Wildcats Dominate All-Stars As Schnellie Is Picked Again
Kansas City, Mo., March 8—(UP)—Kansas State's champion Wildcats placed two and Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma one each on the Big Seven conference all-star team selected for the United Press by coaches, sports writers and radio broadcasters.
Big Clarence Brannum, a key figure in the conference race all season
and one whose last-second goals won two games for the titleholders. was placed at center and the brilliant Howard Shannon biggest vote-getter of all the athletes in the balloting, with a guard position for Kansas State.
Schnellbacher rounded out a brilliant career as a Jayhawk court star this season which landed him on his fourth conference all-star team. The Kansas forward has sparked a young Hawker team and has been among the Big Seven scoring leaders all season. Otto was third high in the balloting for this year's stars.
Roundout out the first team are forwards Thornton Jenkins of Missouri and Otto Schnellbacher of Kansas, and guard Paul County of Oklahoma.
Barely nosed out of a first team position was Dan Pippin, the Missouri forward. With Pippin on the second team are Howard Howey, forward, and Richard Harman, guard, of Kansas State; Bill Waters, center, Oklahoma, and Ray Wehdhe, the backbone of the Iowa State team.
Nebraska and Colorado both failed to land a man on either the first or second team, but Retherford of the Huskers and Besemann of Colorado were generally recognized for second team consideration and so head the "honorable mention" list.

3 Ignore Brannum
An oddity of the vote tabulation reveals three of the seven conference coaches ignored Brannum completely, but the K. State center carried enough first team ballots from others to nose out Pippin for the fifth and final position on the first team. Among the conference coaches who failed to vote for Brannum was Dr. F. C.' (Phog) Allen Jawhacker skipper.
Shannon and Courty were far in front in the race for guard positions, the former collecting 128 of a possible 160 points, only four more than his Oklahoma all-star teammate. Schnellbacher garnered 119 points to 116 for Jenkins, while Brannum's total was an even 100. Only Pippin of the second team members was a serious threat to Brannum's first队 berth.
Topeka, Kan., March 8—(UP) - Regional tournaments will be reeled off in three classes of Kansas High school basketball this week, with the teams that battled for the state high school title of 1947 meeting in the opening round.
Kansas Regionals Begin This Week
Either Wellington, last year's state champion in class AA, or Arkansas City, the '47 runner-up, will be eliminated in the first day's play at the Arkansas City regional Wednesday. It will be one of eight double-A tourneys throughout the state.
No matter which of the two 1947 finalists succeeds at Arkansas City, the state big school race has become an affair of the field against the Newton Railroaders. Newton, perennial producers of champions, seems to have outdone itself this year with a team that is the only unbeaten, untied class AA quintet in Kansas.

NAIB Tournament Opens Today
Kansas City, Mo., March 8-(UP) —Cage powerhouses from across the nation opened the 10th annual N.A.I.B. championship tournament today aiming for both a tourney title and a berth in the Olympics bracket.
Eight - game first-round cards were to be played both today and tomorrow, with the second-round of eight games scheduled for Wednesday.
A glance at the 32-team bracket showed that the week-long N.A.I.B tournament, organized by small state colleges, has graduated from the "little basketball" stage.
Entered were such teams as Brigham Young, Denver, Xavier of Cincinnati, University of Louisville, Manhattan college and Texas Wesleyan. Winner of the N.A.L.B's Olympic spot will be ousted against N.C.A.A. and New York Invitational tournament winners.
This year's N. A. I. B. meet will make history in that for the first time a Negro player will participate.
Clarence Walker of East Chicago, a substitute guard for Indiana State, is the only Negro registered for play in the meet. It was at the insistence of Manhattan college of New York—which will bring no Negro players to Kansas City—that the N.A.L. board of executive directors took a telegraphic poll of the racial issue.
The poll rescinded a rule that had barred Negroes from the tourney.
Advance ticket sales broke all previous records.

Spring Grid Drill To Start March 15
Coach Sikes was introduced personally to all freshman and varsity football players at a meeting in the stadium Saturday at 2 p. m. by athletic director E. C. Quigley. Coach Sikes then gave a brief talk to the men on football for the coming season and the importance of conditioning through running.
The tail southerner told the men that the offense for the coming season would be little different from that of the last two years, although he planned to alter it in some ways.
Horicon, Wis.—(UP)—Oliver O, Schmidt, 44, whose formal schooling ended with the fourth grade, has built one of Horicon's most imposing homes with his own hands. He said the most serious problem was building a straight three-flue chimney. But "a little preliminary figuring" took care of the matter.

Pick Referee For Relays
Frank Potts, veteran of Colorado university, track coach, was named to referee the twenty-third Kansas Relays to be held April 17, Bill Eston, director of the meet, announced today.
Potts, a one-time Missouri Valley pole vault record holder and two-time all-league halfback at Oklahoma, follows another Sooner, John Jacobs, now dean of Big Seven track tutors, who headlined the "Mt. Oread Olympics" last April.
Potts long has reigned as king of the Rocky Mountains, his teams having swept 10 consecutive conference titles in a row in the old seven-team wheel. He is past president of N. C. A. A. track coaches and considered one of the midwest's best mentors.
"We are happy to be able to honor the new member of our conference in this manner," Easton explained. "Frank is a fine addition to our conference coaching fraternity." Colorado began competition in the old Big Six with the opening of basketball season last December 1.
Two of his best known performers are Gil Cruter, present holder of the Kansas Relays high jump record of 6 feet 7 9-16 inches established in 1938, and Dave Bolen, one of the nation's top 440-yard hopes in the coming Olympics.
