These two sophomore huskies, forward Danny Howe and guard Larry Beaumont, will be two of the main cogs in the Aggie machine when it rolls against the invading Jayhawkers tomorrow night in Manhattan.
Howe is a six-foot-one-inch,
one - hundred - ninety pound
Beaumont stands six-feet three
inches and seales one-hundred
eighty pounds.
The two clubs will be battling for the conference lead, both having won two while losing
one. The Wildcats dropped their conference opener to Nebraska, then upset O.U. in an overtime, before revenging themselves against the Huskers last night. K.U. has defeated Iowa State and Missouri, losing to Oklahoma.

Meet Aggies For Big-Six Lead
Slightly Favored Kansans Fxpect Tough Battle
At least a temporary lead in the Big Six basketball race will be the reward for the victor when the Kansas Jayhawkers invade Manhattan to do battle with Jack Gardner's Kansas State Wildcats in Nichols Gymnasium tomorrow night.
Just thirty-three years since Dr. F.C. Allen first sent a University of Kansas basketball team into action against Kansas State, the veteran mentor is grooming his Jayhawks to tangle with the Wildcats once more.
Allen's 1908 K. U. team committed mayhem on the Wildcats, pasting them around the court to the tune of 50-12. The previous year, in the first game played between the two schools, Kansas State had won, 29-25, but things changed in a hurry when Allen took over the coaching reigns at K. U. in 1908.
Flatten Ags Again
The following season, Kansas again took the Wildcats over the jumps, this time by a score of 42-27. Allen then left K. U. to enter medical school and did not return to Lawrence until 1920.
Monday night's game at Manhattan will be the ninety-second renewal of this court rivalry. Kansas has been the winer of 60 of the games in the past and Kansas State has captured 31.
Despite this virtual 2-1 supremacy for Kansas in past games, the Jayhawks never feel easy when going up against the Wildcats. Kansas State invariably gives Kansas a whale of a battle.
Last year, it took a free throw in the last fifteen seconds of play to

If last Thursday's showing against a badly outmanned Missouri club did not serve as a dash of cold water on a blooming Jayhawker disregard for the so-called lower tier of Big Six basketball teams, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Kansans will have learned their lesson after they've collided with Kansas State's Wildcats in Manhattan tomorrow night.
For one can be sure that handsome Jack Gardner's lads would rather jerk a feather from the tail of a proud Jayhawker than to win the conference crow any time.
In the first place the Ags are a victory-starved lot when it comes to winning over the Allemen. Not since the memorable 1937 contest when Ed Klimik's goal in the dying moments gave the Purple Wildcats a 33-32 triumph, have the Manhattanites tasted the wine of victory either at Lawrence or Manhattan. And altho the games of recent years have been consistently close, Aggie players and supporters alike are hysterically anxious to see an end put to the Jayhawker's winning basketball ways.
duddling the mind of the choicest of star sophomores or most experienced of hardened seniors with their Flatbush antics.
Secondly the tilt will be staged in that athletic cracker box called Nichols Gym, which will give the Wildcats a huge advantage. An advantage not only because the State cagers are used to wrenching goals from the frosh in the Y.M.C.A.-like court structure, but also because the Aggie campus can produce one of the most partisan crowds in the Big Six circuit. A' crowd quite adept at be-
And a master psychologist like Jayhawke coach Forrest C. Allen will tell you that a home crowd and a familiar floor are worth points in any basketball team's hopper.
Aside from these two facts, the Aggies have definitely proved that they are a team of threatening if not actually powerful nature. Their last week's overtime upset over Oklahoma dragged the conference spotlight their way and Friday night's 35-32 lacing of a towering Nebraska five landed then squarely on the top ring of the loop standing
with Kansas and the Sooners where real dirty work can commence.
One can be certain that the Ags will have gained enough momentum from these two wins to throw them into super-high, when they face the invading Kansans Monday.
Number one would-be Jayhawk baiter should be speedy, aggressive Jack Horacek, a bucket-conscious forward, who led the Purple scoring last year as a sphomore. Two other forwards, Chris Langvardt and sophomore Larry Beamount, will also bear watching.
Langvardt, who is probably the best all-around athlete in the Big Six, almost defeated the Jayhawkers in Hoch last year
with his firing at long range, yet he is currently playing second fiddle to Beamount.
Another promising sopho., six-foot-three-inch Tom Guy is cavorting at center while still another, George Mendenhall, a six-foot-two-inch guard, has been a consistent starter. Danny Hone is another center of dangerous ability.
Blond Norris Holstrom, a superb competitor, is a fixture at the other sentinel.
