UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1942
To the hundreds of Hill fans who will flock over to Kansas City tonight for the big game, here are a few additional facts on the outstanding members of the Colorado crew.
Leason "Pete" McCloud, forward, six feet one inch, senior from Newton Pete was an all-conference forward last year and earned the same honor this season. The Denver Post had this to say when McCloud was named all-conference, "McCloud's one-handed shot was the most phenomenal in these parts in some time and absolutely unstoppable when he was having a good night—which was practically every night he played. In addition he was cool, heady, and saved his shots for the most important moments. It was his hot streaks that broke the backs of C.U.'s opponents more than anything else." He set a Big Seven scoring record last season with 13 points a game and broke it this year with an average of 16 points. His 18-game average this year is 15 points. Is a fighter on defense and at his best when the going is the toughest. Is dark and has an "eagle" nose, fast and can jump like a kangaroo. Works well with Bob Doll on the post.
DOLL MAY PROVIDE DIFFERENCE TONIGHT
Barney Oldham, forward, five feet eight inches, junior from Hays. "Half Pint" Oldham is one of the classiest ball-handlers you'll find. He's a fighter with worlds of hustle. Has been alternating with Heath Nuckolls at this starting post, scoring 34 points in 14 games for a 2.4 average. Barney's a crowd-pleaser and his basket eye, especially on set shots, is a luloo.
Bob Doll, center, six feet five inches, senior from Boulder. Big Bob is a junior college transfer, hailing from California originally. He was out of competition last season but was voted the most valuable player in the 1940 National Invitational Basketball tournament held in Madison Square Garden in New York. Doll is unusually fast for his size, handles himself well, and can hit the hoop with either hand. He is above average as a defensive player and clears both boards on rebounds. A good-looking lad, well liked by his teammates. Is a natural team leader. Averaged 9.6 points a game for 21 contests in 1940 and finished second to McCloud this year with an average in conference play of 12.4 points. His average for 18 games is 12.5 points. In selecting Doll on the all-conference team this year, The Denver Post said, "Doll's height, his agility, his drive and ability to go at top speed throughout the toughest of games made him a main cog in the C.U. machine. In addition he was fast, a good shot, and a tireless worker off both boards. Defensively he was tops."
George Hamburg, guard, six feet three inches, senior from Beloit. "With Onions" was a co-captain with McCloud of last year's team and is one of the finest all-around cagers the University has had. He is the director of the offense and the mainstay on defense. Was the team's second high scorer last season with 118 points in 16 games and this year tallied 158 points in 18 games. He stood eighth in the conference with an average of 9.4 points a game. Most of his points are racked up from long set shots. Is a talented rebounder and a rich customer under the bucket. Has worlds of drive on fast breaks and is an accurate passer. Great on one-handed jump shots. Made all-conference again this year.
Bob Kirchner, guard, six feet three inches, junior from Topeka. "Beany" was a regular last year as a sophomore and turned in some swell games, one of which was a 16-point output in the Garden. A lanky kid with a good basket-eye, Kirchner developed into a first-class rebound man near the fag end of last season. He scored 89 points in 16 games last year and 55 points in 18 games this season.
Don Putman, guard, five feet ten inches, sophomore from Boulder. Donnie, whose brother Warren was on last year's squad, was an all-state guard while preping at Boulder High. He has class marked all over him, is as smooth as silk, and knows his way around a cage floor. He's a good passer, a great set-shot, and a dandy team player. Possesses that "something" which makes him invaluable in close games. Tallied 44 points in 17 games this season.
Health Nuckolls, forward, five feet eleven inches, sophomore from Pueblo. Heath is another smooth all-state boy and might well be Putman's twin. They play just alike. Nichols has alternated with Oldham as the second regular forward and has more time to his credit than the Hays star. He handles the ball with ease and sureness and like Putman doesn't need a seeing-eye dog to get around the floor. Is fourth leading scorer on team with 75 points in 18 games for a 4.1 points-a-game average.
DEAN RIVALS ALLEN IN DEVELOPING COACHES
Odds and ends: Henry Iba, coach of the Oklahoma A. & M. Cowboys, claims that Bob Doll has the fastest moving pair of hands in the game of basketball today. . . . Even faster than Johnny Kotz of Wisconsin. . . . He utilizes this speed when he crosses the free throw lane on the block plays of Colorado and flicks out with either hand on shots to the hoop.
Stanford had only two of last year's nine lettermen to return this season and Coach Everett Dean is being given credit for doing one of the best coaching jobs ever seen on the West Coast. . . . Coach Dean is another Phog Allen when it comes to turning out successful coaches. . . . Hamline College, which won the National Intercollegiate tourney in K.C. last week, is coached by Joe Hutton who gained his knowledge from Dean. . . Dartmouth University, which plays Penn State tonight in the Eastern Division playoffs at New Orleans, is coached by a Dean product, Ossie Cowles. . . Branch McCracken, who won the title two years ago for Indiana over Kansas, is another as are Bill Easton of Drake University and H.B. Lee of Utah State. . . Dean is like Allen in another respect in that he can demonstrate what he is trying to teach. . . He can beat any man on his squad in a contest of set shot shooting or free throwing. . . He was 44 years old Wednesday.

HONORABLE MENTION
The highest scorer in Class B gains one of the forward berths, Dean Hue-
FORWARDS: Bud Adams, Sigma Chi; Jack Walton, Sigma Alpha Epsilon
Bill Mellison, Tuq Tal Tor, and Ed Colburn. Corruth Hall.
At the other guard spot is Jack Wilson, Sigma Chi. He led his team into the finals against the Phi Delt's and played flashy ball aii year. Wilson was one of the fastest men to compete in intramurals and his dribbling game was outstanding. He averaged 8 points a game during the season.
CENTERS: Bud Horner, Phi Kappa Psi, and Connie Voelker, Phi Gamma
Delite.
GUARDS: Mike Sheridan, Phi Kappa Pi; Marshall Hullett and Vincent Tharp, Fphi Gamma Delta; and Tom O'Neil, Beta Theta Pi.
Before the basketball season disappears entirely and the recent intramural basketball games lose all timeliness, it might be well to take a quick review of the outstanding players that performed in Class B during the past year.
Leading the cause of the Phi Delta Theta cagers during the entire season was senior guard, Clint Kanaga. He was the quarterback of the championship Phi's offense and set up all plays. He averaged 11 points a game during the season on his long set shots and his one-handed specialty attempt. Kanaga also was the backbone of the Phi Delt defense, guarding the highest scoring opponent in each game. For his fighting spirit and driving leadership, Kanaga is named captain of "B" all-stars.
Dean Huebert Leads Scoring
bert of Phi Delta Theta. He played the pivot post in excellent fashion and his hook shots were unstoppable in most games. He was above average on defense and rebounding and averaged 12.5 points a game.
The other forward spot goes to the greatest rebounder in all divisions of intramurals, Frosty Wilson of Phi Delta Theta. He controlled the rebounds on both backboards in brilliant fashion and his fighting floor-game proved the difference between victory and defeat in most of the Phi games. He averaged 5 points a game but was the best feeder on the team, passing off to other players instead of taking shots for himself.
Hartley Makes Second Team
Craig Howes of Sigma Chi earns the center position on the first team for his rebounding and scoring ability. In all Sigma Chi games he controlled most of the rebounds and was an excellent defensive man. He averaged 7 points a game.
Forward berths on the second team go to high-scoring Jimmy Brown of Phi Kappa Psi and Dub Hartley. Both players were the outstanding offensive men for their teams and played good ball throughout the season. Hartley averaged 10.2 points a game and Brown tallied 12.2 points a contest.
T. P. Nelson gains the center spot

mainly on his outstanding work in the final game against the Phi Delt's. He had an excellent long shot and also above average in rebounding.
