On the credit side of the Sooner ledger are seven returning let tcrmen from last year's surpris ingly powerful club built around three sophomores, Gerald Tucker, Dick Reich and Bob McCurdy, all of whom return. Allie Paine, competent little sophomore ball handler of the 1940-41 team, is also back. In the debit column are (1) loss f three letter men. Don "Bones" Jones, hero of the victory over Kansas at Norman, Mitch Simon, hero of the one-point defeat of Kansas State at Manhattan and Warren Lehman and (2) loss to the armed forces of the all-victorious Sooner freshman team of last year. For the first time since basketball started at Norman back tn 1907, no Bophomores are reporting. This depletes the squad's re serve strength and might be fatal over the long haul of the 23-game schedule. Besides, sophomores have been the life blood of prac tically all Oklahoma's greatest teams, as for example Floyd Mc Bride, Maurice "Doc" Ruppert and John Dunlap of the "24 quintet, Bruce Drake of the '27 team, Tom Churchill of the '28 team, Laurie Meyer and Cliff Shearer of the '29 team, Jimmy McNatt, Marvin Msrh and Roscoe Walker Jr. of the fast-breaking Boy Scats of as nxA Tucker.
