ANSAS State will bid for

its fourth Big Seven

tournament cham pion-

ship with the confer-
ence’s finest mass blend of vet-
erans and sophomores.

Tex Winter is bringing along a
club built on five lettermen, two
sophomore starters and a bench
of rookie-junior reserves. With
normal development it is a con-
glomeration which figures to
contend all the way for the 1956
Big Seven flag. It carries good
size, adequate speed and high
firepower.

Stay at High Level.

‘As for the tournament, which
‘commences its tenth annual run
Tuesday night in Municipal
Auditorium, fea Wildcats have
tradition on their side. In nine
years they have finished below
third only twice. They failed to
[place in the first division only in

» lone occasion on which they
have dropped a_ first-round
game. Their 20-7 tourney won-
lost level is the composite best
among league teams. And their
three titles are the most won by
any entry. ~~

Yet the Purple will need every
gun in its arsenal and every
shred of tradition to clear even
the first round. Its foe is Iowa
State. This figures to be the
tightest match of opening set
ot games. It is the nightcap of
esday’s ° -battle set, which
jleads off with Colorade
