Jayhawkers Place Two On UDK All Big-Eight
By Dan Felger and John Peterson
Wayne Hightower and Bill Bridges, Kansas' rebounding dynamos, head this year's University Daily Kansan All Big Eight basketball team.
Kansas State's Wally Frank combines with the two Jayhawkers to give the team outstanding shooting and rebounding ability on the frontline.
Scott and Brewer
Joe Scott, Missouri hot shooting guard, and Vinnie Brewer, Iowa State's 6-2 jumping jack sophomore, round out the sterling quintet.
Hightower, Brewer and Scott are unanimous choices on the UDK first five. Hightower and Brewer are sophomores while Scott is a junior.
KU's Bridges is the only repeater from last year's team. He has been the league's top rebounder the past two years and has been the spark in Kansas' late season spurt.
The second five of the all-conference team are Charlie Henke, Missouri; Herschell Turner, Nebraska; Wilkey Gilmore, Colorado; Del

Leading Scorer
Hightower is the conference's leading scorer, averaging 21.6 points per game. The 6-812 forward from Philadelphia, has carried the brunt of the Kansas scoring attack throughout the season.
Frank, the Wildcats' 6-8 senior forward, has provided key searing spurts in late games, providing the
deciding difference in the Kansas- State—Kansas game at Manhattan which the Wildcats won.
The front line averages 49 points per game and nearly 40 rebounds per game.
Brewer, who has already set the individual scoring record for a sophomore at Iowa State surpassing former All-America Gary Thompson's mark, is regarded as one of the top rebounders and shooters in the league, despite his handicap of size at the forward position. He is 6-2.
Best Long Jumper
Scott, averaging 18.3 points per game, is the best long range jump shooter in the league. Along with Henke, the Gainesville, Mo., gunner had provided Mizzou's scoring punch.
There are four seniors on the top two teams, three juniors and three sophomores. Frank is the only senior on the first five, however.

Sure Sign Is Out Spring Is Coming
By Gabby Wilson
The one sure sign of the coming of spring has finally appeared.
No one is ever able to put his complete trust in the first robin or the way March comes in. But when the major league baseball players come out of hibernation and begin to sound off, spring is on its way.
Signs Everywhere
The signs are everywhere. Mickey Mantle and Roy Seivers keep sending back unsigned contracts as they have each spring for the past several years.
One of the lines of strategy which the manager puts forth is the use of the promising rookie. He is also mixing in a few comments about the veterans on the team.
Managers are beginning to try to raise the hopes of the home town fans by voicing different lines of strategy. And the enthusiastic fans are flocking to the ticket offices for season tickets in record numbers.
The managers are hungry for their first try at shuffling the members. Chuck Dressen, Milwaukee Braves' pilot, says that he will give Warren Spahn an extra day of rest between starts this year. Spahn doesn't want
Inge-Patterson Date Set
LONDON — (UPI) — Heavyweight Champion Ingemar Johansson told reporters at London Airport today his return title fight with Floyd Patterson has been "fixed definitely" for June 22 in New York.
The champion said he will give one or two sparring exhibitions for United Nations troops in the Gaza Strip, and then give more exhibitions for United States troops at various installations in Europe.
the extra day of rest. He wants to throw every fourth day as he has for the last 15 years.
A Big Winner
This system of rotation seems to agree with Spahn because in 10 of those years he has won 20 games. But the skipper always has the last say even if it is the wrong one.
Many of the old veterans are saying that they are in the best shape they have been in for years and they are ready to go right now. They are all at their playing weight now and their legs are in good shape and will probably last another four years. But this is the same thing they have said for the past three or four years.
Another sure sign is that Ted Williams is again thinking about retiring. This is probably one of the surest signs of spring in America.
All of these signs can only point to one thing and that is spring is just around the basepath.
