Place: Hoch Auditorium. Time: 7:30 tonight.
Three famous Jayhawker undefeated conference championship basketball teams, the 1936, 1943, and 1946 clubs, will be represented tonight by 10 of K.U.'s most famous cagers of all-time when the Alumni tangle with Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's power laden Varsity team.
Alumni hopes of winning this colorful attraction suffered a severe setback Thursday when Charlie Black, one of K.U.'s top defensive men of all-time, notified Coach Allen that an infected tendon in his arm would prevent him from competing in the game.
The Old Grads had banked on him to do the almost impossible—slow up the highest scorer in K.U.'s history—big Clyde Lovelette, and thus give them some chance of victory.
Kansas basketball fans will get their first preview of K.U.'s 1951-52 club which will return with its five 1951 starters intact this fall. Added to this group will be Lovellette's counterpart, B. H. Born, a 6 foot 9 inch lefthander from Medicine Lodge.
The Allemen, who are completing their two weeks of spring cage drills with tonight's game, will start Bill Lienhard and Born at the forward spots. Lovelette will start at center and Bob Kenney opening whistle from back-line and Bill Hougland will answer the positions.
Thirteen members on K.U. spring cage roster are freshmen.
CLYDE LOVELLETTE, the Jay- hawkers' All-American center, will be out to show the "old-timers" tonight how modern-day high-scoring basketball has replaced the slow low-scoring game.
Some of the more impressive boys is warm-weather drills besides Born include Everett Dye, Independence; Allen Kelley, McCue; Weston Johnson, Newton; Bob Godwin, Beloit; Rich Young, Salina; Wesley Whitney, Newton, and Don Anderson of Lawrence.
Lovellette continued to break record after record during the past season to rank as the greatest collegiate scorer (based on average) of all use through a two-year sophomore junior span of playing time.
After finishing as the nation's fourth leading scorer as a sophomore in 1950 with 545 points, "Colossal" Clyde raised his average this year to 22.8 points a game in 24 contests but could finish no higher than fifth.
The Varsity is expected to use the Lovellette-Born duo off the double post and make the Old-Timers' defense a mighty tough problem. Loveletta hooks to the right, white big Born spins to his left when throwing in his accurate hook shots.
Seven Alumni players scheduled to see action tonight are listed among K.U.'s top 10 career scorers of all-time.
Following Lovelletta, K.U.'s top career scoreer with 1093 points scored in 49 games during the past two years, are the following:
Schnellbacher, No. 3, with 923 points in 83 games; R. Ebling, fourth with 651 in 16; Houchin, fifth with 658 in 87; Waugh, seventh with 562 in 85 contests; Engleman, eighth with 530 points in 57 games; Prale, ninth with 526 in 60 games, and Evans rounds out the group with 513 points over a four-year 80-game route.
