Now That Coaches Feel Free To Talk-
Allen, Sauer Guess At Next Winners
Only once in any school year do coaches feel free to talk. That's when the season is complete and no careless phrase can work a jinx on "that game next week." As the ink dries on the 1946-47 Kansas record book, Jayhawker coaches have a short while now to breathe easily and recall the athletic campaigns of the past two semesters.
Football
Head football coach George Sauer in an interview named Ray Evans his out-standing back of the year and Don Fambrough his outstanding lineman. Trophies were awarded these two men at the close of the grid season.
The Jayhawk head man chose three games from the back-breaking Kansas schedule as top contests from his own viewpoint.
First, he named the opening scoreless tie with Texas Christian. Coach Sauer said that many pre-season questions were answered in this game: "How good is the Kansas line?" is "The Jayhawker passing attack as sharp as it looks?" "Has the team caught on to the T-formation?"
"After the T.C.U. game, the big question marks became smaller question marks," said the coach with a smile.
Experts Dope Us Wrong
Second, he picked the Oklahoma game because Kansas was doped by the experts to lose by four touch-downs. Instead, the Jayhawkers won, 16 to 13, on Paul Turner's field goal.
Third, he picked the final victory over Missouri. By beating the Tigers, 20 to 19, Kansas won a share of the Big Six title.
"The Missouri game was not as well played as some others, but the results were the sweetest of all," said Coach Sauer. "They were loaded for us at Columbia, but we gave them more to handle." MJU. Clash Drapestic
The Kansas grid boss chose the final series of plays in the Missouri clash as the most dramatic period in any game. For eight and one-half minutes, the Jayhawker team, outweighed 24 pounds to the man, pushed up field to retain possession of the ball till the final gun sounded.
The most exciting single play was Turner's field goal which beat Oklahoma. It traveled 41 yards through the air from a difficult angle as the rain and mud made hopes of success faint.
Other top plays named by coach Sauer were Ray Evans' touchdown gallop against Missouri and his long pass to Marvin Small for another score in the same game. Small's Catch Is Best
"That catch by Small was the best I've ever seen, and I used to room with Don Hutson," declared the Kansas coach.
He also spoke of the Evans to Schnellbacher to Bertuzzi pass-lateral play which scored on Oklahoma. He thought it one of the smartest pieces of work which appeared in any game during the season. Sauer Picks Sooners
Looking ahead to next year, coach Sauer picks the Sooners from Oklahoma to win the league title with the Missouri Tigers finishing second. He thinks his own club will battle Nebraska for the third spot.
Individuals which the Jayhawker coach indicated would have his special attention next fall are Joe Golding of Oklahoma and Dick Hutton of Nebraska. They must be held in check if Kansas hopes to upset either opponent.
Head basketball coach Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, when interviewed Monday, had special praise for three of his players. He spoke of the fine work of Charley Black, Ray Evans, and Otto Schnellbacher. He named Black as the outstanding defensive player which this section of the country has produced in many years, adding that "Charley has often been phenomenal on offense, too."
Basketball
After speaking of the never-say-die spirit which Ray Evans has injected into the team during his years of competition, Dr. Allen said: Schnellbacher To Be Back
"If Charley Black and Ray Evans had not been here when he was, Otto Schnellbacher would have been known as one of the greatest two-sport athletes in the history of the school. I'm very glad that he will be back for one more year of both basketball and football."
The Jayhawk cage coach chose the Missouri game at Columbia this year as the one contest he was most glad Kansas won. The Tigers were cocky. They had beaten Kansas at Hoch auditorium. But Howard Engleman took his men to Columbia determined to win the game, and they came back with a 48 to 38 victory.
The triumph was particularly gratifying to Dr. Allen because of the affair on the sidelines in the game at Lawrence, when "Sparky" Stalcup, Missouri coach, climaxed a verbal argument by giving the Kansas coach a shove. Free Throw. Wine It.
Next season will see a different type of Kansas team take the floor, Dr. Allen said. The Jayhawkers will return to the old ideals of headwork and cleverness instead of relying on physical power.
Dr. Allen chose the finish of the Arkansas game in Kansas City as the most thrilling moment. Otto Schnellbacher sank a free throw in the last 15 seconds of play to win for Kansas, 53 to 52.
"The Kansas team which is building up now will mark the rechristening of teamwork as the essential element in winning ball games. The squad will be young and colorful. Most of the men have played together before and have the spirit to mold a fighting, coordinated unit for next year."
Free Throw Wins It
Dr. Allen named Missouri as the team to win in the next conference besketball campaign, with Oklahoma and Colorado furnishing the strongest competition.
Coaches' views of the past season and future prospects in other school sports, track, baseball, tennis, and golf, will appear in tomorrow's University Daily Kansan.
