sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
By H. M. MASON Guest Conductor
Picking up the trails of some former Kansas high school basketball stars. . . . Four of them are regulars on the University of Colorado quintet this year. . . Reading from left to right, they are Leason McCloud, Newton; George Hamburg, Beloit; big Bob Kirchner, Topeka; and little Barney Oldham, Hays. . . . Over at Fort Collins we find Maurice Parker, former Wyandotte ace, a standout on the Colorado State team.
Oklahoma A. & M.'s first five includes two natives of the Sunflower state, Vern Schwertfeger and Leroy Floyd. . . Schwertfeger, 6 foot 5 inch center, hails from Satanta, while Floyd is from Argonia. . . . Floyd seems to like the climate in the Sooner state, having played a year at Oklahoma City University before going to A. & M. . . . One of the nation's top teams this season, Creighton, is another school to get help from Kansas. . . . In Creighton's starting lineup are Dick Nolan, one of the greatest basketball players ever developed at Ward high school in Kansas City, Kan., and Ed Beisser, 6 foot 5 inch center from Kingman.
T. P. Hunter, tall, good natured Jayhawk, is looking forward to the Oklahoma game with a good deal of impatience . . . Now that he has broken into the starting lineup, T. P., a native Oklahoma man aims to show the Sooners a thing or two. . . He played his high school ball at Central high in Oklahoma City, along with Allie Paine and "Ug" Roberts, O.U. first stringers.
Leading scorer among cagers at large schools is George Glammack,
giant North Carolina center. . . Because of faulty vision Glammack does not look at the basket when he shoots. . . Instead, he spends 20 minutes before each game whirling off the post and shooting his pivot shot until he gets the range of the basket. . . The result—an average of 21.2 points a game.
Freshman Bob Abrams, who doubles as varsity ball boy, is regarded as the most promising cager to come to K.U. from St. Louis since Fred Pralle. . . As a matter of fact, he is the only one. . . Firing away at the baskets in Robinson Gymnasium along with varsity cagers the last several afternoons has been Stan Stauffer, Kansan managing editor. . . Stan played basketball at Shattuck Military Academy, where one of his teammates was "Treetop" Sharpe, now an end on the Oklahoma football team.
From 15 to 3 is the sad story of Guy Mitchell, brilliant Hutchinson high school center . . . Going into last Friday's game with Newton, Mitchell had an average of 15.5 points a contest. Figuring that if they could stop Mitchell they could take Hutch, Newton put Jimmie

Ed Hall Joins Varsity
Grid Fullback Should Aid K.U.Cage Club
Jayhawk fullback Ed Hall is the latest addition to the K.U. basketball squad. The 190 ponud senior is expected to see action in the game with Wichita University there Monday.
A member of the same freshman basketball team as Howard Engleman, Bob Allen and John Kline, Hall has not been out for varsity basketball previously.
As a sophomore Ed broke his ankle in football and was unable to report for cage practice. The ankle still bothered him enough last year as a junior to keep him away from the court again. At present Hall is rated as one of the outstanding men in intramural basketball, being an accurate shot and a fine rebound man.
"B" Team Game at Wichita
"B" Team Game at Wichita A "B" team game will be played at Wichita, along with the regularly scheduled contest, Dr. F. C. Allen announced today. This will mean that a large squad will be taken to Wichita for the two games.
After a week layoff for final examinations the varsity cagers go back to work today. In an effort to compensate for a mediocre season thus far, Wichita U. can be counted on to shoot the works against the Jayhawks. Consequently, Doctor Allen is getting his team ready for a tough game.
The game will take three of the Jayhawk regulars back to their old stamping grounds, the Ark Valley. Howard Engleman's high school efforts were for Arkansas City, while John Kline and Marvin Sollenberger toiled for Hutchinson high.
Eyes on Hunter
One of the chief hopes of the Jay-hawks for the second semester is that T. P. Hunter's scoring proclivities will burst into full bloom. The lanky forward scores well in practile and should do as well in games, when he gets a little more confidence.
Main reason Hunter is not scoring more at present is that he is shooting very little. The junior forward's rise to prominence began in practice one day when he fired in eight field goals. Since then his climb has been steady.
Ames, Ia., Jan. 29—(UP)—Kansas State, defending Big Six wrestling champion, lost a 24 to 6 dual match o Iowa State last night.

AFTER QUIZZES AND VACATION ONE'S THOUGHTS WILL TURN TO---- NEW SPRING CLOTHES
1941 "All New"
Kansas Track Stock Is Up; Stoland Back
Indoor track prospects are looking up at the University of Kansas. Coach "Bill" Hargiss does not see his team as a contender for the Big Six championship, but expects it to make a considerably better showing than last year.
Co-captains of the 1941 Kansas track team are Darrell Mathes of Leoti, dash man, and Bill Beven of Muscotah, pole vaulter. Both are seniors. In addition to them, Coach Hargiss has eight other lettermen on hand.
We will be ready for you wtih Varsity Town Suits New stylings, new colors, new models
These include Ted Scott of Topeka, 60 yard dash; Kenny Hamilton of Kansas City, Mo., 440 yard dash; Bill Reed of Salina, 440 yard dash; Don Thompson of Lawrence, 880 yard run; Fred Eberhardt of Salina, 880 yard run; Dick Edwards of Jewell, mile run; J. R. Jones of Kansas City, Mo., broad jump; and Bob Stolland of Lawrence, high jump and broad jump.
Stoland A Champ
Best of the sophomore crop is Don Pollom, football and track star. Pollom holds the national high school record in the 200 yard low hurdles. During the indoor season, Don will compete in the 60 yard low hurdles and the 60 yard dash.
Stoland's return to action is the main bright spot in the Jayhawk track picture. The former Lawrence high school ace lacked one hour of having enough credits to be eligible for competition last year.
In 1939 Bob had set a new conference record in the high jump at the indoor meet and won both the high jump and broad jump at the Big Six outdoor meet. Stoland has leaped 6 feet 5 in the high jump.
Other new men on the squad include Orlando Epp of Hillsboro, 440 yard dash man who is a transfer from Bethel College; Clarence Miller of Bonner Springs, two mile run; Jack Michener of Norton, pole vault; Alan Houghton of Bloeit, pole vault; Harold Wright of Dwight, broad jump; and Ralph Schaake of Leavenworth, shot put.
