Fightingest,Scrappiest Team Yet,' Promises Phog
By COOPER ROLLOW
Daily, Kids Sports Reporte
Kansas will have one of the scrappiest basketball teams in the Big Six this year, but will be hard-hit defensively, Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen said today.
"We are going to have the darnest, fighting最 team you ever saw," the Jayhawker coach predicted. "The boys will give everybody a good
argument. But just how far we'll go in winning I don't know yet."
The loss of such backboard stars as Charlie Black, Wendell Clark, and Ray Evans, may make the team this year a little weaker defensively than in the past, Dr. Allen said.
You can't take Black—who could control both backboards with equal ease—and two valuable rebound men like Evans and Clark away and not be weak in the guard position. The loss of these men has taken the heart right out of the team.
"But I'm not trying to sell the boys short. We'll be in there fighting for all we're worth. And we may be able to fashion a dangerous defense yet. Only time will tell; it's early yet."
Forty-five men, including 11 lettermen, have reported for basketball practice so far, Dr. Allen reported. Two more lettermen, Otto Schnellbacher and Hoyt Baker, are expected to report as soon as football season ends.
Lettermen reporting for the first practice Monday were Gene Anderson, Eugene Barr, Harold England, Myron Enns, Jack Eskridge, Claude Houchin, Max Kissell, Charles Penney, William Sapp, Gib Stranel, and Maurice Martin.
Four players out of last year's starting quintet will not be present when Kansas trots on the floor for the opening game against Emporia Teachers. Charlie Black, Owen Peck, and Wendell Clark have been graduated, and Ray Evans is rounding out his last semester at the University.
Otto Schnellbacher is the only starter left from the 1946-47 five which finished third place in the conference.
It's too early to make a prediction yet, but Dr. Allen believes Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado will be the league's strongest teams this year.
"After we have played the Big Six tournament in Kansas City we will know more about the relative strength of the conference," Dr. Allen remarked. "The tourney will give us a sneak-preview of what to expect in the regular season."
Dr. Allen looks for a return to more polished basketball from his players this year.
"Beginning this season we will begin playing good old-style Kansas basketball, instead of the slap-happy brand we had to use during the war when freshmen could play their first year.
"The re-institution of the freshman participation rule will provide better basketball for the fans. During the war we had to take whatever came in, and many times sent players out on the floor without the necessary training in fundamentals.
"Now the freshmen must undergo a one-year period of training before being allowed to participate in varsity competition, a better brand of basketball should emerge. It takes more than a few weeks to develop a scattered group of boys into a well - trained, well - coordinated team."
Hitt Returns From Vacation
Mr. James K. Hitt, University registrar, returned Tuesday from a two-week vacation.
Part of Mr. Hitt's vacation was spent at his home in Lawrence, and the remainder visiting with Mrs. Hitt's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Berkley of Hamlin.

Undefeated and untied college football teams after last weekend's games include Penn State, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Texas, Southern Methodist, Baylor, and California.
WREN will broadcast the Kansas State-Nebraska game from Manhattan at 1:45 p.m. Saturday.
Those eager Associated Press beavers have come up with another football poll, and if you look far enough down the line, you see that Alma Mater rates 26th—just below Utah, who romped over Denver last Saturday by a rousing 13 to 7. The University got four votes to Utah's seven.
Rated below the University were Iowa, Yale, Mississippi State, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Rutgers, Rice, and Catawba. Before it gets dizzy up here, look who's on top: Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, California, Illinois, Army, Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania, Penn State, Southern California—well, that's the top ten. There were fifteen more to go, but we went out for a cigarette.
Coach Bud Wilkinson of the Oklahoma Sooners is reported to be drilling the squad on pass defense in preparation for this weekend's encounter with T.C.U. We are waiting for an announcement from Dutch Meyer that the Horned Frogs are drilling on -well, just everything.
The Jayhawkers hit the heavy work today after having enjoyed two days' rest. They lay off for the weekend, and will tangle with Kansas State Nov. 1 here in Memorial stadium. It will be Dad's day in Lawrence, always a red letter day on the gridiron calendar.
One of the shining lights on the Wildcat team is Harold Howey, from Kansas City, Mo., who was third high scorer in the Big Six basketball competition last season. Injured late in the season last year, he underwent knee and elbow operations this summer.
Nine lettermen from last season's Kansas State basketball team and three from the war-time teams have reported to Coach Jack Gardner for the Wildcat's first basketball practices.
Others returning include forwards Rick Harman, Al Langton, Lloyd Krone, and Dave Weatherby; centers Clarence Brannum, and Jerry Patrick; and Jack Dean, guard.
Robert Ellis Scott, a student in the College in 1941 and 1942, appears in the film "Exposed" which is showing in Lawrence this weekend.
Mr. Scott is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ward Scott of Kansas City, Mo.
