Allen Picks K-State To Win Big 7 Crown
Dr. F. C. Allen, KU basketball coach, today picked Kansas State to win the Big Seven championship and Missouri to be runner up in the conference.
"K-State should take the conference and the NCAA title," Allen said. "However, Missouri might beat them once at Columbia."
The 67-year-old mentor discounted his defending championship team from a chance at the title. "We hope to make a fight out of the season," Allen commented, "but we have no height, and little playing experience."
Alen listed Colorado and Nebraska as other possible conference leaders. "Colorado, especially has real power and the fans are hopeful out there," Allen said.
The dean of American court coaches said the Jayhawks would rely on a press and fast break to rattle opponents. "We got no size to argue with them," Allen said, "and the best we can do is to try to destroy the opponent's balance. Any tall center won't find it easy set against us. We'll be committed to a series of sorties once he gets on the court.
Kansas lost five of its regulars through graduation, including All-American center Clyde Lovellette, and veteran Charlie Hoag appears lost to the team with a knee injury.
Allen said the team was strengthened by five additions from the football squad. "The boys are capable of standing the knocks and are real competitors," Allen stated, "and they may help on rebounds. Games are won off the board."
The Olympic coach will start a relatively inexperienced five against New Orleans. Only senior guard Dean Kelley acted in a starting capacity last season. Other probable starters include: B. H. Born, 6' 0" center from Medicine Lodge, Kan;
Bill Heitholt, guard; Jerry Alberts, forward; and Larry Davenport, forward.
Allen can expect late season help from footballer Gil Reich, a top prospect who will be sidelined for three weeks with a broken finger; and Harold Patterson, All-America junior college center at Garden City, Kan. Conceivably both might take over starting roles later in the season.
Loss of Hoag, sparkplug guard and called the best "sixth man" in collegiate basketball, robbed the team of its court dealer.

Tulsa Leads Pack In All-League Team
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-Tulsa's Howling Golden Hurricane placed six players on the 1952 United Press all-Missouri Valley conference football team today, including its high-scoring pair of ends.
Houston's Cougars, unbeaten in conference play, landed two berths, as did Oklahoma A&M. Detroit picked up a single place in the tough, five-team circuit.
Sports writers, sports broadcasters and coaches took part in the voting. They liked overwhelmingly Gator Bowl-bound ends Willie Roberts and Tom Miner of Tulsa, who have scored 72 points each to lead the valley.
Ted Marcibroda of Detroit did such a great job for the Titans at quarterback that he came close to being a unanimous choice. It was virtually the same story for fullback Howard Waugh of Tulsa. Tulsa, which got off to a bad start and then
finished very strong, also placed halfbacks Ron Morris and Dick Kercher in the all-star backfield.
Tackle J. D. Kimmel of Houston was a heavy favorite. Lewis Zeigler, Oklahoma A&M, won the other tackle berth but he was contested heatedly by such big men as Tulsa's Bob St. Clair and Jim Prewett.

Marien Matuszak of Tulsa found a home at guard, along with Houston's Buddy Gillioz. At center, there was a fine contest between F. A. Dry of Oklahoma A&M and Houston's Jack Chambers.
