Dear Doc:

I am leaving today on our trip to Missouri
and Oklahoma, and it just occurred to me that I had better write
now on what I know about Iowa.

Chapman - about 62" - leading scorer, ag-
gressive, but some of our boys who know him say that he goes
better when out in front.

Trickey - small, not more than 5'6", rugged,
was quarter back on the football team, pretty fair shot out on
the floor and a great competitor. In the clutch I would watch
him carefully. Fast

eter, Center, good tip-in man. Not
much of a threat out on the floor. Last year Michigan played théir
center in front of him as much as possible, even face to face and
it bothered him plenty. Do not believe he likes rugged contact.
From what I can recall do not believe he can whirl and shoot with
his left hand.

Siegel - great ball~handler, swell long shot
good cutter, also a forward last year. Not very tall possibly
5t9", last year was leading scorer. This year being used more as
a feeder than a scorer. I believe this boy has plenty of heart, £00.

Soderquist - their defensive rebound guard, has
not scored too heavily so far.

First reliefAfill at forward, Harsha at guerd.
Neither is good as starting man. (I am giving you this information
just from memory from a couple of games of last year. I have not
seen them this year).

Last year Iowa used a straight man-to-man de-
fense but would shift once in the front line on a crossing of men.
Believe they will try hard with long pass-outs to get a fast break.
