The Cyclones Are Next
Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
A few facts and fancies from the realm of sports by one who is still doubting those Friday night goings-on. What with the way the varsity connected against the frosh, the way Arturo Godoy stayed 15 heats with Joe Louis, and the way Jimmy McNatt chalked up 30 (count them) points against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
McNatt's rampage, which incidentally broke his old scoring mark of 29 points for a single game, makes me wonder about Sidney Held, the Huskers' sterling sophomore guard whom most of the scribes around the circuit have been tabbing the best find of the year . . . If the tall Nebraskan did not start out guarding the sizzling Sooner, Coach Harold Browne surely switched him on to McNatt early in the game . . . Iowa State hung up its first conference win of the season at the expense of Kansas State when Gordon Nicholas found his basket eye to tally 17 points . . . The rugged Cyclone pivot doubled his scoring total for the year as he had scored only 17 in his first four games.
Year in and year out the smaller colleges of the state grab up many fine track stars that really should come to Mt. Oread for their book learnin' . . . Emporia State landed three standouts in "Ch u c k" Zarker, little Topeka miler; Clarence Amos, state quarter-mile champ from Fredonia; and Ranolph Woelk, the Goessel boy who went under 4:30 at the K.U. inter-scholastic meet here last spring.
Reports from the East prior to Glenn Cunningham's Friday night bow to Chuck Fenske in a 4:13.5 mile indicated that the race might be the Kansas miller's last . . . How about that talk of him doing a special job at K.C. when the Big Six teams hold their indoor meet there next month . . . And how can we get along without a specialty act from Glenn when the Relays roll around . . . E. L. Falkenstein announced that 316 persons paid $54.25 to see the charity game between the Varsity and Fresh Friday night. The average price paid was 17 cents . . . Villanova, 1940 grid opponent of the Jayhawkers, will have to get a new football coach now that "Clipper" Smith resigned to take a job at Loyola of Los Angeles . . . Smith's teams had lost only two games in the last three years.
Bruce Reid, departed Jayhawker eager, has hooked up with the Bluff City independents and in his first start picked up 13 points against the Wichita Universals . . . Missouri avenged an early season defeat Friday night when Washington University was turned back, 35 to 26, in Brewer fieldhouse . . . Blaine Currency set the pace with nine points.
Kansas Resumes Conference Play Tomorrow Night
It will be a case of necessity being the mother of victory for the Kansas Jayhawkers as they pull into the back stretch of the Big Six basketball race with a conference battle against Iowa State at 7:30 tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
Trailing in third place behind Oklahoma's fast tracking Sooners and a tough Tiger from Missouri, the Kansan encounter the first of a sizable series of foes they must defeat to remain in the championship battle.
Cyclones Finally Win
Iowa State, until Friday night the last place team, unwrapped its strong potential offensive for the first time in conference competition as Kansas State was toppled, 45 to 32. The Cyclones
victory, combined with Oklahoma's 45 to 28 win over Nebraska, dropped the Huskers into the cellar spot.
Leading the Iowa's sharpshooting legions will be Gordon Nichols, the lanky center who caged 17 points in the Kansas State victory. Bob Menzel, son of the Cyclone coach, is a consistent point-making guard.
First Since Husker Game
The Jayhawkers will be making a re-entry into Big Six play having played no contests since the Nebraska game here Jan. 23. In heading into the final stages of the title scramble, Dr. F. C. Allen's squad must be set to move through their remaining six conference foes without
DR.F.C. ALLEN
defeat if they are to bring Mt. Oread its eighth Big Six pennant.
In its final tune up for the Iowa State meeting, Kansas galloped past the Jayhawker Freshmen Friday night 63 to 29 in a contest played for the Finnish relief and infantile paralysis funds.
Sub Teams Frolic
Before a small crowd which saw more comedy than basketball and got more laughs than thrills, the Varsity used second and third string quintets through most of the high-scoring exhibition. Substitutions were made with nearly the same frequency as baskets, Doctor Allen using 17 from the Varsity and the Frosh sending 18 men into action.
Although he played only 15 minutes, Ralph Miller dropped in baskets with unerring aim to total 13 points for high honors. Bob Allen, sweeping down the side court repeatedly to sink his one-handed shot, counted 12 points for the Varsity.
It was a handicapped Frosh squad that played a hopeless game tomm
