Big Clyde Selected On AP All-American Team
Clyde Lovellette received another All-American award Thursday night when the Associated Press announced he had been selected to its 1951 first team All-America quintet.
to its 1951 first team All-America quarter. Another Big Seven conference star, Ernie Barrett of Kansas State, was named to an A.P. second team berth.
Besides Lovellette, others included on the first team were Bill Spivey, Kentucky; Gene Melihorre, Bradley; Sam Ranzino, North Carolina State, and Bill Mikky of Temple.
The majority of the 227 sports writers and broadcasters casting ballots selected Sherman White, Long Island university center, on their first team but his name was withdrawn because he is involved in the current eastern basketball scandal.
Joining Barrett on the second team were Dick Groat, Duke; Bob Zawoluk, St. John's university; Bill Garrett, Indiana, and Gale McArthur of Oklahoma A. and M.
Lovellette was second to Spivey in the total number of points based on the votes cast. However, the giant
Three juniors, Lovellette, Spivey, and Mlkvy, were named to the first team. The first two players moved up from a third team berth last year while Mlkvy, the nation's top scorer, has shown great all-around improvement this year.
K. U. center ranked third in the number of first team votes received, Spivey was named to the first team on 148 ballouts. Milky, 100; Lovellette, 96; Malchiorre, 92, and Ranzino received 89.
Spivey scored 542 points in Kentucky's first 28 games while Lovellette accounted for 538 points in 23 contests. Spivey has improved tremendously this year and now is ranked by many observers as the nation's top defensive center.

10 mitigate a goal. Iba's plan of attack is likely to be the same as he used in scoring a 46 to 41 victory earlier this year over Kansas here, a combination of the full-court press on defense combined with a steady stream of reserves to outlast the Jayhawkers.
Kansas will attempt to close its 1951 basketball season with an upset victory over the Oklahoma A. and M. Aggies at Stillwater Saturday night and thus gain back a bit of lost prestige in the national collegiate cage rankings.
The Jayhawkers led 28 to 25 in the game here but apparently wore themselves out midway through the second half and could collect only 13 points during the final 20 minutes.
But the task of upsetting Henry "The Iron Duke" Iba's Aggies is not an easy one, especially on the Sooner Aggie court. Oklahoma A. and M. has held down the No. 2 spot nationally in the Associated Press and United Press collegiate cage polls all year.
The only teams able to defeat the Aggies this year were Oklahoma 44 to 40 at Norman, Bradley 51 to 50 at Stillwater, and Detroit at Detroit, 62 to 52 Monday night.
Ibai's club enters its final regularly scheduled game of the year with 27 victories in 30 games as compared to Kansas' 15-8 mark. His well coached team also ranks at the top in the defensive department having restricted its opponents to a mere 44.5 points a game.
In the final A.P. poll of the season, Oklahoma A. and M. ranked close on the heels of Kentucky actually getting 10 more first team votes than the No. 1 ranked Wildcats of the Blue Grass state.
Kansas will be facing a team that Mr. Iba was frequently referred to as the team without a star." And this is largely true as indicated by A. and M.'s excellent team balance on the floor and in bench strength.
The Aggies' scoring is well balanced with forward Don Johnson pacing his team with 372 points followed by All-American guard Gale McArthur's 354, and Johnson's frontline partner. Norman Pilgrim, follows with 295 points. The other starters are 6-foot 8-inch Pete Darey at center and Keith Smith, a 5-10 midget at guard.
Kansas' hopes hinge heavily upon the shoulders of Clyde Lovellette and his starting teammates as has been the case all season. The K.U. All-American will be out to better his 1950 season scoring total which numbered 545 in 25 games. He now has 538 points in 23 games and needs only seven more to equal last year's mark.
