STOP TWO SOONER STARS Victors Shackle High-Scoring Lane and Peck, Holding Each - to Only Nine Points. Gary Thompson and Chuck Dun- can Set Offensive Pace With 21 and 19 Tallies. By Ep GaricH. (A Member of The Star’s Sports Staff.) The long time easy; mark of the Big Seven basketball world, Iowa State, thrust past Okla-| hhoma last night, 71 to 64, to take third place in the conference pre-season basketball tournament in Municipal Auditorium. It was only the second time in the 9-year history of the tournament that the Cyclones have finished in the upper half. The other time was in 1948 when the Cyclones also finished third. -Kansas State and Missouri met for the title before a crowd of 10,500. Cyclones Go Ahead. Iowa State was first to. take a lead after the close early skirmishing when the. Cyclones took advantage of a .4-minute scoreless streak by the Sooners to post a 15-10 advantage. ' The Cyclone lead was demol- ished when Jimmy Peck rustled cotton with two quick’ goals and a free throw, the broke downcourt ame back to take f until a late bom- y the Sooners scored nine poimts in two and one-half minutes while Iowa State was blanked. This gave the Sooners; a 34-29 lead but it was chopped to a single point, 36-35, at the buzzer. Iowa State had outscored the Sooners from the field, 15 to 10, in the period, but some fancy free throw shooting by Okla-| _homa'‘kept the Sooners in there. Hart threw in ten in a row,]| while his mates added six more. | Towa State hit only five chari-| ties, Stall Against Sooners. The Cyclones used a stall mid- way in the first half to force) Oklahoma out of a zone: defense} which was keeping the Cyclones from getting the ball in to their high scoring center, Chuck Dun- can. _ After early goal trading in the second half Iowa State shot out! to a 53-44 lead on the strength} of ten points in three minutes while Oklahoma went-scoreless. From that time on the Sooners never got closer than four points although the Cyclones were con- tent to play stall ball the latter part of the game. Little Gary Thompson, Iowa State’s classy sophomore, led the hitp arade with a 21-point performance, outshining Dun- can, the Cyclone center, who hit eighteen, Duncan was stifled much of the time by the Okla- homa zone defense. which clogged the middle. Hart’s efghteen led Oklahoma, while| Lés Lane, the Sooner hotshot! who had been the scoring leader| .in earlier games,.had a bad night with only nine. Iowa State had a 37.1 percent-| “age from the field on twenty-six| of seventy shots taken. Okla- homa hit 39.1 per cent on eight- €en of forty-six. The Cyclones had a rebound edge of forty-five to thirty-seven, with Duncan snaring fourteen to lead both teams. OKLAHOMA—64._| IOWA STATE—71.

Starters Bear irae Furthermore, the Bengals got all but two of their points out of the starting lineup, They lost three men on fouls. This re- flects M. U.’s only apparant weakness at this writing, lack of proven reserve power. Be- cause of the rugged schedule, Coach Sparky Stalcup has_ not been able to temper his second- liner under fire. Only eight men played in the victories over Iowa .and Indiana. And none could fill the scoring breach at Houston wherr Med Park andjc Beb Reiter were waived out on teils. Lloyd Elmore, veteran gard, who could help ‘this situa- tion, is out of action with a knee}! injury. Yet, the Tigers retain their No. |. 1 rating over the field because of their proven varsity, without Joe Powell, to’a starting berth. Since Powell and Smith took over as regular front-liners, K- State has surged to three con-! secutive victories over Wyom-} ing, Washington and Indiana. Most significant was the: 91-74 thrashing of the defending Big Ten champions. The 17-point spread was fourteen greater than Missouri was able'to whip Indiana on its home court. And, the 70-50 sack of Wyoming, sixth-| place team in the all-College, is| the worst on the Cowboys’ reer} ord to date: K-State will meet California at 9:45 m. Tuesday in what should be the finest of four first- round matches. The: Wildcats are seeking their fourth cham- pionship, having won.the meet} more than any other squad, — K. U.

The Hurricane placed fourth in the all-College, losing the third- place play-off, 68-73, to O. C. U., in two overtimes. The .defending tourney cham- pions own one returning all-con- ference selectee, Guard Dallas Dobbs, plus fine bench strength. Dobbs is averaging 18.7 points, third-best on the pre-meet roles. O.

Lone loss was 77-84 defeat at the hands of College of Pacific in double-overtime. Haldorson Held Down. The victorles over C. U. both were 13-pointers. The Bears naileé# them chiefly through re-| stricting Burdette Haldorson, the Buffaloes’ 6-9 conference scor- ing champion, to a 14.5 average in the series. They also slipped the cuffs on Ohio State’s Robin] Freeman, the nation’s leading pointsmith, in halting the Buck- eyes, 74-63, in their first meet- ing. Freeman got 23; a long fall from his 40-point average. He rung 34 the next night, but Cal covered his mates so well they could put together put sixteen points in the 50-54 defeat. Cal will mount a prolific front- line headed by Bob McKeen, 6-7, 220-pound center, the greatest) scorer in Bear history. He ranks} tenth on the pre-meet scoring tables on a 15.0 average. Larry Friend, 6-4% forward, is ninth at 15.1. His stablemate, 6-2 Bob Blake, is moving at 10.6. The fact that Colorado was able to right itself in playing tough U. C. L. A to a 3-point defeat, 62-65, after the California series shows the prognosticators were not far off the mark in rat- ing the Herd highly before the season.

By Ep GaricH. (A Member of The Star’s Sports Staff.) XPERIENCE not only is uy the best teacher, it also - is the best grindstone : against which to wear off the rough spots and put a ‘high luster of excellence on an jathletic team. That was amply proved last night when Missouri coasted to {the title of the ninth annual Big Seven pre-season basketball ;;tournament. Admittedly Missouri was at a ‘white heat last night, hitting 51 {per cent from the field in the first half and shooting 47.6 per cent for the game. But even in FINAL STANDIN oe Ww.

Only |inexperienced man on the start- ing five is Lionel Smith, a sophomore. Available in reserve is Gary Filbert, a 2-year letter- man. That plus Missouri’s practice (in all sports) of playing tough early season opponents has put a patina on the Tiger team which made it seem on a differ- ent level of excellence than Kansas State in the finals. The Tigers excel in the floor game and in passing, which is sharp. The pass and cut and the drive under the basket from the sideline worked to perfec- tion in the finals.

He is speedy, agressive, a be soon. Smith’s injury was not thought to be severe. Better Days for Cyclones. None can begrudge the sudden emergence of Iowa State as a power. Long the Cyclones have} been easy targets for others in| the conference. No longer is that! true. In Chuck Duncan at center and Gary Thompson at guard the Cyclones have two of the best in the league. Duncan is a letterman of last year but has learned much since then. Only 6-5, the Cyclone post man is a quick, agile center who is a pleasure to watch. And he can) move outside and pop over the} top of the defense when neces-|} Thompson is a real find. The sophomore was a 3-year all. stater in Iowa and single-hand- the state title there as a sopho- top shooter and far more court- wise than most sophomores. The Cyclones will be hard to beat at home. Looking at the Others. he others in the loop and Jimmy Peck, the ers rely again on speed nd hustle, plus Bruce Drake’s agicianship in designing of-j} ensive maneuvers. The Sooners|! lack a good big man in the mid-} dle, which will hurt. The back| line is as well manned as any in the league, though. Drake uses a zone defense quite a bit to offset the lack of rebounding height. This gives his shorter boys better position when the ball hits the backboard. Colorado—Much .-better than they showed in the first round. Experienced (like Missouri) and well rounded, the Buffs will be a contender again. Burdette Haldorson one of the best big men in the loop. Perhaps a little more desire would make the dif- ference here. Kansas—Lots of sophomore talent, lots of sophomore mis- takes. The Jayhawks by mid-} season will be another of Phog| Allen’s hustling, worrisome,| speedy crews, akin to last year! but not up to ‘that level of excel- lence. Lack a good big man in the middle,: which likely could keep the Jayhawks from any big success. Next year should be the year, with all the starters returning. ? Minus Ace Performers. Don’t count Kansas State out, despite the wide loss to Mis- souri. Twa reasons are quickly at hand. The Wildcats played the}. finals without two top perform- ers, Jim Smith and Gene Wilson, Smith injured a knee in the semifinal game against Iowa State and did not play against Missouri. Previously he had been a top scorer (leading in about half the Wildcats games to date) and a tremendous re- bounder (he snared seventeen in one game). . Wilson, the Negro gazelle who is a service returnee, broke a hand in practice but is expected to be a regular when the con- ference season gets under way. He is quick, experienced and can jump with most big men. Consider the difference in Missouri’s effect, just to make a case, if Med Park and Norm Stewart were out of there. | That much difference can be -;expected when the Wildcats get everybody in shape, which will Nebraska—The Huskers, haven’t found themselves yet and may have rough going in the conference, same as they did in the tournament.

Kansas, which led most of the game and by as much as six points with 8% minutes to go, clawed frantically for the ball as it became apparent its season’s first defeat in five games was in the making. But the Cyclones stood them off “down the stretch and the big crowd; ready to claim another underdog as its own, began roaring for the \Iowans. - | It was only the second time in inine years that Iowa State man- aged to win its opening tournament game, the other first-round victory one at the expense of Harvard in 1948. Kansas Outshoots Winners Kansas outshot the Cyclones 28 'to 25 from the floor and outre- bounded the winners, 57 to 53, but. Iowa State made the most of 28 Jayhawk fouls to pour in 32 free throws, only four short of the tour- nament record. Duncan, who tabbed 24 of his 34 points the first half, might have toppled the scoring mark of 39 held by Oklahoma’s Sherman Norton except for running into foul trouble and having to sit out four- re stretch during the second alf. It was while Duncan was cooling joff on the bench that Kansas pushed ahead 72-66 on two consec- utive jump shot goals by Dallas Dobbs, the Jayhawk smoothie from Bartlesville, Okla. Stranningan waited no longer to ‘\get Duncan back in the milling ‘and he promptly connected with a close hook shot to start the Cy- clone comeback. Score Tied Often During the first 11 minutes the score was tied seven times and the lead swapped times. Iowa State only a point at 34-38 five minutes before h e whén Kansas made the game’s menacing move i ve points to shoot ahead, 44-33. Iowa State struck back to cut the gap to seven points at 50-43 by halftime. The Cyclones pulled up steadily on Kansas in the second half, but it wasn’t until Duncan’s two quick ones late in the game that they were able to move in front for the first time since mid- way in the first period. The Jayhawks, starting ‘four sophomores along with Dobbs, a junior, were paced by Gene El- ‘stun’s 18 points, 16 by Dobbs and 10 by Lew Johnson, 6-7 sophomore center, - Kansas State gave the Sun- flower state an even break for the night in the. second game as the Wildeats broke ahead of the guest Bears late in the first half and led the rest of the way despite a 32- point bombardment by Cal’s 6-7 center Bob McKeen. Cal, which came to Kansas City with a 7-1 record, led much of the first 10 minutes and held a , 27-23: bulge when K-State coach Tex Winter sent 6-11 Jerry Jung am-, bling into the milling for the first: time.
