RON LONESKI
Rockne Club Will Honor KU Athletes
AL OERTER
Two KU athletes will be among 50 athletes from throughout the nation honored Monday night at the annual Knute Rockne Testimonial award dinner in Kansas City, Mo. Those receiving the award will be Ron Loneski, starting forward on the Jayhawker basketball squad and Al Oerter, holder of the Olympic discus throw record and member of the KU track squad.
Loneski has been named the outstanding basketball player of the year and Oerter was designated outstanding track man of the year by the group.
The awards are based on recommendations made by sports writers, radio and TV representatives and coaches throughout the nation.
Dr. D. M. Nigro, founder of the Rockne Testimonial Award, said Loneski was chosen because:
"He works hard in every game. He is a real fighter and a really great sport. We polled the sports officials and they were unanimous on Ron."
Dr. Nigro also said Oerter was chosen as the outstanding track man because of his proven ability, both as a member of the KU track squad and as a member of the Olympic squad in 1956.
Fifty athletes from throughout the nation will be honored at the dinner to be held at the Phillips Hotel. Among the others honored at the dinner will be Colorado's Bob Stransky, football player of the year and North Carolina's Frank McGuire.
Guest speaker will be Ed Miller, assistant athletic director of the United States Naval Academy, Annanolis. Md.
Invited guests to the dinner include former President Harry S. Truman, Governors Blair of Missouri and Docking of Kansas and John Dalton, Missouri attorney general. Also attending will be William Rockne, eldest son of the deceased Notre Dame coach.
Bobby Boyd, Chicago middleweight, formerly worked as a butcher and grocery clerk.
2 More NCAA Berths Filled
Utah, Tennessee Tech and Miami U. (Ohio) marched into post-season basketball tournaments today but still had to play second fiddle to Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati, who regained the national scoring lead.
regulated Utah (16-6) became the seventh team named for the 12-team National Invitation Tournament March 13-22 at New York. Tennessee Tech (17-8) defeated Morehead State, 66-63, in overtime to win the Ohio Valley Conference title and an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. Miami (15-7) also made the grade for the NCAA competition with an 82-73 victory over Marshall that wrapped up its second straight Mid-American Conference championship.
The 6-foot 5-inch player from Indianapolis thus grabbed back the scoring lead from Elgin Baylor of Seattle with an average of 34.43.
But the individual glory went to Robertson, the Cincinnati sophomore who scored 50 points in a 91-73 triumph over St. Louis.

Whatever Happened To Glenn Cunningham
Glen Cunningham is still being called one of the greatest middle distance runners in world track history. He is the only performer in the history of the Big Six and Big Seven conferences to win two American Olympic berths.
Cunningham, from Elkhart, earned a spot on the U.S. 1500-meter team in the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles and in the 1936 games in Berlin. He ran fourth in 1932 as a sophomore and second in 1936.
Cunningham once held, simultaneously, world record in both the indoor and outdoor miles. He twice won NCAA championships, the only Kansas to do so.
Glenn Cunningham now farms near Elmdale.
Sigma Nu won the final game from Hicks by forfeit 2-0.
Beta I defeated Phi Gam III 33-28 in the final Fraternity C game. Jack Spotts led the victors with 14 points.
AROTC won the final Independent C game by defeating the 1800's 39-24.
