At El Dorado High school, Ray, as he prefers to be called, earned two letters in basketball, one in track
Meet Your Team. Brown hair, brown eyes, 6 foot even, 160 pounds—that's Donald "Ray" Frisby, who serves in pivot position or as guard for the Jayhawker quintet.

Cage Attendance Nears Home Record
The 1946 edition of the Jayhawker quintet is heading for a home attendance record in Hoch auditorium.
Although the auditorium can seat 3,500 spectators, this mark has ready been topped once this season by the 4,200 customers who arrived into the arena to see Kansas win a 35-52 victory from Oklahoma.
At least 1,500 fans were turned away and an estimated 7,500 could have seen the game with available eating or standing arrangements.
More than 13,000 customers have been drawn for the six home games date. This average of 3,000 persons a game is only 45 under the H-time high established in 1942.
113,000 May See Conn-Louis Fight
New York (UP)—Construction of facilities for packing up to 113 thousand fans into Yankee stadium began today in promoter Mike Jacob's number mill, less than 24 hours after the announcement that Joe Louis and Billy Conn would battle for the heavyweight title at the ball park next June 19.
Lumberman Jacobs lost no time in getting crews of workmen into action building portable ramps which will be used not only at Tankee stadium, but at the polo grounds for three outdoor title rights there and at Los Angles. Plans are in the making to stage an outdoor championship bout there next winter, probably at the huge Olympic stadium where the 1932 Olympic games were held.
"Uncle Mike" said he had 65 thousand seats in a warehouse in New Jersey and that he would try to get as many of them into Yankee stadium as possible for the fight. He estimated that about 40 thousand portable seats could be used in addition to the 73 thousand grandstand and bleacher seats.
The blue- ribbon heavyweight bout, most ballyhooed sports event in history, will be held just five years and a day after the first memorable brawl between the antagonists on June 18, 1941. In that bout Pittsburgh Billy, the challenger, was ahead on points until the 13th round when he lost his emotional control and started to slug wildly. Louis knocked him out.
The war prevented a return bout until this year. Both went into the army where they gave boxing exhibitions and made personal appearance tours for more than three years.
Ray Evans Returns, But Loss of Six First Stringers Riddles K.U. Quintet
Six first-stringers have left the Jayhawker quintet as a result of semester changes.
Gib Stramel, the husky V-12 from Hays, reported to Great Lakes Friday and donned togs for sea duty
man in the Big Six circle, he averaged 13.3 points a game in conference play. His high mark was a 25 - point score against the Olathe Clippers early in the season. As a right-hand push shot artist, he was known throughout the conference.
Gus Daum, who received his navy discharge early this year, will serve as a junior engineer in Topeka next
semester, and will return to the campus next fall to complete requirements for his degree.
The 200 - pound ex-sailor, who was a reserve letterman from last year, was a hard driver in the starting guard slot during the non-conference season.
Gene Anderson, 6-foot 6-inch freshman from Salina, will be drafted into the army Feb. 26. The All-State center of last year scored a 1.8 average for his year of college competition and showed possibilities
Gene Peterson, who was second in the Big Six scoring race at Nebraska last year with 123 points, will be drafted with Anderson Feb. 26. He brought in only a 1.0 scoring average despite his gangling height of 6 feet 7 inches.
as a future starter.
Dean Corder, who came up from last year's reserves to play quarterback this winter, was graduated, a n d is scheduled to receive commission next week.
Maurice Martin, the Alpine freshman center at 6 feet 4 inches, will enlist for two years in the navy within two weeks. He was an All-State forward from I to M opees. He sheld a year and scored 10 points in conference.
during his first year of college competition.
The only replacement for the team seen now is Ray Evans, guard on the Iron Five in 1943. He was to enroll today as a second semester junior.
Ray Evans, Big Six guard in 1943,
started practice with the team last
week after service in the army air
corps since March, 1943.
Evans will enroll today for the second semester as a junior and will be eligible for the final four games in Kansas Big Six conference schedule.
Before leaving for the army, Evans was the leading guard of the Iron Five. He was placed on the United
Press and Associated Press All-Blg Six teams. AP also placed Evans on the All-Stur Gazers along with Gerdaler Tucker of Oklahoma.
Evans has been playing basketball with the Denver Ambrose team in the American league the past few weeks.
In practice here, Evans and Wendell Clark were at guards, Otto Schnellbacher and Charlie Black, the other two members of the Iron Five, at forwards, and George Gear, at center. This probably will be the starting line-up for most of the remaining games on the Kansas schedule.
