Pralle And Kappelmanoin Alumni Forces
Fred Pralle and Francis Kappelman, two of the greatest guards in Jayhawker basketball history, have joined the Alumni cage forces for the Alumni-Varsity game to be played at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Hoch auditorium, Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen said today.
Bob Johnson, a three-year letterman as a forward in 1930-40, 41 also sent in his acceptance to play on the Dutch Lonborg-coached Old Grad club. His name is the 17th to be added to the Alumni roster.
Praille, now assistant director of public relations for Phillips Petroleum Co., Bartlesville, Okla., gained all-American honors as a guard in 1937 and 1938 and all-conference fame three years on Coach Allen's championship teams.
Kappelman, presently employed as sales manager of a large bakery firm in Wichita, played guard on the 1934-35-36 teams that compiled an overall 27-3 conference record and a 51-8 season mark for the three years. He gained all-Big Six honors in 1936 as KU, rolled to one of its greatest season, 10-0 conference and 21-2 overall marks.
Praille and Kappelman along with Mitt Allen, son of Coach Allen and present Douglas County attorney; Ray Noble, Kansas City businessman, and Ray Ebling, Phillips Petroleum Co. executive, played on the great 1936 team.
Coach Allen hopes Ebling will be here for the game. He, along with Paul Rogers, Lawrence businessman, would give the old 36 crew a full team and provide K.U. cage fans an opportunity to see Allen's first of three undefeated championship clubs (10-0) in action once again.
Johnson, now head basketball coach at Shawnee-Mission High school, played on the famous 1940 club that went to the N.C.A.A. finals in Kansas City before bowing to Indiana. 60 to 42.
Dick Harp, Don Ebling, and Bobby Allen played with Johnson in 1939 and 1940. Harp and Ebling were co-captains of the never-say-die team of '40.
Coach Lonborg will gather his manpower from the following Old
“Has Beens” in an attempt to upset the Clyde Lovellette-B. B. Born combination. Coach Allen is expected to use these 6-foot 9-inch giants off a double-post offense.

Name Ft. Hays Man To Washburn Post
Topcka (U.P.)-Marian G. McDonald, 36, athletic coach at Ft. Hays State Teachers college was named head basketball coach at Washburn university.
McDonald succeeds Adrian "Ad," Miller, who has resigned to work for the Home Insurance Company. McDonald's appointment will become effective Aug. 1.
McDonald, a graduate of Larned high school and Ft. Hays State college, served five years as varsity basketball coach at Western Carolina Teachers college, Cullwohe, N.C. During that period his teams won one title and four second place positions.
Wells And Cleavinger Draw Praise From Sikes
When Kansas Football Coach J. V. Sikes metes out persona praise it's time to lend an ear.
The tall tactician, who believes in a spartan routine on the practice field, handed down not one but two verbal allocades April 28 as his charges closed their fifth week of spring drills.
They were aimed at a pair of halfback veterans, Dean Wells and Hal Cleavinger.
“Our squad is showing a fine willingness to work this spring.” Sikes smiled, after he watched his charges troop into the clubhouse following the final dress rehearsal for Saturday's game-condition scrimmage. “But those two boys really want to play football. They've got their minds made up to be fine football players next fall and ... well, right now, I don't know why they shouldn't be.”
Wells and Cleavinger have furnished the bossman's new eyebrowraising with their offensive flashes this spring. Both were defensive regulars last season, but their current pace is demanding attention in attack plans for 1951.
Wells carried the leather only 15 times last season from left halfback, netting 36 yards. Cleavingpacked it on only seven occasions, gaining 29 yards as a right-sider.
This spring the slender driver from Great Bend has been slashing so furiously that his teammates have nicknamed him "Crazy Legs." Cleavinger, always an elusive number in the open, has picked up the quick acceleration which Sikes demands of his backs, and carries good power as well.
Wells will be a senior next season; Cleavinger, a former prep ace at Manhattan, a junior.
"You can say those boys are making a place for themselves," Sikes continued. "Sure, they're going to play some offense next season."
Both, of course, are running into
Wade Stinson, last year's great little regular, is gone from right half, but Bob Brandeberry, another sophomore monogram winner, is returning. Also, there is a two-fold press from the french in Konek and Frank Cindrich, former Wyandotte High school sprint king.
heavy traffic at their respective spots. Charlie Hoag, who powered for 940 net yards as a sophomore last season, is returning on the left side. So is Pat Murphy, who earned a letter as a soph. Up from the frosh is John Konek, the rangy all-purpose buster from California, Pa.

JERRY WAUGH will be on hand for the Alumni team Friday night to work against his former teammates. Wang played guard during the first half of the 1950-51 season before he was ruled ineligible by the Big Seven athletic committee.
Recently appointed to the head basketball coaching job at Emporia High school. Waugh was one of the Big Seven's finest all-around players.
Man-eating tigers are usually old and no longer able to catch and kill forest game. When once they find how easy it is to kill men, they never stop.
His leech-like defensive work earned him the nickname of "The Sheriff."

CLAUDE HOUCHIN, one of the smoother guards ever to play at Kansas, will be one of the Old Grads' stalwarts Friday night. A four-year Jayhawk letterman, he played from 1947 to 1950, scoring a total of 642 points to rank fifth highest among all-time Kansas scorers.
He played with the Phillips 68 Oilers last season, an A.A.U. club well-known for its high-caliber play

Hawkins, now employed by the Kansas highway department, was a reserve guard on the 1946-47-48 teams. Mendenhall was a reserve end on the 1947 and 1948 clubs. He is still attending the University as is Mace.
Ends are Lyn Smith, Otto Schnell-
bacher, Chuck O'Neal, Bryan Sperry,
