Sportin' Around-though he still goes in at center occasionally when the regular center, Voss leaves the game. Burness was second high scorer in the Southern Division of the Pacific Coast Conference last year with 122 points in 12 games. Leads the Indians scorers this season with 219 points in 23 games (not including playoff games in which he was injured the first night and played only a very little in the third game last night). He finished fifth in the Southern Division scoring 105 points in 12 games. Splendid rebound man, fine ball handler, one of the best shots on the squad. All-Southern Division last year and repeated again this year.

Jim Pollard—six feet four and one-half inches, 185 pounds, 19 years, sophomore. Star and leading scorer of the 1940-41 Stanford freshman team. Pollard is the best sophomore prospect to appear on the Indian campus since Hank Lusetiett arrived in 1935. Was not eligible for the first seven games the Indians played and now stands fourth among the Stanford scorers with 161 points in 18 games. He finished second in the Southern Division with 121 points in 12 games. Extremely clever passer, great rebound man, very effective on defense. An excellent shot with a brilliant floor game.
Ed Voss—six feet five and one-half inches, 215 pounds, 20 years, junior. Without a doubt the most improved player on the squad. Appeared in but 14 games last year, scoring 39 points. This season, Big Ed has played in 23 contests and is second only to Burness among the Redskin scorers with 189 points. He finished sixth in the Southern Division scoring with 99 points in 12 games. Very effective on both backboards and a fine follow shot. Clever at pivot post. An exceptionally hard worker who uses his great height to good advantage.
Co-Captain Bill Cowden—six feet three inches, 190 pounds, 21 years, senior. Third year as a regular and one of the best guards on the Coast. All Southern Division last year and repeated again this year. Stands fifth among Stanford scorers this season with 135 points in 25 games. He finished tied for fourteenth in the Southern Division scoring race with 68 points. Powerful and fast, Cowden is particularly strong on defense, although he is a threat to break loose with a "hot" night any time. Exceptionally strong backboard game. Very rugged and reliable at all times.
Howard Dallmar—six feet four inches, 195 pounds, 19 years, sophomore. Transfer from Menlo Junior College, in his first year at Stanford. Has never played guard before, having been a center. Third among Stanford scorers with 184 points in 25 games and seventh in the Southern Division with 97 points in 12 games. Big, powerful, and fast, this youngster is a fine all-around player, has outstanding ability on both backboards. Passing, floorwork, and shooting are all good. Very consistent on defense.
WARMERDAM MAY COME AFTER ALL
Odds and ends: From reliable sources it is learned that Cornelius Warmerdam, the pole vaulter deluxe, may show his wares in this territory before long. . . . He has been invited to come to Kansas City to participate in the Missouri Valley A.A.U. indoor track meet. . . . This event was originally postponed but if Warmerdam will come the meet WILL BE SCHEDULED. . . Other stars who will be in attendance IF Warmerdam comes are Gil Dodds, one sensation divinity student-miler formerly from Nebraska, and Greg Rice, the great distance runner from Notre Dame . . . Warmerdam is also being invited to K.U. Relays. . . . All that remains now is for an affirmative tinkle to come trickling over the wires from San Francisco and this neck of the woods will be singing "Happy Days."
Word from Missouri indicates that the Tigers are shooting for that No. 1 spot in football next fall. . . . Over two full teams of lettermen are out for spring practice and they fully expect to have Red Wade and Bob Steuber back. . . . It sounds bad for Big Six foes. . . . What a football team Great Lakes expects to have next fall! . . . Already they have booked games with Minnesota, Missouri, Notre Dame, Purdue, Marquette, Iowa, and Northwestern and have negotiations under way, 'tis said, with Wisconsin, Pittsburgh, Creighton, Michigan, Nebraska, AND KANSAS. . . . Gwin Henry has received no word from them but he has accepted an offer by Bernie Bierman of the Iowa Naval Cadet station at Iowa City for a game with his team. . . . Henry sent back a tentative date of Sept. 19 with the game to be played at night in Kansas City but has received no reply as yet. . . . Paul Christman, former all-Big Six star from Missouri, will be a member of the Great Lakes team. . . . Another former Tiger, Bob Waldorf, has been appointed line coach under Tom-Tom Stidham at Marquee University.
Shooting Star for Aggies
One of the best prospects in the Missouri Valley area to gain All-American mention is this scintillating senior forward from Walters, Okla., "Lonnie" Eggleston. Hailed as the greatest high school player developed in Oklahoma four seasons ago, the six foot one inch Cowboy has averaged 10.8 points a game in 24 contests for the Aggies this year. His offensive strength is not his only forte, however, as other leading scorers who have faced him will testify. Very often, Iba will place Eggleston to guard the opponents nighest scoring individual and invariably Lonnie will come through with a bang-up job.
Intramural Managers Add Three Members
Three new intramural managers have been added to the Board of Intramural Managers, Maurice Barringer, senior manager, announced today.
The new men are W. C. Hartley, sophomore, who replaced Tom Schwinn who is awaiting his draft call; and Bob Frizzell and John Pfouts, freshmen, who are filling scholastic vacancies. These three members were chosen from the applications which were made last fall.

Write for chart picturing 18 beautiful styles. It describes advantages of MARVELOUS PATENTED FILTER Wm. Dumuth & Co., Inc., N.Y.C.
Track Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss announced plans this morning for two intra-school track mechs which he hopes will uncover talent for a Jayhawk track team that has been riddled by the draft and enlistments.
