Allen Announces Tough Basketball Schedule
Along with the publication of the University of Kansas basketball schedule for the season 1941-42 came the announcement from the office of Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen that varsity basketball practice will start next Monday.
Dr. Allen added that only players who have taken their physical examination will be given uniforms.
★★
The loss of three of last year's stars by graduation will probably be felt keenly this season. John Kline, a dependable guard; Howard Engleman, Big Six scoring champ, and Boby Allen, All Big-Six all-star for two years, will be missed.

Cagers Tip Off Monday
Good Soph Prospects
"We have some good sophomore prospects," Dr. Allen said, "but you can't expect to replace three seniors with three sophomores. No matter how good they are, they're still sophomores.
"On the other hand, this is one of the few times that we have had much big basketball material here at the University. Several of the boys

reporting this year are both tall and big. This will eliminate the usual handicap we have due to the fact that our opponents tower above us two or three inches to the man." Rough Schedule
Dr. Allen believes that the schedule is going to be "plenty tough." In addition to the powerful Big Six opponents, games are scheduled with the winner and the runner-up in the
Missouri Valley conference last year, Creighton and Oklahoma A. and M. A game with the University of Iowa at Iowa City is scheduled for January 29, under a two-year contract that calls for a return game at Lawrence next winter.

Lohry-Less Cyclones Face Huskers; Tigers Hit, Too
Iowa State's hopes for a victory over the Cornhuskers Saturday fell back when Royal Lohry, fleet Cyclone quarterback, received a leg injury in the Denver game last Friday night, and will not see action in Iowa State's conference opener.
While the Cyclones ran plays and drilled on defense, the Huskers sharpened up their aerial attack in practice with Dale Bradley, Bob Cooper, Fred Metheny, Howard Debus, and Marvin Athey doing the passing. Coach Lawrence M. Jones announced the first team and probable starters against Iowa State at Ames Saturday: Fred Preston and Bob Ludwick, ends; Vic Schleich and Clarence Herndon, tackles; Herb von Goetz and George Abel, guards; Fred Meier, center; Marvin Athey, quarterback; Dale Bradley, left halfback; Allen Zikmund, right halfback; and Vike Francis, fullback.
Injuries have provided a serious threat to another Big Six team's hopes. Missouri U. was hit hard by injuries suffered in the Ohio State game and Cosch Don Faurot may have to call on new men to fill the shoes of Jefferson Davis, Herold Adams, and Capt. Darold Jenkins.

RULES. ADVICE—
V. W. Kebker, instructor in the School of Business, has an article, "New Kansas Loss Leader Bill," in the current issue of "Progress In Kansas," the official publication of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce.
(continued from page four)
It is urged that every player read over the football rules for the coming season so that there will be as little conflict between players and officials as possible.
The Intramural Office has sent a new type information blank to every organization on the Hill. It is to find out whether or not any teams can play on Monday or Wednesday afternoons or on Saturday mornings. Every manager should see if it is possible for his team to play at any of these times and if so to please notify the Intramural Office.

All games must start at four thirty sharp unless specified by the Intramural Office before hand.
out of the Ohio State game, has improved as has Davis, the only other veteran center on the Missouri squad. Coach Faurot may leave the center assignment to a sophomore, Jack Keith, former Kansas City Wespoff player.
Adams, regular blocking back, was injured high on the chest but is not expected to be out of action long. Bob Steuber, flashy halfback, also received a sprained ankle, but has been able to report for practice.
In practice Coach Faurot has been stressing tackling, blocking, and general fundamentals, and has ordered a hard offense drill against Colorado's running formations.
Kansas State resumed drill yesterday, disappointed and disgusted with their showing in the Hays game. Coach Hobbs Adams asserted that his squad had suffered no casualties and should be at its full strength this weekend against Northwestern.
Kansas State and Northwestern have only met once on the gridiron in 1938, Northwestern winning 21 to 0.
SPORTS SLANTS----
The Tekes are another team with a question mark line and set of classy backs in Dunn, Mitchelson, and Cohlymeyer.

Division II does not loom as tough as Divxision I. Nevertheless, one can never judge from pre-season dope and the 1941 champion will, more than likely, emerge from this division. Top-rated team at present is Beta Theta Pi, despite the loss of Bill Geiger and Bob Stoland. In two freshmen, Bill Mowery and John Short, the Betas have a combination which they believe will match the Hall-Stoland championship duo of 1939. Dean Phillips and Dick Chubb should give Mowery support in the backfield. The line will probably be the best in intramurals. Tom Lillard, an all-star in '40, and big Tom O'Neil will hold down the tackle slots, scrappy Fred Eberhardt and aggressive Spence Burtis will start at guards, and Dick Pierce will be at center. If these linemen live up to past performances, the Betas should really be good.
DIVISION II
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, runnerup in '40, lost two great backs in Kenny Hamilton and Dick Harp. Kenny Winters and Bob Dominick are being groomed to take their places. Dayton Sharp and Bob Quiring at ends, John Gage at tackle, and Beachy Musser, guard, will be Sig Alphas to watch. Delta Chi will depend on Sherman and Lysought. Despite the presence of stellar John Pfitsch, the Pfugerville Pflashes will rate as a 'dark horse.'
Theta Tau will rely on tackle Ralph Carpenter and back Francis Domingo. Carruth Hall has three bright lights, Bob Corder at halfback, Jack Doores at end, and Dale Ewing at center. Rudy Saveley and Knute Kresie will pace the Sig Ep attack while nothing definite is known about the Delta Upsilon squad.
The loss of two all-stars, George Cheatham and Chuck McGee, along with four more regulars will be too much for the Phi Delts. In Warren Newcomer, all-star holdover, and John Wells, the Phi Delts will have two experienced backs. Bob Patterson is a frost passer of note. The line will be comparatively uncertain with Byron Kern, "Ribbie" Woodbury, Jimfl Waugh, and Dave Prager labeled as certain starters.
Here's this column's pre-season outcome prediction. The Kappa Sigs, Betas, Sigma Chis, and Phi Gams will make the playoff semi-finals, with Beta Theta Pi finishing on top as the 1941 champion.
