3 Kansans Placed On UP Big 7 Club
The Kansas Big Seven champion basketball team placed two men on the United Press all-Big Seven basketball team named today.
B. H, Born, regular Jayhawker center, anil diminutive Allen Kelley both won guard positions on the first five.
One other Kansan, captain Dean Kelley, gained a second team spot. Also named to the first five were Art Bunte, Colorado, and Del Dierckes, Iowa State, at forwards, and Dick Knostman, Kansas-State, at center. Four of the five are over 6 feet 4 inches tall, but Al Kelley stands just 5-11. Born is the tallest, standing at 6 foot 9 inches.
Only two of the five are seniors and one is just a sophomore. Knostman and Diercks have played their last Big Seven ball, but Born and Kelley have a year left and Bunte still has two years to go.
Kansan want-ads bring results.
It's the size of the FIGHT in the man!
That's right! In the U. S. Air Force, it's not the size of the man in the fight—it's the size of the FIGHT IN THE MAN! And Aviation Cadets must have plenty of it. For Cadet training is rugged. If you're good enough . . . tough enough . . . smart enough . . . if you can take it while you're learning to dish it out, you can have one of the most fascinating careers in the world. You'll be equipped to fly the latest, hottest planes. You'll be prepared to take your position as an executive, both in military and commercial aviation as well as in industry. And while you'rehelping yourself you'll be helping your country.
WIN YOUR WINGS! It takes little over a year to win your wings as a Pilot or Aircraft Observer (Navigator, Bombardier, RadarOperator or Aircraft Performance Engineer). But at the end of your training you graduate as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force, with pay of $5,300.00 a year.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE? To qualify as an Aviation Cadet, you must have completed at least two years of college. This is a minimum requirement—it's best if you stay in school and graduate. In addition, you must be between 19 and $26\frac{1}{2}$ years, unmarried, and in good physical condition.
New Aviation Cadet Training Classes Begin Every Few Weeks!
HERE'S WHAT TO DO:
