DILL, Director a HORACE MASON, Sports Editor Sports News For Immediate Release LAWRENCE, 7 Nov. ----A basketball doubleheader at Law- rence Saturday night will pit the Kansas Jayhawks against Warrensburg Teachers and the K.U. freshmen against an all-star alumni team. Warrensburg, Kansss' first outside opponent of the season, should test Dr. F.C. Allen's team thoroughly. The Mules possessed one of the best, if not the best, small college basketball team in the country last year and expect to have another crack quintet this winter. Warrensburg won the interdollegiate tournament at Kansas Qity last March and showed up very well in the National A.A.U. tournament | at Denver. Returning from that team are two reguiars, Al Schrik, 6'35", 195 pound forward, and James Gibbs, 6'4", 200 pound guard, Gibbs has been shifted to center this year and is running wild there. The past four years, in 134 games, the Mules averaged more than a point a minute. This year Warrensburg has a new coach, Tcm Scott, a graduate of Pittsburg Teachers and a former member of the Wichita Henry's. He came to Warrensburg from Morehead, Minn. Teachers College. Twenty-five years ago Dr. Allen, present Jayhawk coach, was the Warrensburg basketball mentor and was getting off to a good start on the most successful perios in Mule cage history. Dr. Allen coacned at Warrensburg from 1913 through 1919 and the Mules won the conference basketball championship every one of the seven years he coached there. George Golay, big senior Kansas forward, is from Warrensburg and thereby hangs a tale. Shortly after George was born, his mother called Dr. Allen and told him that she had a basketball player for-him and that some day she was going to send George to him. | : About two years later Dr. Allen resigned his position as coach at Warrensburg and came to the University of Kansas, but Georges mother never forgot what she had told Dr. Allen. Consequently when Golay graduated from Warrensburg high in 1935, he headed for Lawrence and matriculated at the University that fall. In high school he was an all-state center and as a Jayhawk cager he has born out the promise he showed in high school. This year he is expected to be Kansas' leading scorer. Golay is 6 feet 3 inches tall. HMM A A 38 d spt UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ai LAWRENCE, KANSAS K.U. NEWS BUREAU W. A.

Arkansas City Lawrence Williamstown Pretty Prairie The Jayhawk Coach Dr. Forrest C. Allen Twenty-two conference championships in 28 years of coaching is the record of Dr. Forrest C. Allen, basketball coach at the Univer- sity of Kansas. He is the dean of basketball coaches in the United States, having been in the coaching game since 1908. Dr. Allen played his high school basketball at Independence, Mo. and it was there that he first met Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball, and coach at Kansas then. In 1904 Dr. Allen entered the University of Kansas. During his college career, he lettered in basketball in 1905, 1906 and 1907 and in baseball in 1906 and 1907. The following year, 1908, saw Dr. Allen off to a successful start as a coach, with a championship basketball team at KeU. His sec- ond Jayhawk team "made even a better record in winning another champion- ship the next year,marking up ten conference victories to two defeats. The same season, Dr. Allen was coaching the Haskell Indian "National Aboriginal" team which won 19 of 24 games and the cage team of Baker University, 20 miles away. This concluded Dr. Allen's coaching efforts for three years, . while he pursued the study of medicine. In 1912 he became coach of all sports at Missouri State Teachers College at Warrensburg and his ser- vice as a coach has been continuous from that date. In his frst year at Warrensburg, Dr. Allen's football, bas- Ketball and baseball teams were undefeated and the basketball team started a series of championships which was unbroken during his seven years there. In the fall of 1919 he became director of athletics at the University of Kansas, and before the basketball season was over was coaching that sport. Missouri was dominant in basketball at that time, but by 1922 the youthful Jayhawk mentor had brought Kansas up to a tie with the Tigers, each team losing a single game of the 16-game confer- ence schedule. The remaining six seasons of the old Missouri Valley conf- erence yielded Kansas five championships, the one on 1923 without a defeat. This season was notable, aiso, as being in the midst of a winning streak of 34 consecutive conference games, ended, finally by Oklahoma, which in 1928 moved in championship position. Oklahoma carried over its winning ways into the Big Six con- ference and held the leadership in 1929; Missouri won the next year; then Kansas, under Dr. Allen, swept the next four years. The 19355 championship went to Iowa State, coached by Louis Menze, a pupil of Dr. Allen's at Warrensburg. In 1936 the Jayhawks blazed through their regular schedule without defeat, winning eighteen consecutive games. In the regional Olympic tryouts Kansas defeated Washburn and Oklahoma A. & M. to qual- ify for the semi-final eliminations. In that series of games the Jayhawks played Utah State and won the first game, but at a great cost. Francis Keppelman, all-con- ference guard, suffered a deep cut across his knee, when he ran into a wire supporting one of the goals and was lost to the team. Without him Kansas could not keep pace with the sensationally shooting Utah State. In 1957 Kansas and Nebraska tied for the championship and last year the Jayhawks were undisputed champions. Dr. F.C.

One of the stars of last year's outstanding freshman team. Youngest son of Coach Forrest C. Allen. Has been playing basxetball 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 1936. 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 0.0. 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- {onal scorer in high school and is looking even better at K.U. Has an uncanny eye for the basket and unusuél ability at worming his way under the basket for setups. FLORELL, LOREN- forward- 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 remerk- 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.Re 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, 1936; coached by Roscoe Brown. On the basis of his start last year, Harp should be one of the greatest Kansas guards of all time. As a sophomore he was one of the finest defensive guards in the country and his shooting won him the nickname of "Deadeye Dick". Awarded a place on the second all-conference team last year. Big and fast, he is the ideal guard. Always plays at a terrific pace. JOHNSON, CARL- forward or guard- 20 -home, Kansas City, Mo.; graduate of Northeast high school in Kansas City, 1935; coached by Reeves Peters. Center on the Northeast team which won the state championship in 19350. A first string guard last year until he suffered a recurrence of an old knee injury. Equally good as a forward. A fine rebounder. KAPPELMAN, LESTER- center or guard- 21 -home, Lawrence; graduate of Lawrence high school, 1935; coached by Edd Wood. Brother of Francis Kappelman, who starred on three Kansas basketball teams, finishing up in 1936. A fine ball hnadler. Has yet to miss a free throw while play- ing at K.U. Shortstop on the baseball team. KLINE, JOHN- forward- 19 -home, Hutchinson; graduate of Hutchinson high school, 1936; prepped by Coach "Chop" Cairns. Attended Hutchinson Jun- ior College a year after graduating from Hutchinson high. A rangy boy who is valuable for his rebounding ability. Good around the basket and a sophomore of considerable promise. A regular on the freshman team, MESSNER, KENNETH- guard or center- 19 -home, Arkansas City; graduate of Arkansas Céty high school, 1937; played under Coach Everett Nicholson. A guard on the first freshman team last year. A high class defensive guard and a good long shot. Played center in high school. MILLER, RALPH- guard- 19 -home, Chanute; graduete of Chanute high school, 1937; played under coaches Dale Skelton and Tony Lockyear. Av- eraged more than 19 points a game during his three years of high school basketball. Probably lost for the season, due to a knee injury. NEES, WAYNE- guard- 24 -home, Brazil, Ind.; graduate of Brazil high school; coached by Harold Wheeler. Lettered last year in basketball and track and also was a member of the football squad. A burly guard who is rugged on defense and a good long shot on offense. REID, BRUCE- forward~- 20 -home, Arkansas City; graduate of Arkansas City high school, 1936; prepped by Coach Everett Nicholson. A "come through" player who pleys his best basketball when the chips are down. An exceptionally smooth passer and ball handler. In the starting lineup for several games at the end of the season last year. Pretty accurate on Ray Ebling's old "scoop shot". VORAN, BRUCE- center or guard- 20 -home, Pretty Prairie; graduate of Pretty Prairie high school, 1936; played under Coach Walter Graber. Captain of the Pretty Prairie team that won the state Class B champion- ship in 1936. Kept out of action last year by a burn. In good shape again now and making an impression with his smooth ball handling.
