Iowa Cagers Face Heavy Practice Williams Displeased Over Scoring Lapses

He orders intensive practice ahead of the December 30 contest with Marquette and outlines aims to improve scoring balance and free throws. Vic Siegel leads with 46 points, followed by Tommy Lind with 28, as 14 players have scored in five non conference games. The team plans a stretch of workouts and a quick return to needing sharp play for conference opener versus Minnesota January 6 after a trip to Toledo.
