from last year's outfit. He got in the going consistently when Armand
Dixon left just prior to the Nebraska game. “Sparky” has been a great
little fighter, but our team has been handicapped by size all this year.

Don Barrington, V-12, is a fullback on the football team and a forward
on the basketball team, stands 6 feet 1 inch and is our most aggressive,
hustling rebounder. He did not »play basketball in high school but starred
on the Kansas City, Kansas, Junior College team last year.

Bob Bock, a civilian, has not played in many games, comes from Macks-
ville, Kansas, and is sport editor of the Kansan. He is going in the air
corps March first.

Dean Corder, a civilian, is a son of the superintendent of schools at
Welda, Kansas. Dean plays quarterback, and is a very light, scrappy, aggres-
sive fellow, but he has not been able to score much in the early games.

Dean also will enter the air corps March first.

Don Diehl, V-12, of Smith Center, Kansas, played under Bill Greene.
Don is a big, aggressive fellow but is unable to hit the basket from a
guard position,. which renders him less efficient as a versatile goal-
Shooting guard.

Willard Frank, V-12, played under Godlove at Ottawa, has a bad knee
which handicaps him, but he is an intelligent player. Louis Goehring, V-12,
from Arkansas City, was second hight point man in the Ark Valley League
last year, but was restricted until January and was not ablé to get into the
line-up until our season was well along.

If these boys miss out on any of their — they are restricted
for a week-end, a week, or maybe a month. Lou's studies caused his diffi-
cultye And until they bring up their studies the boys are restricted from
one month to the nexte

We lost Clay Hedrick and Kirk Scott in December. The boys did not
come back to practice in January, preferring to play intramural ball.

William Lindquist, a freshman fron Creighton University, anda 4F
boy on account of a punctured ear drum, is playing forward and quarterback,
and doing @ good jobe Bob Malott, son of Chancellor Malott, just turned
17 in October. Bob played last year on the University High (Oread) team.
He is still young and rather frail, but is making profress and getting in
big time competition in good wtyle. I predict that before Bob Malott
graduates from the University there will be many people whe will see the
fine handwork of Tusten Ackerman in this young chap. He has splendid
coordination, is intelligent and aggressive, but his lack of weight
operates against him.

Lloyd Palmer, V=-12, of Postville, Iowa, showed up splendidly the
first of the season, but seems to have hit a slump. Palmer was an excellent
high school player, as was Lou Goehring, but there is a lot of difference
between high school and college ball. It is a big change from high school
to college and this is evident in most of these first year men's worke They
camot or at least, do not show that reckless abandon and hard drive that
characterizes college ball over high school competition.

Homer Sherwood, V-12, of Arkansas City, has stolen the quarterback job
from Dean Corder and Bill Lindquist. This positim is very difficult to
