Along the JAYHAWKER trail
BY ALAN MARSHALL
Daily Kansas Sports Editor
Keith "Dobby" Lambert, new assistant basketball coach at Kansas State, will need little indoctration before he knows what the word "Jayhawker" means to Wildcat rooters. His job at Manhattan is merely a continuation of something he failed to do back in 1940 when he was a star forward on the late Sam Berry's University of Southern California basketball team.-Beat Kansas!
U. S.C. met Kansas in the finals of the 1940 Western N.C.A.A. tourney in Kansas City. It was a tight game all the way, but Kansas, coached by "Phog" Allen, won a narrow 44 to 43 victory, thus earning a chance at the national title, which they lost to Indiana 60 to 42.
KEITH LAMBERT Kansas State
Thus it is that Lambert is no newcomer to old-time Jayhawkers. Doc Allen knows him and so does Dick Harp, who is now freshman cage coach at the University. Harp was co-captain of the 1940 team that squeaked past Lambert and his teammates.
Lambert moves to Aggieland after a phenomenal five year record at Anderson, Ind., high school. His basketball team won second place in the Indiana state tournament in 1948 which is the final round of competition between more than 700 teams.
Anderson cagers, under Lambert's tutelage, won three additional
vercoral and sectional titles.
Only time will tell if Lambert is to be successful against Kansas, but from all indications he shouldn't have much trouble filling the position left when Tex Winter resigned to accept the head coaching job at Marquette university in Milwaukee. Wis.
Also a fine baseball coach, Lambert's products in this sport won conference crowns in 1948 and 1949.
Lambert himself began his athletic career at Anderson where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He was graduated in 1935 and entered Southern California that fall. The Trojan frosh basketball team, of which Lambert was a member, was undefeated in 24 games.
The new assistant is also responsible for developing three members of the 1951 K-State varsity which won the Big Seven and Western N.C.A.A. championships. Dick Peek, Bob Rousey and Dan Schuyler are all former Anderson High cagers.
The 33-year-old coach's first association with Gardner was in 1937 when he enrolled at Modesto, Calif., Junior college where the Wildcat mentor was head coach. Modesto won the California Junior college title the two years during which Lambert participated in basketball there. He set a new Juco, scoring record of 337 points in 26 games and was given all-conference recognition in 1938. He also pitched and played outfield with the Modesto baseball team.
After finishing at Modesto, Lambert re-entered Southern Car in 1938 and was graduated in 1940, the year of the Kansas-U.S.C. cage meeting.
He has played A.A.U. basketball with Clifton Cafeterias and Twentieth Century Fox and pro baseball with Bisbee, Ariz., of the Arizona-New Mexico league.
Chandler Favors MacArthur
He entered the Marine Corps in 1944, was discharged in 1945 from where he immediately went to Anderson to coach.
Chandler expressed his views in a letter to Bill Leiser, sports editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. A part of the letter was quoted in Leiser's column Wednesday.
San Francisco (U.P.) - Baseba,
Commissioner A. B. "Happy"
Chandler has hinted he will step out of his job right now if the major league clubs elect Gen. Douglas MacArthur to succeed him.
"As you probably know, I am one of MacArthur's strongest supporters and have been for many years," Chandler said. "He is my warm personal friend."
'If the baseball people are in earnest and will proceed to elect him commissioner, I will do everything in my power to see that he is promptly installed and will give
Leiser expressed the opinion that MacArthur would be available for the commissioner's job, although he might be ready to give a "definite answer" now.
The major league clubs voted some months ago not to renew Chandler's contract.
Lippy Leo Can Sleep Now His Giants Are Winning
"I would be very much interested in finding out whether they are sincere when they say they want a strong commissioner."
him every possible assistance in getting started on the job.
Hercegovina in western Yugoslavia, with adjacent sections of Bosnia and the Dalmatian coast, holds more than a fifth of the world's known bauxite, crude ore of aluminum.
New York (U.P.) - When Leo Durocher's Giants were sleeping their way through an astonishing 11-game losing streak, he paced the floor night after night, but now that they are awake on the field, he slumbers like an innocent babe.
Leo was radiant with joy after his boys' latest uprising, a league season-high on both hits and runs in yesterday's 17 to 3 thwacking of the Cardinals.
They banged out 21 hits, including two homers by rookie catcher Rafael Noble, who also got two singles, driving in five runs, Al Dark hit a triple, double, and two singles. Whitey Lockman rapped four singles and Bobby Thomson got a homer as every man in the starting lineup hit safely at least once.
In other National league games, the Boston Brewers blanked the Cincinnati Reds, 4 to 0, behind Vern Bickford; the Phillies downed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6 to 5, in 10 innings; and the Dodgers downed Chicago, 5 to 4. In the American league, the Yankees beat Cleveland, 9 to 2; Detroit whipped Washington, 4 to 0; and the Athletics beat the Browns, 8 to 2, in 10 innings. The Red Sox - White Sox game was rained out.
Bickford tossed a two-hitter against the Reds for his fifth victory.
Honor 20 At Relays Dinner
Twenty men who were concerned with the production of 26th annual Kansas Relays were honored at a dinner Wednesday night in the Hawk's Nest of the Union building.
Meet Director Bill Easton acted as master of ceremonies. He thanked each man for his part in planning the Relays, which he termed as very successful.
Ten members of the student committee were present, seven faculty members, and three local sports writers.
Kansas Relays wrist watches were presented to Dr. Forrest C. Allen and Mr. Earl Falkenstien, both of the Kansas athletic department, and Dave Mordy, chairman of the student committee. Each member of the student committee received a Relays medal.
Dr. Allen spoke briefly on the history of the Kansas Relays, which originated in 1919. He said the Relays give K.U. excellent national advertising.
Arthur C. Lonborg, director of athletics, Jim Gillespie, now the pharmacist in Watkins hospital and Dr. E. R. Elbel of the physical education department, received special mention for their part in making the 1951 Relays a big success.

Eddie Lopat went the distance for the Yankees against Cleveland to become the first American league pitcher to win five games. In addition, "steady Eddie" whacked his second homer of the season with two men on and singled home two other runs to lead his own support with five runs batted in. During his career, Lopat has beaten the Indians 29 times and lost only six.
Detroit won its third straight game, Hal Newhouser pitching the seven-hit shutout over Washington for his second straight victory. Steve Souchock led the Tiger hitters with a homer and single. He got two of the three hits lefty Al Sima allowed until he was relieved in the eighth.
