Kansas and Kansas State both draw tough assignments Saturday night with the Jayhawkers traveling to Ames to meet Iowa State while Kansas State travels to Norman to play Bruce Drake's Oklahoma Sooners.
Six Big Seven weekend games may well determine the final outcome of the 1950-51 conference basketball race. Three of these games involve Kansas State and Kansas.
The Cyclones and Sooners have been tough against their weekend opponents on their home courts in the past and could well deal out plenty of trouble again this year.
A Kansas State loss and a Kansas victory would place the Jayhawkers within striking distance of the league leaders. In this case, providing K. U. defeated Oklahoma here on Feb. 19, the championship would hinge on the outcome of the Kansas-Kansas State clash at Manhattan, Feb. 24, and a possible coin flip at the end of the season.
On the other hand, a Kansas defeat to Iowa State and a Kansas State victory over Oklahoma this weekend would all but deliver the championship to Manhattan.
Missouri. 39 to 38 victors over K. U. at Columbia Monday, opens a tough two-game road trip against Colorado at Boulder Saturday.
Sonny Wilhelmi's Point Spree Lifts Him To Eighth In Conference Scoring Race
By RAY SOLDAN
Sonny Wilhelmi, Iowa State's husky center, scored 22 points against Nebraska and 19 against Colorado the past week to make the biggest gain among the Big Seven's top 20 scorers, a Daily Kansan tabulation showed today.
Wilhelmi, one of two men in the conference who is a starter in both football and basketball, moved from 12th to eight place with his scoring burst. The other two-sport regular is Kansas' Charlie Hoag.
MARCUS
FREIBERGER
LOVELLETTE Kansas
Clyde Lovellette continues to run away from the pack in three departments. Big Clyde leads the conference in field goals (192), total points (422), and average per game (23.5). The Indiana youngster took over the lead in another department (most personal fouls) this week when Roger Stokes was dropped off the Colorado squad for indifference.
Stokes had a six foul lead on his nearest rial when he was banished. Since that time Lovellette has
moved in front with 62 foul. Bill Stauffer of Missouri is close with 68 personals, and five other players are over the 60-mark.
Marcus Freiberger of Oklahoma has a big margin in the free throw department with 107. Nebraska's Bob Pierce is second to the Oklahoma oil derrick with 83.
Only one new face has made an appearance in the top 20 scorers during the past two weeks. Frank Gompert, Colorado forward, edged into 26th place, replacing teammate Kenny Koop who skidded to 22nd.
K-State's Ernie Barrett fell out of the top 10 this week, leaving the league leaders without a representative in that select group. The well-balanced Wildcats do, however, have five men in the second 10.

Capt. Emil Schutzel Draws Top Foes In Saturday's Track Dual At Norman
By DON PIERCE
Emil Schutzel, Kansas' swift 135-pound track captain, isn't picking any soft spots.
Last Saturday the raven-haired little Kansas City citizen made his first 440 start of the 1951 Indoor season against Nebraska's sparkling sophomore Hobe Jones, losing by a yard in the final lunge for the wire. This Saturday, Schutzel meets two Big Seven champions in his speciality as Bill Easton's Jayhawkers tackle in a 2:30 p.m. dual at Norman.
Emil's foes will be a pair of long-legged huskies, Charles Coleman and Jerry Meader, who look like a couple of ends off Bud Wilkinson's football club. This pair split the two league individual quermilt titles last year, Meader winning in the indoor meet and Coleman in the outdoor. Both carry the long-striding overdrive and speed necessary for top-flight 440 hands and have given Sooner Coach John Jacobs one of the greatest one-two middle distance punches in loop annals.
Meader ran :50 flat to gather the indoor title, the 6-3'1/2, 190-pound Coleman racing :48.8 to cop the outdoor. Both were mere sophomores. This pair warmed up last week with spins of :51.8 and :52.0 in a practice meet against Oklahoma A. and M.
He beat the latter, another brawny endurance engine, out of fifth place indoor, but was disqualified in the process. He gave Kansas leadoff leads in both the indoor and outdoor mile relays, as the Jayhawkers nudged out Nebraska for an important second in the winter meet and won the outdoor crown by inches in a rank surprise.
Past performances and impressive physiques aren't likely to bother Schutzel, however. He's been looking up at most of his foes for two seasons, running in a conference era of swift well-balanced quartermiler fields.
Little Lightning wasn't even rated in pre-meet dope sheets last May at the conference outdoor derby. All he did was wip luminaries like Nebraska's Loyal Hurburt and Missouri's Elmer Klein in running third to Coleman and Chuck Temple of Colorado.
Jones ran a highly creditable .51.2 in nipping Schutzel last week in Lincoln. The tiny Kansan led almost all the way, losing in the last five yards.
Saturday's triangular collision between the two towing Sooners and the 5-5 Kansan promises to be the day's top race in a meet which looks extremely tight on paper. Coleman's :52.1 meet record, hung up last year, is a cinch to topple.
Last June he copped the Missouri Valley AAU crown in 149.4. It's no wonder the boys with the stopwatches are beginning to take him seriously. The gritty Jayhawk has earned every foot of his progress.
Four other marks will be in danger. These include an 08:00 in the 60-yard high hurdles, shared by OU's Jon (CQ) Sharp and Frank Stannard of Kansas; the Sooners' 3:28.0 in the mile relay; the 6-2 high jump figure co-owned by Bill Weaver of OU and Don Edmundson of Kansas, and Merwin McConnell's 23-0 in the broad jump which the Red - shirt leaper hung up last winter.
KU's Jack Greenwood unfurled a
:07.5 flight of highs against Nebraska,
just a tenth of a second above
KU Track Squad To Fly To Norman
Weather permitting, an 18-man K.U. track and field squad will leave by plane from the Topeka airport at 9:30 Saturday morning for Norman, Okla., and an afternoon meeting with Oklahoma's indoor tracksters.

Ray Evans One Of 5 Listed As Two-Sport All-American
RAY EVANS Two-Sport All American
Ray Evans, Kansas football-basketball All-American of the past decade, drew special mention in the latest issue of the Weekly Collegiate Basketball Record, as one of five such brilliant performers in the 20 years since 1930.
Listed along with the granite Jayhawker halfback-guard were Buzz Borries of Navy who turned the double in 1934: Banks McFadden, Clemson, 1939; Otto Graham, Northwestern, 1943, and Max Morris, Northwestern, 1945. Evans earned all-American cage honors in 1942 and 1943, and reached his grid pinnacle in 1947. Riff'r Ray now is a banker in Kansas City, Mo.
Also listed on a select list of 20 versatile athletes since 1930 was Otto Schnellbacher, grid and basketball great of the Evans era. Schnellbacher was a four-time all-conference forward in 1943, 1946, 1947, and 1948, and attained all-American rating at end in 1947.
During the 1948-49 athletic year he was believed to be the nation's only professional athlete competing in both major league basketball and football circles. Schnellbacher played with the St. Louis Bombers court club and the New York Yankees of the old All-American Football league. He is now a Topeka insurance salesman.
the league record. OU's relay quartet won the Michigan State Indoor title in 3:23.5 and swept the sugar bowl pennant in 3:17.3, with Meader turning a 47.7 anchor lap. Sooner high-jumper Dick Jones cleared 6-3 3-8 against A. and M. Sophomore broad-jumper Quanah Cox hit 23-1 in the bump jump.
Still handicapped by their frigid practice layout, "Icicle Circle" under the east wing of Memorial stadium, Easton's troupe performed somewhat better than expected against Nebraska although losing, 45-59. OU won last year's dual $52^{1/2}$-51.
