By RAY SOLDAN
Dr. F, C. "Phog" Allen, Ole Man River of Kansas on the Kaw, just keeps rolling along. Another chapter was added to his colorful career Tuesday when he was named the 1950 basketball "Coach of the Year."
"Phog" Allen began his long string of record-breaking performances 44 years ago when, as a junior at KU, he scored 26 points in a single game. This stood as a Kansas basketball scoring record until 1939 when Howard Engleman set a new record with 27 points. Engleman's *mark* was successively bettered by Ralph Miller, Charlie Black, Gene Petersen, and Clyde Lovelleet.
In 1905 Dr. Allen doubled as a KU player and as player-manager of the Kansas City Athletic club basketball team. His team beat the Buffalo Germans who claimed the world championship by virtue of victories in the Pan-American and St. Louis World's fair. After the victory over the Germans Dr. Allen's club toured the United States as the world basketball champions.
Dr. Allen coached KU. to a conference championship in 1908, the first year after his graduation. The next season was a busy one for him. Besides guiding KU. to another championship and 25 victories in 28 games, he coached Baker university to 22 wins in 24 games, and Haskell institute to 27 wins in 32 games. A season's total of 74 victories and 10 defeats.
Dr. Allen, who gets the "Dr." title because he is a registered osteopath, has won many trophies in his 40 years of coaching. However, one of his most prized is a small piece of referee's shirt. Following the Kansas-Kansas State game in Manhattan in 1945, which was won by K.U. in a disputed finish, the Aggie crowd stormed the playing floor to express its disapproval. In the process, the shirt of one of the referees was ripped from his back and a piece of it was later sent to Dr. Allen by an irritated Kansas State student.
Unless his newly earned Coach of the Year award overshadows it, probably the greatest honor that could be given to Dr. Allen would be to follow the many suggestions to the name new field house after him. Here's one more vote for Allen Field house.
Brigham Young Forward On Touring All-Star Squad

Antics On Horizontal Bar Put Stella Through School
Swinging from a horizontal bar is helping to put Stella Carney, fine arts freshman, through school. Miss Carney has the distinction of being one of the few women horizontal bar performers in the country.
Her partner, John Cress, a veteran at gymnastics and tumbling who has won more than 100 gymnastic competitions, thinks that Stella has a unique type of act for a young woman.
"She is one of the best top hand balancers I have every witnessed," he said. "While some acrobatic stars never develop top hand balancing, she has perfected a very good act in less than a year." He explained that a top hand balancer is the performer taking the top position in hand balancing acts.
Stella does not plan to continue her acrobatic performances after she is graduated. She wants to be a designer.
For these few minutes of performing, Stella and Johnny, members of the American Guild of Variety Artists, spend many hours in Robinson gymnasium practicing and perfecting their feats.
"Tumbling is a lot of fun and an easy way to see the country," she said. "While on the road, I work approximately 15 minutes a day and then I am through. Gymnastics might be all right for a pastime too, but I would not want to make it my life's work."
Stella started acrobatics early in her life. When she was three years old, her father realized that she possessed some sort of outstanding athletic ability and decided that she should take acrobatic lessons. At the age of seven, Stella was becoming skilled after taking acrobatic dancing lessons. Her teacher Mrs. Myrtle Sumner, 1144 Pennsylvania street, said that she was "quite small then, but was very limber and had good stage personality. She lacked good muscle control at first, but being a conscientious student, she developed rapidly." Stella entered several amateur contests under the supervision of Mrs. Sumner and seldom took less than first prize.
Stella has never been seriously injured. She said that she is sometimes frightened while performing above the stage but that most of her fright is nervous tension which wears off as the act goes on and she begins to relax.

her favorite acts. It is performed by placing the feet of a chair on four Coca-Cola bottles which are standing upright on a table. With Stella sitting in a chair that is balanced on the edge of the first chair, Johnny does a handstand on the uneven backs of the two chairs.
Johnny was graduated from the University of Illinois. He taught tumbling and gymnastics at the University in 1940 while completing his masters degree. He is a former A.A.U. champion and air force athletic director.
Last summer Stella and Johnny performed at fairs in Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. They plan to spend this summer performing at county fairs in surrounding states. They will represent the University on a tour next winter while performing on the horizontal and parallel bars and the trampolin, a canvas mat used in tumbling. They will act in several northern states and 16 Southern states on this tour.
Fight Date Is Indefinite
Buffalo, N.Y., March 29 — (L.P.)— Ezzard Charles will not defend his N.B.A. heavyweight title against Freddie Beshore here tonight as once scheduled, but there's a chance the fight may be held sometime in the future.
Promoter Dewey Michaela, who cancelled tonight's bout when Charles was discovered suffering from a heart injury, said today he was "playing with the idea" of rescheduling the fight.
It was quite a change of mind for Michaels, who announced two days ago that the match was off "definitely and forever." Today he blamed his earlier positive statement on the heated "excitement" caused by the revelation of Charles' illness.

SquadOf11Named For Texas Relays
Coach Bill Easton today named an 11-man track squad to compete in the Texas Relays at Austin, Texas, Friday and Saturday. The Jayhawkers depart from Kansas City by air at 1:35 p.m. Thursday.
Dave Fisher and Emil Schutzel were named by Easton to complete the squad previously named. Fisher and Schutzel earned their berths by their performances in quarter-mile time trials Tuesday.
Previously named to make the trip were Cliff Abel, Pat Bowers, Bob Broadly, Bob Devinney, Jack Greenwood, Captain Bob Karnes, Delvin Norris, Bill Richardson, and Herb Semper.
Devinney and Greenwood also will compete in the 120-yard high hurdles. Broady is an individual entry in the discus, and Norris and Richardson are in the high jump.
Easton also announced he plans to enter mile and sprint medley relay teams in addition to four-mile and distance medley quartets already decided upon. The Jayhawkers won the latter two relays at the Austin meet a year ago. Abel, Bowers, Karnes, and Semper will run the four-mile relay. Either Devinney or Schutzel will replace Semper and team with the other three in the distance medley. Devinney, Fisher, Greenwood, and Schutzel will make up the mile and sprint medley teams.
Why Did They Even Lock It?
Blair, Okla.—(U.P.)—A new combination lock on the Blair High school vault didn't stop a thief from taking $200. The burglar simply looked in a desk drawer, found a card with the combination written on it and followed instructions.
