Kansas! regulars back in action are Howard Engleman and
Ralph Miller, forwards; Bob Allen, center; and Dick Harp, guard.

What the Jayhawks lack this year is height. Although they are not
midgets, the Kansas players are just of average height, with no giants
to compare with these on other conference teams.

John Kline, junior guard, is the tallest man on the squad
at 6 feet 3. Kline is a rugged rebound man and usually is inserted into
the Kansas lineups when the Jayhawks are up against e man 6 feet 5
inches tall or taller.

Ordinarily, however, Bruce Voran, another junior, will hanitie
be Dick Harp's running mte at guard. Voran is a much smoother player
than Kline and is a better scorer. He is an even 6 feet tall.

Engleman, a brilliant scorer, should rank high in the conference
sforing race. He is a sensational one hand shot and is poison around the
basket. Last year, against Oklahoma, he set a new K.U. individual scoring
record of 27 points.

Allen plays the "quarterback" position as it is known on his
father's teams. He calls the plays on offense and starts each play.

He is a beuufiful ball handler and a fine"feeder".

Miller was handicapped by a “football knee" last yeaf and
will be held down by the same affliction this year. Don Ebling, senior
letterman, probably will alternate with Miller at forward.

The first team probably will linemg up with Miller and Engleman,
forwards; Allen, center; Harp and Voran, guards. The second team will be

Ebling and Bruce Reid, forwards; Jack Sands, center; Kline and Bill Hogben,

guards. 7
Nebraska will be strong, basing its hopes for a godd season

on height and some fine sophomores. Back from last year's team are Al
Randall, 6 foot 7 inch center; and Don Fitz, 6 foot 4 inch guard. A
brilliant sophomore prospect is Sid Held, 6 foot 4 inch guard. Sophomores
also probably will man the forward posts, as a number of good new men
are available here. These include Goetz, Radtke and Grote,
Iowa State which won five conference games last year and
lost five, expects to be tougher this winter. Bill Bliss, big guard,
was the only regular lost and sophomore additions are very promising.
Bob Harris, racehorse forward; Don Beresford, forward; Al
Nicholas, burly center; and Bob Menze, little guard, are the Cyclones!

returning regulars. Beresford has lost his first team post to Al

Budolphson, a sophomore sensation, but the other three are starters again.
