1950's Show Two Great KU Centers
During the 1950's Kansas basketball teams have been blessed with two of the finest centers in the history of basketball.
From 1950-52, KU fans watched Clyde Lovellette spark the Jayhawk attack. In 1952 the team hit its peak, winning the NCAA title and representing the U.S. in the Olympic basketball tournament. Seven of the KU team members, along with a representative from the Peoria Cats, succeeded in winning the Olympics that year.
Many persons thought that Lovellette had written records in the Jayhawker record books that would never again be broken.
Then, in 1956-57, Wilt Chamberlain stepped into the picture to send Kansas basketball hopes soaring again. The Jayhawkers are once again in the running for the national title, meeting the SMU Mustangs in Dallas Friday night.
Phog Says No Comparison
Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Jayhawker coach for 38½ years and coach of the 1952 NCAA championship squad, said although he thinks Chamberlain is the greatest basketball player he has ever seen, an actual comparison between the two centers is impossible.
"They are two different types of players," Dr. Allen said. "Clyde had the most sensitive touch reaction of any player I have ever coached. He was a magician with his finger touch. He possessed the most beautiful hook shot basketball has ever seen.
"Although Wilt has not arrived at the touch which Clyde had, he can jump higher, move faster, has more agility and can rebound better than Lovellette.
"No player I have ever seen can do the things Wilt can do now. Touch is all Wilt lacks. When he gets that sense of touch he will be even greater than he is now."
Both Hard Workers
Dr. Allen went on to add that both players worked hard for the things they have been able to accomplish on the basketball court.
"Neither was born with all the ability they possess," he said. "It has taken many hours of hard and conscientious work for them to achieve the things they have accomplished. I have great admiration for both of them."
In statistics. Chamberlain appears to have the edge on Lovelle, especially in those compiled during both players' first year of varsity competition.

Chamberlain already has topped Lovelletta's single game scoring total. He holds the all-time KU record of 52, which he hit in his first game in a Jayhawker uniform against Northwestern.
Chamberlain has scored 679 points during the first 23 games this season. This figure already heads the first year total of Lovellette, who hit 545 during the 1950 season.
Lovellette's single season scoring record came in 1952 when he scored 886 in 31 games. That figure still is tops in KU record books.
Chamberlain's season average of 29.5 flow leads the highest season's average of Lovellette, who averaged 28.6 in 1952.
Lovellette hit 352 field goals in 1952, as compared with the 235 Chamberlain has hit so far this season. Lovellette's seasonal high for free throws was 1952 when he scored 182. Chamberlain has hit 209 this year.
Lovellette snagged 410 rebounds in 1952, which is 38 below Chamberlain's total of 448 this year.
The 1957 men's intramural volleyball season is now under way. The first games took place on March 5, and the competition should be completed by the end of the month.
IM Volleyball In Full Swing
This year there are about 80 teams entered, with an average of ten men playing on each team. This is about the same number of men that played the sport in the spring of 1956.
Competition is divided into Fraternity and Independent leagues. Both of these leagues, in turn, have their own A, B, and C leagues. At the end of the regular season the winners of the Fraternity leagues will play the winners of the Independent leagues, so that the University championship may be decided.
The University A league champions last year were the Set-Ups, an Independent team. They defeated Beta Theta Pi, Fraternity champions, in the playoff finals. Army ROTC won the B championship, while Beta also won the C championship.
The Set-Up team is one of the best volleyball teams in this part of the country. The team played in a national tournament held in Robinson Gymnasium earlier this year, and is going to compete in the national AAU championships which will be held in Wichita next week.
Basketball is the only game devised in the United States without any prompting from pastimes which originated in other countries.
