Face Tough Unbeaten I-State Invades Monday
"Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers, whipped by Oklahoma in their opening conference engagement, were looking forward today to their task of knocking a high scoring Iowa State club out of the ranks of the undefeated Monday night when the two teams meet in Hoch Auditorium.
Doctor Allen, mindful of the recent flu scuorage which knocked five of his men far below playing par, ordered a light shooting and passing drill for late this afternoon and another similar workout Saturday afternoon. He said center Bobby Allen and senior guard John Kline were not yet recovered from the effects of their sickness but should be near top form by Monday.
The contest will be the first conference skirmish for the Cyclones who have roared through eight nonconference games without a defeat.
First Cyclone Test
The blond Kansas ace led the field by a wide margin in the Jayhawker's early non-league engagements, averaging 17.4 points a game. He also leads scoring among the Allenmen for Big Six games, having rung the bell for 15 counters in the Oklahoma fray. Only raven-haired Bob Allen, who boasted a 9.4 average for the non-conference contests, can claim even a five-point average among the Jayhawkers. On the other hand, all five Cyclone regulars are sporting better than fivepoint-a-game marks.
Offenses of the two clubs will present a great contrast. While the invaders can depend on every one of their starting five to chip in a goodly number of points, the Jayhawkers must depend mainly on one man, forward Howard Engleman.
Nicholas A Power
High man for the Iowans is husky lumbering Gordon Nicholas, six-foot three-inch center, who has racked up 8.9 points per game. Following in order are Carol Schneider, six-foot six-inch guard, 6.6; Al Budolfson, forward, 6.0; Dale De Koster, guard, 5.9; and Fred Gordon, forward, 5.4.
With Allen, Engleman, Kline, and sophomore Marvin Sollenberger virtually assured of fourth starting berths at present, a big scramble is ensuing for the fifth slot. Working for Monday night's start at the remaining forward are senior Bill Hogben, a letterman, senior-sophomore Norman Sanneman, and sophomore Vance Hall and John "The Thin Man" Buescher.
Palmer Gets Trial Postponement
Counsel for Robert Palmer, former University student, succeeded today in getting a continuance of the preliminary hearing in district court to next Friday. Palmer is charged with perjury in connection with his trial last summer for violation of the state liquor laws.
County Attorney Milton P. Beach did not give the cause for the continance.

H. M. MASON Guest Conductor
A swell guy is bringing a classy basketball team to Lawrence to meet the Jayhawks Monday night. . . Louis Menze, Iowa State coach, is one of the best liked men in the business. . . His Cyclone quintet has breezed to eight straight victories this winter and now reigns as the favorite for the Big Six championship.
If a sophomore team can win the Big Six, Kansas should do it next year. . . The present Jayhawk freshman team is rated as the finest in the school's history, which is quite a recommendation. . . Dr. Allen has been looking for an agile big man for some time and Jack Ballard appears to be the answer to his search. . . The 6-foot 6-inch Kansas City boy should go great guns.
Cyclone Team Next
Other standouts among the freshman are Ray Evans, Charlie Black, Don Ettinger and Paul Turner. . . Evans, the greatest athlete in the history of Wyandotte high school, is a phenomenal passer. . . This is merely one of many talents for the Kansas City, Kan. boy, however, who probably will be one of the league's leading scorers. . . Black, a 6-foot 3-inch husky, looks like a great prospect. . . He is a smooth ball handler and a fine post man. . . Ettinger and Turner are hard driving players, standouts for their aggressiveness.
Best high school basketball team in the state this year is claimed by Newton, a perennial standout. . . The Railroaders lost only one man from last year's team which coped third place at the state tournament. . . Back in action are Bill McCloud, Jimmie Nebergall, Johnny Dewell, and Donald Toevs. . . Next best quintet is another Ark Valley team, Hutchinson, paced by Guy Mitchell, big center.
If we had to pick an all-Big Six team right now it would line up as follows . . . Forwards, Howard Engleman, Kansas, and Gordon Nicholas, Iowa State; center, Hugh Ford, Oklahoma; guards, Bob Allen, Kansas, and Don Fitz, Nebraska . . . Although these men are picked first for their ability, the selections also embrace considerable height . . . Ford is 6 feet 6, Fitz 6 feet 4 and Nicholas 6 feet 3 . . . All are high scorers of the first water, with Engleman a forward who can hold his own in any company . . . Fitz is a veteran defense man, equally good at pouring points in the basket and guarding the opponents' ace . . . "Beanpole" Ford has beaten Kansas the last two years at Norman,
