MONDAY, MAY 7, 1951 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE JOHNNY AMBERG didn't lose a yard in the alumni-varsity football game May 5. He carried the ball a total of 16 times for 75 yards and a 4.7 average. The hard-driving fullback scored the first of two old-timer touchdowns on a line plunge good for 5 yards. Amberg played much the same role last season when he was a mainstay in the Jayhawker backfield. 0 Old-Timers 'Fade Away' In 59 To 48 Cage Defeat Bv BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's 1952 Jayhawker basketball squad, featuring the nation's greatest collegiate scoring artist in big Clyde Lovellette, proved a bit too strong for K.U.'s alumni and defeated the old-timers, 59 to 47, May 4 in Hoch auditorium before some 2,800 cage fans. The game was exciting and colorful from start to finish with the alumni team presenting no less than five former Jayhawker all-American players-Ray Ebling, '38; F. Pralle, '38; Howard Engleman and Bob Allen, '41, and Ray Evans, '47. Although several of the Alumni players hadn't played in recent years, nearly all of the famous "has been" managed to flash a bit of yesteryear's playing ability that ranked them among the greatest names in K.U. cage annals. Although defeated by 11 points, the old grads outscored Coach Alen's kids, 18 to 2, during the first five and last four minutes of the game. The alumni staged a late rally that closed a 38 to 57 gap to 48 to 59 during the final four minutes. The Dutch Lonborg - coached alumni team showed plenty of class as they got away to an early 8 to 0 lead in the first 4:40 minutes of the game. The varsity's first points came on a field goal by Bill Lienhard after 5:15 had been played. As the alumni became winded, the varsity picked up speed to knot the score at 10-all with nine minutes played. After the grads took an 11 to 10 lead at the 9:15 mark, Lovellette's jump shot 25 seconds later erased the old men's final lead of the game. Lovellette's seven field goals proved too much for the Alumni as they trailed. 21 to 36, at halftime. Allen's youngsters, paced by Lienhard's pair of goals and B. H. Born's set of two-pointers, outscoed Lonborg's men, 12 to 11, during the third quarter to move into a 48 to 32 lead. During the final period, the old grads got their second—or maybe third wind—and outscored the Varsity, 16 to 11. Lovellette's 18 points was high for the Varsity. Weston Johnson, Newton freshman, followed with eight points, Born scored seven, Lienhard added six, and freshman Allen Kelley scored five points. Three alumni players scored a total 29 points to help keep their club in the game. Claude Houchin, '50, and Otto Schnellbacher, '48, split scoring honors with 11 points each. Gene Petersen, '50, added seven points besides turning in a great defensive job in holding Lovellette to a mere two fourth quarter baskets. Schnellbacher and Houchin did a fine job of rebounding for the alumni as did Born, Lovellette's 6-foot 9-1ch counterpart, who worked at forward for the Varsity. The Alumni proved they hadn't lost any of their free throwing ability by scoring 14 of 17 charity tosses. Coach Lonborg played teammates off the famous championship teams of 1936, 1940, and 1943 as units during part of the game. Alumni starters were Buddy Bull '51, and Schnellbacher, forwards; Jerry Waugh, '51, center, and Houchin, and Eyans at guard. Through most of the game, the Alumni managed to flash—from time to time—outstanding passing, defensive and rebounding ability, floor play, and scoring talent.

The game earned the old-timers a split in the two contests they played during the all-sports weekend. Halftime score: Varsity 36, Alumni 21 Ballpark: Kansas City) and Roy Holiday, (Kansas Tigers) Totals ... 28 ... 3-5 ... 16 ... 59 Approximately 6,000 spectators, of which only about 1,000 were students, were on hand to watch many of Kansas' most famous grid stars perform against the varsity. The game-clinching counter came with slightly less than four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and climaxed a 33-yard drive that started when Hoyt Baker recovered a fumble by Chet Strehlow, varsity quarterback. The star-studded alumni lineup, boasting six professionals among its 43 players, fought off determined varsity drives during the first half but began to remember their old playing days to hold the upper hand throughout most of the latter stanza. Their defensive work was particularly rugged. The varsity scored with five and one half minutes gone in the second quarter as fullback Bud Laughlin bulled over left guard from the 3-yard stripe. The touchdown drive started on the alumni 28 when Orville Poppe, freshman tackle, recovered a fumble by Forrest Griffith. Carl Ellis blocked John Konek's kick from placement and the varsity led 6 to 0 at halftime. Coach J. V, Sikes footballers were severely handicapped by the absence of several standouts Charley Hoag, stellar sophomore h a1 f, George Mrkonic, regular tackle, and Galen Fiss and Merlin Gish, rugged line-backers, are all competing in spring sports. Shelved with injuries are quarterbacks Jerry Bogue and Jack Rodgers, co-captain Aubrey Linville, tackle Bill Marshall, and Orbin Tice, center Wint Winter, and guard Jack Cole. Archie Unruh performed creditiblity at the varsity quarterback slot although his passing efficiency was hampered by a lack of protection. He begged five out of 11 tosses for 41 yards to lead in that department. Bud Laughlin was the varsity workhorse. He carried the ball on The 1950 fullback, hard-driving John Amberg, was the main cog in the alumni ground attack. He gained 75 yards in 16 carries and was never thrown for a loss. 17 occasions for a net gain of 43 yards. Particularly evident among the old-timers was the defensive combination of the two Dons, Ettinger and Fambrough. Both played on the Orange Bowl team of 1847. They staged a goal-line stand late in the second quarter to stop the bruising Laughlin 1 yard short of pavdirt. The varsity had a firstdow on the alumni 5 and Unruh sent the Kansas City sophomore into the line on four successive plays. He moved to the 2 in two downs and then it was that the famous duo made their play, "Tackle made by Fambrough and Ettinger," biased the loudspeaker and the crowd reared when the referee signified they had stopped the youngsters one yard short of their second marker. The oldest man on the field, Don "The Great White Swan" Pierce, who graduated in 1940 after gaining all-Big Six honors, participated during this stand. Pierce is the present K.U. sports publicity director. Riflin' Ray Evans, the Jayhawkers' only football all-American in 1947, played intermittently throughout the game. He carried the ball five times for nine yards and connected with one out of four of his famous aerials for 19 vards. The first alumni touchdown came four minutes and 35 seconds after the second half scored. It heralded one of a revitalized old-timer team. Amberg smacked over right guard for five yards and the marker, which climaxed a 27 yard drive after Ellis recovered a varsity fumble. Fambrough's placekick, with Evans holding, split the uprights and the alumni led 7 to 6. From then on the seasoned alumni symmed all varsity attempts to put together a scoring offense. They got only three first downs after the Amberg score.

Jack Greenwood grabbed two of the Jayhawkers' eight firsts, winning both hurdle races and adding seconds in the high jump and broad jump to annex scoring honors with 16 points. Greenway narrowly missed a couple of dual meet marks. His :14.7 performance in the high hurdles was just short of the :14.6 posted by K-State's Hi Faubion last season. His :24.0 effort in the lows was only two-tenths of a second shy of the 1931 record turned in by Kansas $ ^{2} $ Harry Hinkley. Jayhawker Don Smith sped to a new school record in the 440-ard dash—circling the ruck in 490.0 three-tenths of a second better than John Jackson's 1946 performance. Herb Semper won the mile in 4:20.4 and came back to cop the 2-mile in 9:23.4. Cliff Abel and Keith Palm-quist followed Semper across the finish line in the 2-mile race. The Kansas State mile relay team of Bill Stuart, Dick Towers, Ted Watson and Thane Baker ran a record-smashing 3.20.7 four laps to shatter the 3.22.3 mark set in 1933 by Jayhawkers Bob Schroder, Theno Graves, Ed Hall and Glenn Cunningham. A pair of Kansas footballers placed first and second in the shot. Merlin Gish heaved the iron ball 44 feet 4% inches--about 5 inches better than Charlie Hoag's second place effort. Gish also won second in the discus. Rollie Cain turned in a 1:55.9 clocking in the 880-yard run and Norman Steanson cleared 12 feet 6 inches in the pole vault for two more Jayhawker firsts. Kansas State's two standouts, Herb Hoskins and Virgil Severn, came through as expected in their events. Severn captured the high jump at 6 feet 12 inches. Hoskins, who has been sidelined for nearly a month with a badly jammed ankle, was competing for the first time since his injury. He jumped off the wrong (left) foot and won the broad jump at 22 feet 8 7-8 inches. He had two better jumps of 22 feet 8 inches and 23 feet 10 inches but both were scratched due to a foul off the board. For The Want Of A Belt Memphis, Tenn. (U.R.)—M. R.
