Jayhawks Trounce Kansas
Aggies 40-26 to Hold
Ton Ranking.
JAYS' OFFENSE PERFECT
Aggie Defense Stiffens a
Bit in Last Half, But
Lead Too Great.
Nebraska's championship hopes
in the basketball world took a de
cided turn downward Tuesday
night when the conference leading
Kansas Jayhawks trounced the
Kansas Aggies by a scene of 40 to
26. This victory Rives the Kansans
a whole game lead over the Musk
ets, with but two more games to
be played by both teams.
The Kansas offense was work
ing to perfection against the Ag
gies and a 14 to 2 lead was piled
up after but ten minutes of play.
In the final half the Aggie de
fense stiffened a bit but they
ouki not overcome the Jayhawk
lead.
Fast Floor Work.
Foth teams displayed fast flout
work in the final half but the
Kansas defense was so tight that
the Aggies could get but lew open
fhota. The Aggies drew up to
within nine points of the Jayhawks
at one time but the Kansas of
fense again began to function and
they rapidly pulled away.
fha Kansas victory over the Ag
gies virtually assures them of the
Big Sis championship. The de
feat plastered on Nebraska by
Ames Monday -night practically
wrecked all Nebraska chances.
Kansas must play Missouri and
Iowa State yet in conference com
petition and the Cornhuskers will
take on Oklahoma and the Kansas
Aggies. The Cornhuskers' only
hone is that one or both of the
teams Kansas must play can stop
them.

GLOOM in great, heavy, Uacl
clouds Is hanging over the
Cornbusker basketball camp this
week. Five days ago Nebraska
held the whip hand in the Big Six
goal league and then two forty
minute sessions, one with K. U.
and the other with Iowa State, de
moted Black's men from a healthy
vigorous first place to a hazardous
roost on a second rate limb.
There is one single straw of
hope to which Hunker fans are
clinging. If Missouri or Iowa State
can dump the Jayhawkers for one
defeat, then Nebraska can still
finish In a tie for the seat at the
top. All depending, of course, ou
whether the Blackmcn turn In vic
tories in the two remaining home
mixes with Kansas Aggies and Ok
lahoma. Possibly it would be a
good idea to wait and see what
happens rather than decide right
now who won the Big Six.

Waverly Teams.
Coach Otto Dillon's farm opera
tor's short course basketball team
of the agricultural college is sche
duled ot play two games next
week. The farmers meet the

WRESTLING TRYOUT
PLAN jSORIGINATED
Heads of American Olympic
Association Agree on
Newer Methods.
Olympic wietling tryouts next
year will be held according to an
entirely diflereut plan from any
thing tried before, according to
I'rof. H. G. Clapp. ot the physical
education department, who has re
tourned from New York. . He at
tended a meeting of the American
Olympic Association Wrestling
committee of which he is secre
tary. Heretofore the National A. A. U.
meet finals have decided who shall
be the entries lor the United States
in the Olympic meet, lu 1D32 the
A. A. L. championships will con
stitute a semi-final match for the
Olympic meet. The National Col
legiate Wrestling championships
association championships consti
tute other semi-fincls.
There will be sixteen entries in
each of the seven classes, six from
the National Collegiate Wrestling
group, six from the A. A. U. finals
and four from the Y. M. C. A.
finals. There will be fourteen men
on the Olympic team, seven entries
and seven alternates.
This system will make the final
Olympic try-out. which will be
held July 4 and 5 at some central
point in the United States, much
fairer, according to Professor
Clapp. Formerly wrestlers were
worn out by too many matches
during the final Olympic try-out,
he stated. Those having easy
matches had the advantage.
Winners to Los Angeles.
After the tryouts July 4 and 5,
the winners will be taken to a site
near Los Angeles where they will
receive training until about the
first of August when the Olympic
International meet will be held at
Los Angeles. In previous years the
final tryouts have been held just
before the time of the meet. By
this system the entries will get ac
climated before the meet.
The Olympic Association Wrest
ling committee went on record
that the winning of first place in
the final tryouts is not a definite
assurance that such a winner is to
represent the United States in the
Olympic championships, and re
served the right to make final
nominations to the American
Olympic committee. The wrestling
committee has power to name the
entries, coaches, trainers and man
agers. In 1928 all the American entries
were college men, Prof. Clapp
stated, Nebraska has never en
tered a man in the Olympic inter
national meet, he said, alth
John Keller defeated the Ameri
can entry in 1924.
Professor Clapp is chairman : I
the National Collegiate Athletk
association committee and a mem- school will be announced shortly
ber of the nominating committee i Dec Sive V ICIOriGS Made 3S : after that date. A silver loving
basketball. Now as a result of the
racent shakeup in the Nebraska
coaching staff he is the head man
in baseball, first assistant to D.
X. Bible In football, and In charge
of the freshman basketball candi
dates. By 1935 Browne ought to
be chancellor.
The only objection to taking ath
letic trips in automobiles we can
think of is that you can't study
while tearing along In a car. Not
that anyone ever did study while
riding any place on a train but
there still is that objection to mo
tor transportation.
Y7HOEVER ever circulated an
w Idea that athletes are dumb
ought to try missing five or six
days of classes in two or three
weeks of trips over the country to
compete against other schools and
then come back and try to stay
eligible under a lot of extremely
conscientious instructors who are
faithful believers that athletics
are being overemphasized. It's
about as easy as throwing a baby
grand piano thru the half open
window of au Austin without
breaking the glass.
And speaking of Austins we
wonder what happened to the wo-
man's editor and hers. We have i
not noticed her honking along thru j
these columns for some days. "No
Man's Lend" sounds as if it might
be a rether easy place in which to
get lost. In case the miniature
tank dropped into a gopher hole
somewhere we offer the services
of the sports staff en masse to
fill in the hole.
matches are completed. She also
urges that matches be finished on
the date set for the completion of
the round.
Points awarded include five to
every girl who enters and plays,
fifty to the group having the win
ner of the elimination tournament,
twenty-five to the group having
the runner-up of the elimination
tournament and five for each
match won up to the finals. The

tices and the ping pong room is

AMES, la. Iowa State college
faces a heavy athletic program
this week as four teams will en
gage in competition. The basket
ball team, besides the game
p'ayad with Nebraska Tuesday,
plays Oklahoma at Norman Sat
urday. The wrestling team en
gages the Sooner grapplers in a
home dual Friday night, and both
the swimming and track teams
compete Saturday, the tracksters
in i three cornered meet wiih
Drake and Grinnell at Des Moines,
and the paddlers in a dual with
Nebraska at Omaha.
The swimming team, by virtue
of its recent walk away exhibitoin
in the midwestern A. A. U. meet
at Omaha, is favored to win from
the Cornhuskers. The Cyclones
have the quartet, Sands, Weld,
Unser and FJeig, which brought
back twelve medals from Omaha
j two weeks ago, besides other team
members to count upon ior points.
While the Cyclone tracksters
garnered nine gold medals at the
I K. C. A. C. meet last Saturday as
well as four others, they are rated
second best to the Drake team for
the triangular meet. The Bulldogs
have strength in every event,
while the Cyclones are weak in the
field events.
The wrestling match with the
Sooners. the only, remaining home
event of the week, is the feature
attraction. The Sooners, altho
beaten by the Oklahoma Aggies by
a one sided scoro last week, have
a well balanced team which in
clude three third year men, and a
fourth if Hardy Lewis, national
and Big Six champion, removes
a scholastic bar.
