Mlsourt opened Ita court aeaaon

last week and 1U meet the Kan
as Jayhawka In a non-conference
game on the Convention hall bard
woods In Kansas City Saturday.
This week Coach Geogre Kdwarda,
the Tiger cage mentor, waa polish
ing up tie attack and defense cf
i he Tiger five in preparation for
the exhibition game In Kansas
Citv.
Coach Kdwarda seems well
pleased with the showing of Ma
Bengal capers and particularly
well pleased with the (.homing of
Max Collins, the only sophomore
who gained a place In the Htarting
lineup. With John Waldorf away
for the holidays, playlnf? football
on tUe west coajft, Collins seema
likely to bear the burden of start
ing at the f-uard position against
K annas this week and against
William Jewell at Liberty on
Jan. 2.
Allen Direct! K. U.
Dr. 'Tbog' Allen, who direct
the destinies of the K. U. basket
ball tram, is more than pleased
with the showing of the Mount
Oread leiim In Its Initial entry into
the 1929-1930 cafe season. The
.Kyhawks made an impressive
ntrv by beating the Washburn
ouint Tuesday 42 to 22. Usually
the Topeka club puta up a fast
h. and of ball and are not so easily
hundlod and last year surprised the
Lawrence crew by handing them
a defoat of a one-point margin,
2h to 24. Mr. Allen has announced
il.at the Kansas five will play a
tirw and different style of baaket
iwtll this season in an attempt to
rfffain their court prestige In the
conference which they have held
for a long period of years. For the
la.st three years the K. U. school
waa displaced from their ruling
position at the top of the confer
ence heap and all indications are
that Mr. Allen Is out this year to
do business in a great way.
A slow-breaking defense with
a man ahead of the ball, giving an
optinal abot or pass, has replaced
the old juick-breaking style. The
defense is a modified zone plan
with two forwards in front play
ing the man-to-man game. The
slow breaking offense proved most
fffectlve against the Ichabods in
Topeka Tuesday and was ably as
sisted by some clever and accurate
shooting on the part of the Kansas
forwards. Jim Bausch, football
star of no mean renown, made his
initial bow to Kansaa basketball
fans Tuesday at the center posi
tion. Bausch played a great game
of football throughout the, gridiron
season and started the basketball
season with indications that his
court game la going to be equally
well done. He played at the pivot
position and conaurtently got the
tip-off from his opposing center.
He also proved to be a clever pas
ser and goal shot.
Bishop Looks Good.
Tom Bishop, Kansas forward
and one of the highest scorers in
the conference last season, is back
again on the maples thla year In
his old time form. Against Wash
burn Bishop hung up six baskets
and three free ones for a total of
15 points for high scoring honors.
Rube Thompson, his nmntng mate,
la also back in his old time form
this season and conference foes
are going to face a tough outfit
when they meet the Allen crew
from down on the Kaw.
Oklsbnms, winner of the confer
ence for the past three years, is
not so fortunate this year in vet
eran material and Coach Hugh

SKOV SINKS COUNTERS
Coach Keeps Squad Guessing
As to Who Makes Trip
During Holidays.
Yesterday ths varsity continued
their romp over the frosh. allow
ing the yearlings only sewn points.
Hutch Wltte wwi again sifting
through the frosh defense to drop
in two pointers time after time.
Ths Dutchman has been scoring
about as many points as any of
the forwsrds on ihe squsd.
After the first varsity squad had
started the rout of the frosh, the
second team continued the same
practice tn very conclusive style.
Klmer Skov waa again exhibiting
his ability as a point getter, when
ho dropped several two pointer
through the hoop. If he had about
three more inches of altitude, it
would be a very difficult proposi
tion to keep him off of the varsity.
Dsvey Looks Good.
Don McClay was not out for the
practice, but Davey was filling his
place quite satisfactorily. Davty
does nt hsve quite s much height
as docs McClay. but he handles
himself on the floor Just about as
well. On follow in shots, Selden

Kansas State Is Dark Horse.
Kansas State is at present more
or lea a dark horse and is expected
to show their first real form of
the season against the Huskers
when the two fives open the con
ference season at Manhattan on
Jan. 10. Mlsourt will meet Iowa
State at A mes for the two opening
games of the conference season
Coach Menze Satisfied With
Work of Sophomores
In First Game.
AMES, la., Dec. 19 With the
opening basketball game of the
season with Simpson college
tucked safely in the victory bag,
the Iowa State college varsity is
now turning its attention toward
a return game with Simpson in
state gymnasium Friday night.
Altho the play of the Cyclones
in their first game was ragged in
spots. Coach Louis Mense ex
pressed himself as being satisfied
with the showing of his sopho
mores. Late in the game the inex
perienced Iowa State five showed
real power. The play of Captain
Woods, the only letterman on the
squad, was the brightest spot of
the Cyclone offense.
No change is expected in the
lineup for Friday's game, which
means that Captain Woods, Road
cap. Heltman, Hawk and Zimmer
man will form the starting com
bination. Menze stated that he ex
pects to substitute more freely in
this battle than in the one at In-dlnnola.

PROF. C. t. MICKEY.

actual design of the foundations
,,f the new state capltol building.

and also provided the information

method of founding on rock, the
only example of the method in the
state.
Many Problems Studied.
This is but one of the services
this department has rendered to
the state of Nebraska. A timber
of other problems, directly affect
ing the development of some Indus
tries and communities, have been
studies and reeomnsendatloni
made. Some of these problems
are:
City planning studies and recom
mendations to seeral Nebraska
municipalities, ths working out of
sand-gravel concrete mixtures for
various classes of eoncrets to
municipal and stats highway work,
ths solutloln of problems relating
to the development of some of Ne
braska's water sources, problems
relating to well Irrigation In ths
Platte river valley, engineering and
economic problems relating to ths
tri-county IrrlgeMoo and teydro
slsctrtc project and studies relat
ing to flood control of the Missis

means of staballslng ths flow of
water thru the use of impounding
and soil storage reservoirs, so lo
cated to be of grsat value tn the
development of agrietilturs. indus
try and commerce.
to take a dozen, there will be a
merry battle on to see who ths
lucky ones are. Don McClay and
Koniclin will probably be taken as
centers: Morrie Fisher, Harve
Grace. Selden Davty, Cliff Jensen,
and possibly Elmer Skov as for
wards; and' Adolph LewandowskL
Dutch Wltte. George Koster, Steve
Hokuf. Ed Stipsky, and possibly
Tom Elliott as guards.
If Charlie decides to take an ex
cess of guards. SUpsky and Elliott
will probably go. but if the for
wards are to receive the recogni
tion. Skov, along with SUpsky will
make the trip. Then men are not
at all sure as to the selections, and
for that reason, everybody is fight
ing plenty hard.
St. Louis Wins.
St. Louis university continued
their winning habit last night,
when they won their third con
secutive game for this year. The
calibre of the teams that will be
met on this trip is sure to have
the desired effect to priming the
men for the conference competi
tion. Opponents of the first mag
nitude will assist in the making of
a real team about as much as any
other factor.
Regardless of whether the team
has a winning trip, it will be a
successful one, as the tuning up is
what Charlie Black has in mind to
accomplish. After the vacation, it
should be possible to see Just how
good the team really la. but right
now the prospects are quite bright
for a very successful year. Ne
braska opens her home schedule on
the field house floor.
RIFLE TEAM SLATES
University Shooters Finish
Plans of Season; Use
Two Teams.
Plans for the university rifle
team are now nearing completion,
according to P. H. Bartbolemew,
team captain. Sixty-four matches
have been scheduled to dste. This
means that on the average there
will be from five to eight shoots
per week and ten more challenges
will be accepted.
Three teams will be entered in
the Hearst trophy match. These
will be chosen from the first and
second teams. Last year Ne
braska took third place after en
tering but one team.
Two teams ivill be entered in tho
seventh corps area match and two
teams will be entered in ths na
tional corps area match. The
matches vlll be held tu the An
drews hall rifle range and ths
scores will be sent in to the na
tional corps area headquarters at
Washington, D. C.
A Missouri valley shoulder-te-shoulder
match will be fired at
Iowa City during spring vacation.
Any man who Is a good shot
and ts now on ths second tsara
need not feel discouraged, accord
ing to Captain Bsrtholemsw, tut he
always has a good chance for ad
vancement. If his shooting Is con
sistently better than that of a
first team man, ths second string
man will ba placed on thr first
turn.
