TRAVELING TIGER—Bob Schoonmaker, Missouri's versatile halfback, is shown here doing one of the many things he has become noted for during his 3-year stay at Columbia. Besides lettering in football, the 5-11, 188-pound senior has also lettered in basketball and baseball. He is slated to start at right halfback when the Tigers and the Jayhawks clash here Saturday.

Mikan Convinced That Clyde Will Become a Great Star
New York—(U.P.)-Clyde Lovellette, one-time glamor boy of the college courts, hasn't set the National Basketball association on fire but he's convinced George Mikan he'll be one of the game's
"Clyde's got the size and the ability," the towering Mikan said of the man being groomed as his successor on the Minneapolis Lakers. "It's only a matter of time before he's star."
"He has a few things to learn and then he'll be one of the big stars of the league." Mikan added. "He just can't miss in my opinion."
Rival coaches let out a collective groan when it was announced that the 6-foot-9-inch, 245-pound Lovellette had been signed by the Lakers but Clyde has been less than a sensation in Minneapolis for the first 10 games this year.
The latest official N.B.A. figures show that Lovellette, who used to average 22 to 25 points a game as a college star at Kansas, is averaging only 3.9 as a professional. In addition, it whispered that Clyde moves too slowly to be a star in the pro ranks.
"What did they want from the poor guy?" barked Mikan. "It takes a while for a rookie to break into this league. I don't think any other
player ever came into this league with as much pressure on him to make good in a hurry."
Mikan, generally conceded to be the outstanding player in the history of basketball, insisted Lovelettte "has done exactly what the Lakers acquired him to do."
"The idea was to have another big man on the team so that I could give a little rest during the game," Mikan pointed out. "Lovellette's done just that. He's done a good job and he'll get better."
Actually, Lovellette's record isn't as bad as a quick glance would suggest. He's averaged only 12 minutes a game as Mikan's replacement so would figure, on the basis of a full 48 minutes of play, to average about 15 points a game.

New York - (U.P.) Texas and Wisconsin made big advances amid a shakeup of the United Press top 10 football teams today as Notre Dame and Maryland, owning the only spotless major college records, retained the 1-2 rankings.
The defeat of Illinois by Wisconsin gave Michigan State, UCLA, and Oklahoma each an opportunity to move up one notch, filling the place
While Notre Dame and Maryland scored one-sided victories to remain one-two, four teams among last week's top 10 were upset, causing a reshuffling of the teams behind the two leaders. Illinois, Georgia Tech, Baylor, and West Virginia were the teams that lost considerable ground after being beaten.
Tough tests appear in store for both top teams this weekend. The Irish face a traditional jinx rival in Iowa, which moved up to 19th this week; Maryland's opponent is Alabama, which advanced to 12th place.
Second 10 Teams: 11, Rice 45, 12, Alabama 20, 15 (die), Army and Kentucky, 19 each; 17 (die) Ohio State and Duke, 16 (die) Michigan and Southern Methodist, 9 each.

Freshmen Cagers Work Hard For Friday's Varsity Game
By VIC VIOLA
Kansan Sports Writer
Pointing toward their upcoming tilt with the varsity this Friday, 25 freshmen basketball hopefuls are currently working out under freshman coach Dick Harp. The 1953 frush roster boasts 12 cagers who earned all-state recognition in high school.
After spending the first two weeks of practice rounding his crew into shape, Harp and his assistant, Dean Smith, sent the frosh through their first scrimmage session last Friday night. Harp said that he plans to continue the scrimmages through this week in an effort to settle on a starting five to go against the varsity.
Heading the list of all-staters are Gene Elstun and John Parker, the pivot man and play-maker respectively for Shawnee Mission's Class AA 1953 Kansas champs; Harry Jett, high scoring forward who paced Wyandotte high to second place in class AA; Bruce Wenger, one of the state's leading AA scorers with state tourney semi-finalist Salina; Blaine Hollinger, scrappy sparkplug of Rullell's class A titlists, and Allen Hurst, two time all-stater from Augusta.
Dick Reich, brother of former KU football and basketball star Gil Reich, also is working out under Harp. Reich, who was a class AA all-stater at Steelton, Pa., transferred to KU recently and is ineligible for varsity competition this year, but will have two years of eligibility beginning next fall.
Other all-staters include Lee Green and Lew Johnson, a pair of high scoring giants from Argentine in AA; Gary Evans from Yates Center in A; Gary Williamson from Madison in B, and Bob Buell, an AA choice at Berryville Ark., high.
Other candidates for the team include Dave Carpenter, Toneka; Frosty Cox, Wakefield; Martin Hanna. Winfield: Don Heath and Mac Stevenson, Salina; and Jack
Runnels, Lyons. From out of state come Don Caputo, Oak Park, Ill., Ronald Johnston, Sea Cliff, LI, N.Y.; Jim Kerr, Clever, Mo.; Maurice King, R.T. Coles high, Kansas City, Mo.; Pete Meckenstock, Ottawa, Ill.; Jim Cityton, Northeast high, Kansas City, Mo., and Grover Wilcher, Southeast high, Kansas City, Mo.
After the close of the football season, Harp expects also to work with another group composed of freshmen footballers and a group retained from tryouts two weeks ago.
Leading Big Seven rusher at this point in the season is OU's Larry Grigg, who has gained 627 yards on 95 carries. He also is setting the pace in loop scoring with 60 points.
Because of a Big Seven rule prohibiting freshmen games, the only contests for the young Jayhawks will be intra-squad tussles and some B-team competition.
