KLINE, JOHN- guard- 20 ~home, Hutchinson: gracuate of Hutchinson high
school, 1936; prepped by Coach "Chop" Cairns. Attended Hutchinson Jun-
ior College a year after graduating from Hutchinson high. One of the
few tall, rugged men on the squad this winter. Was valuable last year
as a rebound man. Takes the ball off the backboard well. Is used to
guard giants on opposing teams. A real scrapper under the basket. Not
an especially good scorer, but makes some timely baskets,

MILLER, RALPH- forward- 20 -home, Chanute; graduate of Chanute high
school, 1937; played under Coaches Dale Skelton and Tony Lockyear. One
of the two greatest high school basketball players ever developed in
the state of Kansas. "Red" DeBernardi the only one whose record com-
pares with Miller's. Averaged 19.8 points a game during his three years
of high school competition. Is equally adept at every phase of the
game, ball handling, shooting, guarding and passing. Missed about half
of the season last year due to a "football knee". Still bothered by it.

REID, BRUCH- forward- 21 -home, Arkansas City; graduate of Arkansas
City high school, 1936; coached by Everett Nicholson.’ The trickiest
ball handler on the squad. Not an exceptional scorer, but good around
the basket. Also can play the center or "quarterback" position. Val-
uable as a feeder for the sharp shooters on the team. Has been in the
starting lineup off and on during his college competition. A senior.

SANDS, JACK- center- 20 ~home, Lawrence; graduate of Erie high school,
1936; coached by Adam Kahler and Babe Lewis. Played a year at Parsons
Junior College‘after starring at Hrie high. Is a clever ball handler.
Ts left handed, which makes his passing the more deceptive. A fair
scorer, with one hand shots his most accurate means of scoring. Let-
tered last year in both basketball and baseball.

VORAN, BRUCE- guard or forward- 21 -home, Pretty Prairie; graduate of
Pretty Prairie high school, 1936; played under Coach Walter Graber.
Captain of the Pretty Prairie high team that won the state Class B
championship in 1936. Lost a year of competition at K.U. when he suf-
fered a burn on his leg prior to the 1938 season. A remarkable rebound-
er for his size. A brilliant guard on defense; sticks to his man like

a leech. Has a good left hand hook shot and is effective around the
basket.
