LAWRENCE, Kan., Jane ,---Running their own string of consecutive
| victories at home to 23 and knocking Iowa State out of the ranks of
the undefcated teams will be the aim of the Kansas Jayhawks Monday
night.

It will be the first Big Six game of the season for the Iowa State
Cyclones who reared through eight non-conference games without a defeat,
The Jayhawks dropped their initial conference tilt, bowing by a score
of 42-31 to Oklahoma at Norman.

Offenses of the two teams will present a great contrast. While
Towa State is a well-rounded team, with all five of the men good scor-
erw, the Jayhawks will depend mainly on the offorts of onc man, Howard
Engleman.

The blond Kansas ace led the ficld by a wide margin in the scoring
in non-confercnee games, averaging 17.4 points in a came compared with
an average of 10.2 for the man in second place. Engleman also leads
the scoring in Big Six gemen, hervditie chalked up 15 points against Ok-
lahoma .

Only other K. Us. man with an average of more than 5 points & game
in non-conference contests is Bob Allen, senior center. Bob had a 9.4
average. On the other hand, all five of the Cyclone first stringers
boast averages of better than five points a GAME »

High man for Iowa State is Gordon Nicholas, husky sonics, with a
mark of 8.9 points a game. Other averages are 6. 6 for Carol Schneider
6 foot 6 inch ince, 6.0 for Al Budolfson, forward, 5.9 for Dale DeKos:
ter, guard, and 5.4 for Fred Gordon, forward.

With four of the Jayhawk starting berths fairly well set, a big
scramble is going on for the fifth, ‘Battling it. ‘out for. the forward
perth arc Bill Hogben, John Bucscher, Norman Sanneman and Vance Haile
Hogben is a senior, while the other three are now men.

Hall's bid for first string consideration wes a scoring burs? of
22 points in a recent scrimmage. However he is not as polished a pLay+
cr as the othor three mon, Bueschor seems to be the leading contender
for the spot at present.
