Hargiss Loses 7 Lettermen to War
With the Jayhawks first track meet a week away, Coach H. W. "Bill" Hargiss finds himself without the services of seven lettermen who would have returned had it not been for the war.
These seven have either enlisted or been drafted into the country's armed services. J. R. Jones, Big Six broadjump champion, and Orlando Epp, one of the conference's best
quarter inners, were ta
the draft last semester.
Fherhardt May Leave Soon
Eberhardt May Leave Soon
Bill Reid, quarter miler, is now enlisted in the air corps. Jack Michener, who Hargiss terms the second best pole vaunter in the Big Six this year, has enlisted in the army air corps and will soon report for cadet training.
Ted Scott, dash man, has been drafted and undergone a shoulder operation which will make him eligible for an officer's commission. Oliver Hess, who ran on the University two mile team this fall has joined the marines. Fred Eberhardt is still training for track but as a reserve officer in the marines expects to be called soon.
Gaylord Conzelman, promising sophomore in the distance runs, has enlisted in the air corps. Another sophomore who Hargiss was counting on in the dashes, Joe Thomas, is now in the army.
Scholastic Troubles For Two
Grades tripped two sophomores who were expected to make the varsity this year. Clifford Foos, hurdler and high jumper, and Harold Wright, a broad jumper who Hargiss had hoped to develop into the best in the conference, both failed in scholastic requirements.
Five lettermen will wear the Jayawk colors against Kansas State a week from tomorrow in an indoor meet to be held here. They are Dick Edwards, distances; Don Pollom, hurdles and dishes; Jim Cordell, pole vault; Ralph Schaake, weights; and Clarence Miller, distances.
Coach Hargiss stated that many of his track men had consulted him as to the advisability of joining the armed forces rather than waiting to be drafted. He added, in light of the fact that they would be eligible for better positions by enlisting, he did not advise against it even though it did deprive him of some of his best track candidates.
THE BOX SCORE--throw, Charlie Black fouled Adams and the latter made his try good.

(continued from page one) seven minutes but with 25 seconds gone in the eighth minute Johnny Adams, the Arkansas U. leaping Porker, made a two-handed jump shot that gained the Navy's first lead and from then on out it was purely a matter of how often the Sailors would score or how long it would be before the Jayhawks tallied.
UNLOAD NAVAL---throw, Charlie Black fouled Adams and the latter made his try good.
At the start of the second half, with the score 28 to 15 in favor of Great Lakes, the Kansans spurted and showed flashes of real fight and ability. In three minutes time the Red and Blue cagers had taken six shots and the last three were successful to bring the count up to 21 to 27, Andres having dropped in a free throw for the Navy.
For the next seven minutes it proved to be a real battle as the teams raced up and down the floor in an even struggle. Whenever the Sailors got worried they would go to 'swinging' with the ball. While in this "swing" they exhibited some of the classiest ball handling and dribbling ever seen in this section. It is to the credit of the Jayhawkers, however, that this rolling type of offense was not able to penetrate the Kansas defense and most of the Great Lakes shots resulted from set shots after the "swing" had stopped.
But to get down to the dull chronological facts of the game it should duly be recorded that Kansas started the scoring. John Lobserig, former Missouri flash and Big Six all-conference guard in 1939 and 1940, fouled Johnny Buescher in the second minute and Bisch made the free
Then Black was fouled by Callihan and the conversion of this made it 2 to 1 for Kansas with two minutes played. Black followed with a two-handed rebound shot but Forrest Anderson, Navy forward and former all-Pacific conference player from Stanford, intercepted a pass and drove in for a bucket.
In another minute Anderson was fouled by Marvin Sollenberger and the charity shot was good. Then came Adams jump shot which shoved the Sailors into a never-to-be relinguished lead.
Evans Tallies 7 Points
George Rung took a Navy pass, slipped behind Buescher, and potted another Great Lakes basket just before Hunter scored for Kansas on a left-handed hook shot after a pass from Miller. The clock on the wall showed that 10 minutes had elapsed and the cagers from Great Lakes started to show the crowd how accurate shooting should really be done.
Anderson dribbled through the K.U. defense for a lay-in and Callihan followed with a brilliant lefthanded hook shot out in front of the free-throw lane. Ray Evans then started on a one-man scoring splurge for the Jayhawks and gathered in his seven points in the next nine minutes. Miller made the other Kansas basket of the first half on a drive-in shot.
The Jayhawks came back at the half with fighting determination but it carried them only so far and then their coldness caught up with them and back they were in the same predicament as the first half. Hunter, Black, and Miller were good for baskets while Andres dropped in a free throw to bring the score to 29 to 23, Navy.
The remaining seven buckets for the Sailors were hit by five players, further emphasizing their evenness in playing ability. Andres and Frankie Baumholtz each made two goals and Bill Menke, Lee Huber, and Anderson connected for the other three, making the half-time score 26 to 15 for Navy.
Adams then flipped in an overhead shot and Hunter dropped two free throws. Dick Klein gave Kansas one point by fouling Black but the former gained it back with a push shot. Andres rang the bell on a set shot but Miller equaled the two points on Rung's foul while "Cappy" was shooting.
Anderson repeated his drive-in shot down the center and then three one-handers followed in quick succession. Vance Hall picked one out of the basket on a shot while going away from the hoop and Rung and Hunter followed.
The last 10 minutes was a two-to-one affair for the Navy. Hunter and Black hooked baskets while Bob Johnson, Miller, and Black plunked in free throws to complete the Jayhawk scoring.

Messner Becomes Regular In Place of Mendenhall
DRAKE'S BAKERY
Kansas State's basketball machine, which clicked to down Nebraska after dropping "heart-breakers" to the league leaders, will be without its defensive ace, George Mendenhall, but nevertheless is planning a hot reception for Iowa State's Cyclones.
907 Mass.
A handsome, six-foot-two junior, Mendenhall has earned the reputation as one of the toughest defensive men in the Big Six conference. Repeatedly, he has shut the door in the faces of scoring leaders, and he was to guard Al Budolfson, Big Six scoring leader, when the Cyclones $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
invade Nichols gymnasium at Manhattan Monday night.
But influenza has kept Mendenhall in the hospital for a week, forcing Coach Jack Gardner to work overtime on new plans for haltering Iowa State's highly geared club paced by Budolfson and Robert Harris, two of the fastest forwards in the loop.
Messner Starts At Guard
The loss of their regular guard is a big blow, but it does not discourage the Wildcats. Mendenhall also was missing when Nebraska fell, 38 to 35, here last Monday. In that game, Gardner assigned the difficult task of guarding Sidney Held, Husker scoring leader, to Bruce Holman and John Bortka, a couple of sophomores who alternated at forward. And they limited Held to six points. Keneth Messner another sophomore at Kansas State but who played two years on the Jayhawk varsity, took over Mendenhall's position and his ball handling was a highlight of the game.
Beaumont Begins to Hit
The victory over Nebraska was K-State's first in five conference starts. But the Wildcats had lost
thrillers in their two previous league contests. Oklahoma rallied in the closing minute to win at Manhattan, 26 to 25, and Kansas university squeezed through with a 46 to 44 overtime decision at Lawrence.
Chemistry Club Sees Movies
Kansas State's shooting, poor earlier in the season, has shown marked improvement. Larry Beaumont, big guard, dropped in six field goals for 12 points against Nebraska while Danny Howe, center, contributed 11 points. The Wildcats, however, have no standout scorer. They have depended upon excellence in teamwork with each player getting his share of points. Jack Horacek, senior forward, leads the team hit parade with an average of 7.2 points in five conference contests. Close behind, Beaumont has averaged 6.8 points, Howe 6.6, and Holman 5.4.
The Chemistry club met at 4:30 yesterday. Moving pictures on "Chemistry of Photography" and "Manufacture of Neoprene" were shown.
