Call K. U. 251 With Your News
By BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Here are our all-conference selections. Read 'em and weep, or argue, as the case may be.
First team.
Forward—Paul Courty, Oklahoma—a deadly left-handed shot from anywhere on the court, now leading the conference in scoring. He can more than hold his own on defense, and is a fine rebounder.
Foward — Otto Schnellbacher.
Kansas—the most valuable player
to his team in the league. Schnell-
bacher is feared by every team on
the K.U. schedule for his offensive
power, and seldom is this fear mis-
placed. Otto also is a vicious rebounder despite his comparatively "short" 6 feet 3 inches.
Center—Thornton Jenkins, Missouri—always reliable in the clutches. Jenkins' 10-point average is built up by scoring very close to that figure in every game, not by averaging high and low scores. He literally interprets the term free shot, usually making it read free point.
Guard—Chuck Shannon, Kansas State—the Big Five player of the year for our money. Shannon, with four years of experience in the toughest amateur competition in the country, built up the reputation of a man to fall back on when the going is tough, and he certainly has lived up that to reputation this season. He has a knack of making points or blocking shots when those plays are needed most.
Guard—Rick Harman, Kansas State—a tough choice over Jerry Waugh of Kansas, Dan Pippin of Missouri, and Claude Rethferd of Nebraska, but our selection because of his outstanding brand of play. Harman has pushed enough points through the hoop to rank himself high on offense as well as gaining notice for his "clutch" performances.
Second team—Forwards, Claude Retherford, Nebraska, and Ray Whede, Iowa State; center, Clarence Ineligible” Brannum, Kansas State; guards, Jerry Waugh, Kansas, and Dan Pippin, Missouri.
Third team—Forwards, Kendall Hills, Colorado, and Jack Eskridge, Kansas; center, Don McMillen, Missouri and Dick Schleiger, Nebraska (tie); guards, Paul Merchant and Kenny Pryor, Oklahoma.
