Oklahoma's Sooners, seemingly

best defense is a good offense,
have had the second highest point
total in the league scored against
them. Seven Sooner foes have hit
243 points. However, Iowa State,
who won their first conierence
game against K-State last Friday
night, allowed their foes 18b points
in five games, so on that basis
the Sooners are better than the

Kansas State's latest blow came
when it was learned Ervin Reid,
ace center who injured his shoul
der in the Oklahoma game will be
unable to play against the Husk
ers. Forward Joe Robertson is out
because of an ankle injury, and
Ernie Miller, who had recovered
from a broken jaw, sprained an
ankle.
Fitz still out.
Don Fitz will not play against
the Wildcats, altho Coach W. H.
Browne has hopes that the tall
guard will be able to play when
the Huskers invade Iowa State
this week end.
Bud Tallman, game captain, will
start at one forward, with Irv
Yaffe, who scored ten points
against the Sooners, opposite him,
in all probability, as Harry Pit
caithley, who has recovered from
his back injury, is in a slump.
Tall Al Randall at center, and
sophomores Sid Held and Hart
mann Goetze at guards will com
plete the Husekrs' starting lineup.
Forwards listed.
Dan Horacek and Chris Lang-
vardt, who have scored 48 and 43
points respectively ii; seven games,
will open for Kansas State at for
wards. Wilbur Reed is slated to
replace Reid at center, while Nor
ris Holstrom and Melvin Seelye
are the guards.
Reserve strength of the K-State
team is inexperienced, as the sec
ond Wildcat team is composed of
forwards Garrett and Woo If, cen
ter Checksfield, and guards Guer
rant and Graham, all who have
seen but a few minutes of confer
ence competition.
