UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
DECEMBER 16. 1946
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
The Jayhawkers now have a record of four wins and a loss, that defeat being to S.M.U. Saturday.
The S.M.U. game was certainly no disguise to anyone. The Mustangs have a good, tall team, with several outstanding players.
Black was injured and wasn't at his full effectiveness. Even so, he played a great game, but at full strength he might have been phenomenal.
Kansas was playing its four game in four days. In three of the games, the opposing center was 6 feet 9 inches or taller. Each opponent had at least one man taller than Kansas' tallest player.
We don't think they could beat Kansas again, but we'll probably never find out for sure. Our reasons for believing so are reasonable enough. They are:
Southern Methodist had had little trouble the night before against Kansas State, while Kansas had almost burned itself out against Arkansas.
In each of the three earlier games, Ray Evans and Wendell Clark played between 35 and 40 minutes. That's enough to tire out anyone.
Charley Black, great Kansas forward, played one of the best games of his career against S.M.U. Not only did he put in 19 points on his own, but he fed constantly, and was a main cog in setting up plays.
His defensive play against a man five inches taller was spectacular, and he held his opponent to two goals and eight points.
Ray Evans, as usual, refused to give up, even though he was so tired he could hardly move. Wendell Clark showed the same fighting spirit in the same situation. Both players had put in over 110 minutes of actual playing time in the days previous to the finals.
Against Arkansas, the same was true for all five. Black so consistently outjumped 6-foot 10-inch George Kok that the spectators were astounded. Charley took many rebounds, high passes, and both center tips from the Razorback giant.
Owen Peck and Otto Schnellbacher were constant sparkplugs and were key men in the Kansas rally against Arkansas. Peck's shrill voice pepped up the game even when Peck himself was not in the lineum.
Kansas had the only organized cheering of any of the teams in the tournament.
. . .
Alberta Cornwell, K.U. cheerleader, made an appeal to Kansas students and grads to give out with regular yells, including the famous "Rock Chalk." She and Virginia Urban, another cheerleader, led cheering throughout the final game.
Tournament roundup:
Southern Methodist—first place—A fast, rangy team which should go well in its own conference. The Mustangs hit a good percentage of shots in all games, and looked good all the way.
Freshman guard Bob Prewitt, not a spectacular player, was a rock on defense and had only 11 points scored off him in three games.
Kansas—second place—The Jayhawkers look like another great team. Two grid men, Schnellbacher and Evans, with only a week of practice, are already showing signs of championship play.
The Jayhawkers were obviously worn out by the time they got to the finals, or the story might have been different
Kansas State—third place—The surprise team of the tournament. Probably won't finish in the Big Six first division, but may throw the race into a scramble by upset victories. The Wildcats look like an un-and-down team to us.
Arkansas—fourth) place—Another

Eight Teams Win I-M Games Friday
Three intramural basketball games were decided by a grand total of 5 points Friday. Delta Chi eked out a one-point decision over the 1934 Club,*28 to 22. Delta Tau Deltai gained a one-goal margin over the Weiks, 30 to 28. The Wicked Seven outpointed Smith hall, 29 to 27.
At the other extreme, Triangle ran up a 45 to 13 score on the A.T.C. Club. Warners of the losers took high point honors for the contest with 10 counters.
Mason of Alpha Tau Omega scored 16 markers to annex high total honors for the night as his team defeated the Live Five. 39 to 26.
In another one-sided contest, Sigma Phi Epsilon rolled over the 1126 Club 42 to 12. Pi Kappa Alpha defeated the Pharmacists 36 to 19.
Phi Kappa gained a 1 to 0 forfeit victory over L.S.A.
third place game.
Missouri-seventh place--The Tigers played like a seventh-place club all through the tournament, but might snap out of it during regular season play. Right now, they seem to be a team of individualists.
Nebraska—sixth place—The Cornhuskers need a scoring punch. A good defensive team, Nebraska lacks a spark-plug player which might make it a title threat.
Tucker came out of his one-man-team theory in the final game long enough to feed off a lot of goals. The Sooner first five hit 19 out of 36 shots from the field against Nebraska.
Oklahoma—fifth place—The Sooners were victims of a Kansas State "hot day" in the first round, but showed signs of greatness in the consolation bracket.
Iowa State —eighth place —Although the Cyclones didn't win a game, and missed a deplorable number of shots against K.U., they still are a team to watch. They have everything except co-ordination, and that may come overnight. Our Cycleone pick is for a first-division berth in the Big Six.
Ritter Manages Art Gallery
Chris Ritter, '31, is the manager of the Laurel art gallery in New York City where the paintings of Edgar Stareck, 40, are being shown. Mr. Ritter opened the gallery this fall.
Black, Schnellbacher Tourney All-Stars
Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The University of Kansas basketball team, runnerup in the Big Six conference pre-season tournament during the weekend, placed two men on the all-star quintet chosen by coaches and sports reporters.
Charley Black and Otto Schnellbacher were the Kansans chosen, along with Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma, Tommy Tomlinson, Southern Methodist university, and Alvin Williams, Arkansas.
The Methodists, who won the title, got two men on the second five—Burt Rollings and Roy Pugh. Others were Thornton Jenkins, Missouri, Harold Howey, Kansas State and Ray Evans, Kansas.
Tucker was the tournament's high scorer, with 64 points in three games. Black was second with 45. Jim Myers, Iowa State, and Williams, Arkansas, had 41 apiece.
Kramer, Parker Will Lead U.S. Davis Cup Team
Melbourne, Australia. (UP)—Jack Kramer, Frank Parker, Ted Schroeder, and Gardnar Mulloy were chosen today as members of the U.S. Davis cup team which will challenge Australia for the famed tennis trophy. The Aussies chose John Bromwich, Adrian Quist, Dinny Pails, and Colin Long.

JET DESIGNER
The Story of ALAN HOWARD
PURDUE '27
IN CHARGE of a group of G-E gas-turbine engineers and technicians, Alan Howard has directed the design and development of two General Electric engines that are today powering some of our fastest planes.
One, the Propiet, is the first propeller drive gas turbine in the world. Alan's second design, the T-G 180, is a pure jet engine, a departure from earlier jets in that it is designed on "axial-flow" principles which make possible a super-streamlined shape.
Gas-turbine engineering is, of course, a highly specialized field. Alan, however, is thankful today not so much for any special knowledge he learned in college, but for the solid understanding of engineering fundamentals which he gained as he worked for his B.S. degree at Purdue.
When, in 1941, Alan Howard undertook the design of the Propjet and the axial-flow engines, this sound training in engineering principles, followed by his years of practical experience with G.E., fitted him well for success.
Next to schools and the U. S. Government, General Electric employs more college engineering graduates than any other organization.
After graduating in electrical engineering at Purdue, Alan came on "Test" with G.E.
Today he designs engines like the Propiet, which provides both propeller-drive, jet thrust. It may power tomorrow's giant airliners.
