Four Teams Are Serious Threats in Big Six Battle This Year
By Jay Simon
Kansan Snorts Editor)
Although Missouri and Oklahoma, the defending champions, have yet to fire a shot in the 1939-40 Big Six basketball campaign, it doesn't seem too early to give the circuit the one-over in regard to man-power on hard and a bit about what each team lost from last year. So far the loop has been for the Bucks, the Knicks and the night's Iowa State-Denver contest not included) but by Kansas when the Jayhawks lost an overtime tilt to Warrenburg Teachers.
NEHRASKA—The Huskers have not been bragging much this year, but they didn't look too bad in thumping South Dakota, 39 to 15, in their openers. Coach W. H. Browne lost all Otter Werner and Bill Kavonda by graduation and that would be quite a blow to any team, but coming back are his two towering sophomore last year, A. Randal and Don Fitz.
In the inerer Randall rang up 11 points from his center position and Fitz tilted 8 from guard, Randall is 6 foot 7 and Fitz is only two inches
shorter. Another experienced cagen is Harry Pitcaithely, who will explain the team from forward.
OKLAHOMA—Coach Bruce Drake still has a few of the original "boy scats" to chief of whom are Jimmy McNett, red-hot forward who has al-

guards, but in their stead have come some fine prospects from the freshman team.
The sophas are Bill Bently, Oliver Curtis, and Dale Caulle, the latter of which has been running on the first string during most of the practices. Herb Scheffler, the big boy who transferred to Oklahoma last year and proved one of the finest rebounders in the league, scored 24 points and Hugh Ford is a 6 foot 6 junior who will give opponents lots of trouble.
IOWA STATE—The Cyclones have been going like a house afire so far and will be a serious threat in the race. In the first four names Coach Louis Munze had three men averaging 20 points per game, while State has four registers but not last year and one of the best sophomore crops in the league.
Returning regulars are Bob Harris, red-thatched junior and all conference forward who tallied 39 points in the first two games; Gordon Nichols, second; Gordon Scooner;Scoreer; Bobby Menzel, son of the coach and a fine scoring guard, and
Fred Gordon, steady defensive man. These four with A1 Buddolphon, sophomore sensation, should be the quintet that does most of the work against him. The buddolphon averaged 21 points through his prep school days and in his first
four college games chalked up 43 points.
MISSOURI—With John Lobiger, one of the fastest cagers in the loop last year, ready to captain the Tigers for the second year in a row, Coach George Edwards should be able to put one of the best starting lines on
KANSAS-Despite the lack of height, Coach "Phop" Allen has a hustling outfit returning that should give a good account of itself in the loop. Nine lettermen give the club a chance to play. The only all conference guard, was the only

Cooper and Currence are members of the football squad and have been dividing their time until they know for sure whether they will play basketball in New York or football in Florida during the holidays. When the team finally settles down, Cooper will probably team up with Harvey and Tiono, both of whom played with Cruz and Tiono alternating at the pivot Watson is a boy who would be welcome on most squads and will see lots of action.

down so badly last year. Dick Harp, Don Elenon, and Bruce Reid are a trio of seniors who will be valuable in the manufacture of the 1980-90 Kansas team. Harp should rank as the sixth seniors in the Big Six.
Kansas Relays Date Announced by Henry
Other lettermen are Bobby Allen, regular center; Howard Engleman, clever, junior篮 shooter; Bruce Voran, junior star who plays all three positions; Johnny Kline, 6 foot 2 1-2 inch guard; and Jack Sandus, 6 foot 3 inch guard. More crop is extra this year with Bob Johnson, a dead eye-forward, given the most chance of breaking into the lineup.
Mizzou lost a pair of fine players in Harlan Kiernan and Hal Halstead, but a transfer from Hanibal Junior College by the name of Loren Mills is doing a fine job making Coach Ed-wards forget about the losses. Mills is teaming with Lobsiger in the back court.

The eighteenth annual Kansas Relays will be held Saturday, April 20, 1940. it was announced yester-
day Swain Henry, director of athletics.
As is customary, the big truck and field carnival will be held the week before the Drake and Penn relays.
KANSAS STATE. The Wildcats have a new coach in Jack Gardner, and that is about all. Honer Wesche, last year's conference scoring champion, is gone. Ervin Reid, hulking center and a running mate for Wesche a year ago, is State's chief threat. Three other lettermen, Mervin Seelye, Ernie Miller, and Joe Robertson, will form the nucleus of the team.
The thirty-sixth annual University of Kansas interscholastic track and field meet, which annually draws more than 2,000 high school athletes to Lawrence, will be held day 19 during the Relays, April
