1933-37 Record -- Won 4, Lost 15. Sixth in Conference.

SUMMARY OF SQUAD BY POSITIONS

LEFT FORWARD -~- Two veterans, Harlan Anderson, first reserve two seasons ago,
and Harry Roschlau, major letter winner of last season, may be displaced by a pair
of newcomers, Wendell Allan, 6-foot sophomore from Ames, and Bill Nechanicky, out=
standing in intramural basketball last season. It is likely that Allan and
Anderson will get the first call. Both are good shots but Allan has the edge in
all-around floor play.

FLOOR FORWARD (offensive guard, defensive forward) -- Minor letter winner
30b Kliebenstein, and sophomores Bob Menze, son of the coach, and Warren Maxon,
T-8ljo0unders, are the leading prospects. Though Kliebenstein is larger than the
scpiomores, the latter are fast and are clever ball-handlers. Menze's coolness,

basket eye and cleverness will probably give him first call.

CENTER =-- A four-way battle between two Ames sonhomores, Hilary Ryan and
ion Beresford, minor letterwinner Alen Kilborn and sophomore Al Munsell. Kilborn,
at 6 foot 6, is the tallest man on the squad. Ryan and Beresford, each 6 foot l,
appear to have the edge at the pivot posts

FLOOR GUARD-- Bob Blahnik, eighth high scorer in the Big Six conference,
this yeur is easily the outstanding man at this. position. Other candidates are
loro end Kliebenstéin, also prospects for the "floor" forward position. Blahnik,

bla

a rigged 6-footer, is a clever floot man, a good shot and a fighter.

BACK GUARD -- Bill Bliss, 190-pound Ames sophomore, looks like a rea
prospect. He's big, rugged, fast, a good ball handler and cool under five. An
all-state man in high school. Other prospects for this position are Mélvin Levine,
and sophomores Al Munsell and Clement Marsden.

SUMMARY: Summing up the prospects it looks as if the five Ames sophomores --~
monbers of the state high school championship quintet of 1956 =~ two other
sophomores and three veterans will do most of the playing for Iowa State this season.
anderson and Allan at one forward; Menze, Kliebenstein ond Mexon at the other; Ryan
end Beresford at center; Blahnik, Kliebenstein and Maxon at floor guard; Bliss and
one of three others at the back guard.
