Four Time All-Conference
Coming to Mt. Oread in 1942, Schnellbacher was chosen on all-conference basketball teams in 1942, '46, '47, and '48. He was named all-conference end in football in 1946 and 1947.
Eskridge again proved his mastery of the hook shot by flipping in 10 field goals. Coupled with two free throws, he led scorers with 22 points and reached a total of 73 points for the last three games. With seven field goals, Iowa State's Don Paulsen rated third among scorers. Sonny Ems of K. U. sank seven free throws in eight tries.
Jayhawkers Take Lead
Friday's victory, the first in 11 games, saved the Kansans from occupying the conference cellar alone. With a record of 4 victories against 8 losses, the Jayhawks share last place with Colorado. Geece Takeno had

a field goal to put the Jayhawkers back in the lead. After Paulsen flipped in two points, Schnell-bacher gave the Jayhawkers a 43 to 42 lead with a shot from the post and Kansas stayed out in front until the final gun.
Following the game, Schnellbacher was surrounded on the court by friends wishing to congratulate him and by young autograph seekers. Freshman Win Prelim
Although the game was fairly even until the final minutes of the last quarter, the freshman crew demonstrated a steadier brand of ball and finished with a comfortable margin. John Amberg led scorers with 13 points for the freshmen.
In a preliminary game, the K. U. freshman team defeated the Aces High, intramural champions, 33 to 26.
The Aces High trailed 16 to 18 at the half but managed to tie the score at 23 to 23 midway in the fourth period. However, Buddy Bull, Bill Champion and Amberg each hit for the freshmen late in the game to lead their team to victory.

'Cats And Cowboys Will Decide Tonight
The two top basketball teams in the Millands, Kansas State and Oklahoma A. and M., will lock horns tonight at 8 p.m. in Kansas City to determine the fifth district representative to the N.C.A.A. regional basketball play-off this week-end.
The Iba- coached Cowboys from Stillwater are champs of the Missouri Valley conference with a 27 to 3 won-lost record. Jack Gardner's Wideats, Big Seven titleholders, have won 20 and dropped four.
However, the Oklahomaans cannot be regarded as favorites, since they were defeated by the classy Wildcats in the only meeting between the two court giants this season. That was in the finals of the preseason tourney in Kansas City, which Kansas State won without too much trouble by a 50 to 43 count.
The Cinderella boys from Manhattan will be weakened by injuries of two of their stars, Dud Brannum and Hal Howey. Neither is likely to start, but both will probably see some action. The Cowpokes are at full strength for the contest.
