B. H. Born Shows Promise As Center
By CHUCK MORELOCK
Kansan Assistant Snorts Editor
Filling the shoes of all-American Clyde Lovellette is a tremendous task, but B. H. Born, 6 foot 9 inch Kansas center, has the potential to match some of the Terre Haute Terror's scoring records and could be just as effective in all-around floor play.
It is doubtful that Born can shatter as many scoring marks as the great Lovellette, who was one in a million, but the big Medicine Lodge junior has the equipment to provide the difference between a first and second division finish for the green Kansas team.
Born entered the University in September, 1950 after being wooped by about 40 schools bidding for his basketball services. He was the Lovellette of Kansas high school basketball in the 1949-50 season and had a 25 point average in Southern Kansas league competition. He set records in the Dodge City Invitational and the state Class A tournaments by hitting for 87 points in 3 games and 111 in 4.
Basketball scouts camped on his doorstep following his graduation and Born said that he narrowed his choices down to St. Louis, Bradley, and KU before finally deciding on Mt. Oread.
He did not play with the freshman cage squad at the University

but was shoved up to the varsity immediately and scrummaged with the team throughout the 1950-51 campaign. He broke into most of the Jayhawkers games last season but played briefly since Lovellette was smashing all Big Seven and national scoring averages.
Born showed sparks of basketball greatness, particularly in passing and ball-handling, and played his best game in the crucial K-State contest last March which decided the Big Seven championship.
He and Larry Davenport made the trip to Helsinki this summer with the Olympic basketball team, but did not play. Born had previously logged some post-season time by playing briefly in the KU-Peoria Caterpillar exhibition series in Hutchinson in June.
Born started the 1952-53 season in fine fashion by hitting 13 points against Tulane at New Orleans. He played aggressive ball and showed promise of developing 'into a top-notch center and a more than adequate replacement for the departed Lovellette.
The 20-year-old education major said that the present Kansas team is young, fast, and will "run" most of the time. He listed Kansas State as the Jayhawks toughest opponent this year and said that Kansas chances for a winning season "will denote on hustle."
There is a definite possibility that Born, no matter how far he progresses, may be hampered in his bid to achieve national and conference fame because of the tremendous marks set by Lovellette. A 21 or 22 point output for Lovellette was only so-so to him and a 28 point barrage was merely average. The average college center would be considered to have had a hot night if he scored 15 tallies.

Thus, Born may be forced to play in the shadows of Lovellette's reputation this season and possibly in 1953-54. However, continued improvement by Born easily could place him among the elite in conference and midwestern cage centers.
Kansas fans hope that Born, as well as the other members of the green Jayhawker team, can develop into all-American prospects—they would enjoy another 3 a.m. rally.

Reich Wins Sixth In Punt Returns
Gil Reich, defensive standout for the Kansas football team, finished sixth in the nation in punt return vardage in figures out today.
Reich, the Steelton, Pa. all-American, returned 19 punts for 327 yards. His average of 17.2 yards a return was the best of all the top 10 punt returners in the country. Horton Nesrsta of Rice won the punt return contest romping 536 yards with 44 punts. His average was only 12.2, however.
In 1951, 9,470 pedestrians were killed in U.S. traffic accidents.
