Bengal Cage Prospects Are Black M.U. Invades Tomorrow
By CHUCK ELLIOTT
From champion to cellar in one year with little better hopes seen—that seems to be the prospect of the Missouri Tigers basketball squad as they prepare to open their conference season against Kansas in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night.
Coach George Edwards' wonder team of 1939-40 tied Oklahoma for the title in 1939 and these two came back to tie Kansas for the three-way championship last year. Of those squads all have graduated except Captain Martin Nash and Arch Watson. Gone from last year's top six men are all Big-Six guard, John Lopsiger, Blaine Currence, Clay Cooper, Bill Harvey, and Haskell Tison.
Only Five Lettermen
Only five letterman return from last year and these five constitute the Tigers starting five. This quintet has shown little outstanding ability in chalking up three wins against two losses in their home-state competition. They lost their opening game to Washington University at St. Louis, 35 to 27. Then
came three wins but all by the narrowest of margins. St. Louis University was edged out 34 to 31, Westminster lost by a 41 to 36 count, and retaliation was gained against the Bears of Washington U. by a 35 to 32 score. Their successes ended here when they lost to a fairly weak Springfield Teachers crew, 35 to 32.
Two six-footers will man the guard posts with Captain Nash the outstanding player on the squad. This senior is the only returning regular and rated several all Big-Six second team selections last year. He is the leading scorer on the team but his less than five-point average of last year is none too imposing.
Mills At Other Guard
At the other defensive spot is another 20-year-old, junior Loren Mills. He saw action in every game last year as Nash's understudy but scored only 23 points.
Six-foot two-inch Arch Watson is the other senior and is the tallest man on the starting five. He has lettered twice previously at forward and is the second leading scorer. Two short, junior speedsters hold
Two short, junior speedsters down the forward positions. Herb
Gregg is the midget of the team with
145 pounds, and five feet eight
inches but he makes up with scrap
and hustle his lack of size. His main
forte is a deady left-handed pitch
shot from the free throw line.
Bangert Small Too
The other tiny coaster is five foot eleven inch Keith Bangert. He played in only ten games last year but is the best drive-in shot on the team.
Edwards had no outstanding reserves, but the best of the lot are two forward squadmen of last year, George Evans and Don Harvey, and six-foot four sophomore center, Roy Storm.
Fencers In Show At Armory Tonight
Kansas fencers step into action again at 7:15 tonight when they give an exhibition at the R.O.T.C. barbecue in the Armory. Bill Bell and Haven Glassmire will clash in a sword and dagger duel, Jack Singleton and Fred Lawson will meet with foils, and Dave Francisco will meet one of the above in a saber contest.
Women's Intramurals
By JEAN MILAM
Highest scorer in last night's basketball game was Helen Wilson who netted 13 of Watkins Hall's 19 points in their 19-13 win over Chi Omega's.
Outstanding players in the Chi Omega six were McIlrath and Hoffman. The game between Miller Hall and the IWW's was forfeited by Miller Hall.
The following results in aerial darts matches have been posted: Willcutts, ETC, defeated E. Irwin, KKG; Bingham, CH, defeated Shuss, WH; Dodge, KKG, defeated Giles, PBP; S. Irwin, KKG, defeated Wilkens, GPB; and Lemoine, PBP, defeated, Whitehead, ACO.
Because of the varsity basketball game Thursday night, only two of the four basketball games scheduled will be played. Immediately following the game, the IND's will meet the TNT's and the Theta's will play the Kappa's.
The Chi Omega's defeated Watkins Hall and the Pi Phi's beat the Alpha Chi's in Monday afternoon's ping pong matches.
Big Bill Tilden stole the show in the fifth appearance of Alice Marble's professional tennis cross-country junket last night by whipping Don Budge, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
