THE FRESHMAN CROP

A father and son combination is holding the
coaching reins in basketball at the University of
Kansas this year. Doctor Forrest C. Allen goes into
his 25th year as head varsity coach at the Univer-
sity, as his oldest son, Milton ‘‘Mitt’” Allen, makes
his debut in coaching circles as freshman mentor.

“Mitt”, who returned to the University last year
to work toward a law degree, is serving as fresh-
man coach without remuneration. He starred on
the Jayhawk basketball teams of 1935 and 1936.

Last year’s crack freshman team was labelled
by Doctor Allen as possibly the finest in the
school’s history. While ‘“Mitt’’ does not regard his
charges of the present campaign that highly, he
does believe that the freshman squad is almost as
well-balanced as the yearling squad of last year.

Top prospects in the workouts to date have
been Bill Brill, a guard, and Otto Schnellbacher,
forward. Brill played on the same high school
team with Ray Evans at Wyandotte high in Kan-
sas City, Kan., and was rated as an exceptional
Prospect.

Schnellbacher, who hails from Sublette, was
probably the most sensational scorer ever seen in
the western part of the state. His average last
year was around 20 points a game.

Brill and Schnellbacher carry only a slim edge
over some of the other yearlings, however, with
a number of fine prospects headed for the varsity.

Several of the freshmen cagers opposed each
other in state championship games last winter.
Kenny Thompson, fiery little ‘‘quarterback’’, and
Walter Verbanic, guard, played on the Wyandotte
high team which defeated Salina in the final game
of the Class AA tournament, John Short, yearling
guard, was a member of the Salina team.

Captain of the Lyons high team which won the
Class A tournament was Don Maison, a forward.
He is now a teammate of Bill Forsyth, star of the
Medicine Lodge team, which bowed to Lyons.

Kansas City, Kan., has the largest representa-
tion of any town on the freshman roster, with
Brill, Thompson, Verbanic, Ed. Sayers, Larry Stream
and Paul Carpenter.

Other men on the yearling squad, in addition to
those named above are Harold McSpadden, El-
Dorado; Herb Kaufman, Topeka; Stan Hansen,
Floyd McHenry and Bill Bauer, Kansas City, Mo.;
Warren Jacks, Coats; Bob Groom, Wichita; Armand
Dixon and Lewis Musick, Hermosa Beach, Calif.;
Bob Corder, Welda; Robert Heaston, Baldwin; and
Bob Siddons, Platte, S. Dak.
