UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIVE
By GEORGE BROWN. JR.
The Daily Kansan sports department received a new member during the holidays. Assistant sports editor Richard Dilsaver has taken a wife. She's the former Miss Charlotte Auston of Alexander, Kan. Lots of luck Mr. and Mrs. Dilsaver.
Big Clyde Lovellette, Jayhawker center, has proved he can stand offensively with any pivot man in the conference -Clarence Brannum included. Lovellette is also improving on defense with each outing. Clyde racked up 64 points in three tournament games to equal the record set by Oklahoma's Gerald Tucker in 1946. He now has a total of 197 points in 10 games for a 19.7 average.

Leonard Lewin of the New York Mirror has this to say concerning Dr. F. C. Allen and Lovellette in the Dec. 28 issue of The Sporting News.
"Take Kansas U's Phog Allen. Allen is forever blowing his Phog-horn in a self-appointed crusade to bring the fog-bound ship of righteousness safely to port. By continuously pounding at supposed breaches in amateur etiquette this collegiate Avery Brundage has influenced public opinion many times
"Mr. Allen sees to it that his reputation gets a frequent hypo. Last year he attacked the eligibility of Clarence Brannum. As a recent refresher Phog directed a blustery shot of the better-salaried football and basketball players. He screamed that the government should get after them for income tax evasion based on their 'earnings.'
"Some of Phog's steam is allowed to vanish into thin air. But divided as the anti-Allen forces have been as to whether it's better to answer his tirades or defeat his publicity-seeking aims with silence, they're united in their desire to hang him.
"They secretly hope Phog will do it in his own rope someday. They think he has now. They're so sure they've got him that our source of information said:
"If the N.C.A.A. doesn't do something about this there's going to be trouble.'
The 'this' is a seven-foot basketball player who answers to Clyde Lovellette. (Ed. Note: He's 6 feet 9 inches and spells his name with two l's.) He's 19 and a sophomore sensation at Kansas. They say he was so good in high school that he led his team's fast break, sometimes tapping in lead passes on the dead run.
"He was good. So good that North Carolina State flew him down for a tryout that resulted in his being barred in the final high school basketball season. (Ed. Note: He was barred from final high school basketball). So good that the Arthur Godfrey of basketball, Adolph Rupp, tried to get him for his Kentucky team.
"All the while. Indiana figured it
Flat Tire Saves Man From Falling Radiator
St. Paul,—(U.P.)—Stanley Capistrant tossed his newspaper aside and decided he had run out of excuses. It was time to fix that flat tire on his car.
Ten minutes after he left his basement apartment, a 300-pound ceiling radiator broke loose and fell.
It smashed the easy chair in which Capistrani had been sitting.
and first claim on the Terre Haute nome claim. But the Hoosiers and North Carolina lost him. And, of course, so did Rupp—snapping an historic consecutive streak for the Kentucky talent scout.
"Our spokesman for the anti-Allen forces wouldn't venture a guess as to how KU, hit the jackpot. All he knows is that the righteous Mr. Allen landed one of the most coveted high school players in the country. He'd like to have Mr. Allen explain how he did it, preferably outlining his procedure to the N.C.C.A.
"After all, beating Indiana or North Carolina State to a ball player like Lovellette wouldn't be astound- ing. But stealing a George Mikan- ish whopper from Rupp's net. . man, that's almost as impossible as our getting a loan from Britain."

From this angle the above English composition looks like a pretty rugged criticism from someone who's on the outside looking in. What do you think, folks?
Maybe the Kansas cure-all air sounds funny, but Lovellette sticks to the story as the truth. And as far as taking him from Rupp—the way we got it was that Rupp helped to land him at our institution. Ah well, every man to his own opinion.

Boston — (U.P.) — New England's only woman operator of a railroad turn-table is Mrs. Alice Butler, who moves 28,000 tons of railway equipment per day and also cares for her six children. "I have to do a man's job to earn enough money to look after my kids," explained this 35-year-old woman.
