PAGE SEVEN
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Sports Editor
As the team left the bus upon its arrival here Sunday afternoon from Stillwater, "Phog" Allen—a happy coach indeed—bid his team good-bye and pretty well summed up the situation when he said, "This was certainly (referring to K.U.'s 37 to 27 impressive victory over Oklahoma A. and M.) a grand way to end the season.
DR. F. C. "PHOG" ALLEN
"I think we finally found ourselves in the Aggie game. It was one of our best games and I'm certainly proud of the boys—for they all played a great game. It marked the second straight game we played great fourth quarter ball to win with the pressure on us.
"We had to come from behind in the Colorado game at Boulder to win and did a great job of protecting our lead in the Aggie game. Our boys just outfought the Aggies all the way and made up their minds they weren't going to be beaten in the final game of the season.
K. U.
Saturday was indeed a great night for "Phog" Allen as he received as fine an honor from his arch rival Coach Hank "The Iron Duke" Iba, as he's probably ever received.
Regardless, it was a great way to finish our season."
In pre-game ceremonies, Allen was honored by Coach Iba and the Aggie fans for his 41 years of loyal and untiring efforts to his coaching profession.
Following his introduction over the P.A. system by Otis Wile Aggie publicity man, Coach Iba presented Allen with a beautiful gold plaque in appreciation for his efforts to the game of basketball.
Allon accepted the gift and received a terrific ovation after which he said, "I'd rather have something like this from Henry Iba than from any other coach in the country.
"He's a great competitor and an aggressive man—he likes to win but if he can forget differences on the basketball court and present me something like this, I really feel honored."
Here is the inscription on Allen's plaque:
To Dr. F. C. Allen of Kansas. A great coach, a fighting rival, a true sportsman. In appreciation for his devoted work in basketball and his towering stature in his profession of coach Since 1908, no man has contributed as much to the game.
"Presented in 1951 in Doctor Allen's 41st year of coaching by his admirers and friends of Oklahoma A. and M. college."
It is our belief that receiving this great honor did more than anything else to bring victory to Kansas. It certainly must have inspired the Kansas team to have such a great tribute heaped upon their coach.
I think the boys merely decided then and there that this one was "for the good Doctor."
K. U.
For the second straight year, Kansas finished its basketball season in a blaze of glory. This fact establishes K.U. as a probable prime target for plenty of 1952 pre-season basketball publicity that will keep Coach "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers in the limelight.
K. U.'s opponents this year were usually "up" and operated above par in attempting to upset the publicized Jayhawkers.
Every opponent was "gunning" for the Allenmen and usually operated above par in an attempt to upset the highly publicized Jayhawkers.
Last year Kansas finished impressively by winning five of its final seven games losing only a 49 to 52 overtime battle to Oklahoma at Norman and a 57 to 59 thriller to Bradley in the fifth district N.C.A.A. playoff in Kansas City.
This year's club showed poise and plenty of competitive spirit by coming from behind to down Colorado, 58 to 56, at Boulder, outmanned Iowa State here, 70 to 64, and scored one of the nation's top collegiate cage upsets of the year in K.U.'s final game by soundly beating the Oklahoma A. and M. Aggies at Stillwater, 37 to 27.
Hank Iba's club was a top heavy favorite to defeat the Jayhawkers. His Aggies rated a solid second place in the final AP and UP age rankings and will enter the Western N.C.A.A. playoffs in Kansas City later this month as our co-favorite with Kansas State to advance to national finals at Minneapolis.
advance to national imas at Minneapolis.
With K.U.'s starting five returning intact next fall—Bob Kenney and Bill Lienhard, forwards; Clyde Lovellette, center, and Charlie Hoag and Bill Hougland at the guard spots, Coach Allen's club will no doubt again gather in the most pre-season publicity and votes to cop the Big Seven crown and place high in the national stage picture.
Dick Tomlinson Appointed To Football Coaching Staff
Dick Tomlinson, former all-Big Seven guard on the 1948 and 1949 Jayhawker elevens, has been appointed to the K.U. football coaching staff for spring practice, Arthur C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director, announced Monday.
Tomlinson, who is presently enrolled in the Graduate School, played professional football with the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Steelers in the National Professional Football league the past fall.
TOMLINSON
The Co-captain of the 1949 K.U. grid team was
regarded as one of the finest first-year men in the pro football ranks and expects to return again this fall.
Tomlinson, a former all-state fullback from Dodge City in his prep days, played on the Jayhawkers great 1947 football team that lost a 14 to 20 heartbreaker to Georgia
