Big Clyde Lovellette Lured To Colorado Says Student Paper
The following is taken from the Silver and Gold, student paper at the University of Colorado:
"Colorado's basketball future definitely grew brighter today with the announcement by Dean Harry Carlson that Clyde Lovellette, Kansas university's outstanding center, has decided to transfer to the University of Colorado.
"Lovellette, who stands 6 feet $ \frac{8}{2} $ inches, could not be reached in Lawrence for comment concerning his surprise move, but Dean Carlson revealed that Mr. Magnificent would arrive in Boulder early next week after he winds up his business deals at Lawrence.
"In an unprecedented move, Colorado university's admissions committee will meet this afternoon to do away with scholastic requirements in connection with Lovelette's being admitted as a bona fide student here. It is rumored that the basketball star compiled some rather low grades last quarter at K.U., this being due to the many hours he had to devote to Dr. Phog Allen's team.
"Doc Allen, 64-year-old hoop dean at the Kansas school, wired his congratulations to Dean Carlson. You are to be congratulated on acquiring the greatest player I have ever coached," Allen wired to Carlson. "But I really don't know what Clyde will do about his asthma. You know, he came to Kansas in the first place mainly because
the weather was good for asthmatic condition.'
"Associated Press reports that Dutch Lonborg, Kansas athletic director-elect, is fuming at the gills. Lonborg, basketball coach at Northwestern before coming to Kansas last winter, is accusing Colorado of piracy. The Boulder people's acquisition of "Our Clyde" amounts to nothing less than outright pirating of an athlete."
"But Boulder officials report that they are surprised at Lovellette's transfer as are Lonborg and Allen. Aroused at Lonborg's 'unfair accusations', the usually soft-spoken Harry Carlson erupted, 'Darn it, all we know is that Lovellette said he thought Boulder would prove more beneficial for his athlete's feet and that he'd like to enroll here—if we'd accept him.'
"Although he was only a sophomore this past season, Clyde Lovellette turned his Kansas center duties into a Big Seven record-breaking scoring performance. He hit better than 23 points in a game in his initial campaign in conference games, a previously unheard-of scoring feat.
*scores 10 points in Boulder against the Golden Buffaloes in a game which Colorado won by two points. Then, with Kansas getting sweet revenge against the Buffins in a game at Lawrence, the carrot-topped Kansan hit 29 points.
