UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FEBRUARY 20,1947
By BOB DELLEING (Daily Kansas Sports Editor)
Tonight's game with Kansas State will be a decisive factor in the Big Six race for both the Jayhawkers and the Cardinals to raise themselves in the standings.
The Wildcats, now sharing the cellar position with Nebraska, need a victory to assure themselves a higher rung on the ladder. The Cornhuskers will defend their home court against Missouri Saturday in a crucial game for both clubs.
Friday night brings together the Oklahoma Sooners and the Iowa State Cyclones at Ames and rounds out the requirements for making this weekend the most important of the regular season.
The Cyclones, says Head Coach Louis Menze, have the easiest spot in the Big Six. They are out of the running as far as the championship is concerned, but have the power to kill the title hopes of both Kansas and Oklahoma, or at least deal them a heavy blow.
In other words, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain as far as revenge for former defeats will take them. There's no pressure on the Iowa State squad, which just makes it that much tougher for the rest of the conference.
The Cyclones are looking forward to their last two games of the season, which will bring Oklahoma and Kansas to Ames and which will give the home squad a chance to knock off their second and third titlists in succession.
Menzle is banking on his three ace guards, Ron Norman, Bill Block, and John Sheperd who will draw the job of guarding Gerald Tucker, Dick Reich, and Paul County, spearheads the Sooner attack.
Menzle also praises the work of the Wehde twins, Ray and Roy, who accounted for 36 points in the last game. Ray, team captain, was named "Iowa State Athlete of the Week" by the 630 Club at Ames.

Charlie Black, ace Kansas forward rates second behind Gerald Tucker in scoring average, but due to the number of games played, rates only eight in total points, tied with Dick Reich of Oklahoma.
The University High school Eagles will play their version of the Kansas-Missouri game tomorrow when they tangle with the DeSoto squad at the Lawrence Community building at 4 p.m.
The DeSoto team defeated the Eagles 36-31 at DeSoto two weeks ago, but since that time the U.H.S. squad has won two out of three. The two "B" teams will play a preliminary game.

Jayhawkers Will Try To Make It 23 In A Row In Aggie Tilt Tonight
Coach Howard Engleman of the Kansas Jayhawkers will lead his squad into action against the Kansas State Wildcats, coached by fiery Jack Gardner, in Nichols gymnasium at Manhattan tonight.
The Kansas State squad will enjoy the privilege of home court, and will have the psychological urge for revenge because of the 50-40 defeat handed them at Lawrence Jan. 28.
The Aggies again will be out to crack the Kansas string of 22 victories which has extended since 1937 when the Aggies took their last victory.
Another strong incentive for the Aggies will be the chance to knock the Jayhawkers out of their lone remaining chance at the Big Six title and at the same time pull themselves out of the conference earl.
Coach Engleman will pit his twoteam system against the Wildcats with Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher, Owen Peck, Wendell Clark, and Ray Evans as probable starters
Freshman star Harold England will see plenty of action in the ball game, and his ability to play any of the three positions will add to his playing time.
The task of guarding Charlie Black will probably fall to Jerry Patrick and Marlo Dirks who exchange time at the center slot for Kansas State.
Other members of the second unit are Jack Eskridge, Claude Houchin, Johnny Dewell, a trio of 6 foot 4 inchers, Bill Sapp, Sonny Enns, and Charles Penny.
Harold Howey, high-scoring Wildcat forward, may have trouble unlimbing his offensive guns tonight with Peck and England exchanging times guarding him. Peck is generally recognized through the Midwest as one of the top "little man" defensive players in the country.
Rounding out the first five for Kansas State will be Dave Weatherby or Charles Krone at forward, and Ki Thomas and Jack Dean at guards.
2.
Officials will be Ed. Ellis and Cliff Ogden.
