Ralph Miller, who was named to the first team at forward, was the most consistent offensive threat during the entire season of any player in the conference. He was held under 10 points in only two games (making eight and nine against Missouri and Iowa State) and finished as the individual scoring leader of the conference with a total of 152 points. In his last five games Miller averaged an even 20 points a game. Not only was he a great scorer but one of the finest floor men in the conference with his brilliant passing and dribbling. For his all-round ability, "Cappy" rates the honor of captain.

With the completion of any seasonal sport, it comes time to make an all-star selection. After watching Kansas play every team in the conference twice except Nebraska, a fairly definite opinion has been formed as to the relative merits of all the players in the 1942 Big Six basketball race.
Kansas and Oklahoma, co-titleholders for the year, dominate the selections on the first and second teams with four and three places respectively. Iowa State, a team of great potentialities but victim of upsets and close decisions, gains two members and Nebraska, the fourth place winner, completes the ranks with one performer.

as he racked up 21 points after being in bed with a severe cold on the day of the game.
The center position will undoubtedly cause the most discussion but the honor goes to Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma. Admitting that he played in only five conference games he nevertheless was unstoppable in his abbreviated appearance. During this semester's play he ranked only slightly under Miller as a scorer with
Sid Held
an average of 19.8 points a game. His rebounding and team leadership were unparalleled in the Big Six.
Ray Evans of Kansas rates the first guard spot. There wasn't a player in the conference who could match his driving spirit or his defensive technique. Being just a sophomore, he started slowly but in his last four games he averaged nearly nine points a game offensively and throughout the season he was always assigned to
played center this year on offense, he shifted to guard on defense which is his natural position. With very little support he led his team to four victories and averaged 10.4 points a game.

At the remaining guard position Sid Held gets the nod. He was the only player that Nebraska had that was Big Six caliber. Although he

Out of the last war came the belief that "three on a match" is sure to mean grief! But you can "blitz" that superstition by making laughter your ammunition!
