sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
KANSAS—If we had any doubts about the Jayhawkers being formidable contenders for another conference crown, they were allayed by the Kansan's two-night showing against a strong University of Texas club.
In Howard Engleman, the blonde N.C.A.A. all-tournament forward, and Bob Allen, senior quarterback, the locals have a pair of veterans who show definite signs of having their best year, particularly in the scoring column. Senior John Kline and sophomore Marvin Sollenberger have looked better than average defensively as guards.
The only current sore spot appears to be at the one remaining forward. However, from seniors Bill Hogben and Norman Sanneman; Vance Hall, a hard driving soph, and John Buescher, new man; Coach Forrest C. Allen is virtually sure to pull several good performances out of the bag. Junior Bob Johnson is a capable letterman who may see action at all three positions during the season.
OKLAHOMA—As Kansas' toughest contender, we are forced to name Bruce Drake's dangerous Sooners.
Gone from Soonerland are the last of the famed "Boy Seats",
Marvin Mesch and Jimmy McNatt,
but in their place are other dangerous, though less publicized performers;
for example forwards Garnett Corbin and Dale Carille,
and towing Hugh Ford. Corbin, ineligible last season, will return to his position in the starting lineup. Ford will be remembered as the 6" 6" center who gave the Kansans two bad evenings last year.
Slated for duty in the back line are a pair of big sophomores, six-foot Allen Paine and six-foot four-inch Paul Heap. Both are rated highly.
The Sooners dropped their initial start in Norman Monday night to powerful Oregon, 42-29.
IOWA STATE—Louie Menze's Cyclones rate our last first division berth. Returning for their final year will be co-captains Al Budolfson, a high-scoring forward and lumberman Gordon Nicholas, the close-in specialist, at center.
Lending them able support will be 6' 6" Carol Schneider, a junior who has improved amazingly since last winter, and Dale De Koster, a steady playing letterman, at guards. The other forward berth will go to Gordon or Uknes.
Missing from this year's Cycle quintet will be wild-shooting "Red" Harris, an all Big Six choice at forward two years ago, who was recently dropped from the squad for failure to report for practice regularly.
NEBRASKA—For all their height the Cornhuskers can be rated no better than fourth in this book. Returning after a year of injuries will be senior Don Fitz, a 6' 4" pivot man of ability. Fitz will probably replace 6' 7" Al Randall, who has not measured up to expectations during the last two years.
Sid Held, a big muscular sentinel
who was named on many All-Star
selections last year, is the only other
must-worthy (95%)

Women's Intramurals
By JEAN MILAM
With very little effort, the Kappas copped their first basketball victory when they defeated the A. D. Pis last night, 35-6. Lura Jane Smith was high scorer for the Kappas followed by Ellen Irwin and Katherine Hines.
At the same time, the Corbin hall team defeated the Thetas, 22-10. With the excellen guarding of Peggy Davis, the Thetas held their opponents to a small lead until the latter part of the game. Lenore Grizzell, Mildred Wells and Alta Bingham were mainly responsible for Corbin hall's win.
Jayhawks Whip Steers 48-45 For Second Win
By DON H. PIERCE Kansan Sport Editor
A battling band of Kansas Jayhawkers refused to accept defeat last night and came from behind three times to make a clean sweep of their two game series with Texas' Longhorns, grabbing a spine-chilling 48-45 victory in the finale in Hoch auditorium.
Again pacing the fast-rolling Kansans to victory were a pair of veteran shotmakers, forward Howard Engleman and "quarterback" Bobby Allen. Not content with a torrid total of 30 points in the Jayhawkers' opening victory, the senior duo came back in last night's fray for 35 counters between them.
The contest was closely fought from the opening tip-off, the count being tied ten times and the lead changing hands no less than six.
Also cast in the Red and Blue role were Bob Johnson whose neat recovery gave the homelings a two-point lead with only four minutes to go and sophomore Vance Hall, whose splendid drive-in when all seemed lost tied the count at 43-all. Allen gave the Jayhawkers their final lead a moment later by sinking a short one-hander and the last of two free throws while Engleman slipped in a brilliant underhand set-up for the clincher wint a minute to go.
Hall. Johnson Come Through
It remained for Steer captain Chester Granville to walk off with the evening's scoring honors as he counted 21 points.
Steers Off To Lead
The courageous Texans hopped off to an immediate lead on Moore's free throw and Colley's right hander from close in, but Allen, Kline, and Engleman hit four goals in quick succession to give the Kansans their first lead.
Then the ding-dong battle commenced in earnest, Houp, Hull, and Cooley tied the score at 8-all, Allen put the Jayhawkers back in the lead with a long two-hander; then it was the Longhorns again to go ahead finally 15-12.
Kansas closed with a late first half bombardment to lead at the inter- (continued to page five)

"Buckshot" Thomas and Jim Brown had their eyes on the hoop for the Phi Psi "B", gathering 13 and 14 points respectively. Wendstand tallied 12 points to lead the losers.
