New Sophs To Bolster Sooners
Addition of Four Men Boosts Oklahoma Cage Squad to 18; Reserves Are Needed
Their addition raises the Sooner varsity squad up to 1 men, 14 of whom are sophomores playing the first basketball of their lives.
Lack of dependable reserves has been a Sooner weakness all year. It was especially noticeable in the Oklahoma Angie game at Stillwater, which the Farmers won in the final seconds, 38 to 37. McDermott used only two reservoirs in that strenuous contest. The team had three reservoirs had built on 8-point lead midway of the second half, they wilted badly in the stretch.
Norman, Ok., Jan. 25.—(Special)—Sorely lacking reserves of size and quality, Coach Hugh Mclermott of the University of Oklahoma boy scouts will welcome addition of four second-semester sophomores to the team. In the lack of condition and familiarity with the Sooner team play.
However, none of the four is yet ready to replace any of the five "boy scats" starters, principally because all lack the tremendous stamina necessary for racing up and down the floor that is so essential to Coach McKenna's breathing. All may soon break in as substitutes however.
These players are Clarence 'Took' Benton, Shawnee; Bill Jennings, of Norman; Slifton Spagle, Oklahoma City Capitol Hill; and Ted Deskins, Praise, Ky. Spagle was an ulit-state high school player on Capitol Hill's great 1955 team. Benton is not the only team to ever come out of Shawnee since the days of John Dunlap, Leslie Niblack, and Cliffon Shearer.
Leading the Big Six conference race with two victories and no defeats, the Sooners are concentrating this week on final examinations. The next basketball game will be with Kansas State at State Park, be scored by a team with Nebraska's Northwest Arkansas at Norman on Feb. 5.
Cyclones Drill on Defense For Game With Nebraska
Ames, Iowa, Jan. 25..-(Special.)- Intensive work on defense this week
may bring about changes in the Iowa State basketball lineup for the Big Six battle with the University of Nebraska here Saturday night. Back home after games on the road with the three teams now in the top division of the loop, the team will be terminated to create another upset in what has already proved to be an unrest season.
Coach Louis Menze is anxious to reduce the scoring average—38 points per game—Big Six opponents have made against the Cyclones, and at the same time add more diversity to the Iowa State scoring. Blahbikin, senior guard who is leading the loop scorers with 64 points in four defensive bursts, will sophomores Bob Menze and Bill Biss have been the only two consistent defensive performers.
Couch Menze's demands for improvement may put two new men into the Cyclone starting lineup. Al Menze, sophomore from Des Moines, has been used quite a bit at the center position in the past three contests, and if his showing warrants it he may get great credit, another yearning, former state high school hurdling champion, is big and fast, but he has had very little basketball experience.
One forward position is still a wide open fight among Sophomores Wendell Allan and Don Boreferd, and Harlan Anderson, with the starter being the man who shows up in his second half. And defense ability is the best of the three, but he hasn't been hitting the hoop with regularity.
Callender; Ontario, Jan. 24.-(UPP)
"The famous Dionne quinquemple now have an income of $17,000 a year from their investments, plus a large revenue from royalties and testimonials, according to Judge J. A. Vafin, one of their three guardians."

The babies' living expenses amount to $24,000 a year at present and will have to be increased, according to present plans.
judge Valin estimates the quinquefalts' fortune at $220,000, and believes it will reach $1,000,000 when they reach the age of 18. The bulk of the quinfa's fortune is invested in dominion and provincial bonds, but a cash reserve is held for current expenses.

No Cyclone Mat Falls This Year
In succession, the Cyclone grappers, defending champions of the Big Six conference, decisively beat Wisconsin, Northwestern, 1111 in and Minnesota, all from the Big Ten. And not in any one of those 32 bouts was an Iowa State entrant thrown. In fact the Cyclone grappers have lost only seven bouts by decisions. Capt. Frank Linn is at the top of the scoring column with John Kirstein, the only other unbound Cyclone second place. Leahad has scored 14 points and Kirstein $12\%$. Next Monday the Cyclones step out of Big Ten competition to face the powerful Iowa State Teacher Panthers.
(Note: Kansas has not been represented by a wrestling team for the past two years.)

One professor on the Hill had a good laugh on the boys and girls Tuesday. He told them last week what the questions on the final would be and said to study the answers. So in a thirty-odd minds popped the same idea. "Why not write out the test in the quiz book at home?" The students came to class to learn more about grasps to chargin. "Just to make this test fair," said the teacher, "will you all please take your quiz books and start writing on page four. The first pages must be blank." This caught the thirty-odd students.
Heard in a cram session yesterday: An old-fashioned girl blushes
when she is embarrassed; a modern girl is embarrassed when she blushes.
We were shocked too when we read it: A professional bicycle rider is worth only 786 a week, if his earnings are based on the amount of electrical energy he can generate in that t time. Alfred Le Tourner, French champ, in one minute of fast riding, can only 900 hours. This makes him worth only 786 for the week. This statement might have been a little false because the suit he had on was probably charged.
Everyone makes mistakes at some time but some are more definite than others:
It was a truck.
Thought it was thunder—
Here I lie,
Under sod and muck
Under sod and muck
So with that little dity we'll leave you to your own worries until next Tuesday. Adios.
