By JOHN HERRINGTON Kansan Sports Editor
But that wasn't enough. Sports editors Lynch and Larson of the Milwaukee Journal and Sentinel respectively, took up the song of woe with an effort to get Clyde barred from the U.S. Olympic team, stating that Clyde was a pro.
Their line of reasoning was considered ridiculous by most and was proved ridiculous when the AAU officials said there was nothing to it.
At last Milwaukee can chirp about something besides its beer and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. And everyone's chirping — at least everyone concerned with the professional Milwaukee Hawks.
Dan Ferris, secretary of the AAU, not only said there was no basis to the Lynch-Larson charges, but also stated that "this whole thing looks like a retaliation by the professional group out in Milwaukee who got sore when Lovellette didn't sign a contract with Milwaukee pro team and took a job with the Phillips Oilers, instead. It looks like much ado about nothing."
Then there are some who aren't affiliated with the Hawks getting their two cents' worth into the discussion. But rather than chirping, the boys from Wisconsin are wailing like hoot owls.
Hawk coach Doxie Moore got into the game today. His statements almost brought him up to par with the balefle moanings and oratorical means of Ben Kerner, Russ Lynch and Lloyd Larson.
Kerner, manager of the Hawks,
was the leadoff man for the mournful
manners up Milwaukee way. He
started whining when Clyde Lovellette decided on the AAU Phillips
Oilers rather than the Hawks.
And now, Mr. Moore has joined the team. And his comments about the Phillips Petroleum company paying Clyde's way through college were more ridiculous than the rest—and that's pretty bad.
Who knows? Maybe Sen. McCarthy will accuse Clyde of being a Communist.
Now, it's beginning to look as though it may never end.
Come on fellows, give up. He said he doesn't want to play on your team. Can't you take a hint?
Sure, we know the Hawks didn't do so well on the courts last year. Last place isn't a spot to be envied. But, after all, he said "no" and he means "no," so why don't you take your toys and go home?
Bud Browning Denies Charge
Bud Browning, director of recreation for Phillips Petroleum company, Bartlesville, Okla., "flatly and forcefully" denied today that Phillips had paid Clyde Lovellette's way through the University.
The charges that the Phillips company had financially aided Lovellette's way through college were made in Denver, yesterday, by Doxie Moore, coach of the professional Milwaukee Hawks.
"We have never paid a basketball player's way through school, and furthermore, we never will," Browning said. "I have no idea what prompted this Moore fellow to make such an unfounded statement, either publicly or privately."
"Doxie Moore, the Milwaukee coach, who made this utterly ridiculous statement . . . has absolutely no grounds for such charges," Browning said, "because there are no grounds.
Browning said that "it is a shameful situation when a group of men connected with a professional athletic organization resort to such underhanded and irresponsible tactics in an attempt to besmirch the
character of both an outstanding young man and an industrial firm, simply because Clyde made the decision to enter private industry with Phillips, with the opportunity to build a secure future for himself in the business world.
The Phillips recreation director explained that "naturally, this boy will play basketball with the 66 ers." But he went on to say that more than a hundred former college athletes have played for Phillips.
"I wonder if this Moore fellow realizes that more than 80 per cent of those players are still with Phillips Petroleum company, many of them in top executive positions?"

Double Slam Attempt By Jayhawks at Drake
Kansas distance medley and four-mile relay teams will try for a double grand-slam in the 43rd running of the Drake Relays in Des Moines today and tomorrow.
No team in the history of the three big midwestern track carnivals—the Texas, Kansas and Drake Relays—has accomplished the distance feat. And only two, Butler and Illinois, have won twin slams in any two of the games.
But the Jayhawk foursome will have their hands full at Drake with Indiana and Georgetown in the distance medley. The Georgetown quartets are expected to give Kansas its greatest competition to date.
Illinois won the 440 and four-mile races at all three meets in 1929. Eutler won the college class 880 and mile in 1925.
Kansas tied the Drake four-mile record at the Texas Relays, winning the event in 17:21.2. The Jayhawkers came within 2.2 seconds of the American record in the Kansas games with a 17:18.3 winning time.
In the distance medley, Kansas clocked a 10:06.0 at Austin—within A of a second of the Drake time. The ball turned in a 10:14.5 winning time.
Charles Capozzoli, Joe LaPierre and Tom Vroebehs will be the three mainstays for Georgetown. All have been timed under 4:20. LaPierre had done a 4:10.8 mile.
milers who all come close to the 4:20 mark. Jack Hagan has gone he four quarters in 4:15. Roy Whitman has been clocked under 4:20. And George Brannan and Lowell Zellars have both come close to the 4:20 time.
Dut the Kansans have Herb Semper and Wes Santee, 12:41 and 11:11 at times when the occasion demanded. Art Dalzell and Lloyd Koby run the first two legs of the four-mile.
Captain Bob DeVinney will lead off, for the Jayhawker distance medley team, followed by Dalzell, Semper and Santee.
Another highlight of the program will be the premiere showing of "Championship Basketball at Kansas," a sound film on the past KU court season.
All persons attending the banquet will receive special souvenir programs as keepsakes for the past KU basketball year.
KU Tennis Team DownsWashburn
Charles Crawford, KU tennis ace, kept his undefeated record as he dropped Gene Powell of Washburn yesterday to help the Jayhawkers score a 6-1 victory over the Ichabods.
Both Topekans, Crawford and Powell had met only once before. Powell won that match. But the No. 1 Kansas player evened the score in a close and hard fought match.
Crawford won the first set 6-4 but the second set went to 16 games before Crawford could put on the finishing touches to win 9-7. Powell, No. 1 Washburn player, was twice within two points of winning the second set, but Crawford kept up the pressure to win.
During the four wins and one loss that Kansas has acquired this season, Crawford has not lost a match or even a set.
John Freiburger, No. 2 Kansas player, defeated Phil Blackburn after pulling a surprising comeback. Freiburger dropped the first set love-6, but looked like a different man as he breezed through the final two sets 6-2, 6-2.
Gene Fotopoulos skipped by Larry Ingemason 6-1, 6-1 to score Kansas' third win of the meet. Al Hedstrom had a little trouble as he defeated Neal Gerbeth 6-2, 2-6, 6-3.
The only Kansas loss came when Charles Steele of the Ichabod team defeated Hal Titus 6-3, 6-4.
The doubles matches were close, but the Jayhawkers had the needed extra spark to sweep the doubles and make the meet score 6-1.
Crawford and Fotopoulos teamed to defeat Powell and Blackburn 6-2, 11-9. Hedstrom and Freiburger dropped the first set to Ingemason and Siecle but surged back to win 1-6, 6-1, 6-4.
Kansas will be aiming for its third conference win today against the Missouri Tigers at Columbia.
