IOWA STATE (11-141 Don Smith. 6-7. was leading rebounder and No. 4 scorer as soph. As junior and fully healthy, he could be the best player.

John Mc- Goniglc. 6-2. is adequate at guard. At forwards are vets. 6-9 Raul Duarte, who needs to be more aggressive, and 6-4 Dave Fleming.

Rookies who will help are 6-2 Dave Hartman. 5-10 Tom Goodman. 6-1 Jim Hamberlin. 6-5 Tom Kraemer. A couple of rookies must come through to lift the Cyclones near top.
