Not since we worked our way
into insolvency 15 years ago and
then went into a relapse have we
encountered a sports bargain equal
to the deal we're going to reveal
here.
Cornhusker tpsrt followers can
view both the Nebraska-Kansas
Mate indoor track dual and the
Hutker-Muzou cage mix Saturday
night on the same ticket. Arrange
ment for the evening spaces the
two affairs far enough apart so
observers can see the entire show
in both rings.
Onlookers at the Innocent tap
ping last eve rubbed their eyes
and thought back to bygone grid
iron days.
For there was "Blond Bomber"
Zikmund tackling "Boob" McNutt,
grid tackle and Rag society mat
ron. Then there was the "Schmee
gie" boy Freddy Metheny ap
plying one of those TNT Metheny
tackles to Bob Heinzelman, Musker
cage scoring ace.
Zikmund and Metheny both re
vealed in an exclusive interview
that they had religiously trained
for the tapping. "Ought to get us
in shape for spring football-' was
their press statement.
Missouri's surprising victory
over Oklahoma in the Big Six cage
race again illustrates the "show
me" school's rise as a tri-spot title
contender.
Steuber 4. Company walked off
with the league grid title last fall.
Indoor cinder doings thus far in
dicate that nothing less than a
Mizzou breeze is expected in the
finals two weeks hence. And now
we have the Tiger upswing in the
cage world.
From Joe Newman, director of
K-State sport publicity, comes a
written missive describing the ace
Wildcat courtman, Mendenhall.
"Age 20. Weight 180. Height
62." Graduated from Belleville
high schol in 1938 after earning
one letter in football, two in bas
ketball, two in track. He was a
member of the Belleville team
which won the North Central Kan
sas league basketball title in 1938.
His high school coach was Avy
Masterson. K-State record: Fresh
man basketball numeral, 1939-40.
Varsity basketball letter, 1940-41.
He saw regular duty 'last season
as a sophomore and developed into
one of the best defensive men on
the squad. He has shown that he
can shut the door in the face of
the opposition's toughest offensive
man. He is fast and is expected to
be a starter."
Mr. Mendenhall wil be open for
Inspection on the Coliseum hard
woods this evening. -

Here Tonight
Versatile John Bortka, K-State
guard, will be one of the Wild
cat offensive leaders here Wed
nesday night when his club chal
lenges Nebraska in the Coli- ;
seum. A good ball-handler,
Bortka also shines defensively.
Mizzou Tips
Sooner Five
... Jaj hawks In
Mi?ouri dropped the big bomb
shell in Big Six play Monday in
upsetting the title-bound Okla
homa Sooners, 50-45. Prior to
losing this one, the Sooners were
hot on trail of the league-leading
Kansas Jayhawkers.
Climbing into a 19-18 ha If time
lead, the Missourians were never
headed during the final two quar
ters. High-scoring "Titanic" Tuck
er was held to 10 points. Jenkins
led the Missouri attack with 19
points.
Missouri's next fray is against
the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the
Coliseum boards Saturday night.
A strong second-half offensive
carried Phog Allen's Kansas cap
ers to a 37-29 victory over stub
born Iowa State. The win left
Kansas with a 6-0 league status,
compared to Oklahoma's 5-2 second-place
ranking.
Cyclones Meet
Navy Officers
AMES. Ia.. Feb. 16. For the
second straight year Iowa State
college will play a Navy team ia
a Red Cross benefit when the
basketball team meets the Iowa
City Pre-Flight officers team at
Fairfield Thursday night.
The contest, sponsored by the
Fairfield lions club, will pit Ron
Norman, Cyclone guard, against
his old coach, Lieut. Dwight
Hoover, pre-flight forward. Hoover
is on leave from his Fairfield
coaching post for service with the
Navy. Norman is considered the
greatest star developed at Fair
field since Dick Crayne.

'Big Six Second Berth
May Be Decided'-Weir
. . . K-State Coming
Team Play
May Provide
Husker Win
. . . Tonight
Mentor Ad Lewandowski's Corn
husker maple-pounders were pre
pared today to deliver another Big
Six sales talk on the coliseum ma
ples tonight against the invading
K-State Jayhawkers, cellar inhabi
tant of the current league basket
ball chase.
Whether the Cornhuskers can
successfully convince the invaders
that third place in the league be
longs to Nebraska depends upon
how far Lewandowski's flippers
have improved since their last en
gagement against Kansas. Husker
passes flew wild that night, de
fensive play was lax, and the goal
ing was strictly intramural.
Dirks Leads.
Word hadn't yet filtered over
the press wires last night whether
Mario Dirks, K-State scoring ace,
had received his army air corps
call. If Dirks is not available for
the Huskers. one-half of the Jay-
hawk scoring punch will be miss
ine. Besides Dirks. Mentor "Chili"
Cochrane faces the chance of los
ing Bruce Holman, diminutive for
ward, and Phil Sechler, towering
reserve center two more air
corps reserve "enlistees."
George Mendenhall, 6-2 guard is
one of the better rear barricaders
in the loop. A desperate stint of
last-minute goaling was required
by the Olathe Clipper to top the
Kansans last week-end.
Lack of team play against Kan
sas and recent Husker foes has
been noticeable. If the Huskers In
tend to remain in the top bracket
in Big Six play, they'd best re
member team performance before
personal difficulties.
Knutzen Starts.
Owen Knutxen, who leaves for
the army air corps Thursday, will
start tonight at forward. Maxie
Young will serve as game captain.
Probable lineups:
POS NEBRASKA K-STATE

Faces Swim Squad
AMES. Ia., Feb. 16. Michigan
State, favored to swamp the Iowa
State college swimming team here
Friday and Saturday, will have
one familiar figure around the
pool.
Charles McCaffrie, Spartan tank
coach, held the same post at Iowa
State for four years. During that
time he won four straight Big
Six swimming championships.
This will be his first visit to
Ames at the head of an oppos
ing team.
Frosh Satellite
Diminutive Creighton Hale,
frosh star from Hardy, bids fair
to equal Husker Bobby Ginn's
cinder timings. Hale wilt be elig
ible for outdoor competition,
March 1.
BY HENRY FISHBACK.
Kansas State's Wildcat track
and - field force present leading
contender for the Big Six runner
up spike berth behind Missouri
migrate northward Saturday to
test the mettle of Ed Weir's once
trounced Husker herd.
Piloted by a one-man track gang
in piston-legged Al Rues tireless
distance manipulator, the K-State
cindermen rate a point edge over
the Cornhuskers according to com
parative figures. Press dispatches
reveal Missouri crushing the Wild
cats 74 to 30 and the Huskers 70i
to 25 .
Nebraska's Ed Weir had this
light to add on the subject: "The
two squads of cinder cohorts bat
tling Saturday are very apt to be
the same track units fighting it
out at the conference meet for the
runner-up spot."
Rues Potent,
Distance flyer, Rues' early sea
son records stamp him as the top
miler and two-miler of the entire
Big Six sector. Aga inset Missouri
he ripped off a four-lapper in
in the clocking of 4m24.6s and
breezed the two mile in ten min
utes 2m9.9s.
Reis was abetted in the early
season Missouri conquest by quar
termiler Upham who'll clash with
Husker wing-foot Al Brown and
Herreck, a long-striding halfmiler
and a relay team which managed
to clip the Tigers. Weir intimated
last Monday that all might hang
on the relay but expressed opti
mism that the Huskers were equal
ly as proficient in the event when
blessed with the proper coordina
tion. Kimel Tosses. .
Task of scraping up those extra
points for the Wildcats, which will
be a vital one Saturday, falls to
Kimel who tosses the shot out
around the 45 foot mark, Adee a
distance performer, Johns a quar
termiler, and Nelson an 880 yard
and pole vault competitors. All
placed against Missouri early in
the year.
Over underneath east stadium
the drilling continued last night.
The Huskers so far hopelessly
weak in the sprints will be bols
tered by blond-bomber Al Zikmund
antelope flyer from Ord. Weight
oorp of the Nebraskans also will
be strengthened Saturday with Ki
Eisenhart flipping the iron pellet.
