PROBABLE STARTERS
FRESHMEN
Ht. Pos. Ht.
6-0 Lavannes Squires F Bill Brainard 6-3
6-2 Larry Davenport F Len Martin 6-2
6-8 B. H. Born C Jim Toft 6-6
5-11 Dean Kelley G Dallas Dobbs 6-0
6-3½ Bill Heitholt G Dan Robinson 6-0
PLACE: Hoch Auditorium. TIME: 7:15 p.m.
Kansas basketball coach F. C. "Phog" Allen will unveil the 1952-53 edition of the KU cage book today when he sends his vixery five against Dick Harp's freshmen at 7:15 p.m. in Hoch auditorium as part of the pre-Homecoming activities.
It will be the first outing for the varsity since losing five top players off last year's NCAA and Olympic championship squad. Gone are Bill Lienhard, John Keller, Clyde Lovellette, Bob Kenney and Bill Hougland.
Dr. Allen will have only one returning starter in a group of five returning lettermen available for the clash. A sixth monogram winner Charlie Hoag, is still with the football team.
That one returning regular will be Dean Kelley, an all-NCAA tournament selection last season and this year's captain. Allen can also call on lettermen, Bill Heitolt, Dean Smith, Larry Davenport and B. H. Born.
Kelley will be the only senior on the starting varsity lineup that is nearly as young as the freshmen. Two sophomores and two juniors will man the other starting posts. Lavannes Squires, a junior, and sophomore Davenport are scheduled to open at the forwards for the varsity with Born, a junior, getting the center nod. Heitholt, another sophomore, will team with Kelley at guard.
Harp will open with a lineup of stars that will be nearly equal in
height to the varsity, although not in experience.
Opening at one forward slot will be Bill Brainard, Newton, an all-conference and all-state selection last year who averaged 26 points a game for the state champions. At Utah, the team led by leading scorer last year, Len Martin of Ottawa, an all-conference selection in the Northeast Kansas league.
The center post will be held by big Jim Toft, a 6 foot, 6 inch lad from grand island, Neb. who placed on cornhusker state squads in the Cornhusker state.
At one guard will be Dallas Dobbs, Bartlesville, Okla., an all-state and conference player. The other guard will be Dan Robinson, Topeka, where he co-captained the Trojans last year.
Proceeds of the game will go to the Basketball Hall of Fame fund for the proposed shrine at Springfield, Mass. Kansas will be the first school in the area to contribute to the plan.
Injuries May Bench 3 For Nebraska Game
Charlie Hoag, stellar Jayhawker halfback, Galen Fess, star fullback, and Morris Kay, first string end, are not expected to be able to play in Saturday's Homecoming game against Nebraska.
Kay, who was hospitalized with polio, had been expected to start Saturday, but the doctors have said no. Fiss, who has a dislocated shoulder, also is on the very doubtful list.
Charlie Hoag, a strong contender for all-American honors, has a badly sprained knee, and is not expected to be ready by game time.

So long!
It was just some seven weeks and 38 issues ago that we first said "Hello!" Now it appears that we've reached the end of the "Trail."
We've watched the Jayhawkers fight hard through many a football game. They have lost only one, but in our mind they are the winners. Kansas has a great team this season. That Oklahoma has a greater one can be our only reply.
The Kansas team was up for Sooners, and the Jayhawkers played one of their best games of the season. But the magic deftness of Sooner quarterback Eddie Crowder was too much. In our estimation, Crowder is one of, if not the greatest, quarterback in the nation and should receive all-American honors.
The Kansas team traveled to Dallas one Saturday under a great disadvantage. On the Lone Star state's soil anything is difficult, but the Jayhawkers came through in fine style to stop the SMU Mustangs 26-0. It was the Mustangs' worst defeat in years.
The SMU game gave the Jayhawkers a touch of misery, though Ironical as it was, Galen Fiss dislocated his shoulder on the last play of the game. The week before, John Konek re-injured a bad knee in the Oklahoma game.
Following the SMU clash, Charlie Hoag, Kansas' all-American candidate, severely sprained a knee as he was shoved out of bounds as he was touchdown bound in the K-State game. Paul Leoni, right end who has made sensational showings in the last two games, was not out for practice Thursday because it was thought that he had the flu.
And with the tough Homecoming game Saturday against Nebraska, Kansas is in its worst condition this year because of injuries. The Cornhuskers play a great defensive game, and the Jayhawker offense may be bogged down because of the injuries.
Charlie Hoag may not see any action against the Cornhuskers. If he does play, it will be for only a limited time. Galen Fiss is definitely out.
OU,USC,Purdue,Duke Favored in Top 4 Tilts
New York—(U.P.)-Oklahoma, Southern California, Duke and Purdue were made the favorites today to win four of the top attractions on Saturday's college football program.
Oklahoma, the nation's fifth-ranked team, was a 13-point choice over Notre Dame in their intersectional clash at South Bend, Ind., which will be viewed by a coast-to-coast television audience. The Sooners have won five straight since tied by Colorado in their season opener; the Irish have lost one and tied one in six games.
On the West Coast, Southern California, one of the five unbeaten and untied teams in the country, was established only a seven-point favorite over twice-beaten Stanford in their clash at Stanford, Calif. Southern California, ranked sixth nationally and tied with UCLA for the Pacific Coast conference lead, must beat the Indians to keep alive its Rose Bowl hopes.
Duke, which suffered its first setback of the season last week, was a 13-point pick over Navy at Durham, N.C., and Purdue was 13 over Minnesota in a key Big Ten battle at Minneapolis. Purdue, ranked ninth in the nation, is the conference leader, although Minnesota also

has a chance for the title and the Rose, Bowl.
In other major games involving bowl hopefuls, Texas, the Southwest conference pace-setter was a seven-point favorite over Baylor at Waco Texas; Penn State was six over Syracuse in one of the East's best games at Syracuse, N.Y., while unbeaten and untied Georgia Tech, already chosen for the Sugar Bowl, was 20 over Army at Atlanta, Ga.
East-Columbia six over Dartmouth; Boston 13 over Temple; Holy Cross 14 over Colgate; Princeton 20 over Harvard.
Midwest—Missouri six over Colorado; Toledo seven over Bradley; Illinois 10 over Iowa; Wisconsin 14 over Northwestern; KANSAS 14 over Nebraska; Cincinnati 20 Ohio.
