Sooners Name Eason and Whited As Game Captains
Oklahoma's Sooners completed preparations for Marquette yesterday with an offensive drill which included running plays and passing practice. The Sooners worked especially hard on passes with the hope that they will match the aerial attack of Marquette. Marvin Whited, back, and Roger Eason, lineman, were elected co-captains for tomorrow's game.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers also drilled on passes in their case it was pass defense against a possible Iowa aerial assault. Taking note of the trouble the Hawkeyes gave Minnesota and Michigan, the Huskers buckled down to serious drill on defense.
Iowa State's hopes for a victory over the Kansas State Wildcats took a turn upward yesterday when it was announced that Bob Lechtenberg, blocking back, would be able to play. Lechtenberg has been out of play with injuries since the start of the season. The Cyclones spent most of the day drilling on new plays and formations.
Kansas State will face the Cyclones without the services of Dick Peters, tackle, who remained in Manhattan for treatment of a knee injury.
"Phog" Remembers Close Ones Last Fail 38-37, 33-31

The freshmen have never yet beaten the varsity in one of these contests, but the games have usually been close enough to make it impossible to determine the outcome until the final gun. Last season, the varsity won the first game 33-31. In a second battle, the varsity again won 38-37 in an overtime period.
No Team Drill for Varsity
"We haven't had much team practice as yet," explained Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, speaking for the varsity squad, "because we are holding that until some of the boys now out for football can report for basketball. Most of our time so far has been occupied by individual fundamentals."
Dr. Allen stated that the freshmen would probably offer "quite a battle," and would be "plenty tough."
"They have been pointing for this contest," he added, "because it is their big game of the year. This game promises to be a beauty." Dr. Allen is not going to release the starting line-up until this evening. Frost Hold Secret Practice
Milton "Mit" Allen, Dr. Allen's son, and freshman coach, has been drilling the freshmen overtime in secret practices in hopes of surprising the varsity and turning in a victory. "Mit," like all who are experts in the cage sport, has a few

"We are going to use a straight zone defense," he indicated this morning. "The varsity will use its stratified transitional man-for-man defenses employing the zone principle."
Varsity lettermen who will see action tonight are Vance Hall, T. P. Hunter, Bob Johnson, Marvin Sollenberger, and Charlie Walker. John Buescher will not be able to compete because his grades fell short of the required "C" average.

Men who played on the freshman team last year and have reported for practice this fall are Paul Turner, center; Jack Ballard, Bob Fitzpatrick, Warren Israel, and Max Kissel, forwards; and Don "Red" Ettinger, guard.
