Jayhawkers Will Test Nation's Top Team
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers will be meeting the nation's top college basketball team Monday, March 20, when they play the Bradley university Braves in the fifth district National Collegiate Athletic association play-off game in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium. The winner will represent the fifth district in the N.C.A.A. western play-offs to be held in Kansas City, March 24 and 25.

University of California at Los
Angeles, Baylor university,
and Brigham Young university will
represent the Pacific Coast, the South-
west, and Rocky Mountain areas
respectively.
Bradley university, located in Peoria, Ill., is considered tops in collegiate cage ranks for several reasons.
The Braves have one of the top young cage mentors in the country in Coach Forrest "Forddy" Anderson. 30-year-old former all-Pacific Coast conference selection at Stanford university in 1941.
Coach Anderson starred for two years on the Great Lakes navy team during the 1942 and 1943 seasons. He played against one of K.U.'s best teams of all-time, the "Iron-Five," in Kansas City in 1943. After sea duty, he returned to coach the Great Lakes basketball team in 1945.
Following his graduation from Stanford university in 1946, Coach Anderson became basketball coach at Drake university. His teams won 32 and lost 23 during the 1947 and 1948 seasons.
In Coach Anderson's first year at Bradley last year, his team won 27 and lost eight to rank seventh in the nation. They finished third in the Missouri Valley conference, their first year in the league. The Braves finished strong taking fourth place in the National Invitational tournament.
As indicated by this year's record of 29 wins against only three losses, Coach Anderson inspires the Braves with a burning desire to win. His two-year record at Bradley lists 56 wins and only 11 defeats and an all-time college coaching record of 88 wins and 34 losses.
The Braves, riding on a 14-game winning streak, will meet City College of New York Saturday night for the National Invitational tournament crown. The Braves scored impressive 78 to 66, and 83 to 72, wins over Syracuse and St. John's respectively to advance to the finals.
Bradley will fly to Kansas City, Sunday, to gain some much needed rest before tangling with Kansas on Monday night.
The Bradley cagers, "The Prides of Peoria," probably receive the finest backing by local cage fans of any team in college basketball. The fans in Peoria have loudly claimed Bradley the best college team in the country for some time.
In winning 18 out of 19 home games, Bradley played before 19 consecutive sellout crowds of 8,300 fans who filled their new A. J. Robertson
Memorial fieldhouse to see the Braves play.
When the Braves played De Paul university, February 11, in Chicago stadium, nearly the same size throng which packs the Bradley fieldhouse, 7,000 riotously cheering fans, followed the team 150 miles to Chicago.
What about the team that so inspired Central Illinois fans that last spring, within three weeks, Bradley fans pledged $227,000 on a 5-year season ticket plan to build the new $600,000 fieldhouse?
Well, Coach Anderson has virtually a nine-payer unit which goes at top speed all the way. Five of the Braves have scored more than 200 points to date, paced by All-American Paul Unrush's 414 points. The team has rolled up 2221 points for a 32-game average of almost 70 points a game, while yielding 1752 points, for a 55 average.
Coach Anderson's team employs a lot of pattern tactics, with close-in shooting accounting for most of the scoring. Bradley plays their opponents as they have to—matching a controlled game with a controlled game and a fast breaking offense with a fast break.
The hustling Braves are noted for the terrific perpetually-running pace they set that usually wears down opponents in the closing minutes of the game.
Unruh, a 6-foot 4-inch senior, is the greatest scorer in Bradley basketball history. He excels at the 440 in track and paces the "fire-wagon" high scoring Bradley attack. Listed as a center, Unruh actually is a "running forward." He is a deadly shot with either hand, but does the most damage with a 2-hand jump shot, virtually impossible to guard. Unruh has been listed as an unanimous choice on All-American selections this year.
Second in Bradley scoring with 383 points is Gene "Squeaky" Melichore, who, although he stands only 5-feet 8-inches, plays the pivot regularly. He is an excellent shot and an artful faker. Melichore was selected on the Missouri Valley all-conference team. He is often referred to as the "midget Mikan" of basketball.
Bill Mann, 6-foot 1-inch junior forward, is third among Bradley scorers but is noted primarily as a defensive rebounder and "quarterback" in setting up plays. He has scored 315 points and is one of the nation's top leaders in field goal percentage with a mark of 478 through the first 30 games.
Charley Grover, 6-foot 1-inch junior, follows with 252 points and Elmer Behnke, 6-foot 7-inch center who is the tallest Brave, with 204
Classes in Strong hall, annex E, have been going to the dogs for the past week. A collie dog, Pete, has been auditing classes there. As Mrs. Louise Cochran's 11 a. m. sociology class met Tuesday, Pete was noticed sitting in the back of the room. As Mrs. Cochran began lecturing, the collie's ears pricked up, and he listen attentively.
Pete The Collie Audits Classes
When the noon whistle blew, Pete walked slowly out of the room, allowing the other students to pass first. He then went into an economics class. As the economics lecture ended at 12:50, the dog ambled out of the building, and no one knew where he had gone.
But Wednesday the studious collie was back and going through the same routine. Thursday and today Pete skipped classes. Perhaps he decided that being a K. U. student isn't a dog's life after all.
points round out the top five scorers.
Aaron Preece has scored 176 points, topping 6-1-inch sophomore pivotman, has accounted for 94 points in 23 games.
Two more capable reserves are sophomore Fred Schlictunan and George Chianakas, one of four seniors on the squad. Things look bright for Bradley next year with only Unruh and Chianakas among the top nine players listed as seniors.
Judging from the above facts concerning the number one team in the country, K.U. will have to play top-flight ball for 40 minutes if they expect to defeat the victory-crazed Bradley Braves from Peoria, Ill.
Coach Allen's club certainly doesn't own an impressive season record (14-10), but don't let that throw you too far by the wayside. A closer check will indicate K.U. played some fine basketball during the last 14 games while winning 10 and losing four by a mere total of 11 points, including two overtime setbacks.
Regardless of season records, the game looms up as one of the most attractive to be staged in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium in recent years.
