The 1954 trio seeking the circle’
are Chuck Duncan, Iowa State’s
6-5 center; Bob Reiter, Missouri’s
6-9 pivot, and Bob Jeangerard,
raven-haired Colorado forward.
Oddly the latter, altho a four-
year man, will be competing in
only his third tourney. He saw
no action as @ freshman. —

Duncan will come in with a 77-
point aggregate in two previous
meets. He is averaging 18.8
points thru the Cyclones’ five
pre-meet games, second best
among pre-tourney scorers. If
he maintains this mean thru the
tourney he can press his Kansas
City total to 133 points, com-
fortably beyond the century
mark.

Reiter needs only 25 tourna-
ment points to reach the 100-
club, since he has collected 75
in three previous meets. He is
traveling at a 13.0 clip, main-
tenance of which would shoot
him to 114 for tournament play.

Jeangarard, by matching his
Seasonal average of 11.7, can
just match 100 points. He needs
35 to reach the century level.

Two veterans, Burdette Hal-
dorson, 6-8 Buffalo center, and
Oklahoma’s Lester Lane, al-|
ready are safely in the Century
Circle with 108 and 107 points,
respectively. And the former
has seen action in only seven
games despite his four-year
stripes. By stretching his cur-
rent 24.5 average thru tourna-

ment play, Lane can reach 181
