FRIARRY 18, 1946
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen finally won a popular contest when a recent Esquire poll rated him as the No. 2 basketball coach in the nation.
Ward "Piggy" Lambert of Purdure received the crown for the No. 1 man in basketball. Lambert is chief instrument of attack in the Western conference as "Phog" is in the Big Six conference.
Among the players listed in the poll were Hank Lusetti of Stanford at the top, plus Nat Holman, Chuck Hyatt, and George Mikan.
Another Kansas man listed on the honor roll this weekend was George Gear, the freshman from Hutchinson, who is the first Kansas freshman to play regularly on Jayhawk basketball and football clubs since 1905.
Gear, who got a late start in basketball because of football season, wasn't "discovered" on the court until the conference season started. Since then, he has been in the starting lineup several times, alternating with Peck at center.
Although he isn't big—he stands at 5 foot 10 inches, weighs 170 pounds—he faces his opponents with a calm athletic mind and a pair of ready hands. He was captain of the All-State football team last year. He also is maintaining a 2.8 scholastic average for his first year in college.
Meet Your Team. Eugene Barr flew 17 missions over Italy before joining the Jayhawker basketball
club. He dropped the caption of first lieutenant when he left the army and now enjoys being addressed as "B.B." El Dorado Junior college was the scene for his early basketball playing and the two years that he played there on championship twice, in addition to best
ketball. Barr clips the nets close in tennis and enjoys Robin Hood's specialtv—archery.
Slated as a guard for the Jay-hawkers, he is a good rebounder and clutch goal shooter. Vital statistics show him to be 6 feet 2 inches and to weigh 180 pounds. He is one of the three married men on the quintet.
Barr is a junior in the School of Engineering.
Hoyt Baker, another 1943 court star, was suited up for the Nebraska game but saw no action.
Jack Ballard, 1943 quintet member,
finished his tour with the M. & O.
Smokies in time to see the Nebraska
game in civiles. Ballard will enroll
this week and will be suited up for
the Missouri rame Friday.
Rough Road Ahead To Big Six Crown
Victories over Oklahoma, Missouri, and Iowa State stand between the Jayhawkers and the Big Six championship for 1946.
The Jayhawkers will meet Missouri at Columbia this weekend, Iowa state in the last home game, Feb. 25, and Oklahoma at Norman for the last conference game on Feb. 28.
By defeating Nebraska 72-30, the Jayhawker quintet set a new Big Six scoring record for a single game. The previous scoring record of 70 points was held jointly by K-State and Oklahoma.
Gene Peterson, who scored 123 points for Nebraska last year, sank the last bucket which broke the scoring record. In previous conference games, Peterson tallied only three points, but after 10 minutes he dropped and had dropped in six field goals and two free throws for 14 points.
Ray Evans, All-American guard in 1943, played on the Kansas court for the first time in three years, and scored 12 points to tie with Owen Peck for fourth place scoring honors. Peck, who started as center, was forced out near the end of the game
Sauer Assistants 'On View' at Dinner
George Sauer, new football mentor for the Jayhawkers, and his assistant coaches will be guests of honor at a Chamber of Commerce dinner, March 6, at the Hotel Eldridge.
The "get acquainted" dinner is public. Coach Sauer has not yet announced his new assistants.
K.U. Tracksters Break Records
The Kansas tracksters were out-scored 65 1-3 to 37 2-3 by the Missouri Tigers at Columbia Saturday, but two record-breaking performances were turned in by Jayhawkers, John Jackson and Tom Scofield.
In the three meets K.U. has participated in this season, Jackson has broken three records in the quarter-mile dash. His leg of the relay also proved interesting and embarrassing for M.U.
Scofield, in his first appearance as a returned veteran, broke his own record in the high jump at 6' 3 1-8".
Leroy Robinson put the shot 46 feet 2 inches for an easy first in that event with Dick Bertuzzi taking a third. This is the best mark turned in by any weight man in the Big Six.
K. U. placed another first in the mile run as Hal Moore came from fifth place in the last 220 yards of the distance to take an easy first.
Mel Stevens, Andy Lunsford, and Bob Laptad paced seconds for Kansas in the broad jump, quarter and half-mile events, respectively. Anderson and Alford tied for third in the pole vault with Payton of Missouri, and Dexter Welton placed third in the two hurdle events.
KU.'s stellar relay team forged ahead in a freakish relay event to win by five yards. Jackson led off for Kansas and on the first turn the baton was accidentally knocked from his hand by the curve judge.
Before the baton was recovered the Missouri man had placed 25 yards between them. Jackson handed the baton to Stevens with about 20 yards between the runners. Fifteen yards were still to be gained as Stevens handed the baton to Dick Shea. Shea narrowed the distance to a mere five yards and Lunsford anchored the team to a startling victory within two seconds of record time.
The thinclads will go to Lincoln for a dual meet with Nebraska this Saturday, with several new veterans and navy transfers from Iowa State as prospective point winners.
The Jayhawkers led the scoring during the entire game and were ahead at the half. 34-16.
Officials called 46 fouls during the game, 20 on Kansas and 26 on Nebraska. Charlie Black and Otto Schnellbacher fouled out of the Kansas line-up late in the second half.
with a leg cramp.
