PAGE FIVE
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By RAY SOLDAN
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas has been given a high rating in Stanley Woodward's Basketball 1951, an annual publication which presents pre-season forecasts. The magazine, which will soon be released for general sale, is recognized as the most authentic and complete published on basketball.
Woodward picks the Jayhawkers as one of the three best teams in the Prairie and Mountain States area. And he gives Kansas a slight edge over the other two teams—Oklahoma A. and M. and Utah. Kansas is one of 17 teams listed as a "best" in Woodward's break-down by areas.
Two Jayhawker players are given special mention. Bill Lienhard, junior forward, is listed among the top 50 players in the Prairie and Mountain States area. Clyde Lovellette, Kansas' junior center, is named as potentially the leading player in the area. In addition, Woodward selects Clyde as one of 10 players on his pre-season All-American team.
Woodward puts Lovellette at a forward spot on his All-American team to make room for Willie Spivey of Kentucky and Billy Hestor of Arkansas, both several inches taller than Clyde.
The article points out that Lovellette could be one of the all-time basketball greats with hard work and improvement in his rebounding and defensive play. "His weaknesses are his inability to get into defense position against a fast break, a tendency to tire, and the fact that he is usually on the ragged edge due to his fouling tendency," Woodward states.
Two of the other predicted-All-Americans are with teams that Kansas will play on its December eastern trip. The biggest is Kentucky's Spivey, a 7-foot, $ \frac{1}{2} $ -inch tall junior. Like Lovellette, Spivey smashed all of his school's scoring records last year as a sophomore. The other All-American candidate who will perform against the Jayhawkers is Bob Zawoluk of St. John's. This is Zawoluk's junior year also. The 6-foot, 6-inch center broke all New York metropolitan basketball records last season.
Woodward lists Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Missouri as the Jayhawkers' toughest opponents in Big Seven play. However, on this point it looks like he slipped up a little. Kansas State isn't mentioned by Woodward, but the Jayhawker team figures that Jack Gardner's Wildcats will give them their chief competition in the conference.
Of Kansas' other starters, Woodward writes: "Lienhard is a one-hand set-shot artist who is very valuable when the defense collapses in an effort to cover Lovellette. Bill Hougland has a great deal of spring, and is very effective on rebounds. Jerry Waugh is the solid man of the team, a defensive genius who can also score. Bob Kenney is a driving type of player who has a good repertory of shots."
Also mentioned in the four-pages devoted to Kansas are Dean Wells, Sonny Fins and Charlie Hoag.
In Sports Life's pre-season round-up story, which has already hit the news stands, Kansas is picked as the nation's number six team. The Jayhawkers trail C.C.N.Y., Bradley Tech, Kentucky, St. John's, and North Carolina State in the Sport Life rankings.

and should be in top shape by game time.
Coach J. V. Sikes'Varsity footballers forgot their usual easy Monday workout as they started preparations for the "Mighty Sooners" who invade Memorial stadium Saturday by running through a lengthy offensive and defensive drill Monday afternoon in sweat clothes.
The Jayhawkers, barring practice injuries this week, are expected to enter the Oklahoma game in near top physical condition.
Today's drill is expected to be devoted to offensive scrimmage as Kansas sharpen its rushing and passing attacks. The Jayhawkers ground out 376 yards in the 39 to 26 win over Utah last Saturday and completed 6 out of 8 passes for 99 yards.
Kansas is expected to combine its rushing and passing to better advantage Saturday, as the aerial attack continues to show improvement.
Charlie Hoag, K.U.'s sophomore left halfback, received a slight charleyhorse in the Utah game but was running well in the practice
Union Bookstore Has Directories
Student directories are still available at the Union bookstore. However, they will not be available after Saturday. Students obtain their copy by presenting their ID card to a clerk in the bookstore, but faculty members and non-students may obtain their copy at the registrar's office, 122 Strong hall.
