It was Anderson's first year at Iowa after a spectacular career at Holy Cross. Coaches throughout the country were to pick their own "champion" and they were practically unanimous for Eddie, who got 46 votes. The next four men Carl Snavely of Cornell, Homer Norton of Texas A. and Bob Neyland of Tennessee and Bob Zupke of Illinois got only 21 votes between them.

LONG STREAKS BROKEN The Beaver crowd had a record of 43 consecutive victories on its St. Nicholas Heights' court when Westminster College handed the Beavers a 28-to-24 setback on New Year's Eve, 1934.

They then stretched out 22 more triumphs before St. Francis called a halt last year with a 26-to-24 decision. Since then the Holman lads have added five more wins. The Terriers' conquest last year was the first time that the Brooklynites had defeated the New Yorkers in 18 years of visiting the City College Stronghold.
