New York (U.R) Battle-weary
but brilliant Kansas, bailed now
as undisputed king of college
basketball after its rousing, up
hill victory over La Salle, namea
seven of its sensational stars
Tuesdav to heln carry the United
States banner In the Olympic
games.
Coach Forrest (Phog) Allen,
croud and overjoyed at the
comeback surge staged by the
mighty Jaybawks in last night's
70 to 65 triumph over La Salle
Lawrence. Kan. U.R)
Kansas University's basket
ball victory over La Salle In
New York City Monday night
touched off a student celebra
tion here that soon assumed
aspects of a riot,
Students drove cars over
the lawns of KU's campus,
dodging pedestrians and smash
ing fenders on trees.' Bonfires
were ignited throughout the
- city and as soon as the fire de
partment would extinguish
one another would mushroom
in another section. Several
KUers were doused by fire
men's hoses.
in the semi-finals of the Olym
pic tryouts, quickly exercised
his new-won right to name seven
players to the Olympic, team.
Picks Five Seniors
"I'll pick my five seniors
John Keller. Bill Lienhard, Bill
Hougland, Clyde Lovellette and
Bob Kenny," said the beaming
Allen.
"And with them, those two
star Juniors, Charley Hoag and
Dean Kelley."
The other seven members of
the Olympic team will be picked
thusly: five from the Peoria,
111., Caterpillars, who won the
other semi-final last night by
Irouncing the Phillips Oilers,
and two from the three other
AAU teams that competed in the
tournament
Selection After final
These players will not be se
lected, however, until after the
final game of the Olympic tour
nament at Madison Square Gar
den Tuesday night between Kan
sas and the Caterpillars La Salle
will play the Oilers in a conso
lation. ' One thing is certain in sky
scraping Lovellette, the six foot
nine inch Kansas "point ma
chine," the U.S. will be repre
sented at Helsinki by one of the
greatest players ever to. doa
sneakers. :i
Lovellette racked up an' amaz
ing 40 points, more than half
his team's total Monday night,
but the mere total hardly tells
the story.
Lovellette Sparks Kansas
For it was Big Clyde who ral
lied the Jayhawks from 24-14
deficit and personally scored 16
points in the second period to
close the gap to 40-35 at the
half. And it was a basket by
Clyde that put Kansas ahead fi
nally at 56-55. Again, three
straight baskets by the giant
crushed La Salle's last hopes of
a rally in the fourth period.
Lovellette's big night gave
him a record 864 points for the
season, breaking the old mark of
831 set by Dick Groat of Duke
last season.

Giants Best
By MILTON RICHMAN
Los Angeles U.R) Last
year, tbe slow-starting New York
Giants had to beat their way
back from the bottom, but this
year, Manager Leo Durocher
proclaimed Tuesday, "we're the
ones they'll have to catch."
Although he steadfastly re
fuses to make any pennant pre
dictions a custom he has ad
hered to for many years Dur
ocher leaves no doubt as to which
team he considers best in the
National league.
"Take a look at my pitching
staff," he says, smiling from ear
to ear. "Is there any other team
that can match it in the league?
You bet there ain't!
"Where are the other clubs go-

Jacksonville, Fla. UB) Ted
Williams of the Boston Red Sox
and Gerry Coleman of the New
York Yankees placed their base
ball futures in the hands of Ma
rine Corps doctors Tuesday , in
sisting, "were no better than
anybody else there's no reason
for anybody to pity Us."
The 33-year-old Williams and
the 27-year-old Coleman will re
port to the Marine Air Corps
base Wednesday morning for
physical examinations. Both will
be recalled to active, duty on
May 2 and required to serve two
years if they pass.
Both are captains in the re
serves and served during World
War n, Williams as a flight in
structor and Coleman as a dive
bomber pilot. ,

his crown.
But the 24-year-old New York
campaigner, making his second
title defense since winning the
belt from Ike Williams nearly a
year ago, may be in for a terrific
battle from challenger Lauro
Salas.
The California featherweight
champion, by way of Monterey,
Mex., will be giving important
pounds in his "big chance," yet
his backers think he'll be around
at the finish and going strong.
He has never been kayoed in
more than 70 pro bouts. And he
doesn't expect to blemish that
record Tuesday night

most of the regulars on the other

Jones, Monte Kennedy, George

Durocher's pitching staff is so
much superior to any other that
he well can afford to crow.
"We're a better club all
around," he insists. "Don't for
get we have a pennant under our
belt and that's a great thing for
the morale of the entire team.
Have That Feeling
"We have that feeling now
that nobody can beat us and,
confidentially, I don't think any
one can." .
The Giants look Defter indeed.
Bobby Thompson, hero of last
year's dramatic pennant-clincher,
has adopted a new crouching
stance and has been bombarding
the ball to all fields.
Shortstop Alvin Dark also has
been giving the ball a long ride

Whitey Lockman seems set for
one of the better years of his
career.
