18 Lettermen Expected Back For First Spring Grid Drills
At least 18 lettermen from the 1947 Orange Bowl finalists are expected to report to K. U.'s new football coach, J. V. Sikes, when he opens spring practice March 30.
This veteran group includes five line regulars plus quarterback Red Hogan and four who shared varsity time at fullback and right half. Marvin Small, left end, Don Fambrough, left guard, Dick Monroe, center, Dick Tomlinson, right guard, and Hugh Johnson, right tackle, are returning linemen.
In the backfield it's Hogan, Frank Pattee and Forrest Griffith, full-backs, and Bud French and Dick Bertuzzi, right halves.
Dave Schmidt, twice all-Big Six end, will miss spring drills but will be on deck for his fourth season next autumn. The nifty 155-pound wingman was a standout against Georgia Tech New Year's Day.
Other lettermen expected to be on hand for spring drills are Ralph Brown, second string center; Jack Fink, reserve guard; Ed Lee, tackle;

Cliff McDonald, right half; Charlie Moffett, reserve left half; Tom Scott, who substituted at left half and quarter last year; Bryan Sperry, right end, and Ken Sperry, reserve at either guard.
Rav Evans Missing
Among the missing will be Ray Evans, all-American left halfbacks; Lynne McNutt, 1946 all-Big Six quarterback; tackles Terry Monroe and Steve Renko, and guard Joe Crawford, all of whom have used up their eligibility. Evans and McNutt were graduated at mid-semester.
Also to be lost are Otto Schnell-bacher, all-American end, and Hoyt Baker, veteran fullback, who are working toward graduation in June although they have another season of football eligibility. Tackle Don "Red" Ettinger already has signed with the New York Giants although he also could have played one more season under conference rules.
Sikes will have plenty ofatching to do on a club that has shared the conference title for the past two seasons with Oklahoma. There are a few good prospects coming up from the freshmen, but scarcely anything to replace Evans and Schmullbacher.
Fischer. Medrein To Help
The Jayhawkers will get a lift from non-freshman sources in Howard Fischer, 1943 varsity center, and Willie Modricn, transfer halfback from St. Mary's. Fischer missed last season but owns three more years of competition. Modricn played a year and a half on the

coast and will not be eligible until mid-season.
Sikes, and his new assistants, Norman Cooper, line coach from Vanderbilt, and Cliff Kimsey, a former all-Southeastern quarterback at Georgia, know very little about their own personnel.
The new head coach took one look at fullback Gene Sherwood's stocky build and immediately tabbed him for a trail in the line during spring practice. As a fullback the burly 200-pounder from Sublette played behind Pattee and Griffith last season, seeing only limited action. However he is rated a capable performer and Sikes hopes to utilize
New York, March 17—(UP)—St. Louis university's bounding Billikens were favored by the slim margin of a single point over New York university tonight for the National Invitational basketball tournament title and a berth in the U.S. Olympic trials.
Billikens Play NYU Tonight For Spot In Olympic Trials
That's how close this "natural" shaped up between the home town Violets, who have shuttled between brilliance and mediocrity all season long, and the slick Mid-Westerners, who have captivated the hearts of New York fans like no other out-of-town team.
In a consolation opening contest, Western Kentucky, which was eliminated in the semi-finals by St. Louis, was favored by two points over DePaul of Chicago, which met its master in the "Violent Violets."
As far as the Billikens were concerned, the blaze crowd of 18,500 fans who tax the seating capacity of Madison Square garden would be looking for another of the classy exhibitions or basking in the St. Louisians in their triumphs over Bowling Green and Western Kentucky.
The unpredictable Violets, minus the services of their star set-shooting and playmaking guard, Don Ferman, remained an enigma. They were deemed lucky to pull their quarterfinal clash against Texas out of the fire in the closing seconds, 45 to 43, but gained prestige with an inspired 72 to 59 triumph over De-
his ability up front.
To Introduce New 'T
Aside from this probable switch and the fact that Sikes will install his own version of the T-formation complete with a versatile passing attack, there is no forecasting April developments.
"We, of course, know little about the boys right now," Sikes pointed out. "We expect to learn a lot about potentialities in spring practices."
Sikes also will welcome a herd of 40 freshmen numeral winners. These include ends Dave Fischer, Shenel Garnett, Al Lowrie, Lyn Smith, Jim Retter, Glenn Starber, and Tom White.
Tackles are Hally Broot, Mike McCormack, Dunne Kimball, Jim Mooney, and Victor Nally, and guards include John Idoux, Douglas Wall, Forrest Noll, Matt Rodina, and Dolph Simons.
At the pivot position are Jack Faerber, Bob Wolfe, John Euliek, Phil Hawkins, Jim Lord, and Ken Medearis.
Backfield prospects bring out John Amberg, Don Wilson, John Goodson, Henry Lamping, Bill Reinders, Wade Stinson, Gene Cox, Al Krause, Ernest Meis, Bob Near, Fred Reith, Jack Bushno, Dee Roy, Jack Griffith, and Jim Sackrider.
