A late entry of an all-opponent
team comes from Oklahoma after
a poll of the squad conies to us. . .
Evidently, they respected mighty
Texas as they picked six members
of the Longhorn team on their
opponent team.. The team includes
Kutner, Texas and Deals, Santa
Clara; tackles, Cohenour, Texas
and Swink, Oklahoma Aggies;
guards, Daniels, Texas and Poppin,
Santa Clara; center, Jenkins, Mis
souri; backs, Martin, Texas; Lay
den, Texas; Crain, Texas and
Steuber, Missouri.
Lack of Material?
Considering that they played
ail of the Big Six team in addi
tion to Marquette, Santa Clara,
Oklahoma A. & M. and Texas,
it seems that they were very
much impressed by the Texas
team. . .There is a noted absence
of Big Six stars on the list...
They lost to two conference
teams while they were about it
also. . .Was this due to a lack of
suitable material or the fact that
the Sooners played Texas so
early in the season and were so
soundly thumped?
Track due begin
vun DusKetbull under way,
track coaches throughout the con
ference are trotting their races out
on their indoor tracks in anticipa
tion of the not-so-far-off indoor
season that starts along with the
new semester. . .Coach Jack Jac
obs is anticipating a good season
for his tracksters with the hurdle
weakness, traditional at the Soon
er institution, well out of the
way.
Phog Allen Blasts Out
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen
has lashed out again in his opin
ions on Big Six basketball...
This time he takes a pot shot at
picking the winner... "I will be
utterly frank concerning my re
action to the ' coming Big Six
basketball campaign this winter.
If we cannot win it, we would
rather that Louis Menze of Iowa
State wins it," opines Phog.
Phog states that he is kept busy
worrying about his own team and
not about everyone else's team in
the conference. . .He was sure that
all of the other coaches knew
more about their opponents' teams
than about their own... "A. J.
Lewandowski, Cornhusker mentor,
made a big splurge last year at
Nebraska and Husker followers
are expecting much from their
coach," Phog stated in his some
what sarcastic summary of the
cage situation here.
If you know any letterman
that was initiated into the an
cient and revered brotherhood of
N men at Nebraska on Tuesday
evening, don't force them to as
sume any awkward positions...
They asked themselves one ques
tion while the ceremonies were
going on, "Just where does this
get me in the end?"... And the
answer was yes... Watch Kenny
Simmons rouseup when he hears
someone call him, "Lester"...
It's all over for them now and
next year they will be swinging
the boards.

For Road Trip
Over Vacation
. . . Heading East
NORMAN, Okla., Dec. 17
After flailing Southern Methodist
of the Southwest conference 57 to
34 in the opener here Saturday
night, Oklahoma's big rookie
basketball team will head east and
north for road games with two
formidable eastern and two tough
northern teams.
Coach Bruce Drake's rebuilt
club, composed almost entirely of
sophomores and last year's re
serves, will leave Norman Wed
nesday, meeting St. Johns Decem
ber 20 in Madison Square Gar
den, George Washington, Decem
ber 22 in Washington, D. C, De
Paul, December 27 in Chicago
and Bradley Tech, December 29
at Peoria, 111.
In Madison Square Garden.
Last year Oklahoma lost to St.
Johns in the Garden 41-45 and to
Bradley Tech at Peoria 45-49. The
Sooners have never met DePaul
or George Washington. Last year
George Washington won 18 and
lost 4. DePaul lost to Purdue last
week by only four points.
During the Christmas holidays
the Sooners will lay over at Corn
ing, N. Y., where Bob Duncan,
former Sooner athlete, coaches
Corning high school. Duncan is
arranging a basketball clinic dur
ing the short Sooner stop.
Plenty of Experience.
Drake likes the tough eastern
and northern invasion because of
the experience it will give his

Kappa Psi, 22-0.
Delta Upsilon over Delta Tau
Delta, 9-8.

new team. The Sooners will meet
all sorts of difficulties, cracker
Box courts, slick floors, strange
officiating interpretations and a
multitude of tricks by the crack
eastern and northern players, all
of which should ideally season the
Sooners for the Big Six conference
race.
Despite their inexperience, the
Sooners apparently have their big
gest starting club of the last 13
years. Paul Heap and Gerald
Tucker are 6 feet 4 inches tall,
Richard Reich, 6 feet 2 and Tom
Rousey and A. D. "Ug" Roberts 6
feet 1. The weights for this ag
gregation are Tucker 200, Heap
187. Rousey 178, Reich 175 and
Roberts 165.
Weight Means Something.
Weight is often synonymous
with success in basketball, as wit
ness Coach Hugh McDermott's
Oklahoma team of 1928 that was
all-victorious. Vic Holt, its center,
was 6-6 and wriihed 200, Tom
Churchill 6-2 a&. ;90, Granny
Norris 6-1 and 185, and Roy Le
Crone 6-2 and 180. Drake, the
present Sooner coach, was the
smallest man on the famous club
with his measurements of 5 Jl'.a
and 165 pounds.
The University of North Caro
lina, although an institution of the
state, did not receive state appro
priations for nearly 100 years
after its founding.
