JANUARY 9,1946
Meet Your Team. Today we start a series of thumb-nail sketches on members of the basketball team
acquaint fans with Jayhawkers who who are striving to win the Big Six championship for Kansas.
"Andy" or "Wrong Way," a nickname he acquired after sinking a basket for the opposing Olathe team when they played here. He retaliated for this error within 1 minute, however, by placing a scoring bucket for the Jayhawkers.
A tall blond
Swede heads the list—Gene Anderson.
6-foot 6-inch freshman forward of the Alpine quintet. Gene is commonly called
"Andy" gained a spot on the all-state team last year while helping Salina High school acquire state championship honors. He also received a spot on the Central Kansas league team, and averaged 10 points per game for the season. He lettered in basketball three years.
Mobile for his height and already a member of the starting five as sub to Charlie Black, "Andy" promises to be a top notch player. He is a freshman majoring in physical education.

Down went the scoring average when they hit the big teams! The early season Jayhawker record of 59.6 points a game is now down to a 52.0 average.
Although this drop suggests that the offense is weaker than it should be, the average is one of the highest the Mt. Orcad five has ever accumulated.
More Basketball For Men Tonight
At 8 p.m. the Navy Clippers will attempt to trounce the Kappa Alpha Psi队 on the east court. On the west court, Sigma Chi will meet the Phi Delt's.
The Sig Alphs will meet the Teke's on the west basketball court in Robinson gym at 7 tonight. At the same time Pi K. A. players will battle the D.U. team on the east court, in men's intramurals.
The bridge tournament will begin at 7 tonight instead of 7:30 as previously planned, Virginia Neal, chairman, announced today.
Battenfeld, a two-time winner, will battle Alpha Phi Alpha at 9 p.m. on the west court, while the Beta's play the Delt's on the east court.
Tourney at 7 Tonight
All-America Charlie Black still holds a 15.7 average in points a game and his '43 forward mate, Otto Schnellbacher, follows with an 8.5 average. The next regulars on the score sheet are Gib Stramel with 6.7 and Owen Peck with 5.2.
Schnellbacher, the former All-Big Six forward, still is not in top condition since his return to the quintet five games ago. Schnellbacher donned his basketball suit for the first time in a year Dec. 19 for the return engagement game with Olaathe. In addition to lack of practice, he had just completed a tough football season with Hondo Texas Army Air Field before returning to the court.
The navy got another man! Jack Lippoldt, all-state guard last year at Salina High school who had shown promise as a guard for the Jayhawkers, left school this week to enter the navy. Jack expected a call from the draft board soon but left early to enter the service of his choice.
Kansas to Play K-State Tonight
A traveling squad of 12 men left Lawrence today for Manhattan where the Jayhawker quintet will meet the Kansas Aggies in the first out-of-town conference game at 7:30 tonight.
Kansas has been victorious in 19 games with the Wildcats, and not since 1937, when they scored a 33-24 overtime victory in Manhattan, have the Aggies defeated the Jayhawkers on the court.
While K.U. scored eight consecutive victories this season, the Aggies dropped 10 out of 12 games played. The Jayhawkers gave the Aggies a 71-46 trouncing in the first round of the Big Six tournament in Kansas City three weeks ago. The K-Staters have displayed an improvement since then, however, and scored a surprising 52-46 win over Iowa State last Saturday in an overtime battle.
The Wildcat game will be the second of three games this week. Kansas meets Nebraska Friday at Lincoln to round out the toughest week of the conference campaign.
Union Pacific established the first railroad into Lawrence in 1864.
