Evans hit on one of four acers he threw last year in the game for 19 yards. He carried five times for nine vards.

AHOY MIDDIES!
Head Coach J. V. Sikes is likely to have the same trouble Saturday, Hoag, just back from New York with the 1952 championship basketball team, will hardly be in condition for Saturday's football battle.

ALONG THE JAYHAWKER trail
By JOHN HERRINGTON Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Let 'em say what they will about Phog Allen and his vociferous outbreaks, we're going to listen when the good doctor talks and give some thought to what he says.
PHOG
They would have much preferred Cliff Ogden,
who worked every Kansas game during the NCAA tournament and the first Olympic trials game in Kansas City with Southwest Missouri State of Springfield.
Eastern papers are the latest—and probably the oldest—objectors to Dr. Allen's actions. They started taking jabs when the KU coach insisted on a Midwestern referee for the Olympic trials in New York. One writer referred to Kansas as the team which brought its own referee.
Now, we repeat, who would you leave off the team? It's hard even to think of asking any of the five seniors to stay home. So that leaves Charlie Hoag and Dean Kelley. Ridiculous!
Though Ronnie Gibbs did a great job in the games, it could hardly be said that he is "Kansas" . . . own referee." Plenty of Jayhawkers were displeased when Gibbs was selected to go to New York.
Eastern sportswriters took some more literary pokes at Dr. Allen when he refused to give up two spots on the Olympic team. It seems that the boys back East wanted to insure a berth on the team for LaSalle's Tom Gola and, possibly, St. John's Bob Zawoluk.
Granted, Gola and Zawoluk might add scoring power to the Olympic team. But what two Jayhawkers would the doctor leave off?
The giant Jayhawker center said he is definitely not going professional. There is a good chance he may play AAU ball—probably with the Phillips 66 Oilers.
The pros are after Clyde and he's still saying, "no."
"I believe there's more future in AAU ball—and the job that goes with it." Clyde said.
Lovellette has reportedly been offered as much as $15,000 per year to play with the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons.
