Cowboys Down K.U. 30-26
sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
AT LEAST once every basketball season there occurs a night in Big Six play when the fan is greeted by an all-upset program. . Last night was one of those occasions. . No. 1 surprise was the brilliant success of a defensive-minded Oklahoma A. and M. five in holding Kansas' all-American forward Howard Engleman to a total of three points, all free throws, as the Cowboys roped the Jayhawkers in Stillwater, 30-26... The Ags accomplished what every conference team has failed to do so far this year as they limited the Allenmen to a meager effort of 33 shots from the field.
SECOND AMONG reverse cage capers was Missouri's 30-28 conquest of Kansas State for its first conference victory in Columbia. . . Tiger coach George Edwards is minus the services of three veteran regulars who started the season and had dropped six consecutive tilts until sophomore Roy Storm's long one at the gun downed the Wildcats from Manhattan last night.
LAST WAS the terrific betting meted out by Iowa State's Cyclones to Oklahoma's Sooners in Ames. . . Big Gordon Nicholas and Carol Schneider got lose for 12 and 11 points respectively to pace the 44-30 Cyclone win. . . The defeat probably isn't surprising as the score which leads one to believe that the Sooners have been overrated, the Cyclones still not out of the conference flag chase.
ED HALL, fierce running Jayhawker fullback for the past two years, has received feelers from at least three top-notch professional football clubs, including the New York Giants, Chicago Bears, and Pittsburgh Steelers. . . Hall, however, doesn't wish to enter the pro game except at a very attractive price and hopes to land a coaching job when he completes his work at the University next winter. . . Eddie is at present performing utility duty for "Phog" Allen's basketballers and is slated to follow the Doctor on to the baseball diamond when the cage curtain drops down late next month.
K. U.S CUT in their game with Wichita between semesters was $745,08, which makes us believe that the contest should be an annual affair . . . Add this sum to the $2,000 plus the Kansans picked up at the N.C.A.A. meet in Kansas City last March and one can easily see that basketball is doing more than simply paying its expenses here.
IT IS TOO bad Big Six moguls had to schedule the attractive conference indoor track meet for March 1 in Kansas City. . . . March 1 is the only night throughout the Big Six basketball season when each loop

Officials—Parke Carroll, Kansas City; Carl Larson, Bethany.
K.U. Standout--is the type of player who comes through when the pressure is on. He reported for basketball for the first time last season and learned the game quickly enough to win a startig assignment in only a few weeks. A football injury slowed him up the first of the present season, but he's been a tough problem for Kansas State's Big Six conference foes.
Big Johnny Kline, senior Jayhawkner guard, added point-making to his usual fine rebounding game in pacing the Kansas scoring with six points.
JOHN KLINE
Pate Halts Engleman; Kline Stars
So tight was the Aggie defense, that Engleman could find opportunity to attempt just six shots and the entire Kansas team tried only 33 heaves at the goal.
Harvey Pate, the Oklahoma Aggies' senior guard, has accomplished what no Big Six guard has been able to do this season. He stopped Howard Engleman cold as the Cowboys turned back the Jayhawks 30 to 26 in a non-conference battle last night in Stillwater.
Leroy Floyd, senior Cowboy forward, hit seven points which was enough to take top honors in the low scoring contest.
Kline Leads K.U. Scoring
John Kline, big Kansas rebounder, connected with two long shots and two free throws for six points, to lead the Kansas shooters. This was the first time in his collegiate career that Kline led his team in point-making.
During the first half, the Aggies held Kansas to two field goals but the Jayhawkers picked up enough gratis tosses to lead at half time, 14 to 13.
The Aggies applied pressure in the second half and rang up four points before the Jayhawks could get started. The Allemen came back to tie the count at 19-all and forged ahead 20 to 19 on Johnny Buescher's free throw.
But that was the last time the Kansans were in the ball game. Oklahoma slipped nine points through the hoop while holding the Jayhawkers scoreless, and led 28 to 20 with four minutes to play.
Kline, Hall Start Rally
Kline and Ed Hall sparked a typical late-game Kansas rally, 'but their efforts fell short and with the score 30 to 26, the Aggies froze the ball until the end of the game.
Aggies' Langvardt A Great Competitor
Langvardt, a forward in basketball,
Manhattan, Kan., Feb. 18- One of the greatest competitors in Kansas State college athletic history, Chris Langvardt is the same sparkplug on Coach Jack Gardner's basketball team that he was in football last fall.
A three-sport letterman, this good natured lad is one of the few Big Six conference athletes who holds down starting positions on three major sports teams. A halfback on the gridiron, Langvardt won recognition throughout the conference with his all-around play. His teammates elected him honorary captain when the season ended. He will turn to baseball in the spring as a catcher or outfielder.
Tough In Clutch
Gardner considers Langvardt "as good a competitor as I've seen." He stands six-foot-one, weighs 175 pounds.
A Born Competitor
"For his size and experience Langvardt is playing marvelous basketball," Gardner said. "He is a born competitor, a hustler at all times. He is strong defensively and a great retreiver. He is a sparkplug, the type of man who holds a team together."
Alpha Chi Sigma Upsets Alpha's 30-23
By CLINT KANAGA
Springing one of the surprise upsets of the current season, Alpha Chi Sigma emerged victorious over a highly favored Sigma Alpha Epsilon five 30 to 23 in last night's outstanding intramural contest. Lincoln and Bryan led the way in an astonishing first half scoring flurry which found the A.C.S. team in front 23-12.
The Sig Alphs rallied with Sheridan and Biegelmeyers, furnishing the spark. However, Wagner, ace A.C.S. guard, put on the finishing touches and the Alpha's fell by a 7-point margin
op scorers were Sheridan, Sig Alph, and Wagner, A. C. Sigma, with 12 and 10 points respectively.
Phi Gamma Delta tightened its share of the leadership of Division II, winning from Acacia 35 to 21. Standouts for the Fijis were Healy and Hambric, while Bill Kopp starred for the losers. The Phi Gams moved into a 17 to 7 halftime lead and were never pressed during the remainder of the contest.
In retaliation for their recent defeat at the hands of the Phi Delts, the Tau Kappa Epsilon team downed a fighting Alpha Kappa Psi outfit 23 to 17. The Tekes led throughout the contest although Thompson and C. Gibbens gave them some trying moments in the final period. Dunn and Dalrymple turned in outstanding performances for the triumphant Tekes.
With Bill Cunningham swishing in five field goals, Dunakin I won easily from the Ramblers 27 to 12. Lane Davis set the season's high mark for individual scoring in "B" basketball when he gathered 25 points as his team, Pi K. A. "B" whalloped Sigma Phi Epsilon "B" 43 to 14. Olander and Schwinn topped the Beta lineup in scoring as Beta "C" tounched Sigma Chi "C" 36-20. Worley, Sigma Chi, tallied 11 points for the game's high point honors.
