Lovellette Has Received Landslide Of Publicity
Clyde Lovellette, the 6' 9" sophomore terror, is a rare specimen in Kansas basketball history. He already has received a landslide of publicity, yet is several weeks away from his Big Seven conference debut. For the record that will be January 6 against Oklahoma here.
Although the Jayhawkers have played two games, Lovellette will be unveiled before the home folks for the first time Saturday night when K.U. plays host to Purdue of the Big Ten in Hoop auditorium.
Big Clyde gave Jayhawker patrons a road preview last week-end by stacking in 14 points against Rockhurst in 28 minutes of play and doubling that total against Creighton before fouling out midway through the final half. Kansas split this pair, thumping Rockhurst, 55 to 34, and bowing to the hard-scrapping Bluejays, 55 to 59.
Three factors have led to Lovellette's whirlwind of press notes: 1) He is one of the greatest performers produced in Mid-west high school ranks. 2) He is the tallest man in K.U. hoop history, towering two inches higher than Al Wellhausen, the old goal-tender of the thirties and Gene Peterson, the poker-faced scoring machine who is now his senior teammate. 3) He prop in Phog. his rebuilding campus which is all being dominated by sophomores. The veteran Jay Hawley headman has even built a new Kansas offense around the 230-pound center, replacing his traditional three-out two-in style with a single post.
Lovellette is bound to gain another column or two of space as Allen hands down this statement; the looks like he will be as good as any guy.
The doctor has been around Mt. Oread 32 years and has unleashed some terrific rookie performers such as Charlie Black, now with Fort Wayne Zollners; Ray Ebling, who won the hoop scoring championship as a sophomore in 1934; and Ray Evans, who was chosen All-American in his first varsity season in 1942.
Allen elaborates to say that "Lovellette takes coaching well and promises to be a fierce competitor." If he continues to improve defensively and learns to sustain his rebounding power, especially against rival competitors of equal stature, the tremendous rookie should be a first class pivotal man by late season.
Lovelley earned all-state plaudits at Garfield high, Terre Haute, Ind., as a junior in 1947. His club lost to Shelbyville in the finals that year but the smiling center canned 25 points. He was so good the next season that he was included on the Hoosier all-star squad in the annual joust against Kentucky's best prepes even though his team didn't reach the state tournament semifinals. All-State men are picked from only the top four clubs in Indiana.
Clyde poured through 20 points in the 70 to 35 demolition of Kentucky although playing only a half. He hit the 35-point mark no less than six times in his interscholastic career. In three years he rimmed slightly more than 1400. He also earned prep letters in football as an end and baseball as a pitcher. As a Golden Gloves novice he went all the way to Chicago as a 15-year-old light-heavy after wading through local and state opposition.
This is the whelhorse the Purdeo boilermakers must hobble if they are to fell Allen's youthful troupe. The Jayhawkers are expected to lead with two other sophomores, Bill Hougland, 6' 4 inch, and Bob Kenney, husky 6' 2 inch forward.
Purdue opened with a 70 to 49 manhandling of DePauw and will rank a solid favorite. K.U. has some rebounding to do following its ambush at Omaha.
New York, Dec. 9 — (U.P.)—Charles (Bud) Wilkinson, 34-year-old pilot of unbeaten and Sugar bowl-bound Oklahoma, today was named "coach of the year" by the American Foot- Coaches association in a poll conducted by the New York World Telegram and the Scripps-Howard newspaper.
Wilkinson Chosen Coach Of The Year
Runners-up to Wilkinson with 69 votes was Lynn Waldorf, coach of unbeaten California, the Rose bowl team. Waldorf also finished second last year behind Bennie Oosterbaan and third behind Fritz Crisler of Michigan in 1957. Waldorf won the first "coach of the year" award in 1935.
The Sooners skipper polled 102 first place votes out of 382 ballots. He was named either first, second, or third, on 199 ballots, although many voters made only one selection.
Frank Leahy, coach of unbeaten Notre Dame, was third with 43 votes and then came Wesley Fesler of Ohio State with 27. Tuss McLaughry of Dartmouth received 26, and Ivan Williamson of Wisconsin, 24.
Rate May Rise For Kansas Phones
Topcka — (U.P.) — District t Judge Dean McFlenhoy heard testimony in the southwestern bell telephone company's application for an injunction to bar the state from enforcing existing rates.
If granted, the injunction would permit S.W.B. to put into effect immediately the higher service charges it claims is necessary to operate in Kansas at a fair profit return.
The move came after the Kansas Corporation commission continued indefinitely a company application for a $ 340,000 a year rate increase.
Southwestern Bell serves approximately 350,000 customers out of 143 Kansas exchanges.
