KU Will Battle For Cellar Spot
The scorekeeper looks to be a busy fellow when the Jayhawkers and the Iowa State Cyclones square off in a battle for the Big Seven cellar position Saturday night at Ames.
Chief cause for the expected bucket barrage will be a couple of scoring aces named Petersen. Gene Petersen of Kansas, and Bob Petersen of Iowa State. Both are dangerous when they get their hands on the ball, and both will be out to see that team wins.
"Big Gene," Phog Allen's towering 6-foot, 7-inch forward showed early season form against Creighton Jan. 29 when he cut the cords for 34 points, a new K.U. individual scoring record, and Kansas rooters are hoping for more of the same at Ames.
But the Cyclones, not to be out done, boast their own scoring threat in "Little Bob" Petersen, a 5-foot, 8-inch guard, who is currently tied with Wayne Glasgo, Oklahoma forward, for the Big Seven scoring title with 66 points each. Bob can shoot from anywhere and is best firing the long ones from about 35 feet out.
Regardless of which Petersen has the best night, the important thing will be the final score, because both quintets need the victory to stay within striking distance of the loop leaders, Nebraska and Oklahoma. Coach Sutherland's Cyclones have an unimpressive record of one win against five losses, while Jayhawks are only one notch above the cellar with a slate of one win against three setbacks.
Although a three point underdog, the Kansans' hopes for victory were strengthened by the 20 point performance of guard, Jerry Waugh, against Creighton. Waugh, who is the Red and Blue defensive watchdog, will probably draw the assignment guard State's Petersen.

Frosty Cox ChidesAggies
Boulder, Col., Feb. 4—(U.P.)—Coach Forrest "Frosty" Cox of Colorado university today put his tongue in his cheek and blandly announced that he was planning to resume his basketball career.
The Buffalo mentor made the announcement after it was learned that Clarence Brannum might return to Kansas State to help the basketball team for the rest of the year. He reportedly graduated last year.
Cox wired Phog Allen, head basketball coach at Kansas university: "Please inform me if I have any eligibility left at the University of Kansas. If so, please wire your financial terms as I am interested in resuming competition."
Cox was an All-Conference cage player in 1931, and commented after sending the telegram to his old coach that "I won't be surprised if K-State adds Howard Shannon and Harold Howey to the squad before the season is over."
