SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE Cyclones Should Rate First Division Again Three Senior Lettermen Hold Hopes (This is the first of a series of articles appearing in The University Daily Kansan dealing with Big Six basketball prospects.) "Iowa State will probably be weaker this season in basketball," conceded cage-mentor Louis Menze with the pre-season pessimism common to coaches. Last year Iowa State tied with the University of Kansas for the Big Six title. "Part of our problem lies in the loss of Gordon Nicholas, our rebound man," he added. Nicholas was the leading Cyclone scorer for two straight years, and won all-conference recognition as he finished his playing career last season. Other men from the championship squad no longer available are Dale DeCoster and Fred Gordon, both of whom University fans had an opportunity to see in action last year. Menze considered Gordon the best defensive player in the conference. All-Star Budolfson Back Coach Menze has no reason to shed many tears over his prospects, however, for three senior lettermen will appear in the Cyclone starting lineup this winter. Captain Al Budolfson, All-Big Six selection last season, will hold one forward position, while Bob Harris will fill the other. Harris lettered in basketball at Iowa State his sophomore year, then took a rest as a junior and didn't try out for the team. Although slightly overweight now, he is working off his extra pounds diligently and is showing flashes of the form that made him one of the high scorers in the Big Six when a sophomore. The third returning senior letterman is Carol Schneider, a 6 foot. The third returning senior letterman is Carol Schneider, a 6 foot, 6 inch regular who will be played in guard position. Sophomore at Center Rollin Kuebler, a sophomore, is ahead in the competition for the center post at present, although Henry Vogt, who saw reserve action a year ago, will probably share the position with him.

At the other guard position, one of two juniors, both of whom were squad members last year, will be the likely choice. These are Leon Uknes and Jerome Deneckere, both rangy lads, who keep the Cyclone cage squad after leaving the grid- iron. height average at the 6 foot level. Additional guard prospects are Harle Damon, Kenneth Donnelson, and Tom Devine, all sophomores, along with George Harville who has but recently reported to the AL BUDOLFSON Reserve forward material includes Bob Hayes, a junior; Norman Pederson, a sophomore, and Herman Eppink, a former junior college star. Eppink is another 6 foot, 6 inch man. Open Season With Victory The Cyclones will play a total of ten games on their home court during the season. They will meet, in addition to their Big Six foes, non-conference teams which include Drake University, Grinnell College, and Bradley Polytechnical Institute. In their first game of the season Thursday night, the Cyclones were paced by Budolfson as they easily overpowered Coe College, 46 to 33 at Ames. The all-conference forward of last year started out in the same style by racking up 13 points. A red-hot White team continued their superiority over the Reds as they gave them a thorough shellacking, 39 to 13, in yesterday's practice. After an hour's chalk-talk while Coach "Phog" Allen demonstrated all the plays on the board, the cagers went over to Hoch auditorium for the first time this season. Thirty minutes were spent in running through these plays against dummy opposition. Returning to Robinson gymnasium, "Cappie" Miller and Vance Hall got hot to pour six and five goals through the hoop in 15 minutes. Bob Johnson got four goals for the victors and T. P. Hunter got three. John Buescher played a good floor game at quarter-back and managed to sink one bucket. George Dick paced the Reds with two baskets.
