Coach Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's 1949-50 Jayhawkers, featuring three tall sophomores in the starting lineup, open their cage season against the Kansas yearlings tomorrow at 9 p.m. in Hoch auditorium following the 1949 Jayhawk Follies, a pre-game homecoming rally.
The Varsity is expected to have little trouble in downing the younger Jayhawkers, coached by Dick Harp, and should be in command from start to finish.
Dr. Allen's starting lineup, featuring three cagers six-foot five-inches or taller, is the tallest Kansas team ever to take the Hoch auditorium court. Jerry Waugh, six-foot junior, will start at one of the forward spots and the other player under the six-five mark is sophomore guard Bill Hougland, a six-foot four-inch boy.
Four of the Varsity starting positions look to be fairly well established, while the fifth starting nod is in the balance and a highly contested battle is in progress for this position. Bob Kenney, six-foot two-inch forward, is engaged with forward Bill Lederlius, a five-foot set-sharp artist, for this fifth spot. Pushing both these players is letterman Harold England, deadly lefthander from Halstead.
The Varsity started practice on Nov. 17 and have shown steady improvement since that date. The squad is long on hustle, and has plenty of speed to go along with their excellent physical qualifications.
General admission to the basketball game will be 50 cents. A 30 minute intermission will follow the Follies so that those who wish to attend the game may purchase tickets.
The Varsity however must improve their defense to become contenders for this year's Big Seven championship crown. This holds true especially for the sophomores.
The other backline assignment will go to Claude Houchin, six-foot five-inch senior. "Houch" should be the club's foremost candidate for all conference honors.
Clyde Lovellette, six-foot nine-inch 255 pound sophomore center, is a definite fixture in the pivot slot. This former Indiana all-stater is one of the finest "big men" prospects that the conference has seen in many years. He is very fast for his size, aggressive rebounder, and
Varsity players expected to see action on the number two unit against the freshmen are: Jack Carby, six-foot seven-inch sophomore center; Gene Peterson, six-foot seven-inch senior forward who was second in league scoring last year; Buddy Bull, junior forward, Dale Engel, junior guard, and Maurice Martin, senior who plays either guard or forward.
an excellent shot off the post. This giant will deal out plenty of headaches for opposing coaches and players.
Harp's yearlings are rather small physically, but strong on hustle and better than average on ball handling and team play. Biggest handicap is the absence of tall personnel. Biggest man in the starting lineup is center Wally Beck, six-foot three-inch former Shawnee Mission all-around athlete.
Failure to gather in their share of the rebounds will probably limit the freshmen's offensive play and keep them on the run most of the game.
