11 Mareh, 1946 High School | Great Bend, Kansas br. F.C. Allen Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: , Enelosed I am sending you a paper which gives a rather compre- hensive accoUnt of the regional basketball tournament which was held here in Great Bend this past week. Great Bend upset the dope bucke by winning the "AA" bracket and beat two highly rated clubs in doing go. On the back page of this sheetrare the all-star selections of a local sports writer. IT don't agree with him in every case, but he has included most of the good boys somewhere. I am taking the lib- erty. of sending you this paper and marking the boys I think are pot- ential college caliber. TI tried to give consideration to size and competitiveness, plus the consideration of playing against compe- tition which in many cases was inferior to their own ability. I certainly wish you nothing but the very best in the game With the Oklahoma Aggies. T hope that they go back to the foot- hills convinced that this year is strictly Kansas. I hope that you are able to see some of these boys in the state tournaments throughout the state and are able to contact them in a satisfactory way. With kindest regards as always, I an, Appreciatively yours, Joak/ Gerald K.

THE HERALD’S BOX SCORING As you will notice, The Herald’s. method of publishing box scores is much more com- plete than the ordinary method. The player’s number is given first, then his last name, with © initial or first name if there are other players with the same last name, and the posi- tion played: forward, f; center, c; guard, g. The five columns of figures are as follows: G—Field goals made. Fit—Free throws made. F—Fouls committed. Mg—fField goals missed, Mift—Free throws missed. To compute the total score made by any player or team, simply multiply Gx2 and Ftxl, and add together. To compute the percentage of attempted field goals made by any player or team, divide G by the total of G plus Mg. To compute the percentage of attempted free throws made by any player or team, divide Ft by the total of Ft plus Mft. In the box scores as publish- ed by The Herald, substitutes’ names appear in the order that they first entered the game, re- gardless of the position played. The first five names are start- ers, sixth name the first sub- stitute, ete. Wednesday—A SURPRISED? Hoisington 50 pe 29 @Hoisington’s Cardinals, picked by many basketball observers to battle it out with Wamego for the state Class A championship, easily won their opener Wednes- day night 50 to 29 from Larned, doormat of the Southwest Kansas League. Dean Streck, A. C. Ford and Bill Boldenow led the basket bar- rage, convincing a few _ skeptics that Hoisington isn’t a one-man team. Big Rick Harman, 6-foot-4 center, averaged 21.7 points per game to lead the Central Prairie League; but he has some team- mates who bear plenty of- watch- ing too.

Wendell White, shifty forward for the Rice countians, was high scorer with 14, and Stalcup, be- spectacled center scored 11 for the Stafford county team. Hudson took an early lead and held it through the first quarter. Little River forged into the second frame, holding it through the third, but the Wildcats tied it up as the quarter ended at 22-all, and again, late in the final quarter at 30-30. Little River had what it took in the clutch, however, and got a free throw to give them a one-point lead they nursed throughout, scoring a setup when Hudson weakened their defense to attempt to get the ball.
