Be cause of this, might play three guards all the time, with veterans Gary Garner (5-11 senior), Charlie Rudd (6-0 jun ior) and sophomore Ron Cole man (6-P2) leading the way. Rudd, because he jumps well, will probably be on the inside where he can work the board. Two-year lettermen. Don Early (6-5 senior) and George Flamank (6-5 senior), provide back-line strength and experi ence. Team problems are loss of Ray Bob Carey and Bob Price which will hurt scoring poten tial (these two averaged al most 40 points last year). Carey also was leading re bounder of team, which was one of Tigers weak points last year and will not be j helped considerably this year because of lack ot neigni among veterans and top sopo- more candidates, mis proo lem could be helped with rapid development of sopho more Dick Million (6-81 and return of eligibility of sopho more George Moore (61-7).

Team problems include finding replacement of versa tile Farrell Johnson and Jim Kaiser, who was the team's tallest player at 6-9.

It L ommmsM, Sports Spigot Hey, Norge. Yeah, Dog? I see where we're losing fourteen seniors from the football team. Gee. that's sure going to hurt our chances in t h e Cotton Bowl. I was referring to next year's team, stupid. Where do you think we'll suffer the most? It looks to me like the offensive line will lose a lot of experience. But how about the backficld? We won't be seeing Mc Cloughan, Hohn, Smith and Tucker, any more. Yes. but with Wilson, Solich, Kirkland, Churchich, plus Charlie Winters from the freshman team, the back field problem should resolve itself fairly well. We shouldn't have too much trouble at the end slots with Grace. Jeter, White and Coleman back, although I hate to see Doepke, Koinzan and Love gone. Where HAS Love gone? Pul-eeez. Don't forget that we'll only lose one player from the Blackshirt squad, Joe McNulty. We could very well be the top defensive team in the nation next year. Speaking of the top. we were first in five out of six Big Eight offensive-defensive statistics. Oklahoma averaged 1.1 yards more in rushing to nudge us out in that depart ment. That's only eight more yards all year. What do you think tiie Big Eight will look like next year? 1 have no idea. ' ' Come on, say something, nobody will read the column this far anyway. OK: Nebraska to repeat: Oklahoma, tough as always; Missouri, they'll be in the light: Kansas, downhill slide; Oklahoma State, first division possibilities; Colorado, on the upswing; Kansas State, will improve; Iowa State, poor Clay Stapleton.
