SEASON SUMMARY:
During the Christmas holidays of the 1921-22 season, Allen took his team to Minneapolis, Minn., where the Jayhawks practiced for a week against the Minnesota Gophers.  They played a game at the end of the week, and KU won 32-11.  The Gophers went on to finish third in the Big Ten, and Allen credited the work in Minnesota as helping his team in the more physical games later that season.

KU went 16-2 overall and 15-1 in the Valley, tying Missouri for the conference title.  George Rody and Paul Endacott led the Jayhawks on a team that later was declared national champion by the Helms Foundation of Los Angeles.  Rody was the conference scoring leader, averaging 15.2 points per game, and Endacott was named All-American.
