“27 POINTS TWICE

Twice she collected 27 points in a
game, wiping out the Kansas record

established as a player by his famed
coach in the days when one athlete
did all the free throwing for his
team.

Engleman was “hot” as a sopho-
more, then went into eclipse as a
junior with a trick knee that ham-
pered his. floor play and disturbed
his concentration. Toward the end of
the season he revived.

In the 1940 National collegiate play-
offs he sank a last-second shot for
the two points that eliminated South-
ern California. His general all- around
play won hima frist team berth on
the NCAA All-America five.

This season Engleman has two sound
knees, an improved and composed
mental attitude—and a new shot.

‘It is a soft, one-handed hook shot
from the side while driving straight
ahead. It seems to cuddle up against
the rim for a second; before dropping
through.

FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL

_ As a youngster he played basket-
ball at Arkansas City junior high
school. In hig final three years on the
high school quintet he was the sen-
Sation of the Ark Valley league, an-
nually the toughest prep cage com-
‘bine in Kansas.

While a high. schooler he also dab-
bled a bit in football and track but
since coming to Kansas the six-foot,
170-pounder has restricted his athletic
endeavors to’ basketball and tennis.
