Veenker Seeks “Ifs” As Iowa State Faces 1936 Season
Iowa State coach George Veenker outlines three key “ifs” for the Cyclones. If Neal reproduces 1934 form, if Elwin Snell stays strong, and if Darrell Johnson plays up to potential, the team could win several games. Kicking and passing remain major concerns with Poole sidelined by a summer school injury, while Gustine and Rush anchor the ends and centers Ishinger and Anderson compete at the middle. The schedule opens September 6 with Iowa State Teachers at Ames and includes Nebraska, Kansas, Cornhuskers, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Drake through November.

Mystery over 125000 fish missing from city lagoon
Hutchinson officials probe the disappearance of 125000 fish used to stock the park lagoon.
