“Tough Defensd Holds
"Hawks Out of Range

By TEX

MAULE

: The Southern Methodist Mustangs, an icy calm and
deadly basketball team, shot down high-ranked Kansas
University Saturday night, 81-61. The Jayhawks came to
Dallas ranked 12th in the United Press national basket-

ball poll and 18th in the poll

of the Associated Press.

They were never in the game with the cat-quick, aggressive
Methodists. Doc Hayes’ polished team controlled the rebounds, outran
the Kansas fast break, disorganized their pattern plays and, through
it all, fired with beautiful accuracy from all ranges to puncture the

Jayhawk defense.

Probably the strongest factor in
the surprisingly easy Methodist
victor was a tremendous defense
which shut Kansas out of the easy-
shot area under the basket. In the

first half, the Jayhawks could work| "2
the ball in close only six times and|M

hit three of the shots.
- The Mustangs,

hand, had nine shots from point
blank range and scored on all of

them, They sometimes outran the|Car

Kansas defense with a sizzling fast
break for a quick goal, but more
often they bided their time, moving
' the ball quickly and well around

the perimeter of Kansas defenders! Yo
until they could pull a player out|#}§
of position enough to find running Pa ater

room for a driving shot under the

hoop. —
