KU Basketball Practice Starts Tomorrow
The KU basketball squad opens official practice tomorrow afternoon, with coach Forrest C. (Phog) Allen expecting a total of nine lettermen to return from last year's squad.
The Jayhawks will have three weeks to prepare for their annual homecoming battle with the freshmen, with the season officially opening. Dec. 5 when the Hawks entertain Northwestern at Allen Field House.
Included on the list of lettermen are a pair of two-time monogram winners in guard Dallas Dobbs and forward Bill Brainard. Dobbs, Brainard Two-Year Men
Dobbs, the slick senior from Bartlesville with the deadly jumpshot, has been a starter for two years. Braumard, a converted center, played behind B. H. Born during his sophomore year in 1953-54, and was moved to forward last year. He started slowly, but came into his own late in the year and became one of the Jayhawks most consistent performers.
Also included in the letterman list are four juniors who drew starting assignments at one time or another last year. This list includes 6-3 forward Gene Elstun, who was a regular all year, and was rated by many observers as the top rookie in the Big Seven.
Another regular starter from last year who returns is 6-6 center Lew Johnson, who developed into one of the top pivot men in the conference towards the last of the season. The husky Johnson, not particularly tall for a center, rammed in 23 points to personally sink Kansas State last year as the Jayhawks dedicated Allen Field House with a victory.
Two Part-Time Starters Back
140 All-Time Starters Back
The Hawks also return a pair of sometimes-starters in 5-11½ guard John Parker and 6-2 forward Maurice King Both showed terrific hustle and rebounding last year, and should be real threats with improved scoring punch this year.
Other returning lettermen include Lee Green, a strapping 6-5 forward, Blaine Hollinger, a speedy 5-10 guard, and Ronnie Johnston, a sturdy 6-1 forward who is a fierce rebounder and defender.
Also on the list are three upperclassmen who did not see enough experience to letter last year. They are Allan Hurst, a 6-4 forward, Harry Jett, a $6^{2}$ forward, and Jim Toot, a 6-6 center.
Junior College Transfers Help
A pair of junior college transfers also may provide help this year. The Javahawkers have added 6-1 guard Eddie Dater from Garden City and 6-6 center Gary Myers from Fort Scott.
Added to this list of experienced performers, the Hawks will be bolstered by a host of promising sopho- up from last year's freshman 1987.
This list includes Mark Boxberger, a 6-1 forward; John Cleveland, a 6-2 guard; Jim Elliott, a 6-2 forward; John Flannagan, a 6-2 guard; Kent Floerke, a 6-3 forward; Bob Lockley, a 6-2 forward; Gary Mowry, a 6-7 center; Bob McMichael, a 6-3 forward, and Wally Strauch, a 6-1 guard.
Strauch is currently performing with Coach Chuck Mather's football squad, and will not report for basketball until after the final football game with Missouri Nov. 19.
The University of North Dakota has had 19 head football coaches during 59 seasons the sport has been played at that school.

Jayhawks Praise Nebraska Ball Control, Backfield
By BOB LYLE
LINCOLN—Kansas probably played its best offensive game of the year Saturday against Nebraska at Lincoln, but it was inability to get the ball away from the Huskers that broke the Jayhawks' back in a 19-14 contest that went to Nebraska.
That's the word from KU coach Chuck Mather, who saw his battered Jayhawks almost topple highly favored Nebraska.
"Nebraska did a tremendous job of holding on to the ball (NU had the ball 76 times to KU's 50—26 more plays) they really kept it away from us the first half—and you just can't do anything if you allow the other team to keep it all the time."
Both coaches and players were in accord with their praise for the Nebraska backfield, led by Willie Greenlaw who put on one of the best ball toting sessions seen at Lincoln in quite a while. The 192 pound junior halfback totaled 141 yards on 24 carries, an average of 5.8 carries per yard. Rex Fischer,
left half added 83 yards to the Nebraska attack.
Laverne Torczon, NU left tackle stood out for the Husker forward wall and the entire backfield added considerably to the NU defense.
George Remsberg, Kansas guard who has been out for several weeks with a fractured calcium deposit of the left leg was back in action Saturday.
The senior guard Saturday showed all of the fight and hustle that brought him a starting position earlier in the season.
Joe Held, a junior from Topeka and normally the Jayhawks fourth string fullback played the whole game Saturday and did a creditable job of it.
Unbeaten List Shrinks
NEW YORK —(U.P.)— Michigan, Maryland, Oklahoma and West Virginia were the only major survivors left today among 37 teams which remained on college football's unbeaten and untied list.
