SOLLENBERGER HURT AGAIN
Varsity practice: Ray Evans, sophomore quarterback-guard, was hitting his shots in practice last night for the first time this year. His passing continued to be as sensational as ever. . . . . Johnny Buescher was in high spirits when he came to practice. He had just found out that he was eligible to play. His shooting gave evidence of this for he was sinking baskets from all angles. . . . . "Hutch" Walker displayed the best guarding form as he blocked shot after shot. . . . "Solly" Sollenberger received a charley-horse during practice when Ballard playfully knee him in the leg. He left practice and may not see too much action tomorrow night. . . .
Bob Johnson, senior guard who sprained his ankle last week, was on the sidelines with his ankle tightly taped. He will suit up for the Denver game but probably will do no more than warm-up. Johnson has been drafted but received a deferment until Feb. 16. . . . . . "Phog" is still undecided as to his starting line-ups for the coming two games. He has several possibilities—an all-letterman five, a "Packing-house crew" of ex-footballers, or even attempting to select his five best men. . . . . Plans are in progress to get the Great Lakes Naval Training station quintet to come to Lawrence for a game against the varsity Feb. 5. The Great Lakes team plays Creighton in Omaha Feb. 4. Two of the Navy's conquered foes are Indiana and Notre Dame.
Aside to Dan Partner (K.C. Star): John Lobsiger, former Missouri captain and all-Big Six guard, is a regular starter on the Great Lakes team. Against Indiana Friday night he started at center and scored seven points. He didn't play against Ohio State when they lost 38 to 32. . . . 19 players were out for practice last night and all will go to Newton Thursday night when both a "B" and an "A" game will be played against Bethel College to dedicate their new auditorium. A K.U. alum, "Ots" Unruh, is Bethel's coach.
BEAUMONT AND HOLMAN LEAD AGGIES
Notes from K-State (48)—Washburn (20) game: Jack Gardner has a great idea in broadcasting all of K-State's home games and many of their out-of-town clashes. ... To those of you who missed the broadcast last night remember to tune in on your radio to WIBW of Topeka at 10:15 on Jan. 6. We play Oklahoma that night here and Nebraska invades Manhattan. The games are transcribed, enabling you to see the home game and then listen to the Aggie game later. . . . . Washburn jumped into an early 5 to 0 lead but the Wildcats soon overtook that margin and led at the half, 20 to 12. . . Both teams played slow, conservative ball with very few fast breaks.
Larry Beaumont, who sprained a leg about a week ago, played only a few minutes the first half but made three baskets out of four shots. He also made his first shot of the second half. . . . Gardner wasn't satisfied with the showing of the team, Owen "Chili" Cochrane, freshman basketball coach, said. He called it "early seasonitis." . . . Bruce Holman is only a five foot eleven inch, 150-pound sophomore forward but he made several tip-ins and was dogging the ball constantly. He was high scorer with 15 points. . . .
Jayhawkers Will Play Road-Weary Denver Five Cagers Open Season Tomorrow Night
Senior-letterman Dick Barger remained as his forward spot and once again led the scoring for the Pioneers. After scoring six points against Creighton he made nine tallies in the Loyola game. He uses his six feet four inches to the best advantage in gaining rebounds.
Three games played and three games lost is the record Denver University will carry into the game tonight at Peoria, Ill., against Bradley Tech. as its last game before it opens the Jayhawkers' season in Hoch auditorium at 7:30 tomorrow night.
Earl Campbell, six foot three inch sophomore, started at center against Creighton but was moved to forward against Loyola and scored three baskets. Campbell never lettered in high school but developed into one of the outstanding prospects on last year's freshman squad.
The new center against Loyola was Dick Murray, six foot three and one-half inch junior. Murray, who also played center on the school's football team, scored three points the first game and six points at Loyola.
Saturday night the Pioneers reached Huntington, W. Va., and put up their best battle of the trip before losing 47 to 45 to Marshall College.
Denver opened her season by starting on a five-game road trip. After losing the opener to Creighton by a lop-sided score, the Pioneers altered their line-up and made an improved showing against Loyola, although losing 37 to 26.
Murrav's New Center
The guards remained the same for both games with Bobby Wilson and Len "Chink" Alterman holding forth. Wilson is one of the smallest men on the squad at five feet ten inches and is the smallest in the opening line-up. A Denver High Product
Harold Balzer of Lehigh and Irvin Schroeder of Buhler are the two freshmen and both are forwards. Junior center Melbourne Stucky of Moundridge is the tallest man on the squad, being six feet four inches.
Jayhawks Play Bethel Thursday
At guards are Roy Bartel, six foot (continued to page five)
The Gray Maroon basketball squad this year is a young, inexperienced outfit with a world of speed and drive. On the first team are two freshmen, and one sophomore, junior, and senior.
The first out-of-town game for the Jayhawkers this year comes Thursday night when the Kansans oppose Bethel College at Newton in a game which will dedicate the new Memorial Hall on the Bethel campus.
The coach of the Bethel team is Otto D. Unruh who received his A.B. degree from the University in 1928 and his A.M. in 1940. He played on the Jayhawker basketball team in 1927-28 under Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. Unruh is also coach of Bethel's football team which this season was the best in the history of the school, tying for second place in the Kansas Conference and beating the title-holding Baker University Wildcats.

The other two men who crash this line-up most frequently are sophomore forward Fred Jacobs and junior guard Gregg Browning.
"NEXT TO YOUR NAME HE WILL LOOK FOR OURS"
Jacobs is a six foot, two inch sophomore who started against Creighton. He played nearly half the game at Loyola and made one basket. Browning, a six foot, one inch junior, was considered a regular guard before the season began but was ousted from his position just before the Creighton game.
Coach Ellison Ketchum has four other Pioneers on his traveling squad. They are all sophomores, making a total of seven first-year
men on the 11-man squad. Loren Hays, six foot, two inch guard or forward; Jerry Otto, five foot, eight and one-half inch guard; Bernard Woody, six foot forward-guard; and Frank Moore, six foot guard.
The average height for the Pioneer starting line-up is just a trifle under six feet, two inches. This is the same height that the Jayhawker starting five will average.
The number of sophomores on the team this year was necessitated when three lettermen graduated and three others were forced to leave without completing their courses because of marriage and the draft.
BEWARE OF KANSAS
"Watch out for Kansas!" is the battle cry by George Kirksey, sports writer for the United Press, in the Dec. 30 issue of Look magazine which reached the newstands today.
He ranked Iowa State and Oklahoma next with the latter's success depending upon Gerald Tucker, heralded sophomore.
