THREE
Hustlers Take On K-State Tonite
It
By
Norman
Harris
Reading Bernle Kooser's col
umn, "loopln' " In the Iowa State
Daily student, we found thla anec
dote, which is too good to keep
out of the "Rag." We're passing it
on and thanking Kooser for the
chance to inject a little spirit Into
this column.
Talking of Chuck Heileman and
Ed Bock, Cyclone stars who play
ed in the East-West game, Kooser
writes:
"Chuck tells one of the best
of the late football stories of the
season:
"Heikkenen, of Michigan,
came out to the game as an All
American, and rated one of the
stars of the Eastern squad. In
the game on New Year's day he
was shoved around quite a bit
by a lad by the name of Truzc
kowski. i
"About the third quarter, Mr.
T. said, as he helped the by now
disgruntled Heikkenen, off the
ground, "Your name is Heik
kenen, isn't it?"
"A few plays later, and Mr. T.
said, "...and you are an All
American, aren't you?"
Only a grunt from Mr. H.
"Then, after a particularly
savage smash had put Heik
kenen down again, a look of sat
. Is'action passed over Trzuckow
ski's countenance, a look that
comes only to those who hav
found the answer to something
that has long puzzled them.
" 'Heikkenen !
" 'Heikennen' " more persist
ent this time.
Still no answer.
" 'Heikkenen, know why I
wasn't picked All American?'
'Cause I ain't a citizen!'"
The "Our team is red hot" that
fans heard at the basketball game
Saturday has a story connected
with it.
When the Corn Cobs and Tas
si'ls migrated to Lawrence last
Nov. 5 tor the football game with
K.U., Nebraska took an early lead.
During the third quarter, when
the Jayhawks began a gnalward
march, and finally pushed the ball
across for their touchdown, the
K. U. rooters began the chant,
"Our team is red hot!"
When Andreson kicked his
filed goal with five minutes to
go, the chant changed hands...
and when K.U. baiketballers
took the floor Saturday night
...Cobs and Tassels weren't
forgetful. . .and immediately re
mineded Kansas that their team
was "red hot"... and it was!
Iowa State's performance at the
Midwest A.A.U. tourney In Oma
ha Saturday stamps the Cyclones
mermen as probable favorites to
cop the Big Six meet this Hpring
for the second straight year, and
eighth time In 11 years. Nebras
ka, conference champion during
the other three years, made a poor
showing, and fell far behind the
Cyclone swimmers.
Nebraska now ranks alongside
Oklahoma as a Big Six favorite In
Ihe basketball race. The Sooner
and the Srarlet have both whipped
Kansas. The monkey wrench In
Ihe race now seems to be not Ne
braska, but Missouri, victors in a
close game over Oklahoma Satur
day night. The Hunker's meet Kan
sas State tonight, and should win.
Saturday next, they Journey to
Columbia for a Tiger tilt... that
looks like a toss-up right now.

against a high scoring team such
as Nebraska showed itself to be
against Kansas.
In the Kansas game Nebraska
set itself up as an important fig
ure in the conference race along
with Missouri and Iowa State.
Oklahoma who started out with a
surprise win over Kansas ran into
difficulty when it dropped a close
game to Missouri.
Coach W. H. Browne took 12
men to Manhattan. His starting
lineup will be the same that
started against the Jayhawks:
Grant Thomas and Bill Kovanda,
forwards; Al Randall, center, and
Don Fitz and Alton Werner,
guards. In addition he took Frank
Tallman, Jack Jackson, Lloyd
Grimm, Irvin Yaffe, Bob Elliott,
Harry Pitcaithley, and Bob Thc-rien.

Kovanda, who always has been
the most aggressive player on the
Husker team, looked super-aggressive
