stuff again this season, nor wil

About the Kansas Disaster, the Crimson and Gray lost to the
hottest team ever to visit Philadelphia. St. Joseph’s was not “off,”
nor did they fall apart at the seams, but they came up against a team
with a surprise attack and a phenomenal shooting averase. “Phos”
Allen’s charges sank 36 per cent of their shots from the floor in the
whole game, and in the second half dropped 40 per cent or two out
of every five shots.

Coming to Philadelphia with the reputation of superb back-
board patrolling, the J ayhawks won the game on this feature. Their
fast break stemmed from the amazing ability of their big men to
grab the ball under the basket with regularity. As soon as the
Hawks shot, the Jayhawk forwards streaked down the floor, safe
in the realization that their men had the ball.

We are willing to lay so e of that hard-earned P.O. green on
the line that the Hawks will net encounter any team with so much
i

they be walloped so decisively.

Hawks Buried by
Kansas Avalanche

Whether or not Doc Senesky can be
stopped is still a moot point, but it has
been proven beyond all doubt that his
team can be. His team was, and well,
on that sad night of December 30, when
a tall, terrific Kansas five burnt up the
Convention Hall boards and walked off
the floor amidst the greatest ovation
ever given a visiting team here. And a
well-deserved ovation, for in beating St.
Joseph’s 63 to 38, the Jayhawks did
things to Senesky & Co. that no other
team in the country can, will, or could
do.

The Hawks were outrun, outfought,
outthought, and criminaliy outshot. They
battled those mighty Kansans to a stand-
still in the first half and showed indi-
cations that when their shots started to
drop they might erase the 8-point deficit
and go on to win, but the second stanza
brought only an intensification of the
killing Jayhawk attack» and an almost
total collapse of the Crimson defense.
“Phog” Allen has a very fast\club and
plays which make full use of its speed.

The Hawks, admittedly not in the best
of condition after a long holiday layoff,
managed to keep up with Kansas’ very
fast “fast break” for the first twenty
minutes, but in the second half they just
couldnt get back court quickly enough,
and Bob Boylan was often left alone to
face the three big, tricky men streaking
down at him. The fact that Bob didn’t
stop them is hardly a reflection; they
were well nigh unstoppable.

Doc Senesky again shone with 8 field
goals, all of them from impossible angles,
but it was Kansas’ Ray Evans who stole
the show. Besides guarding Senesky

- and keeping him from getting anywhere

close to the hoop, Evans played a whale
of a floor game and hit the cords six
times, three of his goals coming within
a 50 second period.
