TUESDAY. JANUARY 25, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Already having suffered losses that would leave most Big Six clubs beyond repair, the Iowa State Cyclones still will present a potent five against the Jayhawks at Ames Saturday night. The Cyclones started the season off by edging out the mighty Iowa Seahawks, but since that time they have lost Lloyd Kester, regular guard who was the leading scorer for the team; Leo Schneider, second string center who was a fresh numeral winner last year; and most recently another starter, Lyle Naylor, a tricky guard who starred with Drake last winter.
Stocked with Talent
The Cyclones, despite these losses, will can field a quintet of regular varsity lettermen from 1942, something few teams in the nation can do. At forwards Coach Menzel has the Wheede twins, Ray and Roy, who were starters for him last year. Ray being high scorer of the team. Then at center, there is All-American Price Brookfield from West Texas State. When Dr. Allen first heard of Brookfield's being sent to the Cyclone school he humorously commented that Brookfield, a versatile Phi Beta Kappa, could take core of most of the Wartime Big Six teams. The giant Texan, however, has not as yet hit the scoring pace he was expected to reach as he scored only five points against K-State, 10 against Missouri, but was hot in counting 18 points in 28 minutes against Nebraska. Jayhawk Don barrington will probably get the horse of holding the lanky flyer down.

Dependable Guards
At the guards Menzue will also have two regulars in his own Gene Oulman, 6-3, and the smooth working Bob Sauer, naval trainee who performed well with Washington U. of St. Louis last year.
Five Fouls?
Recently Coach Bill Chandler of Marquette had his boys play a regulation basketball game with a pregame "five-foul" agreement. Chandler, long an advocate of givingagers an extra foul, would have a player put out of the game after his fourth foul for a period of three minutes after which he might reenter the game. It is similar to the hockey "penalty box" ruling by which offenders are put in the penalty box for a certain length of time. in hockey, unlike basketball, the offender cannot be replaced while serving penalty and his team is likewise short handed. Chandler believes that the fifth foul will makeagers less cautious after committing their third error and consequently will play and drive harder. Many times a player will commit three fouls comparatively early in the game, and under such handicap he is so careful, he loses much of his effectiveness. Also many times star
8 Former Students Receive Army Wings
Receiving their silver wings and commissions as second lieutenants in the Army Air Corps last week were eight former University students. These flyers, all combat pilots, have already been assigned to active duty.
Lt. Harry J. Huff was graduated from Foster Field, Victoria, Tex., while Lieutenants Frank E. Harvey and Joe W. Payne were both commissioned fighter pilots at Eagle Pass, Tex.
Three KU Men Shine In Military Training
From a group of 800, who had just finished the officer's training period at Camp Davis, N. C., eight were chosen to do special study in advanced electronics. Three of the eight chosen were former University of Kansas students. They are Vernon McKale, who was president of the Student Council last year, George Johnson, and George Verhage. These men will do their work at Harvard University.

players, who the fans pay to see play, have a bad habit of fouling and are often ousted from the game in the crucial moments. This was quite true of Kansas Charley Black last year. The aggressive, fighting type of player is thus hampered.
Allen's Solution
Dr. F. C. Allen does not advocate directly the five-foul plan. Rather, it all ties up with his campaign for the 12-foot goal. With the baskets at that height, he claims (after considerable experimentation) that fouling and bodily contact under the bucket will decrease nearly 80 per cent. And it is under the basket where most fouling occurs. The 12-foot basket with its consequent greater rebounding area will make the game, according to Allen, a lot more open and cleaner with far less contact. The drive in and lay up, cause for many fouls, will be removed.

Glancin' Around In American Colleges
A special detail of army men is employed by Iowa State College to hoist and lower the flag on the compus each day. Formerly, ROTC members were selected to perform the duty for one month at a time.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower visited the Kansas State campus while visiting in Kansas recently. His presence on the campus was kept secret, and the news of his visit was withheld until the War Department announced that the General was back from England.

A new study program for naval trainees has been initiated by the University of Minnesota's physics department. Volunteer classes, consisting of the conference method of study, meet from 7 to 9 p.m. During this time, students ask questions and work and discuss problems with the instructors.
Frank Vandiver, 18-year-old son of University of Texas' Prof. H. S. Vandiver, has recently had three articles dealing with the confederate food situation, the Confederate Navy and Confederate Army at Macon, Ga., published in Texas and Louisiana historical journals. Vandiver is now writing the life story of Confederate chief of ordinance, Gen. Josiah Gorses.
With the purchase of 25 cent war stamps, University of Southern California students were given rides in a jeep during the opening of the 4th War Loan Drive. The ride consisted of an eight block course around the campus.

KU Is Outstanding Research Center
The University has become one of the outstanding research institutions in the central United States through its Kansas Research Foundation, headed by Prof. E. A. Stephenson of the mining, metallurgical and petroleum departments. In May this organization was chartered as an independent corporate body under the state laws of Kansas.
Under its program the Foundation seeks to answer the question of what Kansas has to offer that can be of use industrially, commercially, and financially to the people of this state. Cooperating with the Foundation in its research are members of the engineering, medical, pharmaceutical, and bacteriological staffs of the University.
Research in Plastics
Through this project the Kansas Industrial Development commission has appropriated $50,000 for research toward the exploitation of Kansas natural resources. Scientists at the University are now-working on the production of synthetic gas from natural gas, to be utilized for the production of such materials as gasoline and fuel oil.
Research in plastics is now being carried on at the University. A laboratory has been completely equipped for photo-elastic studies and is now ready for use in the new engineering research building. This building has attracted national attention because it is built of stabilized earth blocks, developed through research by Prof. W. C. McNown, head of civil engineering at the University. McNown is continuing his research work which promises to stimulate low cost building construction.
The State Board of Health has appropriated $2,000 for further research in the curtailment of brine production in oil wells and the subsequent pollution of Kansas streams. Work of the Foundation promises to effect the recovery of many thousands of barrels of additional oil.
Kinney Process is Very Important
Kinney Process is Very Important In the development of a successful process for the extraction of aluminum from Kansas clays, Prof. E. D. Kinney conducted important research last year. The foundation has acquired the rights to the Kinney process.
In the field of medicine, Dr. O. O. Stoland, secretary of the School of Medicine and professor of physiology is conducting research for the relief of allergia sufferers by use of ethylene disulphonate. Dr. J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy, is making great progress on a process for the extraction of alkalioles from the Kansas Jimson weed. Dr. Charles B. Drake, of the department of bacteriology, is working on more efficient purification methods for penicillin.
Iowa State College is planning a new recreational program for V-12's on the campus.
