ALLEN FAVORED TO WIN BIG SIX
 CHAMPIONSHIP
Nearly Every b ody Con- cedes 1t but Dean of
 Coaches Himself

KANSAS CITY, Jan. Tt will take one of the greatest upsets in years to prevent the University of Kansas from running it's string of Big Six basketball championship to five straight, in the opinion of all the conference coaches except one pr. F. c. Allen of Kansas.
 The five rival coaches point to the return of the champion Jayhawk team of last season virtually intact and to a promising group of sopho- mores, including a 6-foot-7 center.
 Dr. Allen, dean of Midwestern coaches and pilot of 12 champions in IT campaigns with Kansas, isn't con- ceding himself anything.
 Now that tney'vc awarded it to Kansas, all we have to do is play for it," he says.
 Surviving members Of the 1884 conference all-star cast are equally spread among Kansas, Iowa State and Oklahoma, each having one. Kansas all-star is Ebling, Iowa States is the big veteran center, Waldo Wegner, and Oklahoma's is Omar (BuO Browning, crack-shot guard, who was third in the indi- vidual standings with 96 points last season. Close behind was Wegner, with 94.
 Missouri retains Kenneth Jorgen- sen, the Tiger captain and only re- turning member of the 1884 all- star second string. He is head of she defense. Enforcement of the eligibility rule against outside com petition cost Missouri the services of Robert Reese, outstanding soph- omore prospect, whom Coach Geo, Edwards had counted on for the forward Job.
 Heading the all-star roster avail able for the title defense is Ray Ebling, who, as sophomore last season, equalled the conference scoring record established at 124 points for 10 games by Tom Churchill of Oklahoma in 1929.
 Others include Bob Oyler, Cor don Gray, Francis Kappelman, Will mer Shaffer, Dick Wells and Fred Harris, veterans; and John Seigle Ray Noble, John Grist and Al Wellman.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Grasping at a straw certain Republicans not making quite noise about the election of a Re- publican Congressmen in Rhode Island. And of being less familiar with the national picture than their leaders they can hardly be blamed for making thelr own party look just little bit silly
 But as a matter of information it might be apropos to mention what one Of the real Repub- licans- who has been a buwark of that once potent party before and during it's decline, thinks about the situation He is Simeon D Fess, former United States Senator from Ohio and long leader of the party organization Referring to the Rhode Island election Fess commented that the incident was too small to be considered anything of a national forecast
 The old Republican war horse went on to say that he could see nothing in the way of Roose- welt victory in 1886 but being good and loyal party man, he did add that he believed Hoover would be a strong factor in 194O
 It may be that the old veteran is still just a little gloomy as result of the 1882 landslide but the chances hundred to one that he hasn't lost his political touch Fess was name to be reckoned with in the heyday of Republican rule and the old master probably still knows of what he speaks It may be little hard for the over enthusiastic and bleating uninformed minority party followers to take but one Of their own wise men has apparently spoken words of wisdom. The Rhode Island vote in rock-ribbed Republican New England means not a thing except that a man got elected to Congress because despite his party label he stood firmly for social security program such as Presi- dent Roosevelt has advocated and is pushing to reality It may be as a whole people we some times appear to be little confused in our ideas but there is no indication that we are so short

War and Atrocities.

(New York World -Teegram)
 Ever since the between Italy and Ethiopia became an even bet we've been listening for the atrocity barrage It has started
 Italy officially charges Ethiopian tribesnen with "mutilating childreny in mass attack on the defenseless natives of Eritrean Danakil |"
 We'd expected something more original Nut Hated children a favorite in the ancient wars between Turks and eChristians In every Balkan war it has been hauled out and served over again. During the World War it hard service.
 Unofficialy, in recent weeks imagination has been shown The charge that the Italians plan ned to scatter chemicals behind Ethiopian lines to burn the feet off the bare-footed natives showed more ingenuity. So did the story that the Ethio- plans scheme to turn lions on Il Duce's men.
 We have had more than enough of atrocity stories-whichever side puts them out
 War itself is an atroeity. No nation has gone to war, however civilized that did not com init excesses Individuals and groups commit atroc ties in this and all other countries even in peace time War merely affords larger outlet for cruelty. N ''''''.. z -ts' 1~'s' +F
 The object of wartime atrocty stories is to arouse the public against the alleged perpetrator Italy seeks to make people believe that in invading Ethiopia she is doing civilizations job. Which of course, is not true. W SA "
 Italy is said already to have spent more than $500 100000 preparing for conflict in Africa One tenth of that amount used to build roads. school houses hospitals and whatnots would have had a far greater cvilizing influence And the war hasn't started
 Italys aims, of course, are economic and terri torial, not educational. So if the has got to let's have it out along those lines. Let's have done with propaganda tales of mutilated women and children. single bomb dropped from plane, one of civilizations" proudest creations would mutilate more innocents in the fractions of a second than whole tribe of wild Danakil could mutilate in day.
 When there atrocities let's charge them up to war-not to any particular. nation Tn both sides are guilty. War makes savagcs ot all
