Jayhawkers Will Battle Iowa State Cyclones at Hoch Tomorrow Night After Improving Defensive Tactics
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers will attempt to snap back into the winning side of the ledger when they tackle the Iowa State Cyclones in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night.
After dropping a close battle to the Oklahoma Sooners last Saturday night, they have been practicing all week on a defense which they hope will stop Iowa State's potent scoring attack. Coach Louis Menze reported after the Cyclones scored only 32
Miss Morrill has chosen "How fats and oils fight the war" as her subject. Miss Marks will speak on "Medicine at the battle front" and Stutz will have "Robot bombs of Germany" as his subject.
points against the Missouri Tigers last week that the Tigers had the best defense in the league.
Jayhawkers Defense Improved
Professor Buehler will accompany the group as master of ceremonies.
Jayhawkers Defense Improved Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen will attempt to show the Cyclones that the Jayhawkers can also produce a defense if necessary. At least, Dr. Allen says it will be better than last week. Time after time, the Jayhawkers lost leads to the Sooners through faulty defense work.
Moffett Returns to Squad
Kirk Scott will probably get the assignment of guarding Jim Myers, leading individual scorer in the conference with a 14.3 average. Scott held Hines, Oklahoma midget star, to two long shots during the last half of the last game. Gus Daum will start his first game for the Jayhawkers at a guard post and will probably be paired against Bob Mott, 6 foot 3 inch center, who ranks fifth in the individual scoring with a 10.7 average.
Gordon Reynolds, leading Jayhawker scorer, and Charles Moffett will be the starters at the forward positions. Moffett spent the first four days of this week in Watkins Memorial hospital with a boil on his chin but was out for practice last night. The fifth starter will not be announced until tonight's practice, according to Dr. Allen.
Three students from the K.U. victory speakers bureau will speak before high school assemblies in three Kansas towns Monday, Prof. E.C. Buehler said this morning.
The open spot is the "quarterback" position. Either Moffeffett or Scott can play this position though, so the fifth man could be a guard, forward, or a center. Possibilities include Herb Heim or Dean Corder, both of whom have started the first three Big Six games, Owen Peck, Wyandotte high star who scored well in December games, or "Whitey" Carlson, blond New Jersey forward who also scored well in non-conference games.
Frances Morrill, College senior,
Serah Marks, College junior, and
Richard Stutz, sophomore in engineering,
will speak at 9 a.m. in Effingham, at 10:45 a.m. in Horton, and at 2 p.m. in Hiawata.
