Kansas and Iowa State Tangle Today
BELL-owings by JIM BELL Kansen Sports Editor
Blow Up No. 3: The biggest handicap under which Bruce Oran, junior guard, has to work is from
a place with a name like Pretty Prairie. Bruce will tell you that Pretty Prairie isn't such a bad town as wide spots in basketball and play basket-ball there. When Bruce was a senior he was captain of the state
class B champions there. Out all of his sophomore year with an injury knee, VO-ran (as Dr.兰会 calls him) went to town this last season. He plays every position on the floor. His best performance last season was the Oklahoma game in Lawrence when he hooked in enough of those left hand pivot shots to run his scoring for the night to 12 points.
The Crismon and Blue will win next year. By that we mean that they will not finish nearly as badly as they did in the past season. They will win for one simple reason. Because they want to. The desire and determination to win has been absent from the Kansas gridron for many years. The Kansas football teams have been listless. They didn't let the school down on purpose. They simply locked fire and spark.
For some reason or other our position on the Kansan seems to make us technically some sort of an authority on University sports. Of late a large number of people (well at least two or three) have asked us to provide "optional" opinion of the Jayhawker team next fall. Here it is.
Next year they will be under the guidance of a man who is able to make his charges want to win. Gwin Henry is one of the nation's finest psychology coaches. He's the type of a man who is able to make a bunch of hardened athletes go to职, for dear old Siwash.
Besides the purely psychological, Kansas will have other assets out there next fall. The team has plenty of ability, Backs gallore answered Henry's call for practice this Spring. The Kansas mentor has speed to burn and plenty of blocking, passing and kicking ability at his right hand. The line is a different problem. The centers are light but fast and aggressive. Guards and tackles are the best in years, but the ends are weak. Unless something comes up on the wing positions, the Kansas defense is going to be weak on the outside.
When he's not worrying about a security of ends, Coach Henry spends sleeps nights over his backfield injuries. "Dashin' Dick Amerine," one of the finest broken field runners in the Middle West, is very susceptible to injury. During the later part of the last season he suffered a severe spinal injury and in Spring practice he received a bad knocked down shoulder. Ralph Miller, a passer who throws an amazing number of strikes and a runner of ability in both sexes, will be more completely heal. Bill Bunsen, booming 200 pound fullback has a bad leg. would take up more space than we have room for here to enumerate all the rest of the injuries. We're going to keep our fingers crossed for Gwinn next fall.
So ... Here's how it shapes up in our mind, Kansas will win at least three conference games next fall.
Cyclones Are Favored To Win; Second Game Set For Tomorrow Afternoon
- John Burge, Sophomore Hurler, Will Go To the Mound for Jayhawkers; Coach Ralph Conger's Team Out for First Conference Win of Current Season
By Clavelle Holden, c'40
It's open season on Big Six crowns and the Jayhawk baseball team will fire both barrels of its horsehide shotgun this afternoon when it opens the Conference campaign with Iowa State here this afternoon.
Thus far this year the trophy room of the University has been entered only for dusting. It appears that this may be the first year in several that another hunk of silver won't be added to the collection.
In the event that one is added it will be the track or baseball trophy.
The Jayhawkers have played only one league game so far this year, and that was the one they lost to Manhattan. In that name Kanees was facing the age
The Jayhawkers have play this year, and that was the game Kansas was facing the ace hurler of the Kansas State staff. They lost by committing errors in the field.
Must Win Todav
the Jayhawkers can win this two game series from the Cyclones they will have established themselves as one of the powers of the Big Six baseball race. Last Monday in Kansas State off in a 35 hit slugfest.
Potentially and on paper Kansas has a team that should be battling for top honors when the race ends this spring. In John Burge it has a pitcher that should be able to stop most of the hitters around the circling bases games he has pitched this Spring, he has been quite effective.
As a result of their performances against the Manhattan team, the Cyclones will enter the game as the favorite.
To supplant Burge Conger Coach has Cliff Brass, a letterman from last year. Brass will probably hold the number two spot on the hurling staff. If he can develop control, he should turn in a number of victories for the Jayhawkers this spring. Bill Lewis and 'Red Dug' will probably round out the pitching mound's first line of defense.
Infield Strong
From the infield point of view the Jayhawkers look fine. Sands, Bukaty, and Paris all new comers have
Victims of the rejuvenated Jayhawk will be Iowa State, Kansas State and Nebraska. The Missouri game is a toss up. Oklahoma will be back with a stronger team than they had last year. You can he see of one thing, however, Gwinn's boys will cause the Sooners plenty of trouble.
been doing well in the field and their work at the plate has been nothing less than excellent. Buky probably being the best hitter on the ball, Les Kopshelman, two year letterers, rounds out the infield quarter.
**Stuff and Junk:** Jack Hall, center of the 1936-37 football team was on the campus today talking with a student coming back to school next fall . . .
Pat Holcum, probably the best all-around player on the squad, the outfield guardians. Larry Hensley and Eldredh Cadwalader occupy the other two spots in the outer garden.

"MIDNIGHT"
Golf Team Meets Baker Here Today
The Jayhawker golf team will meet the Baker team this afternoon at 2 d'eclat at the Lawrence Country Club course. Coach Gleigh Oatman explained that this match was a new one on the schedule.
Oatman said that the starting line-up would be somewhat changed. Capt. Bob Busler, who has played every match so far, will take a rest and the team will be composed of Dean Ritchie, Nessley, Bill O'Brien, Rake Wakeman, Ritchie will play number one position for the Tahwavas today.
Monday afternoon, both the golf and tennis team will travel to Columbia, Mo., to participate in the scheduled matches with the Tigers. Outum announced yesterday that the team will play played off and that the Kansas team will be represented by Blaine Hibbard, Howard Engleman, Kernit Franks, Warren Shuppe, George Murphy, and Harold Sinning. Sinning, a last year's letterman, has been selected to Captain of the team as part of an outing be-out with an injured ankle, will replace Earl Radford on the team.
Spring Swimming Is Under Wau
Something new in the regular order of spring sports is the installation of a spring swimming practice at Kansas. Coach Jim Rapp said that the team had been practicing about a week.
Lloyd Koehling, who won the intramural diving event, and Paul White, who dove for the Kansans this year are also impressive.
About 10 boys are the strength of the splashes at this time. Tom Walton and Joe Morton, free style swimmers look good for this time of year. They're also at Leo Johnstone, distance swimmer and Ken Rosebush, sprint man.
Other new swimmers include Marion Cooper, winner of the 50-yard and 100-yard back stroke in the in-conditioned (also, also, also, also), George "Glide" Clerney.
The team is practicing two nights a week, Monday and Tuesday after- noons at 4:30 p.m. At the present time they have been finding fundamental sand conditioning.
Kansas finished fourth in the Big Six swimming meet this year but ardent sports followers believe that with the addition of freshman material, Kansas will rank higher in the final standings next year.
