UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MARCH 21,1947
Bv BILL CONBOY
The recent Class AA state high school basketball tournament held in Emporia was one of the best ever if the reports of students who saw the contest are true.
Wellington defeated Arkansas City, 38 to 30, in the finals to capture the title. The 16-team bracket was more uniformly strong from top to bottom than any previous state play-off according to the coaches who participated.
Bob Dellinger, a member of the Daily Kansan sport staff, attended most of the play in Emporia, including the championship game. He returned with the belief that the sports writers who picked the tournament all-state team had neglected several of the really outstanding performers.
The second team all-state selections of the scribes are: Forwards—Gordon of Topeka and Amberg of Shawnee Mission. Guards—Doherty of Ward and Lienhard of Newton. Center—Clay of Arkansas City.
The writers' all-state first team is Forwards—Mitchell of Arkansas City and H. Rogers of Wellington. Guards—Moran of Newton and Way of Shawnee Mission. Center—Barrett of Wellington.
Dellinger objected to the fact that the first team was comprised almost wholly of centers of the respective teams. Barrett, Moran, and Way all play the pivot position. Mitchell jumps center for the Arkansas City five, though moving to a forward spot on offense.
To give all-state selections a Daily Kansas touch, Dellinger offers the following selections of his own:
First team: Forwards—H. Rogers of Wellington and Mitchell of Arkansas City. Guards—Sanderson of Newton and Rutter of Arkansas City Center—Barrett of Wellington.
Second team: Forwards-Clay or Arkansas City and Gordon of Topeka. Guards-G. Rogers of Wellington and Lienhard of Newton Center-Moran of Newton.
In this way, defensive ability and ball handling skill could come in for fair consideration. Too often the leading shot maker of a team obscures the skill of a teammate who sets up the scoring plays.
The above two qualities give ticular emphasis to the abilities of the men to play a particular position. Instead of choosing the five top scoring stars, Dellinger chose what he considered the two best forwards, the two slickest guards, and the outstanding center.
Dellinger also listed the leading individual stars in the various departments of court play.
Best shots—H. Rogers of Wellington, Clay of Arkansas City, and Moran of Newton.
Best rebounders-Barrett of Wellington, Johnson of Lawrence, and Clav of Arkansas City.
Best defensive men—Rutter of Arkansas City, Tomlins of Wellington, and Wav of Shawnee Mission.
Best ball-handlers-Sanderson of Newton, G. Rogers of Wellington, and Wav of Shawnee Mission.
Best cage strategists—Floyd of Wellington, Reade of Shawnee-Mission, and Wesche of Arkansas City.
Intramural Track Meet To Be Held Next Week

That First Step's Rough
Barnesboro, Po. (UP) — Hughie McCloskey mistook a restaurant door for a washroom entrance, fell down a dark stairway and landed with a cushioning effect on a sleeping dog. Injuries to McCloskey and the dog were minor.
John Jacobs, K.U. Relays Referee Was Track Novice Before College
John Jacobs, University of Oklahoma track coach and referee for this year's Kansas Relays, never saw a track meet until he arrived on the Sooner campus in 1910.
The dean of Big Six track coaches was born in Texas and went to high school in Mangum, Okla., where his only athletic interest was baseball. After enrolling at Oklahoma, Jacobs became so bored with his physical education classes that he turned to $ \textcircled{8} $ track and field events for recreation!
He became the greatest track star Oklahoma university ever produced. By the time of graduation, he was the holder of school records in the high hurdles, low hurdles, broad jump, and high jump.
He also ran the number one leg on the all-victorious Oklahoma dirt track mile relay team. This team never lost a race during the time Jacobs was in school.
Jacobs once tied the world's record of 15 seconds flat for the 120 yard high hurdles when running in an exhibition race on a sandy track at Weatherford, Oklahoma, in 1914.
He broadjumped 23 feet, 4 1-2 inches with only a 50-foot run and highjumped 6 feet 1 1-2 inches during his college competition. Both marks were among the top performances of that day. The Oklahoma students were so impressed that they contributed to a fund which sent him by train to San Francisco for the World's Fair Decathlon in 1915.
Upon graduation, Jacobs coached the Sherman, Texas, high school football team, crowning the season by winning the state championship in a playoff series. He came to the Sooner campus as track coach in 1922.
Jacobs is the first Big Six coach named to referee the Kansas Relays since the late Henry Schulte of Nebraska officiated in 1937. The Relays will be held April 18 and 19 in Memorial stadium.

Sabine Issues Copies Of Tennis Handbook
Gordon Sabine, tennis coach who doubles as a journalism professor, released the first copies of his new handbook, "Advanced Tennis Tactics," today.
The 50-page book includes analysis chart for opponents, and is believed to be the first written exclusively on the advanced court tactics of the game. It is the first published by a Jayhawker coach since Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Basket put together his "Better Basketball" in 1937.
Professor Sabine's book contains nothing on the mechanics of the game, but answers such questions as "the best reply to drop shots," "what to do of your serve is hitting the net," and "how to get back on during an off day."
The first few copies of the book are mimeographed, forerunners of a complete printed edition.
Professor Sabine, who turned pro at 19, led Kansas to the Big Six title last spring in his first year as Jayhawker net coach. He formerly served as a tennis instructor at Wisconsin university.
