Big7, Big10 Leaders To Clash Saturday In Chicago
By RAY SOLDAN
Kansas and Northwestern, Saturday opponents in the Chicago stadium, trail in their conference races, but each boasts the individual scoring leader. Clyde Lovellette heads the Big Seven with a 23.2 average. Ray Ragelis tops the Big Ten with a 22.1 average.
The Jayhawker-Wildcat encounter, the first in the schools' histories, is the feature game of an attractive College doubleheader. DePaul and
powerful little Beloit college will meet in the second game.
Lovellette and Ragiel are expected to maintain their high-scoring ways. So the game's out-come probably will be decided by the play of the other starters. Both are veteran aggregations with four-fifths of last year's regulars back.
Kansas has the most impressive season's record with 11 victories in 14 games, but Northwestern has set a torrid pace of late—winning five of
its last six, and averaging better than 75 points a game. This recent spurt has lifted the Wildteats' season record to nine victories against five defeats, and raised its 14-game scoring average to 71.2.
Lovellette Continues To Lead Big Seven In Field Goals, Total Points, Average
Harold Olsen, who succeeded Dutch Lonborg as Northwestern basketball coach when the latter moved in as K.U. Athletic Director, turns his team loose to romp and shoot from the opening tipoff. Olsen combines a fast-breaking offense with a defensive all-over-the-court press.
Clyde Lovellette continues the stranglehold on the Big Seven scoring statistics which he has held since the opening game of the season, a Daily Kansas tabulation showed today. Big Clyde leads the conference in field goals (152), total points (330), and average per game (23.6).
Oklahoma's 6-11 Marcus Freiberger has a big margin in the free throw department with 88. Roger Stokes of Colorado still leads in conference in personal fouls with 62 in 16 games—nearly four a game.
Only one new face has made an appearance in the top 20 Big Seven scorers during the past three weeks. Kenny Koop, Colorado center, edged into 20th place, replacing teammate Frank Gompert who skidded to 25th.

The full-court press has been used briefly against Kansas this year by St. John's, Kansas State, and Oklahoma. The press has bothered the slow-footed, poor-passing Kansans in the brief periods they have had to face it. St. John's and Oklahoma overcame 10 point Jayhawker leads by use of the press before finally bowing.
press.
The 71-point average is proo,
enough that Olsen's system pays off
in the scoring department. However,
opponents have averaged 69.1 points
a game in their "run sheep, run"
contests with the defenseless Wild-
cats.
If Northwestern can bother the Jayhawkers for the full 40 minutes with the press, Kansas is going to be in trouble.

with a 14-game average of 20.4. He had his biggest night of the season against Purdue last Saturday, scoring 36 points in the Wildcats' 97 to 79 rout. Teaming with Regalis in northwestern's flying machine are forwards Jake Fendley and Don Blasius, who have averaged 11.3 and 10.4 respectively, and guards Bernard Brady and Wally Horvatich.
Northwestern is presently riding in fourth spot in the Big Ten conference with a 5-2 record. It trails Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, but is a notch ahead of Minnesota, a team which whipped Kansas in the Big Seven pre-season tourney. Northwestern has already won two more conference games than last season's tail-end team.
