Altogether, the colorful, deliberate-passing, cool-shooting Punchers played 28 games during the ssason, Winning all but three. The first loss was suffered in the opening conference game, with qrinnell producing a 35 to 33 victory which later wes avenged at Stillwater, 57 to 16, The second came at the hands of the University of oklahoma's "Boy Scats," 31 to 28, after the Aggies had beaten the Sooners, 38 to 37, at the Cowboy gym. The third setback came in the first game of the national tourney when the great Temple University team of six-footers won, 56 to 44, and in doing so scored more points than any quintet ever has made ona team coached by Henry Iba. Before that game with the Owls no team had scored as many as 40 points against the Cowboys during the season, in fact only seven had gone above 30 and the 28-game season average against the Ags was only 26.4. Hence, Ibats great admiration for the Temple sharp- shooters and his resultant invitation for the Owls to play in Stillwater next winter when the new Oklahoma A. & M. fieldhouse is dedicated. The structure will be the largest and most complete in the midlands. The Aggie record was all the more remarkable when it is con- Sidered that three 1936-37 regulars, including two all-conference players, were missing from the squad when practice opened, and that Herschel inn, who had started several ganes at guard, was declared in- eligible for the second semester of play. Merle Rousey, an all-con- ference guard, and Taylor Little, his running mate, were the 1936-37 regulars who had been graduated while R. c, Cox, all-conference forward and the team's leading scorer, decided not to compete, but will be available for his senior year of conipetition in 1939-40, Thus, at the start, Coach Iba had only two holdover regulars from the previous year, Bill Barringer, all-conforeice center, and the Inidget forward, Dick Krueger. Outstanding letterrisn who also were members of the squad were Charles Kalsu, center; Carroll Smelser, like Krueger a tiny forward, and Merle Scheffler, best defensive player on the squad. The Cowboy freshman crop was small, but Iba found in its ranks a handful of capable players who combined with the veterans to give the school its best basketball team in history. Harvey Slade and Howard Doyle, a pair of sophomores, filled in at guard opposite Scheffler while NOVO 6 0 's-6% CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY D OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE Se RAKE UNIVERSITY WASHBURN COLLEGE Gavuesl i Cotvace St, Louis UNIVERSITY ; WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE NEWS FROM a THE CONFERENCE NEWS BUREAY® DES MOINES, IOWA 2 ku Amos Goodfox and Bob Olson helped out at forward. The burden of the scor- ing, however, fell upon the shoulders of the two clever little forwards, Krueger and Smelser, and they came through in fine style. Krueger set an Oklahoma A. & M. scoring record for the season and in addition finished third in conference point-getters with 136, averaging 9.7 points per game. The 1938 Punchers started by bowling over the crack Southwestern Teachers of Winfield, Kan., 40 to 25, and then trimmed Oklahoma City, 38 to 25; Colorado college, 29 to 18, and Colorado Mines, 50 to 17, before moving down to Oklahoma City to defend their championship in the all- college tournament. Arkansas, champion of the Southwest conference, and the Warrenburg, Mo., Teachers, who later won in the national collegiate teurney at Kansas City, were among the teams in the Oklahoma City meet, but that meant little to the Valley quintet. They marched through Baylor, 38 to 24; Bast Texas Teachers, 42 to 20; North Texas Teachers, 28 to Zo, and Southwestern, Kan., Teachers, 26 to 22, to earn a second championship. The even split with Oklahoma U., which attracted record crowds for basket- ball in the Sooner state, and victories over Central, 31 to 23, and Westmiyster, 41 to 25, completed the Cowboy nonconference schedule. In the conference, several of the Oklahoma Aggie games were close but only Grinnell could spill the champions. Creighton ran a game into overtime before losing, 37 to 35, while Tulsa shot the works in a con- test at the oil capital but fell, 33 to 29. Drake outscored the Punchers from the field in their game at Des Moines, but lost on free throws, 30 to 23. Valley teams, however, foresee a good opportunity to break the Aggie monopoly next winter since four key men, Krueger, Snelser, Barringer and Kalsu, will be lost by gredusation. Bill Williams at Drake again produced a deft ball handling team which won 10 and lost four conference games to win fourth place and which retained a mathematical chance for the championship until a last dis- astrous road trip which saw the Bulldogs lose to Washburn and Creighton. The only other Drake setbacks were, of course, at the hands of the champions. In outside play the Iowans also were successful, winning four > of six games to make the record for the season 14 victories and six losses. Outstanding victory of the Bulldo= season was a 34 to 29 decision over Phog Allen's Big Six championship University of Kansas squad in a game played in Des Moines as a feature of the Register and Tribune's annual basketball coaching school. Veterans started nearly every game for Drake, but the team was forced to make up in speed and cleverness what it lacked in size. Nick Miletich, a big, hard-playing guard, was the kingpin of the Bulldog out- fit and was the only unanimous choice on the all-conference team selected by the coaches. The other Drake guard was L. D. Norris, a cockleburr on MOTC coe (2: Ae SS fo GIL a RSs Ra Sos Te RO ae eee STE CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY TULSA UNIVERSITY DRAKE UNIVERSITY GRINNELL COLLEGE OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE St, Louis UNIVERSITY Washsorn COLLEGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE NEWS FROM THE CONFERENCE NEWS BUREAU DES MOINES, IOWA a oe defense, while Paul Griffith played center, Frankie 0'Gonnor and Bud Suter the forwards. Suter was fifth in Valley scoring, Miletich seventh, and O'Connor ninth, and Drake had the best offensive average of any con- ference team with a mark of 38.2 points per game. All three of these stars will be graduated, as will John Geertsema, reserve center. Ned Swan, center; Toky Ahrenkiel and Gale Lane, forwards; Francis Henry, Ivan Barney and Joe Lisek, guards, were among the better Drake substi- tutes. Finishing third was a University of Tulsa club which boasted four or five star players but which apparently was a little short in staying power and reserves. Bobby Jones, a senior who was about the smoothest performer in the conference, was Tulsa' ace while Glen Bradshaw and Meredith Friels, also seniors, demonstrated that they were crack shots at forward. Another Tulsa senior marksman, Ned Putler, had difficulty in finding the range this year and his play was below his previous standard. Emest McFatridge, 6-foot, 5 inch junior, was hampered by early season injuries but started many games at center, with Jones moving back to guard where Tulsa was weakest. Harold Sizemore, Gerin Cameron and Gerald McClune saw action at guard. Graduation cuts a wide swath at Tulsa, with Jones, Butler, Bradshaw, Friels, McClune, Cameron and Dwight Dussair, forward, leaving the squad which broke even in eight nonconference games. Otherwise, Tulsa lost two close ones to Oklahoma U., 23 to 16 and 31 to 29, and fell before Southwestern, Kan., Teachers, 45 to 38, and Warrensburg, Mo., Teachers, 40 to 37, in the Oklahoma City tourney. In the same meet the Golden Hurricane beat Panhandle Teachers, 46 to 21, and Baylor, 27 to 21, and in acdition won from Oklahoma City, 50 to 28, and St. Benedict's, 30 to 27. Creighton, finishing in a tie with Grinnell for fourth, had its poorest season in years, winning only nalf of 14 conference games and only 10 of 24 during the season. Guards who could guard were miss- ing from the Bluejay squad, and Coach Eacie Hickey found that it was impossible to win with a strictly offensive club. Dick Shaw, little junior forward, came through with an average of 10.5 points per game to retain his conference scoring championship with 147 points while his mate, Carl (Roman) Roh, was almost as good at making points. [n addition a sophomore sharpshooter in the person of Marshall Kittleson was unearthed and he won sixth place in the Valley scoring derby. Kittleson, Roh and sophomore Asa Kelley shared the center duties, with Roh going back to guard often. Vinson Roach, Kayo Robino, Don Barnes and Roy Engelbretson also played guard. The team's best conference games were in beating Drake and in holding the Oklahoma Aggies to a two-point margin, while its out- standing nonloop conquests were of Kansas State, 44 to 39, and DePaul, 44 to 37. Marquette nosed out the Jays, while other games wers lost to Western State, Ohio State, Syracuse, St. Thomas and St. Joseph's, both of Pennsylvania, and to Califomia.

Grinnell, which was one of the pre-season favorites, did not quite come up to expectations despite a full set of veterans including Fred Luther, Jim LaMasney and Bill Conwill, forwards; Wilbur Luick, center; Hal Dean and Bob Rerry, guards. The Pioneers, who started off with three conference victories including one over the Oklahoma Ags, displayed great scoring power but like Creighton were weak defensively. Fred Luther, who started the seagon as a reserve, dunked in 127 points for fourth place in conference scoring while Dean undoubtedly was one of the mid- land's best guards. The Pioneers, who will drop out of the Valley con- ference in the summer of 1939, won three and lost two non-league contests. After being edged out, 41 to 33, by Minnesota and 28 to 26 by Iowa State, they set a school scoring record by drubbing Carleton, 70 to 40, and then won two games from Coe, 38 to 31 and 33 to 26. Conference coaches were unanimous in agreeing that Dee Errickson of Washburn did the best coaching job in the Valley during the season. Starting with the remnants of a last-place team of the preceding year, Errickson built a team which was beating the leaders as the season ended and which went on to reach the semifinals in the national tournament at Kansas City. The work of Lee Brown, senior center who got better and better as the season wore on, verged on the sensational. Brown scored 48 points in his last three Valley games to finish second to Shaw in the point race, 10 points behind the leader. #ddie Amsbaugh, guard, and Jim Mackey, forward, two good sophomores, were other ingredients in Errickson's successful mixture. Henry Shulties was a valuable forward, with Harlan Schlicher and Dorsey Elliott dependable guards. Washburn won only six of its 14 conference games, but two of thes» conquests came in the last con- tests of the season and were over Drake and Creighton. Then in the tournament the Ichabods polished off Winona, Minn., Teachers, 37 to 36; upset a highly favored Marshal college outfit from West Virginia, 53 to Sl, and drubbed Jordan college of Michigan, 44 to 21, before losing to Warrensburg, 44 to 23, in the semifinals. For seventh place Washineton the season was a drab one, only four victories being scored in 21 games, three of the triumphs coming in the conference. Forward Adolph thlemeyer probably was the best player on Coach Hudson Hellmichts squad, which lacked really outstanding men. Dick Douglas, Jimmy Rowan, Vaughan Devine and Bill Ferfecky usually handled the forwards, with Claude Beeler and Desmond Lee playing center, Charles Gilles, Rob Gerst and Otto Butterly seeing action at the guards. Washington probably played its best game against Missouri, losing by 47 to 46, but the Bears later dropped a 45 to 28 game to the same old rival. In the city series with St. Louis University, Washington won the first gane, 38 to 35, but lost the next two, 35 to 32 and 28 to 23. More. eee THE CONFERENCE NEWS BUR DES MOINES, IOWA at -- §t. Louis U., which finished last in the Valley, was a disappoint-_ ment. Capt. Sid Mudd, guard; the Coch”: vin brothers, Denny and Bill, and — Center Danny O'Sullivan were first rank vlayers, but the Billikens proved © lamentably weak in reserves. St. Louis U. played a marathon schedule of 29 games, which may have had something to do with the fact that the team usually played well in the early stages of each contest, only to tage and lose out. The Billikens won only two Valley contests, but chalked up seven outside. conquests including a 31 to 22 victory over the University of Missouri. eee Eddie Davidson announced his resignation in April. A checkup of scoring in all contests played by Missouri Valley teams, both conference and nonconference, reveals that the average total scored was 34.8 points per game, not far above the 1936-37 mark of 33.2 despite the center jump rule change which increased the playing time. 4 ae (30) CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY DRAKE UNIVERSITY GRINNELL COLLEGE TULSA UNIVERSITY WASHBURN COLLEGE OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE ST, Louis UNIVERSITY WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE NEWS FROM THE CONFERENCE NEWS BUREAU ote eee DES MOINES, IOWA Team records: i OKLAHOMA A. & M.
