sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Shooting to you a few dots and dashes on Texas basketball playing style and personnel, hoping to give some idea of what the Jayhawkers must face when they collide with the big Southwest conference crew in their two-game series Monday and Tuesday nights in Hoch auditorium.
Following are the salient points of the style of play employed by the Longhorns, which will look somewhat disorganized in comparison with what the average Jayhawker fan is used to being served:
1. Long on height, the Steers depend on fierce rebounding for a major part of their attack. They prefer to try ceaseless tip-ins once they shoot instead of passing out from the tangle under the basket.
2. When they fast break, the two guards lead the surge down the floor, not the forwards, who are too large and relatively slow. The three lane type of fast break is employed.
3. The Texans employ a three-out, two-in set offensive style with their biggest man playing a single post around the keyhole region. This man will handle the ball on all floor plays.
4. They dribble vastly more than any Big Six team, but are better ball handlers than most Southwest conference clubs. Prefer one handed shots to the customary two hander.
5. The Southerners employ a strict man-for-man defense switching men on offensive screens.
6. The last and most important point is that they play rougher than most college basketball teams and may lose one or two of their best performers via the foul route.
Now for the personnel. The front line men are big rugged rebounders with plenty of heigh, endurance, and ball handling ability. The guards are fairly small, fast, and dangerous.
1. Captain Chester Granville, F.
6 ft. 3 in., 195 pounds—"Big Trapper"
as he is known to his mates is a rawboned 2-letterman, possessing a neat fake and subsequent right handed pivot shot. A fine rebounder.
One of the two most dangerous men on the club.
2. W, D. "Speedy" Houpe, C, 6 ft 5 in, 215 pounds—A lean blond, possessing the best repetoire of shots on the team. His favorites are a right hand pivot, and two-handed overhead jump-turn efforts. Gets most of his points on tip ins. A good rebounder. Fair on defense.
3. Denton Cooley, F, 6 ft. 4 in.
195 pounds.The best defensive man in the front line.Also a good right handed or two handed shot,
hard battler, and excellent rebounder.In line for Phi Beta Kappa next spring.
4. Thurman "Sleu-foot" 'Hull, G, 6 ft, 165 pounds.—The most experienced player of the five. A forward for two years, he was changed to guard this year because of speed. A hustler, clever ball handler, good fast breaker. Specializes in a righthanded push shot.
5. Udell Moore, G, 6 ft., 160 pounds. —Son of Wiley Moore, former pitcher with Kansas City Blues and N.Y. Yanks. Best defensive man on the
Frosh Showing Insures Bright Cage Future
Kansas University basketball prospects for the future are bright.
Even if one did not wish to believe this, he would be feroed to accept such a conclusion after the yearling's fine court showing against "Phog" Allen's varsity cagers Friday night in Hoch auditorium.
For the Frosh, who kept things close before succumbing in the end 33-31, came up with a starting five which more than lived up to pre-season notice. Evans A Standout
In Ray Evans, fine all-around star from Wyandotte high school and Don "Red" Ettinger, Independence, Mo., the Greenies uncovered two clever passing, close guarding, sharp shooting guards. Evans, who had been out for practice but three days, looked especially good as he fed his mates through the close varsity defense with phenomenal passing and took freshman scoring honors with 11 points.
Paul Turner at forward, displayed a steady brand of ball, collecting nine points, while Jack Ballard at center, and big Charlie Black, and George Phillips at forwards gave indication that they will be more than ready to step into bigger shoes next winter.
Will Play Again
Doctor Allen commented after the game that it was the best freshman squad he had seen in 22 years. "Those kids have height, speed, and plenty of natural basketball ability," he said. He promised a return engagement of the two teams later in the year.
Ballard opened the evening's festivities with a neat lay-in after taking a quick bounce from Evans. Turner followed with a lefthander from the free throw line to give the yearlings their only lead of the night.
The remainder of the first quarter, however, was a one-man scoring spree by handsome Bill Hogben, senior forward, who broke loose for all his team's first canto points to give the Varsity a 9-8 lead. He

club. Aggressive, and fiery, he will direct most of his team's offense.
carried off the evening's scoring honors with 13 points.
The oldsters increased their lead to 19-12 at halftime on goals by Engleman, Hogben, and Allen and substitute forward Vance Ha11 dumped in seven third quarter tallies to hike the total to 23-18. But here Evans, Ettinger, and Turner closed with a late barrage on the basket which kept the crowd of 1,000 persons in an uproar throughout the waning moments.
