Black Schnellbacher Take Forward Posts on United Press All Big Six

Kansas City, Mo. (UP)—The University of Kansas' conference basketball champions—unbeaten in 10 league games—placed two men on the United Press 1946 All-Big Six five today, with Oklahoma, Iowa State and Kansas State each gaining a first team berth.
The mythical all-league selections were made by a poll of member school basketball coaches and sports writers.
Selectors this year didn't have any problem in nominating Charley Black, angular All-American forward from Kansas, as the midland conference's outstanding player, but they were divided in placing second-semester returned servicemen stars either on the first or second teams.
More than one selector pointed out that if returned war veterans, no matter how briefly they performed, were being judged in the balloting that Ray Evans, Kansas, and Thornton Jenkins, Missouri, would have to be rated first team berths. Both were seasoned performers before entering the armed forces and seemingly picked up where they left off this season in aiding their respective teams. Evans, particularly, aided the Jayhawks in their stretch drive to the conference flag.
It was decided, in all fairness to the players who performed most of the playing season, that these returned war veterans wouldn't be injured in the final selections.
Black was an unanimous choice for an all league forward post, who missed tying Oklahoma's Gerald Tucker's conference scoring record 175 points by two points. Theimer six-feet-four-inch air force pilot was recognized as the top best rebounder and his "throw it" drew the most fouls.
Otto Schnellbacher, another rearmed war veteran and a teammate Black's at Kansas, was picked to trol the other forward post on the first five. A big, durable athlete with keen competitive spirit, Schnellbacher regained his pre-war scoring in late season games to give the Kansas team a well-rounded scoring fence.
Jim Stark, Iowa State freshman scoring leader, and Gib Stramel, who departed for sea-duty in mid-season, both were judged high for a forward berth.
Dave Weatherby of Kansas State moved up from the second team all-star team last year to a first team post at center. A former air force member, Weatherby knows how to use his six-four-inches and was a standout with a poor team.
Paul Courty, Oklahoma, who alternated between a forward and enter the season, was moved to a guard berth on the first team with Bob Petersen of Iowa State. Capt.ack Landon, Oklahoma, narrowly missed gaining a first team nomination and Jay Payton, Kansas State, was rated behind the Sooner defensive giant.
Courty was a rugged rebounder and chief Oklahoma scoring threat with his accurate jump-shot, while etsersen played a firebrand game for the Cyclones to spark the Iowaaters during the season.
Three men, Courty, Stramel and Petersen, were ranked as the conference leading freshmen performers this season, in a year of outstanding basketball competition.

What's Proper's Proper But Proper's Improper
Chicago, (UP)—Charles Proper,
28, found a lunch box under his streetcar seat and began nibbling on a sandwich.
Conductor Charles Cox, who owned the sandwich, tried to snatch it away. Proper threw the box the length of the car, spilling sandwiches on passengers.
In the ensuing struggle with Cox and Motorman Mathias Speigler, Proper punched Cox in the jaw, Speigler in the eye, and smashed eight windows with his fists. Then he jerked the bell cord loose.
Allies Take Over Bali
He fled the streetcar and was found by police hiding under an automobile a block away. His feet were sticking out.
Judge N. J. Bonelli, imposing a $50 fine, told Proper his conduct "highly improper."

Cindermen Take Fifth In Big Six Meet
The Jayhawk cindermen, competing without the services of three star performers, scored $12\frac{1}{2}$ points to take fifth place in the Big Six indoor track and field meet in the Kansas 'City Municipal auditorium, Saturday. Iowa State tallied 44 points to win their third consecutive Big Six indoor track crown.
Hal Moore, unbeaten in Big Six competition, was unable to attend the meet because of a navy restricition. Johnnie Jackson, who has broken a record in every meet this season in the 440, had a severe cold and doctors would not permit him to compete. Bob Stoland, returning veteran who held the Big Six high jump record, was unable to participate in this event or complete his trials in the broad jump because he pulled a muscle in his leg in the preliminaries Saturday afternoon.
Tom Soofeld turned in the best performance for K.U. when he broke Stoland's record in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet 3 inches, only to have Feeken of Iowa State better

the new mark with 6 feet 4 inches.
This was Scofield's third appearance,
and the second record he has broken
since returning to school.
Hal Hinchee defeated Dean Kratz of Nebraska for the second time this season to take second place in the half mile. Leroy Robison won second in the shot put to add points to the Kansas total.
The Kansas mile relay team was considerably weakened by the loss of Jackson and took fourth place. Mel Stevens placed third in the broad jump with a leap of 21 feet, $11^{\frac{1}{2}}$ inches. Pederson of Iowa State set a new record in this event with a leap of 24 feet 1-8 inches. Dick Shea, running the quarter mile open for the first time Saturday, placed an easy fourth in that event.
The Jayhawker thinclads will compete in the Purdue Relays, Lafayette, Ind., March 23. A stiff schedule of outdoor meets follows with several home meets. The Kansas Relies will be held April 19-20.
Scene from "Life with Father," America's all-time comedy hit, now in its seventh year on Broadway. Pictured here are Wallis Clark and Lily Cahill, currently starring,
"WHERE ARE THIS MONTH'S BILLS?"
"Speaking of money," Father thundered,
"where are this month's bills?"
"Clare," Vinnie pleaded, "it isn't fair to go over the household accounts while you're hungry!"
POOR VINNIE! Was ever any wife so stormed at? How Father raged over the bills she ran up! But our guess is that if laughable, lovable Clare and Vinnie were keeping house today, one bill wouldn't bother him. . . . That's the electric bill.
For Father was a thrifty man. "Vinnie," he used to roar, "this is a matter of dollars and cents, and that's something you don't know anything about." But he knew about it. And he would have appreciated the fact that while the prices of most things went way up in war years, the average price of electricity actually came down. Plus the fact that the average family gets twice as much electric service for its money today as it did twenty years ago.
Being a practical man, Father would have realized the reason why. As he used to shout at Vinnie, "You know I like to live well, and I want my family to live well. But this house must be run on a business basis."
And that's exactly how your electric light and power companies are run. On a business basis. Almost certainly, America's Favorite Stage Character would have applauded America's business-managed, self-supporting electric companies.
