Meet The 1948 Jayhawkers-
Tomlinson—Rugged Guard
Dick Tomilinson, 200 - pound Jayhawker guard, is rated as one of the best linemen in the Big Seven conference. In 1947 he was regarded by coaches and sports writers as the best sophomore lineman in the Midlands.
Opposing teams consider the rugged guard a dangerous blocker and one of the fastest linemen in the league. Dick was a key figure in the Mt. Oread line the past weekend when the Jayhawkers defeated George Washington university. He was consistently in on the tackles that kept the Colonials scoreless.
Dick entered the University in the fall of 1946. He is a junior in physical education and hopes to receive a coaching position in some
high school after his graduation next year. Although he was a starter in several games last season, he first broke into the Kansas lineup as one of the top two guards in Kansas' championship battle with Missouri.
While attending high school in Dodge City, he received nine letters. As a high school sophomore he lettered in track, but he changed to baseball in his junior and senior years. He was a three-letterman in both football and basketball. In the latter sports he was named on the Southwest Kansan All-star team for two consecutive years. He was chosen fullback on the third string of the All-state football team in his senior year.
Court Preview Friday Night
For the past two summers he nas played first base on the Dodge City Ban Johnson baseball team. Dick is 20 years old and married.
The 1948-49 Jayhawker basketball team will make its first appearance at Hoch auditorium Friday night when they meet the freshman team in the traditional pre-season contest.
The freshmen will be going after their first win over the varsity, a feat which the past freshman squads have been unable to accomplish since the beginning of the contests.
Sparking the varsity attack will be returning starters from last year's squad such as 6 foot 4 inch Claude Houchin, hero of last year's Oklahoma game, Jerry Waugh, the defense artist, and Bill Sapp.
Harold England will be a probable starter. England has performed very well in practice games and his left hand hook shot will be a prime factor in the varsity attack. Gene Peterson, 6 foot 7 inch Nebraskan will make his first appearance before most of the students at K.U.
Also marked for action are Guy Mabry whose last second shot in the Oklahoma game sent it into an overtime, Maurice Martin, Charles Penny, George Greer, who has just returned from service, Joe Dummire, and Stoney Wall.
Last year's freshmen who will make their first appearance will be Clinton "Bud" Bull, Bill Champion and Don Stickrod.
Sasnak Is Reorganized
Sasnak, the physical education organization, is active again. Discontinued during the war, it was reorganized last year.
"A record of 232 students have enrolled in physical education this year and 232 members for Sasnak is our goal." LaVaughn Hodgson, education senior, president, said today.
Sasnak was originated and named in 1940 by Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, head basketball coach, Sasak, Kansas spelled backwards, was a movement to stimulate interest in physical education as a major.
Faculty sponsors include Henry Shenk and Miss Joie L. Stapleton, associate professors of physical education, and Reginald R. Strait, assistant professor of physical education.
Sasnak will sponsor a "coffee and doughnut" greeting for alumni 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday in Robinson gym.
Future activities include a banquet in November, a Christmas party, and roundtable discussions of problems pertinent to physical education majors.
In addition to Miss Hodgson, president, Sasnak officers include Russell L. Sehon, education senior, vice-president, and Jeanne Cooper, education senior, secretary and treasurer.
