STRONG A&M TEAM HERE NEXT TUESDAY sees.

Coach F. G. "Phog” Allen's Jayhewker basketball team, easy winner
over the freshman squad last week, will have 11 it can handle in the form
of Oklahoma A. and M. in the season's opener Tuesday, Dec. 5, in Hoch audit-
orium.e

Last year Kansas dropped two games to the Cowboys at Stillwater,
and took the single return game here late in the season.

Henry Iba, crafty skipper fer the Oklahomans, has another power=
house coming up this vear and should prove one of the toughest foes the Jay-
hawk cagers encounter all season. Following is an A. and M. dope story teke
en from the Daily O'Collegian, student paper at Stillwater:

“Por the coming season Iba has some of the best material ever as-
sembled at a midland school, Former all-state high school players from three
_ states are among the 20 varsity candidates that include eight lettermen, two
squadmen and 10 sophomores.

"Except for one guard, Iba could start the same team Tuesday night
that finished last year's campaign. Forwards Harvey Slade, senior, and Gene
Smelser, junior; Center Jess Penick, senior and Guard Howard Doyle, senior,
are all back this year.

"“owever, Iba plans to use Renick, picked as a forward on the Alle~
Missouri Valley conference team of 1939, at either a forward or guard berth.
Slade, too, may be shifted to a guard position.

“o¢her returning lettermen are: Forwards Art Johnson, senior; and
Harvey Pate, junior; Center Howard Francis, junior; and Guard dack Hopkins,
junior

. "no doubt some of the lettermen will have to hustle to make Iba's
club this season with so mich fine new talent available.

"Pour six-foot, five-ineh centers are paced by Vernon Sehwertfeger,
a junior college transfer from Dodge City, Kansas. Three sophomore pivot
men are Merb Kirchmeyer, Cushing; Eugene Bell, Jay; and Nerschel Gray, Chickasha.s

“Bidding hard for a forward position are four cracker jack sophomores,
Leds Eggleston, J.T. Newman, Charles Scheffel and Roy Gardner. Eggleston is
a former all-Oklahoma high school forward who averaged 21 points a game for
his four years at Walters, Oklahoma, Newman counter 622 points for games
in his senior year at Williams high of Quaneh, Texas. Seheffel and Gardner
were stars of strong Enid and Ramona high school teams.

“three sophomore guards includ@ Leroy Floyd, twice all-Kansas high
sehool guard from Argonia, Kansas; Bud Milliken, all-Missouri high sehool
in his senior year at Ste Joseph, Missé@uri; and Ralph Clovis of El
