Capt. Dallas Dobbs Is Top Scoring Guard
The highest scoring guard in Kansas history—that's team captain Dallas Dobbs, 5-foot 11-inch senior from Bartlesville, Okla. Dobbs, better known as "Woody" by his teammates, is a starter on the varsity basketball team for the third year.
Dobbs twice has been selected on the all-Big Seven team. However Coach Phog Allen says he is playing a greatly-improved game this year, both offensively and defensively.
"He has come into his own as a leader this year." Coach Allen said. "Always a fine floor man and excellent shot, his leadership and fine defensive play have keynoted his performances so far this year."
Dobbs has

scored 42 points in the games the season, an average of 16 game. His 26 points against Wisconsin sparked KU's 74 to 65 victory.
Dallas thinks Kansas has a good chance to win the conference championship this year.
"Missouri, after beating Illinois, must be regarded as one of the country's top teams. Colorado should also have a fine team this year, but with normal improvement, we should give them a battle," he said.
The Bartlesville senior called Wisconsin a good team.
"They were thrown of balance by our fast break during the first half, but came back strong the second half."
Dobbs had a brilliant high school career at Bartlesville. He was selected all-state in both basketball and football, and also was a pitcher on the baseball squad. He received mention on the all-American basketball team as a senior.
To show his versatility, Dobbs bagged the intramural golf championship last spring. In addition to his sports prowess, he also plays the piano.
Dallas is a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Being a member of Air Force ROTC, he is slated to serve two years on active duty after graduation next spring. He is interested in a professional basketball career after his military service.
Aggie On Olympic Staff
Ralph Higgins, Oklahoma A&M college track coach for 20 years, became the fifth A&M man to be assigned to a U.S. Olympic staff position with his appointment recently to the 1956 American track and field managerial staff.
Jack Froistad of Colorado fouled out in 43 seconds in a game against Iowa State in the Big Seven preseason basketball tournament in 1950.

Feller Suggests Vote
NEW YORK —(U.P.)-Bob Feller, who is doing most of his pitching now on behalf of his fellow major league players, declared today that they should have a voice in the election of a baseball commissioner.
Score Chosen Rookie Of Year
NEW YORK (U.P) Herb Score, who set an all-time strikeout record in his first season with the Cleveland Indians, was named American League "Rookie of the Year" today by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
The 22-year-old southpaw from Rosedale, N.Y., won the eighth annual award by receiving 18 of the 24 votes cast by the writers' special committee. Shortstop Billy Klaus of the Boston Red Sox received five votes and teammate Norm Zauchin one.
One of the most highly-touched rookies of all time, Score lived up to his advance notices with a spectacular campaign during which he struck out 245 batters in 227 innings and compiled a 16-10 won-and-lost record.
His strikeout total surpassed the previous major league mark of 227 strikeouts in a rookie season set by Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1911.
Score also pitched a one-hitter against the Baltimore Orioles on July 30, hurled a two-hitter and three hitters.
Clyde Lovellel of Kansas holds the all-time scoring record in the Big Seven pre-season basketball tournament with 222 points in nine games, an average of nearly 25 points per game.

Ye Olde Yuletide Message From Leonard's
'Twas the night 'fore vacation, And all through the Lodge, Not a car had been serviced, Not even Frank's Dodge.
"My Gosh," shrieked Joe Smith As he started to dart, "With that worn-out battery My car'll never start!"
"A grease job I've neglected," Another chimed in, "The way that car squeaks, You'd think it was made out of tin!"
The brothers assembled,
Their plight was the same—
Though their bags were all packed,
Not a safe car could they claim.
And as they sat worrying, Alack and alas, Up drove Mr. Leonard With his Personalized Gas!
"Ho,ho," he chuckled,
As they sprang from their chairs,
"Here's chains for your tires,
And free air for those spares."
"A car that's not serviced Your vacation, could spoil." He laughed, as he sold them gas Batteries and quarts of oil.
The students all cheered,
As he climbed back in his cab,
Yet wondered, as students oft do
"Why must I have that 5 o'clock lab?"
—paid
"Grease jobs and such— with t h a t Yuletide touch!"
