Ask Engineering Seniors To Visit Jakosky's Office
Senior engineers expecting their degrees in June should come to Dean J. J. Jakosky's office during regular office hours for checking or records sometime this week.
OLD RIVALS—
(from page three)
dinarily are regarded as toss-ups, Kansas will be a heavy favorite to emerge the victor. Missouri was hit hard by graduation and is not expected to be in the running for the championship this year.
While also not as potent as last season, the Jayhawks have a smooth working team that should win its share of games. Carrying the load are "The Three Musketeers," a trio of seniors, Howard Engleman, Bob Allen and John Kline.
Engleman, a brilliant high school
basketball player at Arkansas City, is shooting for All-American honors this year. In five non-conference games he averaged 17.4 points a contest.
Allen. Kline Ace Defenders
Allen and Kline have been doing the heavy work on defense. Both are fine guards, with Kline a standout on rebounds. Allen maneuvers the team on offense from his position of "quarterback."
Despite the swaths cut in Missouri's team by graduation, the Tigers will put an all-veteran team on the floor. Seniors Martin Nash and Arch Watson will team up with juniors Herb Gregg, Keith Bangert and Loren Mills to comprise the starting lineup.
NIP CYCLONES (from page three)
visitors within one point. Engleman hit his last basket of the first half a minute later and Schneider kept the Cyclones close with two free tosses to Hall's one.
Uknes Ties It
The husky Uknes tied things up with but three minutes remaining, and De Koster capped the rally with another long swisher and a free throw. Sub Charlie Walker chipped in a free toss in the last half minute to close the Kansan's first half scoring.
The Menzemen picked up where they left off as the second canto opened building up a six point lead, their widest of the evening. Forward Fred Gordon looped in a charity on Sanneman's mistake and Schneider bagged a free toss and a recovery bucket.
Then it was the Jayhawkers turn to run up full sail. Allen fired from the side, missed, then followed in for the basket. His long side archer pulled the count to 26-28 and Sollenberger's free throw and a left-handed push shot by the smoth-finessing Engleman gave the Jayhawkers the lead once more.
Cyclones Won't Quit
The Lowans came back to grab their last short-lived lead with eight minutes to go as Budolfson climbed, out of a scramble under the Iowa goal and canned a short set up, then added a free throw when Sollenberger fouled him on the shot.
After Sollenberger and Bill Hogben had failed in charity line efforts, the irrepressible Allen, fighting his heart out, swished a 90-degree angle righthander to put the locals on top for the last time.
Hall, who's hustling floor play and eight point scoring total labeled him as a conference sophomore to watch, made good one of two free throws, then Bobby added two more. Engleman suddenly rekindled his scoring fire for three quick goals and it was all over—almost.
lowans Are Game
Schneider bagged a tip-in and Gordon, DeKoster, and Uknes jammed out of the ever-increasing under-the-basket melees for five desperate points 'to make the game visitors
threats to the last.
The contest grew so heated in the final minutes that all five of the Cyclone regulars were sporting three fouls. Of these only Budolfson saw the bench because of a fourth infraction.
Hall accounted for the Jayhawkers final bucket as he took a long pass from Allen for an easy set-up.
AS WE SEE IT— (from page 3)
gladdened many doubting hearts. In this book a consistency of the play of these two boys is all that is needed to land them on anybody's All Big Six selection.
Another bright spot in the Cyclone skirmish was the showing of sophomore Vance Hall, who turned in his best exhibition of the year in counting eight points and displaying a fine brand of ball otherwise. The black haired former Downs high school star may answer many an opening tip-off from now on.
Marvin Sollenberger, another sophomore, although not a scorer, has shown ability and will improve. The veteran Johnny Kline at the other sentinal nearly always plays an outstanding defensive game and can give the Allenmen as bruising rebound play as will be found anywhere in the league.
Add to this the fact that "Phog" does have some capable reserves in Bill Hogben, Charlie Walker, John Buescher, Norman Sanneman, T. P. Hunter, and Jim Arnold and we are ready to stick by our early season prediction that Kansas will win the title.
At least, that's as we see it.
Certainly the Jayhawkers may and probably will get nipped once more or even twice, but in the end we think they will be able to present as good a conference record as any.
Well-known foreigners present to view Jayhawker wares last night were Paul Amen, former University of Nebraska all-around star, now assistant basketball coach; Jack Gardner and Bill Schutte, Kansas State, and George Edwards, veteran Missouri cage mentor.
Rosy-cheeked John Kline, the locals' big rebound specialist, says he'll swear to his dying day that he had committed only three fouls when waved to the bench late in the last half of his fourth infraction.
Bobby Allen accompanied Kline to the sidelines and insisted that he still had one mistake coming, telling "Phog" to put sub Jim Arnold back on the bench. "Okay," the senior Allen replied, but the scorekeeper intervened and that was that.
The wonderful improvement of big Carol Schneider, the Cyclones skyscraping guard, over last year in a tribute to coach Louie Menze, who has turned the big fellow into a much better defensive man and excellent rebounder. Menge played under Dr. Allen at Warrensberg teachers.
