Personal Sketches
University of Kansas Basketball
1938-1939

ALLEN, ROBERT- center or guard- 19 -home, Lawrence; graduate of Lawrence
high school, 1937; coached by Edd Wood. One of the stars of last year's
outstanding freshman team. Youngest son of Coach Forrest C. Allen. Has
been pleying basketball ever since his kindergarten days. A remarkable
ball hardler and all-around player. Likely to hold down the “quarter-
back" position which his brother Milton played in 1955 and 1956. Can
play any position, forward, center or guard, however.

CORLIS, LYMAN- guard- 21 -home, Lawrence; graduate of Topeka high
school, 1935; coached by "Buck" Weaver. A two letter man at forward, he
has been shifted to guard to fill the vacancy left by the graduation of
Fred Pralle, Kansas' all-American guard. Is showing up even better at
guard than he did at forward. A real scoring guard and a fine rebounder
on defense. In the starting lineup a number of times last year.

DURAND, FENLON- guard- 20 -home, Junction City; graduate of Junction
City high school, 1935; played under Coach Henry Shenk, highly success-
ful former Lawrence high school and K.U. star. Durand has lettered the
past two years in basketball and track. Tall and well built.

EBLING, DONALD- forward or center- 20 -home, Lindsborg; graduate of
Lindsborg high school, 1936; prepped by Coach 0.C. Ostenberg. Brother
of Ray Ebling, Kansas' all-American forward who graduated in 1936. The
big surprise of the 1937-38 season. Worked his way up from the third
team to a starring role on the championship quintet. The team's second
high scorer last year. One of the hardest workers on the squad. Is pol-
ishing up his game and should rank with the best this season.

ENGLEMAN, HOWARD- forward- 18 -home, Arkansas City; graduate of Arkansas
City high school, 1937; played under Coach Everett Nicholson. One of

the two scoring sensations on last year's brilliant freshman team. Made
seven field goals in the game with the varsity last year. Was an except-
ional scorer in high school and is looking even better at K.U. Has an
uncanny eye for the basket and unusual ability at worming his way under
the besket for setups.

FLORELL, LOREN- forweard- 21 -home, Topeka; graduate of Topeka high
school, 1935; played under Coach "Buck" Weaver, along with Corlis. At-
tended Washburn College a year after graduating from Topeka high. Then
transferred to K.U. Won a letter last year. The tallest man on the
squad at 6'4", Very impressive in early workouts this season. A remark-
able long shot and cannot be stopped when he is hot.

GOLAY, GEORGE- forward- 20 -home, Warrensburg, Mo.; graduate of Warrens-
burg high school, 1935; coached by "Bud" Kennedy, whose father, Dr. A.R.
Kennedy, was football coach at K.U. from 1904 to 1911. A first string
forward part of the time last year. Has lettered twice, but appears to
have just found himself. A whirlwind in the early practices, Golay may
be the outstanding man on the team this season. His height makes him
dangerous around the basket and his all-around play is much improved.

HARP, RICHARD- guard- 20 ~-home, Kansas City, Kan.; graduate of Rosedale
high school in Kansas City, 1956; coached by Roscoe Brown. On the basis
