A LOOK AHEAD AT K.U. BASKETBALL
"You can't lose three great 3-year players like Howard Engelman, Bob Allen, and John Kline, and not lose the heart of your championship combinations," commented Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen in his office today. "Phog" went on to say, "I'm delighted with the big, aggressive sophomores I will have this year. However, sophomores will be sophomores when it comes to varsity competition and it will take a year or so for them to round into great performers. I'm happy, as we have plenty of big boys for once, who won't be jostled easily."
A GLANCE AT THE RETURNING STARS
From the 'miracle' team of 1939-'40 are two lettermen who didn't compete last winter. They are Ralph Miller, all-Big Six forward in 40, and Bob Johnson, the eighth man on that superb squad. Out of last season's traveling first ten are seniors T. P. Hunter, Charles Walker, and juniors Vance Hall, John Buescher, Marvin Solenberger.
Up from the frosh team which nearly pinned the varsity's ears back before Christmas a year ago, are Ray Evans, Jack Ballard, Paul Turner, Charles Black and Don Ettinger. Ettinger and Evans, along with Miller, will get off to a slow start due to the fact they are all starting backs on Gwinny Henry's football eleven.
Toss in Max Kissell, Bob Fitzpatrick, Warren Isreal, Don Blair, Dick Milier, Browder Richmond, Bill Mathews, and "Phog" should have a pretty fair ball club.
24 CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 31 YEARS
The student body is well justified in feeling, that in Dr. Allen, we have the best basketball coach in the United States. "Phog" has not only coached
ranger than any other cage mentor in America but he has turned out more championship teams than anyone else.
In twenty-four years of Missouri Valley and Big Six conference races, Allen coached Kansas teams have won or shared 17 titles. Before coming to Mt. Oread, "Phog" tutored Warrensburg Teachers college to seven straight first places. Since the Big Six was formed in 1928, Dr. Allen has grabbed off 9 out of 13 league races. The secret of "Phog's" success lies in three words—condition, fundamentals, and Allen inspiration.
AN ADDED THRILL FOR "PHOG"
In addition to turning out such immortals as Ray Ebling, Fred Pralle, Bill Johnson, Paul Endecott, 'Dutch' Lonborg, and 'Frosty' Cox, it must be a great feeling of satisfaction to "Phog" to know that two of the best players who ever wore the crimson-blue uniforms. answer to the name

of Allen. Offsprings "Mit" and Bob were just about the fanciest ball-handlers that K.U. ever boasted.
"Mit" was the quarterback and spark-plug of the all-victorious team of 1936, and as aggressively good as any man in Big Six history. Bob, called "Junior" by rival fans, knew exactly what poppa wanted him to do. In
addition to quarterbacking two Big Six champion quintets, Bob was rated all-Big Six for two years, and N.C.A. A. All-American his junior year.
Bob Allen
Incidentally last week, Bob was elected president of the freshman medical class at the University of Pennsylvania which was quite an honor inasmuch as Bob didn't spend his undergraduate days in Philadelphia.
Jealous coaches and writers holer about Allen's luck. "Phog" has plenty of luck, but so have all the famous figures of sports history, such as Babe Ruth, Tom Harmon, Bobby Jones, and Knute Rockne. Most of the luck a great sports figure gets is luck that he anticipated and prepared for, like "Phog's" unlearning high school stars all the bad basketball they picked up in their early years.
A TYPICAL ALLEN TEAM
len, Don Ebling, Ralph Miller, Howard Engelman, and company blazed a fiery trail to the finals of the National collegiate championships. Everyone wanted to give the Jayhawks horseshoes when they nosed out Missouri 42-40 to tie the Tigers and Oklahoma for the title. The 'experts' figured Doc Allen hadn't ever seen a black cat when his boys went on to whip Oklahoma 45-39 in the Big Six playoffs at Wichita. Later one writer intimated

M.U. Intends To Surprise With Passes
All eyes of the Big Six will be focused on Columbia, Mo., Saturday where Missouri and Nebraska tangle in a game which may be the deciding contest of the Big Six football season.
Major Biff Jones of the Huskers has set about to revamp his line for the Missouri fray; two of his first string linemen were injured in last
FRED MEIER HERBERT von GOETZ
Saturday's game against Indiana. Clarence Herndon, tackle, suffered knee and shoulder bruises against the Hoosiers and has been replaced by Howard Martig. Sophomore Herb Von Goetz is in the hospital with a collapsed lung. Fred Meier has been moved from the pivot post to fill Von Goetz' right guard position. Howard Kelly will assume center duties.
Passing offense is being stressed by Coach Don Faurot of Missouri in preparation for the Huskers. Joe Flavin, sophomore, who is expected to fill Paul Christman's shoes with his passing ability, has recovered from injuries. The air-minded Tigers spent yesterday's drill polishing pass plays with Harry Ice and Flavin doing the tossing.
Iowa State, who meets the Jayhawkers here Saturday, is searching for a winning combination to throw against Kansas. Coach Ray Donels sent his Cyclones through a long scrimmage session as he juggled the
Pharmacy Students Set Up Window Display
Have you seen the window display at the Round Corner drug store, 801 Massachusetts? It is the result of careful planning on the part of the senior students in the School of Pharmacy. This display was set up Saturday by three senior students; Lloyd Roser, A. B. Gansz, and John Reynolds, all from Leavenworth, and will remain there until next Saturday in keeping with the national observance of Phar-
national observance of Pharmacy week.
The center of attention in this window display is a large drug map of the world. On an elevated platform in front of the map are many small samples of crude drugs. Ribbons extend from these petra dishes to the map, thus showing in what part of the world each drug is found. In the immediate foreground is a balance.
On each side of the map is a display of Chinese drugs from the collection belonging to the School of Pharmacy. These drugs are labeled in the Chinese language and are accompanied by Chinese utensils. In

line-up, using reserves freely in an attempt to strengthen the team.
Last year Santa Clara's powerful reserves spelled defeat to the tune of 33-13 for the Sooners. In light of this record, Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster sent his sophomore - spanned first and second teams through their "A" formation which worked successfully against Kansas State. With the improvement of sophomore tackle Plato Andros, Coach Luster finds his Sooners powerful in reserves and ready for the West Coast eleven Saturday.
MILLER VS. LOHRY---
(continued from page four) State's short punt formation, which has been streamlined this season by Ray Donels, the Cyclones' new coach. Against Nebraska, Lohry and Tippee completed 16 passes, while the Missouri game saw them connecting on 11 heaves. Total yardage by passes in the two games came to 238 yards.
that Lady Luck must walk arm in arm with "Phog" when Kansas nosed out. Henry Iba's finest Oklahoma A. & M. outfit 45-43.
In the N.C.A.A. semi-finals at Kansas City, Kansas trimmed Rice Institute 50-44 in the first round but gained no credit as Rice was seeded fourth in the drawings. However, when the Jayhawkers edged out Southern California, rated the country's No. 1 team, 43-42, the sporting public finally gave credit where credit was due.
You don't defeat the champions of the Big Six, Missouri Valley, Southwest, and Pacific Coast conferences consecutively on luck. Concerning his 1939-40 outfit, Allen was quoted as follows, "it was the fightingest, scrapiest team I have ever coached." That statement is typical of Dr. Allen's own colorful personality and his great basketball teams.
