The 1951 basketball tourna
ment Is over.
So University students can go
back to their classes, their activ
ities, and their meeting places
without fear of being completely
annihilated by the prepsters.
The general caliber of high
school basketball was of a some
what lower caliber this year, ac
cording to the opinion of sports
Writers and the public.
There was no completely invin
cible team operating this year as
Kansas Begins
Spring Football
Most interesting experiment on
KU's early spring football card
will be trial of Aubrey Linville,
Salina co-captain-elect, at offen
sive halfback.
A two-lettered end in his first
two seasons with the Jayhawks,
the lean speedster moved into
prominence late last year at de
fensive safety. He started the final
three games a tthis post turning
an auspicious debut against Okla
homa when he hung up 24 tackle
assists plus on singleton and a
pass interception in the furious
13-33 loss to the Sooners here.
Now with a capable crop of
ends upcoming and a shortage of
backs, Bossman J. V. Sikes hopes
to strengthen his squad by re
casting Linville. The deft wing
man always has been a swift,
slashing runner as a pass catcher
and Sikes hopes that he can im
prove enough on those qualities
to plug the thin secondary ranks.
Of course, he will continue at
safety also.
Grabs Four
Playing behind Bill Schaake,
the Hawkers' other co-captain
for 1951, Linville flagged four
passes last season for 104 yards.
Playing more frequently on at
tack as a sophomore in 1949, he
nailed 17 tosses for 276 yards,
good enought for sixth among the
Big Seven receivers, while scor
ing two touchdowns. -
He also will act as the corner
stone in a revamping of the Jay
hawks' secondary defense, which
was a sore spot through most of
1950. Center Merlin Gish, who led
the club with 81 assists and 36
unassisted tackles last season, is
returning at defensive center, and
also figures to hold his job. Hal
Cleavinger, Manhattan junior,
will be back at right half and is
expected to improve on a credit
able sophomore performance.
Two Regulars Gone
Two other defensive backfield
regulars, Linebacker Bill Mace,
and Halfback Fox Cashell, are
gone, the latter having enlisted
in the Marines. Galon Fiss, John
son fullback, and Jack Luschen,
Mission guard, saw considerable
action as linebackers last season,
and also are in the picture. John
Konek, rugged California, Pa.,
product, and the top all-around
back off last year's freshman
club, figures prominently in de
fensive plans also.
Sikes, and his expanded staff,
will greet a herd of 77 candidates
in Monday's opening practice.
Edwards Signed
Signing of Dan Edwards,
former Georgia ail-American,
brings the Jayhawker coaching
corps to eleven men this spring.
Edwards, an All-Pro selection last
season with the New York
Yankees, played under Sikes
when the latter was tutoring
wings at Athens. He and Dick
Tomlinson, former Hawker all
league guard and a professional
with Pittsburgh last season, plus
John Amberg ana jvwce Mcuorm
ach, last year's co-captains, wiU
serve only through the spring.
Sikes' regular staff includes
Pop Warner, line coach; Cliff
Kimsey, backfield coach; Wayne
Replogle, end coach; Don Fam
brough, assistant coach; Dean
Nesmith, trainer; Mike Getto, as
sistant coach; Hub Ulrich, assist
ant, and Otto Schnellbacher, as
sistant Getto and Schnellbacher
are part-time aides, the former
serving only in the Fall. Ulrich
doubles as head baseball coach
and thus will not be available for
spring practice.
All-Star
Deadline
Extended
Ballots for the All-Intramural
basketball teams are still com
ing in. Twenty-eight have been
received to date.
The deadline for the votes has
been extended to Thursday of
this week because of the delay
of the All-University champion
ship game caused by the Phi Del
ta Theta protest
All members of all teams are
urged to get their votes in as
soon as possible. To make the
All-Star selections meaningful all
85 teams should select their all
opponent teams and send them
in. It is hoped, however, that at
least 75 team ballots will have
been received by Thursday.
Send your ballots immediate
ly or call your votes in to the
Sports Desk of the Daily Ne-braskan.
has been true of the Grand Is
land and Northeast crews of a
few seasons back.
But the competition was .much
keener and more closely contested
if seasonal records mean any
thing. And this probably made
up for the lack of any unde
feated teams.
Upsets, Upsets, Upsets
Upsets have been the feature of
the entire cage campaign. They
started during regular season
play, continued to pick up speed
in the regional contests, and came
to a zooming climax in the state
tournament.
Millard was the only favorite
to come through with one of the
four titles. And its team had to go
all out to squelch a determined
Axtell crew by a 42-37 count for
the Class D crown.
The Class A monarch, Fremont,
continued to improved as the sea
son advanced. And the Tiger
reached their peak at state tour
ney time. They employed a blaz
ing fast break and a very ef
fective stall to win their crown.
David City Surprises.
The Class B champs, David
City, were not given a fighting
chance when the state carnival
began. But the Scouts complete
ly upset the dope-bucket by
knocking off favorites Omaha
Holy Name and Lincoln Teach
ers. They beat Wayne 60-55 for
the B trophy.
Hildreth made its move up to
Class C a successful one by tak
ing that league title away. The
Greyhounds defeated Chappell
in the final, 59-43.
A few of the amazing upsets in
the tourney were Newman
Grove's conquest of St. Joseph's
of Atkinson, the Holdrege vic
tory over highly favored Pawnee
City, . Lincoln High beating North
Platte in the opening round, and
Fremont's win in the finals over
Omaha Benson.
Phi Delt Protest Upheld; .
Title Game Replay Ordered
Maybe Sigma Phi Epsilon is
the 1951 I-M fraternity "A" bas
ketball champion and maybe it
isn't. The trophy was taken back
from the Big Eps Friday and a
replay of .their .championship
game with Phi Delta Theta has
been ordered.
The Sig Eps downed the Phi
Delta in a startling upset 38-36 a
week ago to cop the coveted tro
phy and title, but the defeat
didn't satisfy the Phil Delts. A
Phil Delt protest was received
and honored by the I-M Depart
ment the next day and after sev
eral hours deliberation a replay
of the final game was ordered.
The Phi Delt protest centered
on a field-goal that was counted
for the Sig Eps in the first quar
ter. Sig Ep center Dave Brandon
was in the process of shooting
as the buzzer sounded ending the
first canto and the referee ruled
is as good. The rule concerning
that episode was believed to state
that if a shot was in the process
of being made when the quarter
ended, it would have to be coun
ted as good.
After the game, the rule was
found out to state that the shot
had to have left the shooter's
hands and in the air before the
end of the period or else the bas
ket would not count.

Jayhawkers Faced
Tough Competition
By Shirley Murphy
Kansas was the nation's only basketball team which faced
America's No. 1, 2, and 3 ranked fives during the regular playing
season.
The Jayhawkers met Kentucky, rated tops, once; second
ranked Oklahoma A & M twice, and Kansas State, rated third, twice.
They won one of these engagements, the closing 37-27 victory over
A & M.
Coach Sparky Stalcup's 1950-51 quintet set a season record of
16 wins and 8 losses giving him his best mark over a five-year hitch
at Mizzou. They also set two scoring highs in the final high point
tabulations.
Bud Heineman, smallish lefthander, put one entry in the record
books by flipping 283 points through the hoop for a modern single-season
scoring effort. The Tigers rubbed out another point
peak as a team by collecting a 1251 point total.
When Frank Marks, Oklahoma's sophomore 167-pound wrestler
pinned Husker Al Johnson in 21 seconds with a double arm lock,
he set an all-time record for achieving the fastest fall ever scored
in the Oklahoma fieldhouse.
Russ Thomas, "Athlete of the Week" at Iowa State received
the honor because he swam away from all competition in three dis
tance events and paddled to first plac. This is the first time Thomas
has received the title and the sophonore flash deserved it
Sooners Start
Spring Cage I
Drills Soon
Without waiting for the consent
of Congress, Coach Bruce Drake
of Oklahoma will draft 18-year
olds when Sooner spring basket
ball drills start in Norman short
ly. Sophomores up from Coach Je
rome "Shocky" Needy's Boomer
squad will move increasingly into
the varsity picture as Drake al
most completely retools the 1951
Sooner squad which loses four
regulars, Captain Charles Pugs
ley, Marcus Freiberger, Doug
Lynn and Ted Owens, and also
two top reserves, Jim Terrell and
Vernon Turner.
Drake will rush the following
18-year old freshmen into uni
form for the spring drills: Bob
waller, 6-6 tall and 205 pounds,
and Sterling Jones, 6-1 and 170,
from Oklahoma City Classen;

The Geologists took one more
step towards the All-University
basketball championship Thurs
day, but. this time they were
pushed all the way. The Geology
crew defeated Denominational
champion, Newman Club, 55-53
Jn an overtime contest. The win
gave the rock-collectors the All
Unaffiliated crown, Just a step
from the AU-U title.
Newman Club went down to
defeat in the last 15 seconds of
the overtime period on a push
shot by Hal Bettenhausen from
about 15 feet out. Up until that
shot, it was anybody's game.
The Catholics took command at
the start of the game and ran
up an early 8-3 lead on fielders
by Bill Griffin and Neil Campbell.
Jumpin' Jack Yelkin took over
for the Geologists at that point
and the count was knotted with
about three minuts to go in that
irame at 10-10.

but Yelkin had another one com

Geology kept right on moving
in mi tnira quarter on baskets
by Lee Korte and Mahacek and
about midway in that stanza they
held a 11-point 36-25 lead.
Catholics Take Over
And to keeD un with the rhnno-
ing aspect the contest had dis
played thus far. the Newman
Club once more took the offen
sive. Fifteen straight points fell
tnrougn the Catholic nets in that
flurry and the Geologists were
held to a big zero. Entering the
final canto the score stood 40-36,
isewman.
Guard Camnhell and forward
Kroenke led the Newman assult
in that four minutes with able
assistance from Frank McCahe
who looped a couple of long one

Campbell added two more
Points to onen the fourth nimrter

on tne way.
But now, it was the other
teams turn. And Geoloev made
good use of that short space of

Yelkin, Korte and Mahacek
combined to lead the winners to
a tie score at" 46-4fi. Riff Tni
Griffin gave the Catholics the
lead once more with two perfect
hook shots and only two minutes

end of regulation play the count
stood a 50-50.
Bob Kroenke had the answer
in the first of the three over

again on top. Yelkin answered
a minute later with a two-pointer
himself and and the score was
