Daily Kansan Selects All- Big Six Team Praille Named on Squad For Third Year; Guards Dominate Performance This Season
By Elon Torrence - c'30
By Elon Torrence, c. 29
Just as it was a standout year for guards in Big Six play the past season, so was it a standout year for Fred Pralle, Kansas see, who is making the all-conference team for the third time. He is one of the few players to make a significant contribution to the old Missouri Valley loop, or in the present Big Six. Such a performance puts him in the class with Peterson and Ebling of Kansas, and Browning of Oklahoma.
Praile well laid claim to the title of the greatest guard in Big Six history by being the first man to take the conference scoring championship while playing in the guard position. In so doing, Fred set an all-time offensive record for guards by averaging 12.1 points per game to displace the record set by Parsons only last year of 9.8. In addition Praile was consistently good on defense.
Martin the Sooner Brains
As Pralea's running mate, we have selected Parsons. Nebraska's on a bright spot in an erratic season. Parsons is another great guard, ranking only slightly below Pralea. Parsons had a good offense as well as being the key man in the Nebraska defense. Parsons is a senior.
Consequently Pralle rates first mention on the all-star team and is given the honor of captaining the first five.
For center, the choice goes to Bill Martin, steady senior Oklahoma guard. We have taken the liberty of shifting Martin to center, though some might prefer to shift Parsons to this post, because under the new rules, a playoff spot will be given to Martin, in our opinion, largely responsible for the success of the "Boy Scats," being the balance wheel for the other four. Martin was a potent scorer when he was not feeding his team-mates, and was generally conceded to the brass of the South. Martin would make it easier, Martin would make an ideal center, or "ununterback."
An Edge to McNatt
By placing Bob Blahnik, Iowa State senior, at forward, we have made another shift, as Blahnik was regularly listed as a guard, Blahnik scored 40 per cent of Iowa State's points in the past season, averaging 11.9 points per game, to rank second to Praille, Blahnik, while perhaps a little weak on defense, would be a valuable addition to any team.
For the other forward, the fifth position on the team, we had our biggest trouble in making a decision. We were tempted to make it an all-guard team by placing Mesch, Sooner first year man, in this position. However, the slighly superior scoring advantage of Melotti Oklahoma may force the forward, plus Oklahoma of the part he played in giving the Jayhawkers their only conference defeat, gives him an edge in our mind.
This first five as a whole, presents a team that would be a high-scoring team, yet one that would have plenty of defensive ability. As for the linemen, they need it in height, and LT3 pounds in weight. Harp on Second Team
On our second team we have of course given a place to Mesch, and since he was so close to a first team berth, we have given him the caputancy of the second aggregation. As Mesch's partner in the back line we have placed Harp, Jayhawker sophomore. Harp was one of the best defensive players in the conference, while he was a good fielder at the basket gave him a comparatively low offensive average.
At center we have placed Wesche, Kansas State junior. He was the highest scoring center in the conference, but we did not rate his all-around play to be of sufficient caliber for a first team post.
At the forwards are Ebling, second high scoreer on the Kansas team, and one of the cleverest players in the league, a and Harvey, Missouri sophomore who led the Tiger scoring.
Golay a 'Pinch' Scorer
On the third group, we have placed Golay, Jayhawk junior, the finest "clutch" scorer on the squad, at forward. His scoring in a pinch was demonstrated in the Oklahoma and Nebraska games away from Lawrence. The other forward is Amen, brilliant then inconsistent. Connexer forward, Schmidt, team leader and superior player, gets the call at center. Brown, Missouri's giant gvlpm十，我们 have shifted to a guard post. Brown ranked well up in the conference scoring and used

--his height to a good advantage on rebounds. However he played in only eight conference games, and we feel that his value as an all around player does not rate him more than a third team berth. The other guard post goes to Walker, Oklahoma sophomore, who though has scored nearly the height of the time at guard. Walker averaged 7.1 points per game.

A recapitulation of the three teams gives a good idea of the strength of the various teams. Kansas placed 5 men on the three teams; Oklahoma, 4; Nebraska and Missouri 2 each; and Kansas State and Iowa State 1 each. An evaluation that is not possible when all three teams are taken into consideration—there is not room for the players who are important in the season's play, but who may not be individually brilliant enough to make the first team. That is the reason there are two teams to one for Kansas. Oklahoma had four players who were particularly outstanding, while outside of Praille, Kansas had six or seven men who were about on a level as good players, but who were not consistently brilliant to deserve first all-Big Six mention.
Fifty-five Turn Out For Baseball
Fifty-five Jayhawker hopefuls checked out equipment and reported to Coach Ralph Conger yesterday for the opening baseball practice of the
Among the missing will be Fred Praile, c38 third baseman and heavy slugger of last year's team, who gave up his baseball eligibility in order to play basketball with the Healey company of Kansas City, Kansas.
Five Lettermen Return;
Team Limbers Up for
Opening Games Against
K-State April 12-13
Included in yesterday's turnout were five letterman of last year's squad around whom Coach Congen will build his 1938 team. The lettermen returning are: Purrel Anderson, c'39; Lester Koster, b'39; John Sullivan, b'39; outfielder; James Bruss, c'40; and Jack Shuss, c'40, pitchers.
Yesterdays practice session was spent in limbering up exercises and light throwing practice. All this week will be spent in conditioning exercises, Coach Conger said yesterday, and actual practice games among squid members will begin in a week or two.
At this early stage of the season, Couch Conger is reluctant to venture his opinion of the prospective Jayhawk winer, nine, but he hopes to place a smooth-functioning team on the field against Kansas State April 12-13 in the opening games of the season for the Kansas队.
At present the squad is practicing on the freshmen football field east of the stadium while workmen are getting the former varsity football practice field into shape for the team. The playing field will be of the skinned variety and temporary bleachers will be erected for seating the spectators.

Kansan Sports Editor
As a parting feature before giving over the sports editorship of the Kansan entirely, Elon Torrence has picked what he considers to be the cream of the Big Six basketball players. Torrence has done what we feel to be a fine job as sports editor, and we can go a bit further to say that his job of preparing the team is let-down. This, after saying "so-long" to Torrence and giving him a return back-pat for the one received by us in Sunday's paper, we'll dig in to see what we can do with a sports page.
Spring football is now under way, and Coach Ad Lindsay is making no bones about its importance. The Jayhawks play their first game this fall two weeks after practice opens, meaning that most of the preparation for that tough ompfer with Texas will necessarily be done by them. It is trying to have all men play for the entire period of spring competition to get as much done as possible. The freshmen upon whom many of the Kansas hopes will rest next are being given special attention to prepare them for varsity competition. Be ause classes prevent some of the players from getting to practice early so they will take the field at 4 o'clock each afternoon and then work the players until 6 o'clock.
Good old Bill English, super sports backer for the Oklahoma "Boy Seats" during the past season, just can't quit beating at Kansas even though the basketball season is over. In the absence of Torrence, we feel obliged to carry the torch and correct more of Mr. English's mistaken impressions. In the Saturday issue of the Daily Oklahan, English
bring up the Big Six ruling prohibiting a senior basketball player from playing A.A.U. basketball at the end of the basketball season and then being eligible for baseball or tennis near the end of his final year. He is referring to the ruling which will keep Martin out of tennis and Fruille out of baseball after competing with their respective A.A.U. teams.
We heartily agree with English that the Big Six rulings on that case are a bit rigid and unreasonable, but they are the rules. We can't speak for Oklahoma's Martin, but Prairie was given to understand that he would not be able to deal with Healy's team, and he will not, as Inglish intimates, be at his old third base spot when the Big Six baseball season opens.
In furtherance of his point (tending to place Oklahoma as the only school which can't get away with breaking Big Six rulings) English brings up the fact that Kiley and Kell last year played an exhibition tennis match against Budge and Mako (no Titens and Perry, English) and then were declared eligible for the Big Six tennis match at Nebraska and on to win it in singles and doubles. Even through English season, they did it deliberately, we were on hand and know that the two boys forget there were such things as Big Six rules in the excitement of getting to play against two such noted netmen. We also are aware that two extra tennis men were sent to Lincoln after the stink began, as we feared, that Kiley and Kell would not be re-instated. Each of the Big Six representatives knew the facts and had a vote on the case. Perhaps, English, had been there, could have convinced the committee that Kell and Kille were guilty of great wrong, and had them thrown out to give Oklahoma a paved street to the Big Six tennis championship.
Big Six Basketball Champs Varsity Guests Tonight
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, members of the 1938 Big Six basketball champions, assist coach Ptumley and trainer Elwyn Dees will be special guests of the Varsity theater tonight.
Between the feature shows of the evening at 9:30 p.m., Coach Allen and the Jayhawkers, who are the seventh Kansas team to win the championship in 10 years of Big Six existence, will be introduced individually to the patrons of the theater.
