UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1951
ERNIE BARRETT (left) and JIM IVERSON are two of Kansas State's seven Century Club members. Coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats, Big Seven conference leaders with a 7-1 record, boast of seven players who have scored over 100 points in helping Kansas State climb the national cage ladder to the No.5 spot. The Gardnermen have a 17-3 season record.
Barrett leads the scoring with 201 points followed by Iverson with 183; Lew Hitch, 175; Jack Stone, 163; Dick Knostman, 159; Bob Rousey, 130; and John Gibson with 127 points. Ed Head needs only two points to gain membership into the Century Club.
Kansas State's balanced team scoring is probably the best in the nation. The Wildcats have no real individual stars. Anyone of the above eight scorers is capable of posting individual game scoring honors in any contest.
If Kansas is to defeat these championship bound Wildcats Saturday night at Manhattan, they must throw up the best team defense of the year.
Kansas "B" Basketball Team To Play At Baker U Tonight
PROBABLE STARTERS
KANSAS "B" Pos. BAKER
Kelley F Merrill
Buller F Lewis
Keller C Sterns
Schanke G Steele
Wells G Larson
Place: Baker U. Baldwin, Kan.
Time: 7 tonight.
Coach Dick Harp's club defeated Russ Davee's Baker club 53 to 35 here on Jan. 29, and the Bakeres have been waiting the return encounter to get another crack at the K.U. reserves.
The Jayhawkers must stop the Wildcats' ace center, 6-foot 6-inch Kenny Sterns, if they are to score their second victory in a row over the Baldwin boys. Sterns has the scoring tendencies of a Clyde Lovelle and must be slowed up if K.U. is to win tonight.
The Kansas "B" basketball team will play the Baker university Wildcats at 7 tonight on the Methodist school's floor at Baldwin, Kan.
The Kansas starting lineup is expected to find Dean Kelley and Kenneth Buller at forward, John Keller at center, and Bill Schaake and Dean Wells operating in the backline. In the earlier game here, Schaake and Kelley tied for K.U. scoring honors with 12 points each.
Besides the starters, the following players will make the trip by auto: Wally Beck, Mark Rivard, Jack Rodgers, Dean Smith, and Don Woodson.
Baker's starting lineup is expected to contain Bob Merrill and John Lewis in the forward slots, Sterns at center, and Jerry Steele and Larson at the guard spots.

Long Island Drops All Competition
New York (U.P.)-Bribe-battered Long Island university dropped all intercollegiate sports today but a survey showed the majority of the nation's colleges would discount current scandals and continue to play basketball in Madison Square Garden.
L. I.U., stunned by the arrest of four of its players on charges of "throwing" seven games in two years, announced it was cancelling the rest of its games this season and dropping all sports competition with other schools.
A United Press survey disclosed that almost all "big name" basketball teams which invaded Madison Square Garden in the past to play local college teams will be back again next season.
Many of the teams' officials were unwilling to give a definite "yes" or "no" answer at this time,replying merely "we'll wait and see,"or "a college board will decide that later." Out of 37 teams,17 answered in that vein.
But, of schools whose officials indicated definite feelings, 16 answered that they would return to the garden and only four said they would not.
The four who will drop out were Bradley, Denver, Oregon State, and South Carolina.
Answering that they were willing to return were Kansas State, Brigham Young, Texas, Holy Cross, Utah, Kentucky, Western Kentucky, San Jose State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Boston college, Duquesne, Niagara, Canisius, LaSalle, Cincinnati, and Notre Dame.
But Long Island U., for many years one of the nation's most powerful teams, decided late last night that it would return to "intra-mural competition" only, that is, between groups of students within the college itself with only students attending.
The L.I.U. board of trustees reached the momentous decision less than 24 hours after the arrest of star players Sherman White, Le-Roy Smith, Adoph Bigos, and Eddie Gard on charges of "throwing" seven games over a two-season span.
The trustees said they acted "in the light of the shocking and unimpeachable evidence of gross corruption which exists among an unfortunate minority group of the boys playing basketball for Long Island university and certain other institutions in the city of New York."
Men from the office of district attorney Frank S. Hogan so far have recovered $20,540 out of a grand total of about $31,000 that Hogan said the gambling ring paid out to eight college players who were willing to "lavw down" in big games.
Of this sum $12,430 was taken from the three L.I.U. stars who police say have admitted throwing seven games during the past two seasons.
Sherman White, six-foot, seven-inch national scoring leader for LL U., turned over $5,000 which he had hidden in an envelope pasted to the back of a bureau drawer.
