Cowboys Are Dangerous
"The toughest team on the schedule" is the way the Oklahoma A. and M. cage squad can be sized up and this is the opponent the Jayhawkers will face Friday night when Henry Iba brings his band of Cowboys
to Lawrence to play the first of a home-and-home series that will be concluded next Wednesday at Stillwater.
Year in and year out the Aggies are perennial favorites to win the Missouri Valley crown. Since Iba
BUD MILLIKAN, GUARD
One of the finest additions to the Oklahoma Aggie basketball roster in many a year is senior guard Bud Millikan. Millikan was an All-Missouri interscholastic player at guard his last two years at Maryville, Mo. He gained honorable mention in the Missouri Valley last year. He is the third leading scorer on the team this year.
has been at the Stillwater school, the Aggies have won three championships, two co-championships, and second place once in seven years. Comparative Score Favors Aggies
The only year that Iba failed to finish high in the race was his first season at A. and M., 1934-35. For the next five years he was either in the top spot alone or tied with another team. Last year his team finished second to the powerful Creighton Bluejay five.
This year, however, is another matter from last season and Iba is back in his winning ways. Winners in 14 out of 16 games played this season, the Cowboys are leading the Missouri Valley with an undefeated record of six victories. The Aggies play Tulsa tonight in their seventh conference game.
The long basis of comparative scores for this season between the two schools gives Oklahoma A. and M. the edge. The Cowboys triumphed over Creighton, 31 to 22, on the Bluejays home court whereas the Jayhawks were barely able to edge out the Nebraskans, 53-49, at Lawrence.
Leading the cause of the Aggies this season are four senior regulars. Donnie Eggleston and J. T. Newman, forwards, and Jack Taylor and Bud Millikan, guards. The other regular is Lou Steinmeir, sophomore center
Score-Conscious Jayhawker Team Really Hits Hoop
The most devastating scoring attack in Big Six history is bowling over foes of the Kansas Jayhawks as Dr. F. C. Allen's cage team makes an all-out effort to gain another Big Six basketball championship.
An average of 51.1 points a game has been compiled in conference play by the Jayhawks, almost five points ahead of the record average of 46.2 points a game set by Oklahoma in 1939.
Allen's team slipped into high gear against Creighton, scoring 53 points against that crack quintet. Piling up the points even higher, the Jayhawks followed this with smashing victories over Nebraska and Iowa State by scores of 58-30 and 60-44.
Hitting the pace predicted for him ever since his days as a high school sensation, "Rifling Ralph" Miller fired 24 points into the net against Nebraska and 26 in the game with Iowa State.
Those 50 points shot Miller into first place in the battle for individual scoring honors in the Big Six, with an average of 14.6 points a game. In second place is another Kansas ace, Charlie Black, at 13.6.
