TO TAKE HAWKEYES
Kansas Director of Athletics
in Favor of Iowa Team.


vorably.
1t had been indicated Iowa might
seek membership in some other cir
cult.
"Our attitude toward Iowa is very
! friendly" Doctor Allen said. He
pointed out that G. G. Williams, fac
ulty athletic adviser at Iowa, formerly
held that position at Kansas and that
he had implicit confidence ia his con-
duet of Iowa sports.
1t was known Big Six officials were
| favorable toward seven-team men,
bership. Rumors came out of con-
ference of the schools officials at
Kansas City to the effect that pos
sibility was suggested whereby three
Big Ten schools, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Iowa, might join with three
Big Six schools, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska, to form a new conference.
In that case, DOCTOR Alien indicated
recently, a seven-team circuit would
be considered, with Oklahoma or Kan
sas Aggies favored to belong.
81 think that Schmeling looks to be
the most dangerous of the heavyweight
contenders," said Gene Tunney. "He
is fast and he can nit and within a
couple of years he should be a fine
fighter.
at may be that Max will be set
back for a while by the automobile
accident he had. 1t kept him in bed
Tor couple of months. / asked him
to lunch when | was in Germany, but
he was still laid up and couldn't
come. This means, of course, that
he hasn't done any boxing for some
time and will have to work himself
back into shape.
"Schmeling tore the sheath of a
tendon in his ankle I did the same
thing once to a tendon in my right
hand. Pitchers sometimes do it to
their elbows. 1t takes a long time
to heal"
The new Ralph Jones blackboard,
adopted by the Western conference, is
causing considerable difference of
opinion among coaches and players.
The Jones blackboard is a plate of
enameled steel, and the basket is
bolted to it much more firmly than it
could be on the glass bank formerly
in USE
The main effect it has On the game
is that being rigid the ball rebounds
much more than it did from the old
bank. This makes dribble-in shots
harder to make, some of the payers
say, and on long shots the ball bounds
back seven or eight feet and tends to
end pileups under the basket.
This tends to eQualize the game"
according to one coach. big men
like Stretch Murphy no longer hold
so great an advantage of height over
shorter men. A rebound going back
seven or eight feet makes it impoS-
sible for tall man to follow up and
push the ball into the ring"
Looking back over all the games
Army and Notre Dame had played,
Coach "Biff' Jones, of the Army, viz.
idly recalls the 1915 contest. In his
talk at the Notre Dame banquet he
said:
1T was only two minutes or so to
play when the Army gave up the ball

Dick Hanley, coach of the North
western Wildcats, says high school
experience is not essential for a cam
di1ate but adds that it is better to
have first-year men well grounded in
fundamentals of the game. Otherwise
q man is too busy learning fundamen-
tails in his first and perhaps second
year, and misses absorbing the sys-
tenn of play taught by the particular
coach. I'D rather have big man
with speed" Hanley says, who has
had little or no high school expert
