LAMBERT MUST REBUILD TEAM Only Two Lettermen Remain As Nucleus For Purdue Quintet Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 4. — (Special)—Lack of height of the squad a» a whole, coupled with the loss of a great group of outstanding stars front last year's co-champion ship quintet. Is providing a real problem for Coach Ward Lambert of Purdue as he fashions the Boilermakers' 1935-36 hardwood coin binatton. Although the Boilermakers, who; have won or shared in eight < hantpionehips in the past fifteen years, have come to be recognized as almost perennial title contend ' era. seldom have they experienced I as heavy material losses In n single season as this year, and whether ' Purdue can hope to continue its victory pace is apt to hinge on the' development of the sophomore crop ' of net aspirants. last year's co-captalus. Norman Cottom. all-American forward, and Ed Shaver, brilliant back guard. \ headline the list of losses, while ■ the tragic death during the past ■ summer of Clifford Baumbach, an , outstanding prospect at back guard, and the failure to return to school of Bob White, regular floor; guard, has added materially to Lambert's woes. Three other lettermen who saw frequent action last season, Vernon "Beany" Craig, : slight forward, and Charles Meade .and Charles Murray, guards, are also among the missing. Lambert's rebuilding problems are aggravated by the severity of the pre-conference schedule, which will demand a finished brand of basketball from the start if the Boilermakers can hope to make a strong showing for the season as a whole. Opening against Western State here Monday night, the Boilermakers, who handed DePaul its lone defeat of the season last year, will play a return game with the flashy Windy City crew in the

I Among the five hold-over major i I lettermen from last year's combination, Boh Kessler, forward and ■ captain who was virtually a unani-j mous choice ft>r all-American hou- , 1 ors last season, is a standout.

Two local pro;, duct sophomores. John Sines aud I Jewell Young, who seein well adapted to Lambert's type of speed : ; game, are among the leading can-; didates for the assignment as Kessler's running mate at forward. The other forward possibilities in- : elude John Bruce, a minor letter- ■ man. and a trio of sophomores. Ed- I win Howard. Vincent Holloway,' and Ercell Cummins. At center, big aim Seward, who towers above the rest of the comparatively "midget" squad, will be | given able assistance by Ed Elliott, another major letterman. while | Carrol Mangas, sophomore possibility, looks like the best bet among the newcomers. Lambert's main remodeling task ' will corne at the guards, for a I clean sweep has been made of all of last year's regulars. Glen Downey and Austin Lambert, erst-,

I while forwards and major letter ijieu, have been shifted to the guard posts, making it evident that Lambert hopes to overcome the lack of height of the squad with a well balanced offensive speed game Hob Smith, another forward [has also been shifted to guard, |wh."fe the leading sophomore possibilities include Paul Malaska, Charles Budd, Don Powell and Andrew Grant. o SELECT TEAMS AT SUGAR BOWL Louisiana State, Texas Christian U.
