Frosh Hopes Sink; Flu Keeps Black Far From Par
Freshman hopes for an upset victory over the Jayhawk varsity quintet Friday night sank in yesterday's practice with the showing of Charlie Black, 6 feet 3 inch forward.
Black, still weakened by a recent attack of the flu, played listlessly and showed little of his former drive. The big boy lost 15 pounds while he was sick. Black is expected to start against
sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
ONLY SIGNIFICANT cage losses suffered by conference clubs at midsemester were center Arch Watson and forward Keith Bangert of Missouri and Oklahoma's Dale Carlisle, also a forward, all of whom landed in the scholastic doghouse. . . The loss of the sixfoot, two-inch Watson can be classed as the most severe blow as he was the Bengal's tallest regular and best bet off the backboards. . . Bangert was a much improved player over last winter and could be tabbed as dangerous at least. . . The already undermanned Tiger will now do well to win a single conference contest.
LOOP OPPONENTS will gain little solace from the Carlisle fadout, however. . . Altho losing to A. and M. last night, the Sooners looked at top form last Monday in defeating a bruising Kansas State club, 48-39 in Norman, which should prove that they won't miss their hustling opponent-baiter too much. . . . The fact of the matter is that sophomore "Ug" Roberts had already forced Carlisle into a bench warming role early in the season.
OKLAHOMA A. & M. basketball fortunes have resembled a teeter-totter since the loss of their ace scorer, Lonnie Eggleston two weeks ago... The cellar-dwelling St. Louis Billikens first knocked The Cowboys out of the Missouri valley league lead then Washington's Bears added insult to injury with another victory a few days later... .Came last night and a big Norman crowd turned out to see their Sooners slaughter the hated Aggies... .The score A. & M. 28. O.U. 19... The Sooners could get but four field goals all evening, three of which came in the last half... Eggleston, who fractured his hand in practice, is slated to see no more service this year.
DONT BE surprised if Gwinn Henry comes up with a modified "T" formation in spring practice. . . For with such backs as Don Pollam, Ray Evens, Ray Niblio, and Ralph Miller available the old master believes the formation might be practicable. . . . Henry used the ancient setup in 1933 when he piloted a supposedly second rate St. Louis

*the varsity, but probably will not play long.
Working in Black's place during most of last night's scrimmage was Tom Harris, rugged forward from Abilene. Harris has shown more improvement during the season than any other man on the freshman squad.
Ballard Is Hot
Other starters on the first five were Paul Turner, forward; Jack Ballard, center; and Ray Evans and George Phillips, guards.
Ballard, the 6 foot 6 inch boy from Kansas City, Mo., was pouring in goals from close around the basket throughout the evening. He should give the shorter varsity men plenty of trouble.
Standout for the freshmen in last night's workout was Paul Turner, former Shawnee Mission ace. The high scoring one hand shot specialist was playing like a whirling dervish. In the previous varsity-freshman game Turner connected for four field goals and a free throw.
Playing his usual brilliant all-around game was Ray Evans, great guard prospect. Although he did not find the range on the basket until late in the workout, Evans was a standout in every other department of play.
Frosh Add Reserve Strength
Greatest improvement in the yearlings since the first varsity-freshman game is the increased reserve strength. When Coach Gordon Gray's crew was nosed out 33-31 in that early game, the freshmen had virtually nothing but a first five. Now they have a capable second quintet backing them up.
Starting against the first team in last night's scrimmage were Max Kissell and Bob Fitzpatrick, forward; Don Ettinger, center; and Dick Keene and Gordon Durna, guards.
Tomorrow night's game will start at 7:30 and will be played in Hoch Auditorium. No admission charge will be made.

Boys Need Gridiron Warfare -- Donels
Ames, Iowa, Feb. 6—Coach Ray Donels didn't play football. Circumstances prevented the new head coach at Iowa State College from competing on the gridiron.
But Coach Donels, who has succeeded Jim Yeager as head of the Cyclone gridiron staff, saw the need for football as a "buileder" game. He decided, for all time, that boys need the things found in combat on the gridiron. He studied football, so that he might teach it to others. $ \textcircled{4} $
"We have so many natural advantages in Iowa," he'll tell you. "We ought to be the healthiest people in the world. Football is a game that brings maximum results in development of stamina and health.
"Boys need football. They must play it hard, and there isn't a chance that they won't benefit from playing."
Built Strength Wrestling
Coach Donels is a native Iowa. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Donells, still live on the farm near Shellsburg where Ray was born. It was in that same community that he first saw the need for building health. As a high school boy, the Iowa State coach was not strong, but he overcame circumstances by action.
He organized an athletic club among the neighbor boys, and built his own strength through competition. Most of the competition was in wrestling, because equipment for that sport was handy. Sawdust padding and a haystack cover made a
wrestling mat, and the boys needed nothing more.
Coach Donels began to study football at Iowa State College, when he entered classes in 1923. His personal athletic program followed the line that he had established, as he continued wrestling for recreation.
A Football Student
Ray began his teaching career in another Iowa community, at Union high school. He continued it at Colo, where for the first time he began to put his gridiron knowledge into use. Returning to Iowa State for his degree, Ray strengthened his football background by acting as student trainer.
So thoroughly did he study football that he was able to turn out two undefeated teams in three seasons as head coach at Ames high school, where he joined the staff after graduation.
Coach Donels was appointed to direct freshman sports at Iowa State College in 1938. Among his duties, he acted as chief scout for the Cy-

Track Opener, Feb.12
With every man but Don Thompson, junior distance man, rounding into condition Coach Bill Hargiss is looking forward to the opening track meet of the indoor season with Kansas State here Wednesday afternoon.
Mathes Is Back
Thompson, in addition to being bothered by a leg injury, had his tonsils removed Tuesday to definitely shelve him for the Aggie meet. Scholastically, every trackster pulled through, thwarting the ineligibility hooodoo that has been hitting Coach Hargiss regularly in the past semesters.
Co-captain Darrell Mathes' return for the spring semester bolstered the sprinting corps. He is working out twice daily in an attempt to reach passable condition for the Aggie meet. Mathes was the ace Jay-

Sophomore Don Pollom and Stoland are rated below Ed Darden and Darold Dodge in the hurdles. However, Pollom may run in his old high school form and spreadeagle the field in the low sticks.
After a week layoff for finals, conditioning drills and time trials have increased. Before finals, Hargiss began the endurance trials in an effort to discover latent talent and place his men in their best events. He has been experimenting with several of his quarter milers, shifting them to the undermanned half mile run.
A Heavy Stoland Score
Kansas is expected to counteract the distance races superiority of K-State with an edge in the high and broad jumps and pole vault.
Bob Stoland is expected to place first or second in both the high and
