PAGE FOUR WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2, 1938 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS Blahnik Tops Loop Scoring Parade Prailed Face With Task Of Getting. 20 Points Even To Tie for Point-Making Crown With only the Missouri-Kansas game left of the Big Six basketball season, Bob Blahnik, junior Iowa State guard, is well in front of the individual scoring race. Fred Pruille, star jayhawk, is in second place, and there is necessary of obtaining 20 points even to tie the Iowa State "hot shot." Blahnik scored 119 points in the ten conference games played by Iowa State. His scoring accounted for 40.1 per cent of all the points scored by the Cyclone five against Big Six schools. Praille has 99 points in the 9 100 games Kansas has played. Parsons, senior Nebraska guard, finished the season with 12 counters against the Jayhawkers to pull up to third place in the race with 103 points, just ahead of McNatt, sophomore Oklahoma forward, who finished with 104. In fifth place is Harper, second with 106. He will hit a hurdor pace later and will be trying to raise his total here tomorrow night. Tied for sixth and seventh places are Meach, Oklaahoma, and Wesche, Kansas State, each of whom scored 102 points in 10 games. Finishing were Martin, Oklahoma; Brown, Missouri; and Amen, Nebraska. accent has scored the most field goals with 45 two-pointers.

Along the Sideline Elon Torrence Kansas Sports Editor Well, enough time has gone by that we can talk about that thriller at Nebraska without practically raving. It was the best basketball game it ever has been our fortune to see. Shooting such as you see only once, hard, fast court play, and tight defensive work were featured. We wish there were a record of the shots taken in the first half, for the successful shots must have averaged about 75 per cent of the total tries. There were long shots that touched only the net, and they were really long. The only short ones that could be tried were those dizzy one-handed (quite often left-handed) or over-thigh shots. Even these came in contact with only the net. Here we are still raving about it Anyway it was fast, thrilling basketball that must have pleased every one of the 7,000 fans even though Nebraska lost. Now for a bit of hosting. If you remember, we predicted that Kansas would win both the Oklahoma and the Nebraska games. However, we will admit that those two teams had us scared before they were over. This Missouri game tomorrow night has us worried somewhat, though It would be a proper time for a let-down, just as the Jayhawker football team let us know. Still, we will put our money on Kansas to come through under pressure—and it might be by a larger margin than we think There are too many factors that enter in, to tell just what will happen. This is a busy time in sports, with basketball still going, spring football just starting, track in full swing, intramurals going strong, basketball, baseball, basketball starting Monday, and with tennis and golf around the corner. Credit is due Erin Klipp for the splendid performances he turned in at Columbia last week. The time of 1:38.5 is excellent for the 880, especially indoors, and a 4:24 half-mile to be sneezed out of our door. Klipp's half-mile time is the best posted by a conference runner in the indoor season. Frosh and Intramural Stars To Meet Tomorrow Night The all-star team has been selected by the managers of the highest-ranking 10 teams in the intra-club competition. The manager has been selected to act as the manager. Basketball fans will get one more look at this year's freshman crew who it plays on a large intramural Following is a list of the picked men and the teams on which they have starred: Hall and Nourse, S.A.E.; Cave and Clover, Kappa Sigma; Stoland and McCaslin, Beta; Yoe, Phi Psi; Souis, Sigma; Sigma Ch.; Trotter, Phi Delt. Crabble and Hildreth, Hellhounds Lindsay and Huddleton, Jaybirds Caldwell, Westminster, Schmidt, Rock Chalk; Cordts, A. K. P; Austin, Hexagon I; Westihaus, 120 Hexagon II; Vogel, Galloping Ghosts. Pralle To End College Cage Career Tomorrow Fred Pralle, one of the great Kansas guards all of time, will bring his college basketball career to a close Thursday night when the Jayhawks meet the Missouri Tigers on the Kansas court. Praile is the highest scoring guard in Kansas history and a standout on defense as well. His all-around ability has won him a place on the all-Big Six team three consecutive years. Two years ago when the Jayhawks completed their regular season undefeated, Pralle, a sophomore, won the main reason's for the team's success. Average of 8.47 Points Per Game With the conference game with Missouri yet to be played, Praille's he has scored 270 points in 29 games, record in Big Six play shows that an average of 9.3 points a game. His sophomore year he counted 77 points in the ten conference games, last year he scored 94 points and in nine games this season he has marked up 99 points. In non-conference games his average is not quite as good, scoring only 216 points in 27 games for an average of an even 8 points a game. This coupled with 31 points in the 5 Olympic playoff contests in 1936 gives Pride a grand total of 517 points in 61 games of college competition, an average of 8.47 for each game. The outstanding scoring performance of Fred's career came this year in a non-conference game, the second with Washburn. In this scree spree he registered 21 points in 28 minutes of play. His best conference games were this year when he scored 15 points against both Oklahoma and Nebraska on the home court. He played all of the Nebraska game and all but one half minute of the Sooner fray. Has Committed Few Fouls During the three years Pralle has been a member of the team Kansas has won 50 games and lost 6, exclusive of Olympic tournament play. In the Olympic tryouts in 1936 the Jayhawks won 2 and dropped 2. Pruille's ability on defense is indicated in the record of the team and also in the fact that in the 61 conference and non-conference games he has played he has committed only 90 fouls, although playing guard. This is an average of $ \frac{1}{2} $ fouls a game. Following the completion of the Jayhawk schedule Prale will play with the Healey Motors team of Kansas City, Kan., in the National A.U.A. tournament at Denver. Ray Noble, Prale's running mate at guard last year, is a member of the Healey team, while Ray Ebling and Al Wellhausen, K.U. stars of recent years, are playing with the Phillips "60" team of Bartlesville and the Wichita Griddles, respectively. Praille has been in the starting lineup for 60 of the 61 games the Jayhawks have played the past three years. The only game he missed started was the Kansas-Baker game this year in which Dr. F. C. Allen, Kansas coach, started his midget "Pony Express" team. Has Missed Only One Game Praise came to K.U. from Beaumont high school in St. Louis where he made the all-state interosisthalite 42 inches tall, 44 inches and weighs 185 pounds. Thirty paintings by Prof. Albert Bloch, head of the department of painting, will be on exhibition at the first three weeks of March. Bloch's Paintings on Exhibition team as a preliminary game to the Jawahyer-Tiger turtle tomorrow night. A similar game was played at Lincoln last Saturday. We had been hearing great things about the Husker freshmen, but in our opinion, Nebraska had its best chance to win the title this year, if the yearling team we saw play represents the type of basketeers Nebraska will depend upon in the next few years. Spring Grid Work Starts About 50 in First Drill; 77 Have Checked Out Suits Spring football practice got under way yesterday with a light workout in spite of a dizzying rain. Of the 77 men who have checked out suits, about 50 appeared for the first day's workout. Some of them jumped up in basketball track, or other activities, and will report later. When the latter report, along with additional candidates who have not yet checked out suits, the squad is expected to reach nearly the hundred mark. Those who have checked out equipment: William Addis, Dick Amereine, Mike Andrews, Bill Arnold, Fred Barlow, Merle Behm, Maurie Bhelse, Belf Bolevileac, Rex Brous, Bob Buchanan, Frank Bukaty, Bill Bursen, John Burge, Eldred Cadvalawel, Kenneth Cadwell, Russell Chitwood.

J. Hendrix, who received his master of science in education degree in 1932, has been appointed senior adviser to the president good for the remainder of this year. Baseball Drill Opens Monday Conger, Newly Chosen Diamond Mentor, Hopes For Good Turnout Coach R. L. Conger, recently appointed to coach baseball at the University this spring, has issued first call to the baseball team. Equipment will be checked out starting Monday, and the first practice will be held Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Conger is unable to make a definite statement as to the prospects for this year's team, but hopes that all interested players will report immediately to enable the shaping of a team as soon as possible. Only five lettermen are available from last year; Ferrel Anderson, current, Les Simons, current, left field; and George Kloppenberg and Clifford Brass, pitchers. Fred Pralie, who held down the third-base position last season, will be ineligible for baseball as a result of playing post-season basketball with the Kansas City Healey's in the A.A.U. tourney at Denver. He has received permission from Gwinn Henry to play with Healey's and will start in with them after his last basketball game here Thursday. Of the returning lettermen, both Kappelman and Anderson played with Ban Johnson baseball club during the past summer. Anderson played with the Leavenworth Generals and was rated as the best back stop in the eastern circuit, while Kappelman was posted at shortstop with the championship Lawrence team. The extra experience, should prove valuable to Coach Conger in rounding his squad into shape. As yet, definite plans for the baseball practice field are not available, but it is believed that the south football practice field will be brought into service. It will give longer distances in the three fields, and will make a more level diamond in general. Conger says that practice will go on regularly in spite of poor weather, and practices sessions will be held in the stadium if necessary. be held in the stadium if necessary. The opening game for the Jay hawkers will be April 12 with Karas State at Manhattan.
