UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
PAGE FIVE
BY BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
The weekly Collegiate Basketball record, published by Athletic Publications, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn., lists its mid-winter All-America basketball team in this week's edition.
On the first team, at forward, are Sam Ranzino, 6-foot 1-inch North Carolina State star, and Long Island university's great jumping-jack, Sherman White, a 6-foot 7-inch outstanding performer in all departments.
Two of the Missouri Valley conference's top players are listed as first string guards. They are Bradley's Gene Melchiorre, 5-foot $8 \frac{1}{2} -$ inch playmaker and sparkplug, and Oklahoma A. and M.'s Gale McArthur, a 6-foot 2-inch excellent floorman. He is also regarded as the greatest scorer at Stillwater since the days of Foothills Bob Kurland.
Kentucky's great 7-footer, Bill Spivey, draws the pivot position largely on his excellent defensive play. Also his passing off the post to his high scoring and fast breaking teammates has been outstanding. He is also ranked as one of the greatest rebounders in collegiate basketball.
Jayhawk fans will have an opportunity to see McArthur play when Hank Iba's powerful Aggies invade Hoch auditorium Monday, Feb. 5th. At present the Aggies are rated the nation's No. 2 team back of Bradley with a 13-0 record. This game should be one of the nation's top games that week.
-K.U.-
The second All-America team is composed of what we think would be just as good if not a better team. The forwardes are Bill "No Vowel" Mlkvy, Temple's great 6-foot 4-inch jack-of-all-trades, and St. John's high scoring Bob Zawoluk, a 6-foot 6-inch postman. The Jayhawkers' big center, Clyde Lovellette, is named at center, the back line, Minnesota's Myer "Whitey" Skooq and Duke's Luke Great, a pair of 6-foot middets, are listed.
This second five has three of the nation's leading 11 scorers in Mikvy, ranked first. Lovellett in fifth place, and Zawoluk in 11th.
In fact, Mlkvy and Lovellette have probably been the hottest pair of scorers in the nation through the last six games. Over this six-game stretch, big Clyde has scored 154 points for a 25.7 average game in hitting 51 per cent of his field goal attempts. Mlkvy, who aged 28.7 in his first 10 games, has added a 43-point game against North Carolina since to up his average to 29.5 for 12 games.
Zawoluk, considered the greatest scorer ever to play in the Metropolitan New York area, scored 237 points in his first 11 games for a 21.5 average. His field goal shooting percentage for the year is 48.6 as compared to a like figure for Lovellette.
-K.U.—
Regardless of which team, first or second, you place these 10 great players, they certainly look like the cream of the crop among this year's college players.
Here's hoping Lovellette will continue to show all around improvement in his play through K.U.'s final 13 games to achieve a first team berth on the various all-America teams this year. Such national honors would be a fine tribute to big Clyde, his teammates, Coach "Phog" Allen, and to his school.
-K.U.-
Let's keep up the good work Clyde. Who knows, maybe Kansas and you will get another crack at Kentucky and Spivey if the Jayhawkers can get into the N.C.A.A. playoffs in March. To be sure of getting into these playoffs, Kansas must win the Big Seven title outright.
Under the national Collegiate Athletic Association set-up, the champions of the Big Seven, Missouri Valley, Pacific Coast, Skyline, Southwest, and Border conferences will compete along with two members-at-large (independent teams) in the Western Regional tournament March 21, 22, 23, and 24 in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium. The Border and Big Seven conference champions meet in the first round.
In the Eastern Regional, winners of Eastern League, Big Ten, Southeastern, and Southern conferences will battle it out with four members-at-large for the championship.
The champion and runner-up of each regional will meet in the University of Minnesota's (at Minneapolis) mammoth fieldhouse on March 27, for first, second, third, and fourth place national honors. In case of a tie in the final Big Seven standings this year, a drawing will be held to determine the conference's N.C.A.A. Western regional representative for the Kansas City tourney.
So, if the race finds K.U. deadlocked in the No.1 spot, you'd better be ready to get out your rabbit's foot and stroke it a few times.
Grand Dragon To Run
Destiny Of NCAA Bad Boys Is Postponed
Tallahassee, Fla.—(U.P.)—Bill Hendrix, grand dragon of the Florida Ku Klux Klan, has announced he will run for governor of Florida in 1952. Hendrix, who said he would take a "leave of absence" as Klan chief to make the race, claimed he would be the only candidate "not on the fence."
Trees Flourish In Winter
Salt Lake City—(U.P.)—It's a long way to spring in Utah but Mrs. Grant Miller of Salt Lake City has some doubts about it. Pear tree, apple tree and an apricot tree in her yard had leaves on them in December. Some of them were an inch long, soft, velvety and green.

Dallas, Tex., Jan. 10—(U.P.)—Accused violators of the National College Athletic Association's sanity code were given a break today by the N.C.A.A.'s powerful executive committee.
The fate of six, or possibly 10, unidentified schools up for suspension for disregarding the controversial code covering financial aid to athletes will not be discussed until late in the convention's general sessions Friday or Saturday.
The order of business putting the proposed disciplinary action down the list behind the expected fireworks over sanity code amendments was taken Tuesday by the executive committee.
By doing so, the committee paved the way for possible passage of a liberalizing amendment to the code which would make censure of the offending school unnecessary.
The actual charges against the unnamed schools have not been divulged, but it was generally understood that if either of three amendments to be voted upon are passed the schools would have virtually a clean bill of health, or could get that way soon.
And, sentiment among the early arrivals seemed to be that one of the amendments might get the needed
LIU Defeats Bills, 74-62
New York, Jan. 10—(U.R.)-The unbeaten Blackbirds of Long Island university soared higher into the stratosphere of college basketball today on the wings of a mighty triumph over speedy St. Louis university.
In a Madison Square Garden game Tuesday night heralded as one of the top court battles of the year, L.I.U. unveiled brilliant basket power in the final quarter to gain its 10th and best victory of the season. 74 to 62.
And the standouts, both in height and performance, were L.I.U. aes Sherman White, 6-feet, 7-inch tall, and Ray Felix, 6-feit-11. Between them they plucked the majority of the rebounds off both backboards, disrupted St. Louis' famed fast break, and White emerged as high scorer with 24 points.
Leroy Smith of L.I.U. pressed White closely with 23 points, including booming set shots at critical points.
L. I.U., ranked fourth nationally by the United Press Board of Coaches, got off to a fast start against the previously twice-beaten Billikins, ranked sixth. At the half the Blackbirds led by nine points.

Aggies, Iba Under Fire From Wichita Cage Coach
Wichita, Jan. 10—(U.P.)—The Oklahoma A. & M. basketball team and its coach, Henry Iba, today were targets of Wichita university Coach Ken Gunning, who hurled charges of "too much rough stuff" in the wake of the Aggies' victory over Wichita, 64 to 45.
"The methods the Aggies use," Gunning said, "make opposing players forget about playing basketball to defend themselves against the rough stuff."
Gunning also accused coach Iba Tof of encouraging the officials to be lax in calling fouls and adder that the players were too drunkers, "even without the routh stuff."
The Wichita coach's ire resulted
two-thirds approval necessary from the general assembly.
The one generally given the best chance of passage is of undivulged authorship, although talk is that it has the tacit approval of the N.C. A.A.'s council, or policy-making body.
from injuries to two of his star players in the game. Forward John Friedersdorf, one of the Missouri Valley conference's leading scorers, may be benched for three weeks, Gunning said. He suffered a leg injury and was carried from the court in the third period of the game.
Guard Hank Hemingway reinjured an ankle in the first five minutes of play.
