Lovellette On UP's All-Big 7 Team
Kansas City, Mo. (U.P.)—Kansas State's champion Wildcats got two places today on the United Press all-Big Seven basketball team but Clyde Lovellette, Kansas University junior, stood out as the player-of-the-year.
Lovellette all season defied most efforts to halt his assault on scoring records. His achievements got him a place earlier this week on the United Press All-America team.
But the slick machine was Kansas State and Ernie Barrett and Lew Hitch were two big reasons why Coach Gardner's team raced off with the title.
Sports writers, radio broadcasterst, coaches and athletic officials voted first team places to Wayne Tucker, Colorado, and 6-foot-11 Marcus Freiberger, Oklahoma, to round out the top five.
Bob Rousey of Kansas State, a rugged competitor and future star, was named the "outstanding sophomore" of the season.
But when fans in the Midlands talked basketball, they always got around to talking about Lovellette, the Terre Haute, Ind., sensation who enrolled at the University of Kansas to help his asthma. It helped Coach Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, too.
K-State's Barrett of Wellington, Kan., and Hitch of Griggsville, Ill., were important parts of one of the best-balanced teams ever to race over Big Seven boards. One of their mates, Jack Stone, was given a second-team berth.
Tucker, a San Marino, Calif., import, played his heart out for a Colorado team that could win only two games of 10 in the conference and 4 of 24 for the season.
Freiberger blazed his way into top consideration by playing the kind of ball many experts thought he should have played last season. Oklahoma broke even in Big Seven play with a 6-6 record. It might have been worse except for the Greenville, Texas beanpole.
Other second team nominees, with Stone: Missouri's Bill Stauffer, Iowa State's Sy Wilhelmi, and Jim Buchanan and Bob Pierce of the University of Nebraska.
Stauffer barely missed making the first team. He was a power for Missouri, one of the chief reasons the Tigers were able to finish in a tie for second with Kansas.

Pan-American Title Goes To Argentina
Buenos Aires (U.P.)—Argentina will be crowned the champion of the first Pan-American games tonight at the official closing ceremonies.
The Argentinians wound up far ahead of the United States in the 10-
day sports carnival that ended last night, but lost the one championship they wanted most. That was the basketball title which was won by the U.S.

5 Berths Remain In NCAA Tourney
New York (U.P.)—Only five berths were left in the 16-team N.C.A.A. tournament today, and playoff games tonight will go a long way toward settling two of them.
At Seattle, Wash., U.C.L.A. and Washington open a best two-of-three game series playoff for the Pacific Coast conference championship and the automatic N.C.A.C.A. bid that goes along with the title.
And, at College Station, Texas,
Texas U. and the Texas Aggies begin a similar series for the Southwest conference title.
When these series are finished, the bracket for the western regionals will be completed. The other six teams in that area already have been qualified or selected—Kansas State, Arizona, Brigham Young, and the Oklahoma Aggies, and the two "member at large" teams named yesterday by a selection committee—Sen. Joe State, State Rep.
St. John's the nation's top-ranking independent team and the no.1 seeded team in the National Invitation tournament, was named to a "member at large" berth in the eastern regionals of the N.C.A.A. That left three spots still open there, all to be filled by other "members at large" to be named, the committee says, by Saturday.
North Carolina State and Cincinnati, waging a two-tteam fight for team offensive honors in college basketball, will carry their scrap into the National Invitational tournament.
