Dean Wells Figures As Potent Two-Sport Star Performer
Newest two-sport star on K.U.'s athletic horizon is Dean Wells, a slender 168-pound business major who looks more like he should be watching football and basketball instead of playing.
Wells, a sophomore from Great Bend, owns a rail-like physique scarcely cut to Big Seven specifications—168 pounds on a 6-foot frame.
The lithe 18-year-old has played in only three games for Phog Allen's cagers, but already has cut a secure niche for himself. But he's now definitely the number six man in Mt. Oread's sophomore - studded surprisers.
Of course, Wells hasn't arrived yet as a bona fide double-feature ace such' as Ray Evans, Otto Schnellbacher or Ralph Miller. But, for a sophomore, he is well on the way. He closed the 1949 football season as number one defensive right halfback and is certain to help the Allenmen down the stretch of another heated Big Seven hoop chase.
Oddly, Wells drew his first break in both sports because of injuries to the man ahead. When the veteran Cliff McDonald went out of the Oklahoma game last October with a fractured wrist, Wells stepped in to do a first class job against the rugged Sooners. The spot was his from then on. And he showed he could play the offense also.

here Jan. 27, Wells broke in to lead a late surge which propelled Kansas to a 67 to 43 victory. With four sophomores, including Wells, in the lineup, the Jayhawkers broke open what had been a close scrap by the Ravens against Iowa State's seven in the final 10 minutes of the game.
Wells scored a particular impression by filching the ball twice from Iowa State's fancy little guard, Don Ferguson, once pegging to Claude Houchin for a basket. He also turned in a nifty defensive job in guarding Drake's play-maker, Herb Rothbart here Jan. 30. "Wells is a hustling, aggressive basketball player," Allen will tell you. "He is the kind of a ball-hawk every coach looks for. He could be the spearhead of a fast break, which would help our offense. All he needs is experience. He will improve every game."
Wells got a late start on the court, spotting his rivals a month and a half of practice as he, of course, could not report until after football season. Just when he flashed signs of deserving a thorough trial he broke a finger in practice. Now he's caught up and will be difficult to keep out of a starting role.
Football coach J. V. Sikes calls Wells "a smart, alert football player a good open field tackler and sharp pass defender. We expect to use him a lot on offense next year, too." Coach Sikes emphasizes.
Wells' greatest assets are speed and quickness. He is downloor faster than any of his basketball mates. He analyzes and meets play situations exceptionally fast on the gridiron, as well.

Florida Is Destination Of Goat-Drawn Wagon
Dublin—(U.P.)—Charles McCartney is off to Florida in his special goat-drawn wagon.
The goat man said his animals have pulled him 80,000 miles. Only nine are out at a time, with the animals allowed to rest by trailing along behind.
Mr. McCartney says he can cover up to 20 miles a day. But because he loves his goats he generally lets them stop after 10 or 12 miles.

Lovellette has done it. He scored 30 points in the Colorado game to better the record of 326 points for an individual scorer in a season set by Charlie Black. Big Clyde is not only the leading Big Ten scorer on his way to lead the nation in this capacity. It must be remembered that the season is not over. This sophomore sensation may set a record that will not be touched in many generations of basketball to follow.
The word is that Kansas State's Gerald Hackney has dropped out of school this semester because of financial difficulties. Hackney also says his knee bothers him. In any event, he will still be eligible for football next season, much to the pleasure of Coach Graham.
Dr. Allen took oxygen tanks to Boulder for the Colorado game Monday night. At every time out, the K.U. cagers refreshed themselves by inhaling the stuff. It's difficult to play top flight ball in that mountain atmosphere when you come from the plains.
Pittsburg was still on top today in the C1C basketball basketball, but it faced three tough games during the week, one against its mortal enemy, Emporia State. Southwestern's Moundbuilders, underdogs of the conference, have suddenly come alive to defeat both Ft. Hays and Pittsburgh. The Builders play Washburn at Topeka Saturday night.
