BIG 8
Missouri
Missouri's 1959 football team will start taking shape here Monday.
Opening months of '59 have been profitable ones for Devine as he is now holder of a new eight-year contract and an alumni-sponsored $150,000 life insurance policy. He hopes the Bengals' spring drills will be equally productive from a coaching standpoint.
Barring drop-outs or failures, Devine can count on 18 lettered hold-overs from '58 next September. However, four of these veterans will see little or not action this spring.
A recent knee operation will limit Danny LaRose, all-conference end, to light workouts. The same is true of Norris Kelley, a 1957 "M" winner. Baseball obligations have pinned down Bob Haas, quarterback, Ed Mehrer, fullback, and Russ Sloan. end. LaRose, Sloan and Mehrer were regulars last fall, while Haas understudied quarterback Phil Snowden.
Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State basketballers elected Arlen Clark, 6-8 senior center from Colbert, as captain of the 1958-59 Cowboy cage varsity and picked Kansas State's All America Bob Boozer as the outstanding player on their all-opponent team.
Four of the Poke all-opponents came from the basketball-tough Big Eight and the only outsider was West Virginia's sparkling All America Jerry West. Boozer topped all vote getters with 13 and he was accompanied by teammate Don Matuszak, K-State's crafty playmaker, on the first team.
West and Colorado's spunky backliner, 6-1 Jerry Schroeder, each bagged nine votes while Matuszak and Ron Loneski of Kansas rounded out the first team with six, each.
Boozer at 6-8 is the tallest while Loneski ( $6-4_{12}$ ) and West (6-3), short by many forward standards but tough on the boards, are accompanied by six-footers Matuszak and Schroeder.
Herschell Turner of Nebraska just missed the first unit as he polled five votes while Oklahoma's Dennis Price and K-State's Ced Price followed with three, each. Three men tied for the last two spots on the second team: Bob Smith of West Virginia, Albert Maxey of Nebraska, and KU's huge sophomore, Bill Bridges.
Single votes were also cast for Al Donaghue, KU; Don Walker, Colorado; Roger Wendel, Tulsa; John Krocheski, Iowa State; and Wally Frank, Kansas State.
Kansas State
Two members of Kansas State's Big Eight basketball championship team are to play in post season all-star games. Both Bob Boozer and Don Matuszak have been invited to play in East-West games at College Park, Md., March 25, and at Kansas City, March 28.
Eighteen 1958 football lettermen will be on hand when Kansas State opens spring football drills here April 3. The Wildcats plan to work four days a week—Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday—climaxing the allotted 20 worksouts on May 2 with the annual game against K-State alums.
Two Named to West Team
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Bob Ferry of St. Louis and Arlen Clark of Oklahoma State University have been named to the West team for the 8th annual East-West Shrine game Saturday night. Both men are 6-8. Another 6-8 center, Booozer, All America from Kansas State was named earlier to the West team
Phi Gams,Betas Defeat Each Other for Titles
Phi Gamma Delta defeated Beta Theta Pi in two straight games yesterday for the Fraternity "A" crown in volleyball intramurals.
But in Fraternity "B," the Betas exchanged their runners-up role for champion status as they grabbed the first place trophy, leaving the Phi Gams with second place. The Beta team won two of the matches and the Phi Gams one in the "B" game.
The Chicken Pickers forfeited the Championship to the Medics in Independent "A."
In Independent "B" Foster shut out Sigma Gamma Epsilon 2-0 for the title.
The Fraternity "C" playoffs will be held today with Sigma Nu playing Beta Theta Pi II for the championship.
Schoendienst Will Be Back
ST. LOUIS — (UPI) — Red Schoen迪恩, sparkplug of the Milwaukee Braves, leaves a tuberculosis hospital today, hopeful of regaining his second base position with the Braves in 1960.
Although happy about his discharge after a four-month stay in the hospital, Schoendienst refused to predict or even hazard a guess as to the date he would return to the Braves.
He is resigned to a season at home or possibly on the bench later in the year, but next year is a different matter.
"I'll be out there next year for spring training," Schoendienst said. "But I won't be doing much this year."
"I'll think about the fellows in spring training, but I won't even think about going down there."
Schoendienst learned he had contracted tuberculosis last fall after the World Series against the New York Yankees. He began-treatment immediately for a tubercular right lung last November and underwent surgery to remove the infected portion in February at Mt. St. Rose Hospital, where he had been confined.
"I did everything they told me," The Redhead said, "and my tests show negative now."
"I never asked the doctor too much," he said. "Then when he came in this morning (Monday) he asked me, 'You want to get out of here?' I said I was ready."
The doctor surprised the scrappy ball player yesterday.
Schoendienst, however, said he would obey doctor's orders thoroughly, taking strict rest periods for several weeks to build himself up for a more rigorous schedule.
Rupp Given Coach Award
LEXINGTON, Ky. — (UPI) Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp said here Monday night in accepting the United Press International Coach of the Year Award, he would be willing to settle for the record made by his Wildcats this year during "the rest of my coaching days."
Rupp, picked as coach of the year in a nationwide poll of sports writers and broadcasters conducted by United Press International, called the record of his SEC team "remarkable" and advanced a reason for Kentucky's upset by the University of Louisville in the NCAA regionals.
"While other teams were playing after our season ended, we sat around sucking our thumbs. I believe an extra game would have helped," Rupp said.
