Few High Scores

Kansas State shares the “top be-
cause of a defense that is as hard
to crash as a millionaire’s pent-
house. Of the five quintets to visit |
Manhattan this fall one was held!
to 15 points for the evening’s ef-
fort,. two climbed into the 20’s,
Nebraska collected 32 and Okla-
homa 36.

Wildcat students are using Kan-
sas’ visit to show the legislature
that Nichols gym lacks size but
every knot in the floor means some-
thing to the defensemen Coach Jack
Gardner will unleash in an effort
to protect the Manhattan team’s
home record.

Only Kentucky has beaten the
Wildcats in their own lair this sea-
son, 28 to 25.

Also a Cellar Fight |

While the fight for first place
attracts most of the attention, Mis-
souri and Nebraska will be battling
just as desperately at Lincoln, with
the loser occupying the cellar.

The Tigers surprised by holding

Iowa State to a three-point victory
Saturday.
_ With those two games out of the
way scholastic problems take over
in the Big Six. Oklahoma, third
of the present leaders, meets the
Tigers on the Sooner court Friday
and. the Huskers go to Iowa State
Saturday.

Those two games are exactly half
of the conference activity billed
for the next 16 days while the
_athletes are busy with midyear ex-
aminations,

Threat to Grove Record

Engleman’s point getting activi-
ties make him a definite threat to
the 15.4 average for 10 games es- |
tablished by Frank Groves of Kan- |
sas State in 19387.

He potted 25 points Thursday as
the Jayhawks dropped Missouri |
and showed every indication that
he definitely has shaken off all
effects of the knee injury that han-
dicapped him at the start of last |
season.

The Arkansas City product, a |
senior in the school of business, |
was a potent factor in the Kan- |
sans’ bid for the 1940 National |
Collegiate Athletic association title |
and earned that group’s all-Amer- |
ica rating with his play against |
Rice, Southern California and In- |
diana University.
