Drake Is 'Tuckerless' For Three More Games
Coach Bruce Drake is pointing his Oklahma basketball drills for the three games his youthful Sooner club still must play without Gerald Tucker, competent sophomore center.
After absorbing a 22-point licking by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers at Lawrence Jan. 6, Oklahoma rebounded against Kansas State at Norman Saturday night, triumphing 47-40 and will undertake a two-game road trip this weekend, clashing with Kan- $ ^{ \circled{ }}$
weekend, coming with Tennessee State at Manhattan Saturday and with Missouri at Columbia Monday.
The final game Tucker must miss is the Iowa State clash at Norman January 26.
Drake liked several things about his crippled squad's surprise defeat of Kansas State. He praised the Oklahoma squad's team play. The Sooners held to their set plays and were feeding each other well.
Paul Heap, 6-foot 4-inch junior center who has always been too modest to shoot as often as he should, did a great job on the pivot post in Tucker's absence, cleverly handling the difficult post passing in thick traffic and forking in six field goals with his rebounding and spin shooting. Heap also dogged the ball well off the Kansas State backboard.
Bob McCurdy, Purcell sophomore, stopped Jack Horacek, Kansas State's senior marksman, with one field goal, permitting Horacek, the Wildcats' high scorer the past two seasons, only three shots from the field. If McCurdy can continue such corking coverage he may make the Sooners another Marvin Snodgrass.
However the coming road trek
will find Drake's club playing on foreign floors. Short of good reserves and still maneuvering without Tucker, it is believed Oklahoma will find it doubly difficult to defeat either Kansas State or Missouri on their home courts.
The inter - fraternity bowling league enters the second round of competition tonight at the Lawrence recreation parlor with eight Greek-letter teams entered.

So far, Oklahoma has been a poor road club, defeating George Washington, but losing to St. Johns, DePaul, Bradley Tech and Kansas, all formidable clubs.
Jack Nash, sophomore forward and Dean Lill, junior letterman, also worked out with the squad yesterday, strengthening Gardner's hopes for a more potent attack against the Sooners.
Darren Schneider, 6-foot 7-inch sophomore center, joined the Wildcats yesterday working out at the pivot post. Schneider, who played end on the Kansas State football team, was a scoring ace at St. Francis, Kans., High School.
Faulty shooting was costly to the Wildcats in both conference tilts with Nebraska and Oklahoma. In the first half of the Nebraska game Kansas State hit but three out of 33 shots and dropped the conference opener 44-to-38. Against the Sooners the Aggies made an average of 25 per cent on scoring while Oklahoma hit 47 per cent of their attempts.
Danny Howe, senior center, will divide time at the center post with Schneider. Howe led the Wildcat scoring in the Oklahoma game with 12 points and was also standout defensively.
Three Additions Made By Gardner To K-State Team
Kansas State hopes for a victory over Oklahoma Saturday were given an appreciable boost yesterday when Coach Jack Gardner announced the addition of three players to the basketball squad.
Women's Intramurals By Nancy Prather
---
Both games in women's basketball were extremely one sided last night. The Kappa's defeated the Gamma Phi's 31-9. Margaret Butler and Lo Smith made most of the points for the Kappa's. At the half the Kappa's led 15-0 but at the beginning of the third quarter Marynell Dyatt connected with the basket several times to bring up the Gamma Phi score. Shirley Irwin was the outstanding guard for the Kappa's and Mary B. Took played well at guard position for the Gamma Phi's.
Corbin Hall won over the Alpha Delta Pi's 37-11. The scoring for Corbin was divided evenly between Margaret Wells and Margurette Demint. Alta Bingham and Margaret Struble were the cuts and guards. The A.D. Pi's scored three points during the first half and eight more in the second half but the powerful Corbin team was too much for them.
Nesmith's Brother Killed at Corregidor
Clair Nesmith, 33, brother of Dean Nesmith, Kansas athletic trainer, was killed January 6 while helping defend Corregidor Island from the Japanese, the war department has announced.
Nesmith was a private in the coast artillery and had been stationed in the Philippine Islands since last April. He is survived by five brothers and a sister. Three of his brothers—Dean, Ole, and Paul—have played football at Kansas.

(continued from page one) same one which came through in flying style against Oklahoma. Charlie Black, with his 25-point average in Big Six conference, will lead the attack from his modified post position. At the other forward will be Ralph "Cappy" Miller. Miller has not yet shown the form which made him an outstanding star during his sophomore year in college.
A Miller Jinx
Missouri has always proved more or less of a jinx to Miller. In two games in Brewer fieldhouse he has scored only four and six points. His average this season in conference play is 11 points.
At center for the Jayhawks will be one of the smoothe t ball-handler, on the entire squad, John "Thin-Man" Buescher. Bisch scored 10 points against Oklahoma and played a good floor game also.
Ray Evans will make the second sophomore in the starting line-up tonight, playing with Black. Evans has not yet started scoring this year although in high school at Wyan-dotte he was one of the leading scorers on the team.
Marvin Sollenberger, only returning regular from last year's cochampionship crew, will be stationed at the other back line position. Solly has never proved a scoring threat but has been the leading defensive player on the squad. MJV Joe Sorensen
M.U. Uses Sophomores
George Edwards will also use sophomores, two breaking into the starting line-up tonight. Ed Matheyn, former Southwest High School star from Kansas City, Mo., has earned a starting berth, replacing veteran George Constantz.
