The Jayhawkers get their first big test of the young season tonight when they meet the St. John's university Redskins in New York's Madison Square Garden. It will be the second and feature game of a college doubleheader. N.Y.U. and Colgate play the opening game.
Both K.U. and St. John's are undefeated—Kansas through three games, St. John's through four. The Jayhawkers are currently rated the No. 4 team in the nation behind Kentucky, Bradley, and North Carolina State. St. John's is rated eighth. Saturday K.U. meets No. 1 ranked Kentucky and its 87-game home winning streak.
Tonight will be Kansas' third basketball appearance in the big city—the last was in December of 1942. On this occasion, the high-flying Jayhawkers, led by all-Americans Charlie Black and Ray Evans, edged Fordham, 31 to 10. It was the top game on Kansas' most successful eastern trip in history—a trip which netted four-straight victories.
Two-years earlier, Fordham had dumped Kansas, 53 to 42, in the Jayhawkers' first New York appearance.
Tonight will be the first meeting of Kansas and St. John's in basketball.
K. U. holds early season victories over Creighton, 51 to 35, Utah State, 56 to 38, and St. Joseph's, 60 to 41. The high-scoring St. John's Redmen have rolled over Pratt, 90 to 39, Arnold, 99 to 60, William and Mary, 63 to 47, and S.M.U., 76 to 72. Their scoring average is 82 points a game.
Last season St. John's won 24, lost 5, and placed third behind C.C.C.N.Y. and Bradley in the National Invitational tournament. The Brooklyn institute isn't in a conference.
The early success of the two clubs has hinged chiefly around the scoring ability of their big centers—Clyde Lovellette of Kansas and Bob Zawoluk of St. John's. Both were choices for all-American honors by most pre-season forecasters, and
BOB ZAWOLUK
so far both have come through in all-American style.
Kansas and St. John's both have full teams of veteran players. Outside of Lovellette, the Kansas players haven't hit their scoring stride this year. Bill Lienhard will start at one forward and Bob Kenney, who played a hustling game against St. Joseph's will start at the other. At guards will be Bill Hougland and Capt. Jerry Waugh.
St. John's starting five are all capable scorers. Guard Al McGuire has been good for approximately 15 points every game, and guard Frank
Mulzoff can be counted on to contribute six or eight points. Forward Jack McMahon averaged 11 points a game last year and hit 26 points against Arnold two weeks ago to lead his team, Ray Dombrosky, the other forward, hasn't hit his last year's scoring pace yet. St. John is starting three seniors and two juniors. The Jayhawkers will open with one senior and four juniors.
Centers Lovellette and Zawoluk have picked up where they left off last year. Clyde has scored 79 points in three games for an average of 26.3. Big Bob has netted 101 points in his four outings for 25.3 points a game. Last year as sophomores, Lovellette averaged 21.8 and Zawoluk 20.3.
Each man has an outstanding field goal per centage. Through the first three games, Zawulok hit 30 of 49 shots for a sensational 61 per cent. Lovellette has scored on 37 of 79 shots, or 47 per cent.
Big Clyde, who stands three-inches taller than 6 foot 6 inch Zawoluk, got 25 points against Creighton, 22 against Utah State, and 32 against St. Joseph's. Zawoluk has hit for 27, 21, 25, and 28. Zawoluk is very fast and shifty.

ALONG the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
The 1950 Lawrence Downtown Quarterback club's annual banquet Monday night honoring the K.U. football teams and coaches was a complete success in every sense of the word.
Included among the 325 attending the banquet were Gov. Frank L. Hagaman; Chancellor Deane W. Malott; Oscar Stauffer and Hubert Brighton, members of the board of regents; 15 members of the press representing papers and radio stations in this area, and nine members of the Greater Kansas City alumni association. Also included and introduced were six fathers of Varsity and fresh players
FRANK McDONALD
Coach Jules V. Sikes pretty well summed things up when he said, "The Lawrence Downtown Quarterback club may not be the biggest or have the most money, but there are none that give a team better support than this Lawrence group, and we really appreciate it very much." And we'll certainly agree with Coach
As usual, Frank McDonald,
Lawrence's No. 1 coffee shop
quarterback, was at his best in
the role of toastmaster. His jokes
were as sharp as ever and of
course he had his good friend
nearby, Mr. Hadacol. It is largely
through the untiring efforts of
Frank that the Lawrence Quarterback club ranks as one of the nation's most loyal and faithful groups backing a major college gridiron team.
Sikes' statements about this group.
To Ben Carman, president of the Lawrence Downtown Quarterback club, goes much credit for a successful job in handling the affairs of the organization throughout the year. And, we might add, Ben never misses a K.U. football game no matter how far you have to travel to see it.
Just to show how he, McDonald, and others just as loyal, back the Jayhawkers' athletic teams the year around, we heard last night that they're planning on flying to Lexington, Ky., Saturday night to see Coach Allen's cage club in action against Kentucky, the nation's No. 1 team.
Without the constant and untiring efforts of such groups as the Lawrence Downtown Quarterback club and other alumni organizations, Coach Sikes and his staff would have a hard time building teams like this year's club that re-wrote more team and individual records than any Kansas football team.
So, to these groups, we'd like to say, "A job well done."
