Back to the grind again and with the start of classes, the old
rumor chest is giving forth again. . . . Everything from immediate
call to two year's deferment for reservists issues forth from said
rumor chest. . . . The status of athletics is as uncertain as can be,
with two members of the coaching staff helping to clear it up
to the muddy stage. . . . One of the two issued a statement that since
the colleges would be taken over by the government that there would
be plenty of fellows around next football autumn and intercollegiate
athletics would go on forever. . . .

you wish and then add a little assumed authority to it and you will
be just as close to the actual situation as you ever will be.
Back to Normal...
What started out to be such a dreary year for the Husker cage
stalwarts has backfired in the side-line forwards' collective face. . . .
The Scarlet-clad basketecrs dipped their banner low to allow their
opponents in early season games to walk all over them such as
Illinois. . . . But since then they seem to have been sparked by a
rejuvenated fire and they are coming back to normal. . . . After
dropping the Iowa U team from the ranks of the undefeated they
held to a single point advantage, the high-scoring Indiana five, 40-39,

Iowa State has
greenest hoop
squad in history
Prep for Saturday
fray with Wildcats
AMES, la. Iowa State's in
experienced cagers, still a bit
shaky after their close win over
Iowa Teachers last week, will take
their last hard drill Thursday
night in preparation for the Big
Six opener with Kansas State here
Saturday.
The Cyclone squad that Louis
Menze will send into his fifteenth
conference season will be the
greenest to represent Iowa State
and probably could be rated the
most inexperienced squad in
league history. Rollin Kuebler,
Junior, is the only letterman on
the first team. The only other
"inexperience" on the squad is rep
resented by Bob Hayes, an in-and-
out senior who won a minor letter
last year, and Reuben Mickelson,
letterman who has not reached his
1942 form so far this season.
Experimenting Stage.
Menze has started four sopho
mores and Kuebler in each of the
four games this year. Ray Wehde
has been a fixture at one forward
and guards Ron Norman and Gene
ODulman have been in every
game.
Chuck Gradoville, Roy Wehde,
and Orlyn Feueibach, have each
had one starting assignment at
forward. Mickelson opened at
guard in place of Oulman in the
first game of the year.

Winding up a stiff non-confer
ence basketball campaign, Big Six
schools ripped thru their final
preparation last week for loop ex
aminations and looming at the
head of the parade were Dr. For
rest C Allen's revitalized Jay
hawks. Allen's Jayhawks who flunked
out the first semester of the
casaba play with three defeats
blazed down the stretch cuffing
St. Bonaventure, St Louis, Ford
haw and St Joseph's and at pres
ent are favored to blaze right past
conference foes.
Pressing the Jayhawks to the
tape last weekend with good per
formances were Nebraska, Iowa
State, and Missouri. The improv
ing Cornhuskers forced undefeated
Indiana in losing a thriller 40 to
39. State's Cyclones spanked the
Iowa Teachers, 34 to 33 and Mis
souri's Tigers swamped Fort Leon
ard Wood.

Missouri collides with Kansas in

The Oklahoma-Kansas game is
slated to have a vital bearing on
the Big Six title race. Both teams
are loaded with cage big guns
Oklahoma has eight lettermen and
Kansas boasts nine and only a
terrific loss of manpower to the

the conference basketball scramble
other than a 2-team affair.

Sooner star but draws able sup
port on offense from Allie Paine,

of school last year. Kansas is
spearheaded by Charley Black,

Otto Schnellbacker, who has aver

and rampaging Ray Evans, top

Whether he will be called at
