theta Chi a close second.
The Kappa Sigma-Xi Psi Phi match
will not be played until Wednesday
but both teams have been displaying
some fine qualities in former games
and a hard fight is assured.
Delta Tau Delta holds the undis
puted lead in the final league. The
Delta overcame Beta Theta Pi last
Monday for the lea,d, and probably
for the championship of the league.
The schedule for Tuesday is:
League 1 Delta Sigma Lambda
vs. Delta Sigma Phi at 7:00, floor 1.
Phi Kappa Psi vs. Tau Kappa Epsi

IN THE VALLEY
By JACK ELLIOTT
The captain or rather the cap
tains for next year's gridiron eleven
have been revealed and the excite
ment that has reigned on the campus
for the week proceeding the elec
tion has abated. In selecting Blue
Howell and Elmer Holm to lead the
Cornhuskers next year the twenty
six lettermen did not go wrong.
With two men like Howell and
Holm as pilots of the 1928 gridiron
eleven, prospects lor an all-victor
ious season were boosted a great
deal. Both these warriors of the
gridiron are abU loaders and be
cause there were two such capable
men to lead the Scarlet next year in
stead of one, two were elected.
Henry Lindbloom, Des Moines and
Johnny Miller, Waterloo, star half
backs of the Iowa State College foot
ball team will jointly captain the
1923 Cyclone eleven, it was an
nounced at the annual gridiron ban
quet Friday night. Householder of
Kansas Agijies was elected to lead
the Kansas Aggio eleven next year.

Coach Bearg made some remarks
about Black's court squad that sound
mighty nice at the banquet Friday
night. Bearg stated that he wouldn't
be surprised to see the Scarlet quin
tet go through a victorious season.
But the old by-word is "remember
the Jayhawkers." '
Friday night, Black and his court
five will meet Washington and the
next night they will entertain the
Missouri quintet. Missouri, it is
said, has a fast team on the hard
wood this winter and are pointing
for nothing less than a Valley cham
pionship basketball team. With
these two fives to reckon with,
Black will have a job on his hands
to win both games in successive
nights.
After the Christmas holidays the
Missouri five will return the game
and play the Nebraskans on the Lin

KANSAS GRIDIRON
HAS HIGH AYERAGE
Statistics Show Above-Average Team
Ever Since It Started Football
Activities in 1890
Lawrence, Kan., Dec. 10. Statist
ics of football contests in the Miss
ouri Valley as compiled by the K. U.
News Bureau show that Kansas has
had an above-average team since it
started football activities in 1890.
In the all-time valley standings,
Kansas ranks in third places having
scored nearly one and one-half
points to the opponent's one, while
in the valley conference standings
alone, dating from 1907, K. U. av
erages 1.03 points to the opponents'
one. The latter result is probably
due to the much stronger competi
tion since the Missouri Valley con
ference was formed in 1907.
In the all-time valley standings,
Nebraska ranks first with a percent
age of .786; Ames is second, and
Kansas is third. Other teams in the
valley follow in this order: Oklaho
ma, Missouri, Drake, K. S. A. C,
Grinnell, Oklahoma A. and M.,
Washington.
The compilation shows that Kan
sas has played 159 games with Val
ley oponents more than any other
school in the Valley. Missouri has
played 158, and Nebraska 110. A
gei.eral summary in the pamphlet
shows that tiOl games have been
played between Valley teams and
10,973 points scored. Forty-four
games ended in tie scores. Most of
the tie games were scoreless or 7 to
7. The highest score in a tie game
was the Kansas-Nebraska struggle in
1920 which ended 20 to 20. Kansas
won from Washington in 1923 by
the highest score ever run in the val
ley, 83 to 0.
Busy Telephones Do
Not Bother This Pair
Norman, Dec. 10. (Special)
Finding themselves unable to
make telephone connections with
one of the sorority houses during
the rush hour so that they might
talk to their feminine favorites,
two University of Oklahoma stu
dents have installed a private
telephone instrument in the room
of one of the girls. The tele
phone is for the exclusive use of
the two couples, who won't be
thwarted from now on, they say,
by the operator's exasperating
"Line's, busy."
PHI GAMS DEFEAT

Teams Tied in Former Game Fight
Hard in Deciding Meet, Roth
Wins Individual Honors
Phi Gamma Delta came through,
with a victory over Alpha Gamma
Rho 22 to 19 in the only inter-fraternity
basketball game Saturday.
The 'two teams played to a tie in a
game early in the tournament and
the Phi Gamma Delta quintet came
through with a victory in the decid
ing game.
The game was hard fought, and
lacked very little being a tie like) the
former game. The winner of the
game was uncertain until the last
whistle blew, with the Alpha Gamma
Rho team threatening seriously.
Roth of the Alpha Gamma Rho team
won individual scoring honors, with
9 points while Bernard of the op
posing team was a close runner-up
with 8 points.

KANSAS AGGIES PUT
HOPES ON NEW MEN
Three Letter Men Are Available
For Kaggie Basket Team
In Early Season
Manhattan, Kans., Dec. 10. With
only three letter men around which
to build his 1928 Kansas Aggie bas
ketball team Coach Charles Corsaut
is depending materially upon his
crop of new candidates for the for
mation of a capable quintet to come
through as a power in' the Missouri
valley conference.
Two of the letter men, Capt. A.
R. Edwards, Fort Scott, and Elmer
Mertel, Kansas City, Kans., guards,
should be the base of a strong de
fensive, while Ed Skradski, Kansas
City, Kans., rangy second year cen
ter, looks best for the tipoff posi
tion.
The grooming of forwards may be
a difficult task, with the absence of
experienced players, but from a
group including R. V. Brooks,
Hutchinson, Walter Jones, Kansas
City, Kans.; K. Silverwood, Ells
worth, S. ' H. Brockway, Topeka,
Bob McCollum, El Dorado, Richard
Youngman, Kansas City, Kans.;
George Jelinek, Ellsworth, and H. O.
Frazier, Clay Center, Coach Corsaut
has good chances of developing fast
floor men. Most of the men named
have shown more than fair ability at
basket tossing.
Other than Skradski at center the
Wildcat coach has A. H. Freeman,
Hoxie, who ranges about six feet and
one half, R. V. Brooks, and Bill Jar
dine, Washington, D. C. The main
handicap these men are under, as
are most of the candidates, is lack of
experience.
The Aggie mentor has Mertel and
Edwards, third year men, for regu
lars at guards. Other possibilities
are A. H. Freeman, Walter Jones, C.
D. Richardson, Hugoton, L. E.
Smith, Caldwell, and R. E. Sanders,
Burlington.
The latest squad cut has left re
maining seventeen aspirants, includ
ing letter men.
Museum Adds Display
Of New Illustrations
Another new exhibit at the mus
eum consists of illustrations taken
from a recently published study by
Prof. Otis Wade of the department
of zoology. These are in the ground
squirrel exhibit in the basement of
Morrill hall. Professor Wade's study,
"Breeding Habits and Early Life of
the Thirteen-Striped Cround Squir
rel" was published in the Journal of
Mammalogy.

NEW TOSSERS GOME
INTO CYCLONE FOLD
Coach Chandler No Longer Worries
About Reserve Team to Give
Varsity Trouble
Ames, Iowa, Dec. 10. (Special)
One of Iowa State's biggest bas
ketball problems, lack of a reserve
team strong enough to give the var
sity real competition, seems to be
about settled with several additional
members of last year's squad either
back or expected back. Since the
beginning of active drill the Cyclone
veteran combination of Kling,
Lande, Staver and Brown has had
everything its own way, walking
through the reserves in easy fashion.
Bob Lamsoii, fullback from the foot
ball team and a capable basketball
guard, Krekow, an end from the grid
team and center candidate, and the
e-xpected return of Taylor of Mon-
roce, minor letter man and a guard,
has given the reserves new hopes.
Center still seems to be the big
gest rource of trouble. Woods of
Irwin, sophomore eager, has so far
drnwn to the front and 's being used
with the first string. Woods is
good under the basket, is able to
git a majority of the ti. -of fa, but
s: ill lM'kd considerably in defensive
:iy. Jim Ayres i : r.x liil?, S.
D. Treadwell of Suffern, New York.,
and Stillmnn of Gowric are the three
other aspirants.
Although the Cyclone team this
year will be light Coach Bill Chand
ler is not pessimistic over the situa
tion. The four veterans who are ex
pected to bear the brunt of the
struggle this year, Freddie Kling
and Brown, guards, and Captain
Staver and Lande, forwards, are
again playing the same clever floor
game that characterized their work
last year. Given the benefit of at
least part of the tipoffs Iowa State
should have its best basketball year
of several seasons.
Collins Will Speak On Thursday
F. G. Collins, assistant curator of
the museum, will be the speaker at
a meeting next Thursday noon of the

Dormitory Men
Provide Better
Rule for Study
Ames, Iowa, Dec. 10. (Special)
Although the freshmen living in
the new men's dormitory at Iowa
State College were given practically
a free hand in drafting the dorm
itory rules under which they would
live, the boys voluntarily start their
evening study hour 30 minutes earl
ier than do Iowa State coeds whose
rules are prescribed by the college.
The evening study hour in the
men's dormitory ' starts at 7:30
whereas in the girls' dormitories it
does not start till 8 p. m. All of
which goes to show that if allowed
to govern themselves the students
will often be more strict than would
the college administration, accord
ing to J. E. Foster, dean of men.
The only dormitory rules applied
by the college are that there shall
be no smoking, drinking or gambling,
and these are college rules.
Each floor in the men's dormitory
elects a supervisor who holds office
for one weeki His duty is to ans
wer the. telephone, turn out lights
and give demerits to those who vio
late dormitory rules. Anyone who
receives five or more demerits is
fined $1.
Morrill Gives Unusual
Exhibit of Butterflies
A new addition to the museum's
exhibit of tropical butterflies, made
possible by donations from Charles
H. Morrill of Stromsburg, is a small
picture made entirely from wings of
tropical and rare butterflies. Made in
Germany, the picture was such a del
icate undertaking that all the work
had to be done with minute forceps.
The exhibit is at the northeast cor
ner of the first floor, Morrill hall.

Where "good enough" isn't
The basketball team that is never satisfied with
its performance is headed for the top. And in
this, as in the making of telephone apparatus,
success follows from the determination of every
man to cover his position and work in' harmony
with his team mates. .
At Western Electric, a continually widening
:nge of activities is being undertaken for ex
ample, investigating raw materials, designing
more efficient machinery, developing new plans
for manufacture, studying operating methods and
personnel relations any one of which offers the
individual an interesting field.
But whatever the work, his place in it and his
contribution to its success depend upon his accep
tance of thisWestern Electric idea: to improve
the machinery of production to a point where
it more closely approaches perfection.
