Erratic Wildcats Are Ready To Give Kansas Stiff Fight
"Phog" Allen's rampaging Jayhawks will be heavily favored tomorrow night when they meet Kansas State in crackerbox Nichols gym, but a sharpshooting Aggie center. Marlo Dirks, is capable of giving high-scoring Kansas a tough evening.
Coach Allen, never optimistic when his charges meet their old

rivals, predicts "a whale of a battle" from an Aggie quintet, that has proved to be erratic.
Dikks Follows Wesche
Dirks, a smooth ball-handler and a deadly one-handed shot, is giving Wildcat court fans the same type of center play that Frank Groves and Homer Wesche displayed in past years in Aggie uniforms.
Against Oklahoma Saturday Dirks stole the show, as he racked up 17 points—most of them coming from long range. Although Kansas State was outscored by Gerald Tucker and his Sooner mates 57-38, Dirks controlled rebounds and turned in a sterling defensive game.
Aggies Have Strong Guards
Aiding Dirkss with Aggie offensive chores will be speedy Bruce Holman, flashy sophomore star of last year who has yet to hit his stride this season.
Attempting to put the handcuffs on the firewagon Kansas cagers will be a duo of topnotch guards, John Bortka and George Mendenhall—one of the finest defensive men ever to wear the Wildcat purple and white. Bortka is a former Wyandotte High School ace, having performed on the same quintets with Ray Evans.
Against the scrappy Aggie squad, Allen will once again start his Iron Five, which has racked up 11 straight victories after opening the season with two defeats. Charlie Black, ace Kansas forward, will be trying to maintain his leadership in Big Six conference scoring. Mendenhall draws the assignment of guarding the tail forward.
All Scoring Threats
Should Black be held down by the Aggie defense, Allen will have on hand John Buescher, Armand Dixon, Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher, all capable of scoring splurges. Big Jack Ballard, Bob Fitzpatrick, Bill Brill and Paul Turner are reserves likely to see action tomorrow night. Friday night in the week's second Big Six conference game the Missouri Tigers will battle the Iowa State Cyclones. Both teams are young and fast. A defeat for the Missourians would virtually eliminate them from first division consideration.

Cyclones Whip N U, Join Kansas at Top
A rapidly-improving Iowa State quintet looked impressive last night in trouncing a good Nebraska five 50 to 38 and knocking the Huskers from a first place tie in conference standings with Kansas as the Cyclones moved into that spot themselves.
Facing the victors was Forward Bob Hayes, who contributed 13 points to the Cyclone total. Making the Cyclone triumph all the more impressive was the :

13 points to the Cyclone total. the more impressive was the fact that the Iowa State center, Rollin Kuebler, was not in uniform because of a charley horse. Seeners Rally To Win
Gerald Tucker, Sooner center, hit the basket for a total of 23 points as he moved up to second place in conference scoring. Tall Paul Heap, senior veteran, turned in an outstanding defensive game for the victors.
Sooners Rally To Win
In last week's top conference game, the Oklahoma Sooners rallied in the last half to pull away from the Kansas State quintet and win 50 to 38. The Sooner win came in spite of the outstanding game turned in by Wildcat pivot man Marlo Dirks.
Kansas Wins Three
