The Jayhawkers, with their backs to the wall, will play an improved Iowa State team at Ames, Iowa, Saturday night with hopes of a conference victory getting them back into the Big Seven title race. With the game a "must" on the K.U. slate, Coach "Phog" Allen's team must defeat a towering Cyclone club that has lost only one out of eight home games this year and is the present owner of a three-game winning streak.
Kansas is expected to open with the same five that has started all games this year (except for Charlie Hoag who is now in Jerry Waugh's place). This lineup includes Bill Lienhard and Bob Kenney, forwards; Clyde Lovelette, center, and Bill Houglund and Hoag at the guard spots.
Coach Allen indicated after Thursday's practice that senior Dale Engel and sophomore Dean Kelley would be used more in the future to provide better ball handling and speed to the K. U. attack.
Kansas, with a 12-6 season record including a 5-2 conference mark, will be out to score its fifth straight victory over Iowa State and third in a row over the Cyclones in conference play.
After winning 64 to 43, 67 to 42,
and 66 to 52 games with Iowa State
last year at Kansas City (conference tourney). Lawrence, and Ames respectively, Kansas added another 75 to 51 victory over Coach Clayton "Chick" Sutherland's club this year in the annual Kansas City tourney classic.
Saturday's game in the tail-corn state matches individual offensive play against team scoring balance. Kansas will lead with its Ambling Alp of Mount Oread—Cumulus Clyde Lovellette—and Iowa State will attempt to match his scoring with the Big Seven's seventh, eighth, and ninth leading scores
These point makers are center and Capt. Sy Wilhelm, 92; forward Gay Anderson, 84, and guard, Jim Stange with 79 points over the Cyclones' eight-game route.
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Enlistment in the armed forces has taken a seven-man Kansas athletic toll to date, four of them being football players. This quartet includes Fox Cashell, a regular defensive halfback last year; George Abel, Lawrence guard; Don Clement, Hiawatha halfback; and Caird Currie, freshman halfback from Chicago.

Even harder hit was Bill Easton's track team which lost its top men in the shot put, javelin, and broad jump.
Cashell, the lone letterman of the group, hasjonied the Marines; Clement the Air Corps, and Abel and Currie the Navy.

We think the Jayhawkers can expect one of their toughest conference tests of the year when they play Coach Clayton "Chick" Sutherland's Iowa State Cyclones at Ames Saturday night.
Al Bouchard, Ottawa senior, who held promise of reaching 23 feet in his specialty, and Les Bittner, a 47-foot shot putter, entered the Air Corps. Hall Smith, Topeka sophomore, who bettered 200 feet in the javelin last spring, enlisted in the Army.
And this desire has been achieved since the Cyclone coach inked his new document. Iowa State has won three straight and has looked more impressive in each game.
target of student fire to be dismissed for a poor season this year record now 9-8, recently received a one-year renewal contract and his players are determined to make Sutherland's conspirators look bad by finishing the season in a blaze of glory.
Sutherland, who has been the
The Cyclones have won their last two home starts defeating Creighton university, 75 to 49, and Nebraska by an even more impressive 67 to 51 margin.
In the Nebraska game, the 5,000 fans attending the game were thoroughly satisfied with their team's showing and displayed the best school spirit of the season.
This new student support for Sutherland adds up to a busy evening indeed for the Allenmen. Unless Kansas plays its best ball of the year on the road, the Jayhawkers are likely to return home Sunday with a 5-3 conference record instead of a 6-2 mark.

A pair of shorties, forward George Hess, a 5-foot 9-inch hustler, and guard Sam Long, a 5-foot 11-inch sophomore, will start with their tall high-scoring teammates. Hess and Long add speed, ball handling, and defensive scrap and drive to the Cyclones' rebounding power off both boards.
Kansas Cage Team To Ames By Bus
This three-tall, two-small combination has been effective in recent games. Iowa State's latest victory was a 63 to 59 win over Colorado at Boulder. In the game previous to the Colorado affair, Iowa
A 12-player traveling squad, accompanied by Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen, assistant Coach Dick Harp, trainer Dean Nesmith, sports publicity director Don Pierce, and student manager Wayne Louderback left here at 1:30 p.m. today in the University's bus for Ames, Iowa, where K U. blasts Iowa State Saturday.
The team will stay at the Sheldon-Munn hotel in Ames and return to Lawrence Sunday morning. Upon arrival home, the Jayhawkers will practice in Hoch auditorium in preparation for Monday's game here with Oklahoma.
The following players are making the trip: Bill Lienhard, Bob Kenrey, Clyde Lovelette, Bill Houglund, Charlie Hoag, Buddy Bull, Dale Engel, Sonny Enns, Dean Kelley, John Keller, Dean Wells, and Bill Schaake.
State scored an impressive 67 to 51, home victory over Nebraska.
Kansas will throw Lovellette, the Big Seven's greatest individual scorer of all-time, at the Cyclones and hope that big Clyde can hit the hoop. The Jayhawkers must improve their hustle off the backboards or Iowa State's trio of big men, Wilhelmi, Stange, and Anderson, will control the rebounds and the probable outcome of the game.
Lovellette is averaging 23.5 points a game in 18 games this year and 24.3 in seven conference games. The big fellow needs only 33 more points to raise his career scoring total to the 1000-point mark.
A Kansas victory over Iowa State will also allow "Phog" Allen to post his 400th (includes only conference games) coaching victory during his 41 years in collegiate basketball.

BUDDY BULL is expected to see action against Iowa State at Ames Saturday as Coach Allen attempts to improve his team's ball handling and shooting. Bull, a 6-foot 1-inch senior from Columbus, can play either forward or guard.
Lovellette Expected To Establish New Big Seven Marks For 2nd Straight Year
The Jayhawkers' 6-foot 9-inch scoring marvel, Clyde "Mouns" Lovellette, is well along the road to his second consecutive Big Seven conference individual scoring title. And he may even exceed the blazing pace he established last year.
Through his first seven games the All-American Alp has scored 170 points, never hitting less than 18 against any conference foe.
with five games remaining, Lovell-lette needs 107 oints to match last season's record outpour of 277 over the 12-game conference route.
This is good enough for a 64-point bulge over his nearest rival, Nebraska's Bob Pierce, and 17 tallies more than he collected at the same more than he collected at the same stage of the league race last year.
This means accumulating an average of 21.4 points per game in his closing five. His current league average is 24.5. Lovelleie needs 123 points in KU's remaining six games to equal his overall output of 545 for his sophomore season last winter.
He broke past 400 last Monday by rimming 24 against Missouri to raise his 18 game total to 422.
