UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By NELSON OBER
The Jayhawkers' athletic director to be, come next June, Arthur C. Lonborg, was officially introduced to the sports writers of this area Wednesday night at a press party in the Grill room of the Hotel Eldridge.
"Dutch" came to Lawrence Tuesday afternoon with his primary objective being to find a place to live when he makes the move from Evanston, Ill., next summer. He was down the week-end of March 11 for the same purpose.
So far his house-hunting trips here have been unsuccessful. "Dutch's" only comment on the subject was "you can't do much when they show you a selection of only two houses."
Frank W. McDonald, chairman of the Lawrence Quarterback club and who was acting as master of ceremonies at the party, revealed that a banquet honoring the Big Seven co-champion Jayhawker basketball team was being planned. The actual date has not yet been decided upon. The Quarterback club, sponsors of the banquet, will send a specific invitation to Rick Harmon, Kansas State basketteer, to attend the dinner. Athletic director, Ernie Quigley made a special recommendation that Harmon be asked because of the telegram Harmon sent to Dr. Duan and the K.U. basketball team just before the Bradley play-off game Monday night.
The telegram said "To Dr. Allen and KU team: Extend sincere wishes for a victory over Bradley tonight. All forgiven, love and basketball. Play the ball you are capable of, and congratulations to the N.C.A.A. champions to be. Signed. Rick Harmon, representing the Kansas State student council."
Although Harmon's prediction did not materialize the athletic department wants to let him know that they appreciated his sincere expression after all the vituperation received from other persons at K-State.
Sports writers from all over this area attended the Wednesday night press party, with approximately 60 persons present. All of the University coaching staff were present.
One added feature of the gathering was that Wednesday was Ernie Quigley's 69 celebration of his birth date. After the word had been passed around the entire group stood and sang "Happy Birthday, Ernie."
The recent renewal of the Kansas-Kansas State feud by chief Wildeat coach, Jack Gardner, has brought out the poetical nature of many young-sters, including students as well as young sports writers.
The latest received came in the form of a telegram from the K-State brethren of the K.U. chapter of Phi Kappa, social fraternity. It read: "We are in mourning with C. E. McBride, his sophomore crew of Jayhawks tried, dog," Lovelieve, and the committee, too; we match for the Bradley crew; That made us team 14 and 11. You know K-State, WE only lost seven "Untruh, Rah, Rah."
The U.D.K.'s sports editor is happy to now be able to announce a few facts about the Jayhawkier field house. Although almost every other paper in the state and a few outside have run the facts, or at least had an opportunity to do so, the Kansan, located at what should be the official source of the news, was not allowed to run it.
The location of the field house is now, quite definitely, going to be about 400 yards southwest of Lindley hall. Core drillings to determine how far down foundations will have to be sunk for a solid footing have been recently made.
There has been much objection and dissension among some of the University officials as to the location. But most of them now accept the fact that the site picked is the best all-around location possible.
One important factor which influenced the final decision was the fact that sometime in the future the state plans to extend U.S. highway 59, which comes up to Lawrence from Cttawa, straight north from the corner where it now turns east to

Eastern NCAA Tourney Begins Tonight With City College Of NY Favored To Win
This will eliminate the congestion of the narrow city streets during athletic events and enable the provision for ample parking space.
New York, March 23.—(U.P.)Ohio State gets its chance tonight to succeed where one crack midwestern team already has failed—stop City College of New York's drive toward an unprecedented sweep of the nation's two major college national basketball championships.
No team ever has captured both the National Invitation and N.C.A.A. tournaments in the same year. C.C. N.Y., however, took the N.I.T. championship from Bradley, the pride of Peoria, Ill., and one of the nation's best, and is a three point favorite to beat Ohio State in the first game of the N.C.A.A. eastern playoffs.
The Eastern champion meets the Western champion here March 28 for the N.C.A.A. championship. The winners of Friday's Bradley-U.C. L.A. and Frigham Young-Baylor games at Kansas City, Mo., play there for the Western title Saturday night.
In tonight's second Madison Square garden game, Holy Cross is a one and a half point choice over North Carolina state in a switch in the flow of betting money. The southern team was favored in the first call over. The survivors play Saturday for the Eastern N.C.A.A. title after the losers meet in a consolation preliminary.
Nat Holman, who has coached C. C.N.Y. for 31 seasons, admits this year's team is one of his finest. He calls forward Ed Warner "an all-America player if I ever saw one," and forward Irwin Dambrot "the greatest player I've ever coached." Warner averaged 21.7 points a game in the N.L.T., while Dambrot and Roman, C.C.N.Y.'s 6-foot, 6-inch center, each averaged 14.5 points.
Ohio State's Tippy Dy's dynamo is all-America forward Dick Schmittker. Schmittker is the Big Ten champions' leading scorer with 425 points in 20 games for a 21.3 average. He also is a good rebounder. Bob Donham, the other Buckeye forward, is not so well publicized but he set a new conference field goal shooting percentage of.426 this season and was chosen the squad's most valuable player by his teammates.
