SCHULTE SAYS K-STATE
WILL WIN, WE THINK
NOT
Pa Schulte has measured his
team with Kansas State and has
found that the Wildcat cinder ar
tists will win the indoor meet Sat
urday by the slender margin of
three points. In addition the vet
eran Husker track mentor contem
plates the loss of several points
because of injuries. If we didn't
know that all of these figures are
the results of comparative meets
we would feel that Schulte was
richt. Also, if this compilation did
not come from Schulte we would
put more stock into the judgment,
but our confidence in Pa Schulte's
ability to turn out superior track
teams remains intact and the fact
that his cinder proteges have al
ready defeated Kansas and Minne
sota by large margins show that
the team is not so weak and is
not likely to Jrive up without a
strong fight.
It has been our experience that
track performance depends a lot
upon the physical and mental con
ditions of the contestants. If the
team is in a good frame of mind
the runners are likely to put forth
their best effort to make a good
showing. At any rate we think that
Kansas State is going to have one
heck of a time beating the Husk
er Saturday.

SEASON
Huskers
Fourth;
A strong Kansas State track
team will invade the Cornhusker
camp Saturday in an attempt to
administer to the Huskers their
first indoor loss of the season.
Kansus U and Minnesota U both
failed to down the Huskers.
The K-Aggies almost unset the
drpe bucket last Saturday when
they dropped a close meet to the
Missouri Tigers. Kansas State was
rated as one of the conference's
weakest teams in pre-season dop
ings, and Missouri was rated
alongside Nebraska as the con
ference's strongest.
Championship Meet March 5.
Nebraska defeated Kansas U
81 to 23 and Minnesota 65 to 34,
while Kansas State was taken into
camp 56 4 to 47', by MiMssouri.
On the basis of comparative per
formances in these meets, Kansas
State will win Saturday by the
narrow margin of 55 to 50Vs.
Saturday's meet is the last one
of the indoor season for the Husk-
rs. The Big Six championship
meet will be held in Columbia,
Missouri on March 5. Nebraska
won the indoor championship
last year, piling up a record num
ber of points. There is little chance
for the Huskers to repeat this
year, as the squad has been seri
ously weakened by graduation and
injuries.
Weakened Squad.
Some of last year's outstanding
men, headed by Lloyd Cardwell,
have graduated. Francis did not
graduate, but completed his six
semesters of varsity competition.
Francis is bac k in school now, and
in his specialty, the shot put, got
a heave of 49 fee, 2 inches in a
short workout last night.
Jim Mather, star sprinter, has
been ruled ineligible.. Wilson An
drews, Marvin Plock, and Bob
West, have been troubled with in
juries. West and Plock have been
out of action all season, but both
are expected to be ready for the
K-State meet. Andrews has taken
part in both the first two meets,
but has been bothered with leg in
juries, and probably will not run
Saturday.

who has, as Parsons, been twice
selected as all-conference guard.
Pralle will be graduated this
spring also.
The rally committee of the Corn

dent of the Tassels will make the

Uncnln Journal.
NORMAN, Neb. 23. Since Dr.
F. C. "Phog" Allen, the eminent
Kansas basketball coach brought
the perennially brilliant Jayhawk
ers to Norman for the Big Six
c h a mpionship
game with the
Sooner Boy
Scats, it might
be appropriate
to glance be
tween the red
and blue jack
eted covers of
Doctor Allen's
new book "Bet
ter Basketball"
and take a look
therein.
Not so com
pact as Nat
Holman's neat
opus "Winning
Basketball" be
cause of the tremendous scope
the Jayhawk tutor attempts,
"Better Basketball" nevertheless
ranks with Holman's volume as
the outstanding textbook on the
mechanics of the sport and far
surpasses anything previously
written as an omnibus and source
book on the game.
Includes Egg-nog Recipe.
The Kansas coach has been
kidded in some of the early re
views for cramming poetry, sta
tistics, recipes (including that of
his famous orange egg-nog),
music, etc. into the book along
with the actual basketball.
However, over on page 191
where he starts talking about
screening (team maneuvers by
which the defensive man is
blocked out so an offensive man
may be freed for a shot at the
goal) Doctor Allen will hold even
the sharpest critic enthralled. Any
high school coach who will study
these chapters closely and teach
them patiently will strengthen his
team's offense and lay a founda
tion that may lead to a better job.
Goes to Town.
And when he gets over to part
IV, 'Athletic Injuries and Emer
gencies," the doctor really throws
a block on his subject. That's
where he got that "Dr." in front
of his name, studying athletic in
juries at medical school, and this
section is one of the finest in the
book.
High school coaches, and after
all the book was pointed at them,
probably will eat up the same di-gi-essions
the critcs objected to.
For instance they'll appreciate be
ing told how a dirty ball should be
cleaned with harness soap be
cause they won't be able to afford
a new ball every week.
How to Stop Nosebleed.
They'll also like the tip on how
to stop a star's nosebleed in the
one-minute period the rules allow,
because .nost of them won't have
substitutes good enough to put in
the star's place should he have
to leave the game.
In fart many readers will hold
that this completeness is the
book's greatest charm. The Kan
sas coach chats informally about
officiating, equipment, box office
eppeal, esprit de corps (don't
overlook this, coaches), broad
casting, anu twelve-foot goals. In
fact it's almost impossible to men
tion any phase of the game, no
matter h.nv closely or distantly re
lated to actual play, that this
book doesn't treat.
Posed by Kansas Quint.
Moreover it is profusely illlus-
trated with diagrams that are
plain and easily understood, and
pictures posed by the same Kansas
players Oklahoma fans have seen
in thrilling action many times at
Norman.
The Kansas coach's flair for
dramatization crops out in the
final section which he titles 'Tales
of the Yesteryears." All those
stories are valuable to coaches in
that Doctor Allen tells how he
keyed up his boys for the cham
pionship games, what he told
them that made them want to win.
And any coach will tell you how
extremely important this team
psychology is.
22 Winners In 28 Years.
That's the way the book goes.
It'a just "Phog" Allen talking
about basketball and what man
in the country knows more about
it or has taught it more success
fully? 22 championships in 28
years) ?
What's that? You still want to
know how "Phog" stopped that
nosebleed? Write the McGraw
Hill Book company. New York
City, enclose your check for four
bucks and when the book comes,
turn to page 425.
IOWA STATERS MEET

IN BIG SIX TITLE FRAY
Cyclones End Season's Play
In Effort to Upset
'Boy Scats.'
AMES, Feb. 23 The Iowa State
college basketball quintet which
nearly spoiled the Big Six title
hopes of the University of Kansas
here Monday night will strive to
really accomplish an upset Satur
day night. The young Cyclones
bring down the curtain on their
1938 season in a Big Six game
with the Oklahoma "Boy Scats" in
state gymnasium.
Should Nebraska upset the
league leading Kansas Jayhawks
at Lincoln Saturday night, the
Sooner-Cyclone struggle here will
be a crucial one in Big Six circles.
The Jayhawks have lost only one
loop game while the fast breaking
Sooners have dropped two.
Cyclones Take Kansas.
Beaten badly in every Big Six
game away from home this winter.
the Cyclones upheld a satisfactory
home record against Kansas here
Monday. For 32 minutes the Jav-
hawks' Big Six loop lead hung by
a thin thread. For that length of
time a fighting Iowa State team
held the lanky champions on even
terms. Not to be denied, Coa:
Allen's rangy Kansans put on thsj
steam in the closing minutes anA
raced through a tiling Cydorn
five for eight points and a 31-J4
victory.
The starting Cyclone lineup
which went more than three
fourths of the distance Monday
will get the call ugainst the "Boy
Scats" from Oklahoma.
