'Phog' Allen Picks Oklahoma As Big 7 Basketball Champs
Oklahoma will win the Big Seven basketball championship this season. Dr. F. C. Allen, varsity basketball coach, predicted recently as he paused from his coaching duties readying the teams for the Freshman-Varsity exhibition game, Friday, Oct. 22, at Hoch auditorium.
The annual pre-season game is held in connection with the other
activities of Homecoming weekend to give the students and alumni a preview of the coming cage season.
Dr. Allen bases his selection of Oklahoma on the fact that Bruce Drake will have the entire first team returning from last year, plus the 6 foot 10 inch brother of John Friedburger, former Arkansas university and Phillips 66 great, who comes up from the freshman team. The younger Friedburger was one of the most sought-after prep school players in Texas history.
Kansas will have the same men returning for the coming season as in 1947, with the exception of spark-plug Otto Schnellbacher and Eskridge. Gene Peterson, 6 foot 7 inch Omaha boy who played a year to Nebraska before coming to Kansas to play on the 1946 conference championship team, will be back. While in the service in Japan, Peterson played on the All-Pacific championship team in 1947, and on the team which went to the finals in 1948.
Full radio coverage of Kansas basketball games was assured today as Ben Ludy, general manager of radio station WIBW, Topeka, announced that station would broadcast all games, at home and on the road.
Colorado and Missouri should fight it out for second place, Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, and Iowa State, will be too evenly matched to make a prediction, the Jayhawker mentor said.
Next year will see the decline of Oklahoma power because the greatest part of the starting lineup will graduate or end their eligibility, Dr. Allen believes.
Dale Engle and Clinton Bull, out-standing young players up from the freshman squad, should be a great help, Dr. Allen said.
Larry Ray will be at the microphone over the combined facilities of WIBW, WIBW-FM, and KCKN, KOZY, of Kansas City.
Rickert To Get Cut Of 'Series' Melon
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 15—(UP) Outfeller Marv Rickert, who filled in for the injured Jeff Heath for the Braves in the World Series, will receive a share of the Series money, Basball Commissioner A. B. Chandler promised today.
It took special action by Chandler to give Rickert the money, since the outfielder did not join the team until after the players had voted on the division of shares.

All Of Big 7 To Play
By THE UNITED PRESS
Two of the top teams of the Big-Seven conference, invade Eastern gridirons in a continuation of intersectional competition, and mighty Notre Dame travels to Lincoln, Neb., for a game with Nebraska in highlights of a five-game program this weekend.
Kansas, unbeaten in two conference starts and the present Big-Seven leader, opens the week's action tonight against George Washington university at Washington, D.C. All other games involving conference teams are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.
Missouri opposes Navy in a game that offers a renewal of football warfare between Mizzou's Don Faurot and Navy's George Sauer.
The Cornhuskers have their chance to match Missouri's upset showing against S.M.U. for they are 33-point underdogs against a Notre Dame team that hasn't been beaten in 21 games.
Two conference contests are on the schedule, in one of which Oklahoma's co-champion Sooners make their 1948 conference debut against Kansas State at Norman. The odds-makers have deduced that Oklahoma is the same 33-point Dame over K-State that Notre Dame is over Nebraska.
Colorado, which stunned conference followers with a 19 to 6 victory over Nebraska last week, clashes with Iowa State at Ames to complete the week-end activity. Iowa State is the pre-game choice.
Lansing—(UP)—When Jim Morris escaped from the Kansas State Penitentiary after serving 20% years, he made his get-away in a prison truck. The prison got its truck back after it was abandoned in Kansas City. First, though, it had to pay a $4 storage bill.

Northwestern over Michigan—the odds make Michigan a seven point favorite, mostly because of comparative victories over Purdue. Michigan won by 40-0 and Northwestern by 21-0, but it was Northwestern which broke Purdue hearts irrevocably after the Bollermakers lost by one point to Notre Dame. This game is strictly from flip, with the Big Nine title in the balance. With seven points it's a steal, maybe!
