Magic Number' Puts Dr. Allen More Than 100 Wins Ahead Of His Contemporaries
By JOHN HERRINGTON
A thunderous ovation still rang today in the ears of veteran basket- ball coach Forrest C. Phog Allen whose Kansas Jayhawkers racked up the 700th victory of his 42-year career last night.
All the basketball world felt the number 700 coming up. Word first started when the Jayhawkers were preparing for Nebraska and Allen had number 698.
After Kansas came through with their 90-52 win over the Cornhuskers, the magic number hung like an omen. The 3,500 fans in Hoch auditorium last night realized it. And when the number finally came up, pandemonium broke loose.
Amid the cheering throng of wellwishers who crowded around him, Allen put on what was probably the biggest smile of his 42-year career.
After flashbulbs had stopped popping and crowds had stopped yelling around him the dean of American cage coaches could sit back and realize his accomplishment.
And while the victory over the Oklahoma Aggies was a sweet one for the 66-year old coach, the personal victory Allen had scored didn't enter into his mind.
His 700 victories-record stands out as a target for other basketball coaches to shoot at. Not one of Alen's contemporaries has yet cleared the 600-mark.
"That 700th win didn't enter as a celebration of personal triumph," Dr. Allen said. "I was thinking of the boys and how badly they wanted to beat those Aggies.
"We should have beaten them down there. We really wanted that win"
As for the game itself, there was never any doubt about the outcome. The Jayhawkers jumped to an early lead and lengthened it all the wav.
Today Dr. Allen plans to retire when he is 70 years old. The reason is simply that the University does not provide for retirement until the 70th year.
The question of Dr. Allen's retirement always seems to crop up about the end of the basketball season or when another record is set by a Kansas team.
He has been coaching continuously at the University since 1920. He won the College's three NCAA championships in 1907 and 1989, winning the Missouri Valley championship both years.
In his 41 complete years of coaching, the doctor has gathered 28 championships. In 45 team years—with four games remaining in the 1952 season—he has won 700 games and lost 202 for a .776 percentage.
In his 35 years at Kansas, he has won 520 games and lost 188.
"The boys are in good physical and mental frame to take them as they come," Dr. Allen says. And Missouri comes first.
But the Aggie victory and the 700th win are past. The next natural question would be, "Will we beat Kansas State?"
Dr. Cliver Kamm, research consultant in Detroit, will speak to the University section of the American Chemical society at 7:30 p.m. today in Bailey hall.
Kamm To Address Chemical Society
"One Hundred Years of Research Work on Cholesterol and Related Sterols," will be Dr. Kamm's topic.
Dr. Kamm wrote the first text-book on qualitative chemistry and thus established it as a required part of chemistry education.
He has been a teacher at the Universities of Michigan and Illinois. He organized the research department of Parke-Davis company in Detroit, the first separate research department in the United States.
During World War I, while a student at the University of Illinois, he became one of the leading chemists in the United States who established the fool-proof methods of organic syntheses.

Phog Allen after the Kansas Jayhawks registered a convincing 66-46 victory of the Cowpokes last night.

Journalism Historical Items To Be Given At Dedication
Several important parts of Kansas journalism history will be presented formally to the University Friday morning when dedication ceremonies are held for the new building of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information.
Governor Edward F. Arn and many Kansas editors who were close friends and proteges of the great Emporia editor will be present in the William Allen White Memorial Reading room in the structure which
NICE TRY — Larry Davenport, Kansas freshman ace, goes up in the air in an unsuccessful attempt to block a shot by Chester Reams of Oklahoma A&M in Jayhawkers' 66-48 triumph last night—Kan-
has just been recently remodeled at a cost of $300,000. Dean Burton W. Marvin of the school will preside.
The school will receive an oil portrait that shows Mr. White at his desk at the Emporia Gazette. It is the work of Joseph Hirsch, leading portrait painter of New York: The donor is Harry Scherman of New York, president of the Book-of-the-Month club and for many years a business associate of Mr. White.
Definite word has not yet been received from William L. White, well-known author and son of W. A. White, whether he will be here to present some moments. These will be articles and letters of his father dealing with KU and Kansas journalism.
George Matthew Adams, columnist and head of the George Matthew Adams newspaper syndicate in New York, will be present to present his collection of first editions of William Allen White's books and many other books and pamphlets on journalism.
Another gift is the Albert T. Reid collection of famous cartoons, Reid, a former Leavenworth and Topeka publisher and leading cartoonist in New York for many years, may be present to make the presentation. It consists of at least one original autographed cartoon from nearly every prominent cartoonist in the past half century.
Ferd Voiland, the state printer, is giving KU a 100-year-old Washington hand press, which until recently was used in the state printing plant for making proofs of books. This model, which was probably the finest and most widely used of all hand printing presses, was developed in 1827.
These items, with others already in the school's possession, will be the foundation of what is hoped to become one of the nation's leading collections of the history of journalism.
Abraham Funeral Thursday
Funeral services for Raymond C. Abraham, superintendent of the University postal station, will be 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the Schubert chapel, 1020 New Hampshire. Mr. Abraham died Monday of a heart attack.
