BIG SEVEN.-- Continued from Page One. is also the third year in a row that Missouri has won. The most important fact in the 1953 victory was that’ Mis- souri, led by 6-foot 8-inch cen- ter Bob Reiter, had too much | height and rebounding power for | the shorter Cyclones. Control Boards. Control of the boards gave them control of the ball, and the Tigers didn’t waste the oppor- ‘tunity. They unleashed a trio of hot shooters who overcame the ‘fact that State’s Chuck Duncan was high scorer with 19 points. Reiter, who gathered : three fouls in a hurry and sat out about half of the game, still managed 14 points, as did guard Med Park. The other “villain” | was smooth sophomore forward Norm Stewart, 6-4, who tossed in 16. Park, scoring 11 of his points in the second half, was double trouble for the Cy- clones, for he did a magnifi- cent patrol job on Dutch Van Cleave, holding him to eight points, Stewart, assisted by Lloyd Elmore, was the gunner at the start as the Tigers took off into a 15-7 lead. Only Duncan was able to tally a single point for the losers during this stretch. Juggies Lineup. Just when the crowd of 9,000 was settling back for a rout, Coach Chick Sutherland man- aged to juggle around until he found a warmer crew. Duncan and Van Cleave of the starting five teamed wth three huskies—Barney Alle- man, Dean Nims and Howard Johnson — to throw a little weight around and_ climb back into the game. All were scoring as the Cy- clones climbed up to within 19- 18 early in the second quarter. The effort, though, was tiring and halfway through the period Reiter suddenly came to life and threw in three quick hook shots to reopen a 7-point lead. 38-30 at Half. It was, thanks to Johnson’s desperation long that dropped after the gun, only 38-30, favor of Missouri, at the half. It be- gan to look dark again in a hurry. Although Reiter picked up his fourth foul in no time, and went to the bench, Park started hit- ting. Reiter’s sub, Bilf Holst, also bagged a couple of goals as the Tigers roared int® a 58-38 lead. Larry Wetter fand Van Cleave, who had done almost no scoring for Jowa State, started doing tNat job. The Cyclones made it up to 59-47 going into the final quarter, then closed to 69-61 near the end, Howard Franks’ goal, Dun- can’s free throw and baskets by Tom LeBuhn and Wetter ac- counted for the nine straight Cyclone points. Then the Tigers started stalling to run out the game. Accurate free throwing helped the winners. They made 30 of 39 tries from the line but were outscored by Iowa State from the field. Iowa State made only 15 of 28 charity tosses. 34 Per Cent. The Cyclones got 25 goals on 74 tries for 34 per cent, which was better than Missouri’s 22 of 68 for 32 per cent. But the Tig- ers had better shots. Iowa State and Colorado will meet at 2 p. m. Tuesday in the opening game of consolation play. Kansas and Missouri will clash at 8 p. m.

Except for the first quar- ter, during which the scére was tied twice, Colorado was a badly beaten club. Kansas led, 17-14, at the first ‘quarter and 35-27 at the half. The Jayhawks, using a full court press much of the third quarter, were in front by 62-41 with 10 minutes to go. Bob Jeangerard, Colorado guard, was the high scorer with 23 points.

The only exceptions were 1946, when SMU edged Kan- sas in the final, and 1949 when Missouri clipped Oklahoma. Not a single team will come into the meet unbeaten. As a matter of fact, only Kansas State at 4-1, and Iowa State at 2-1, owned winning records thru games of December 19.. Opponents are hoping for a Kansas defensive sag this year, - after one and a half seasons of being subjected to the most vicious picketing the confer- ence ever has seen. In losing to Tulane and LSU, and beating Tulsa, Jayhawker restriction has shown slight resemblance to the dread Porcupine Patrol , Of last season. Kansas State, meanwhile, is striving to reel-in the slack caused by Dick Knost- man’s .0ss by employing three underclassmen in each start. Jerry Jung, 6-11 Hutchinson project, opened at the pivot, but since has given way to Roger Craft, sinewy 6-7 Garden Cityan. Both are splitting time with Jim Frary, 6-7 sophomore.

KANSAS CITY, MO.—There was a “cyclone” loose in Muni- cipal Auditorium here Wednes- day afternoon but it wasn’t the Iowa State basketball team which bears that nickname. Kansas State, going into the | second quarter trailing by three, rushed home 30 points in 10 minutes to build a solid base for an eventual 98-77 victory. Iowa State, owner of a sur- prise 25-22 lead at the end of the first quarter, suddenly became very impotent at scoring, making one field goal in an eight-point second pe- riod. The Wildcats, bys virtue of the victory in the losers’ bracket in the annual Big Seven tourna- ment, finished ‘fifth. Iowa State wound up sixth. The surprise in Iowa State’s | lost by 21 points but that they & lost by only 21 points. after be- ing haunted by such a horrible eight minutes, _ It was 52-33 at intermis- sion, but Coach Chick Suth- erland’s team scrapped back to cut the lead to 70-58 and they might have better if center Ch can and, later, Don D hadn’t fouled out. Duncan is the Cyclones’ big-’ gest at 6 feet 5 inches. And he was also their best with 21 points and. 12 rebounds. It was also Chuck’s absence in the sec- |. ond quarter—he was taken out with three fouls—that opened the gates, 14 Straight Points. It was a 32-30 game, favor of K-State, when Duncan went out. Starting at 38-32, the Wildcats ripped off 14 straight points to run up their halftime lead. By the time the Cyclones got in scoring stride again, they trailed by 24 points at 59-35. A problem that will be- come familiar during the yay. In the first half: largely. 6-11 Jerry g, who bagged 14 points. Jung, who can out-rebound most of the Cyclones standing flatfooted (and generally does), was removed early in the sec- ond half. The report is that he had a dent in his brow which needed X-ray. Balanced scoring—tnere were five Wildcats who tallied 11 or more—was a big aid to the Kansas State, which shot 47 per cent. Jesse Prisock was high with 16.’ Starts 2 Newcomers. Sutherland started a pair of newcomers, guard Tom LeBuhn and forward Howard Johnson, and both played well, Johnson, a good shot, tallied 13 points, six less than the ever-valuable Dutch Van Cleave.

With anything approaching their early pace, yany one of the four must be conceded a chance at the tournament point pennant. Van Cleave will come | in tied for second on the con- ference pre-tournament scor- ing tables with a 17.7 average in four games. Segar is fourth with 15.9 in six; Stauffer fifth with 15.6 in five, and Lane sixth with 15.3 in four. Van Cleave is likely to see his average shrink under stress of more severe competition since the Cyclones have met only Colorado A & M, Creigh- ton,- Grinnell and Drake. The other three have been shooting against major targets in al- most every start. Segar has collected his last 37 points on ‘the road against Oregon State and Oregon. Stauffer will be under clos- est scrutiny since he is the ieading pointsmith of the de- fending -champions who are given a better-than-average chance of becoming’ the first team to bag two titles in suc- cession, Big Seven Meet Opens Tonight KU, K-State Rated Top Entries — BY DICK SNIDER Daily Capital Sports Editor ANSAS CITY, MO. — Fa- -vorites. are as scarce as Orange Bowl tickets as the Big Seven’s basketball squads, plus guest team Washington, prepare to tip off the eighth annual pre-season tournament tonight in Municipal Audi- torium. With no outstanding favor- ite in the field, the affair is rated wide open from the first whistle, which sends Kansas, the defending conference king, against Colorado at 8 p. m. Missouri meets Iowa State in the 9:45 second half of the opening doubleheader. \ The other four tourney e tries get into the millin day night, with lower br Piet first-round games, They match Kansas State and Nebraska at 8 p. m., and Oklahoma and Washington at 9:45. Semifinals are scheduled , Tuesday night,- and finals Wednesday. Consolation games ‘will be played in afternoon doubleheaders starting Mon- day.. By force of habit, Kansas and Kansas State will shoulder the favorites burden, but it’s lighter than in any previous league tournament. However, these Sunflower State squads have won four of the seven previous meets, and are shaky picks to play in the finals again this time. .KU won it all only once—in 1951 —hbut has been a finalist on three other o¢casions. K-State 1949 and last ou’re superstitious, your should be Kansas, nce no champion ever has repeated. K-State will pace the best record into the tournament, a 4-1 mark that includes single victories over Denver and Wy- - oming, a double triumph over — Washington, and a whopping 92-66 loss to defending cham- pion Indiana. Kansas stands at 1-2 on the year, having flogged Tulsa af- ter dropping two games to Tu- lane and Louisiana State on a season-opening southern tour. Ony one other team, Iowa State, will go into the tourna- “TEx WINTER « » + In. tourney debut ~ ment with a record on the ‘sunny side of .500. The Cy- clones have won three and lost ‘one. Missouri is all even at 2-2, and the rest of the oe lag behind. Oklahoma and Kansas have won only one game apiece, and Colorado. and Washington are winless. The Buffs have dropped . five in a row, the Huskies from the Pacific Coast’ conference four straight—two each to Stanford and Kansas State. Nebraska, with a 2-4 record, generally is given the best chance to unseat the title-hog-° ging Sunflower squads. The Huskers have shown promise, and will field a veteran squad headed by. 6-7 center Bill John- son and guard Fred Seger. Oklahoma, which lost all three tourney games it played here last year, also will bear watching. The Sooners also will start a veteran five topped by little Les: Lane, southpaw Ron Blue and center Bob Waller. However, OU’s customary lack of height. again is a prob- lem. Waller is the tallest Sooner — at 6-6 ,and the replacement line is thin. Misouri has a big one in Bob Reiter, 6-8 center, and a promising ‘squad. The Tigers, like Oklahoma and Nebraska, could figure in the title pic- | ture. KU. and K-State, despite’ pressing. problems, still rate | as the best’ bets, however. Kansas coach Phog Allen has back towering center B. H. Born and forwards Al Kelley and Harold Patterson from last season’s conference champs and NCAA runners-up. But Allen still is looking for guards to ‘match the all-round skill of graduate Gil Reich and Dean Kelley. State, which lost Dick Knost- | man by graduation and 6-8 — Gary Bergen on a transfer to | Utah, has a tender spot at cen- | ‘ter, and has been experiment- ing with 6-11 Jerry Jung and a couple of 6-7 hopefuls, Roland Craft and sophomore Jim ‘Frary. New "K-State coach Tex Win- ter is expected to open with . Craft. ‘Tourney officials say plenty of tickets for the first two | nights of action remain. They’re | priced at $1, $2, and $3, and are available at the auditorium. Unexpected the Rule Big Seven Meet Zany BY DON PIERCE Special Correspondent OW many ambushes await favorites in the eighth an- nual Big Seven basketball tour- nament which gets out of the starting gate Saturday in Kan- sas City’s municipal audito- rium? What odd outcroppings of team performance and bi- zarre player incidents will mark the affair? Those are the magnets that again will draw sellout houses in the 10,000-capacity round- ball palace at least three of the four playing nights and con- tinue to project the affair as one of the nation’s finest, de- spite its.comparatively youth- ful existence. This is the meet that already has produced two high-scoring overtime matches without prec- edent in regular ‘league play, Kansas’ 90-88 win over Kansas State in the 1951 semifinals and Stanford’s 103-102 edging of Iowa State in the first con- solation round of the same meet. This is a tournament in which Iowa State, a team that hasn’t won 2 league cage flag since 1945 and‘has dropped 13 con- secultive conference decisions to Kansas State, is the only club which holds an-edge over. the Wildcats in tourney play. It tis only 1-0, the Cyclones having captured the only match between the two. But State is 0-7 against a combination of Missouri and Kansas while State holds a bulge over all other comers. The meet stellar performer like also has seen 4 Mis- souri’s win Wilfong blanked from the field for a full game, And it once produced an all- tournament team, the 1949 five, that did not include a sin- gle member of Missouri's championship five. _ Also consider this rare back- drop: Only post-men ever have won a meet individual scoring | championship. Yet none holds the single-game point record: Three men, Oklahoma’s Sher- man Norton, the record-holder with 39; Minnesota’s Maynard Johnson and Kansas State’s Dick Knostman, with 38. each, have nailed more points in a Tourney Bracket FIRST ROUND PAIRINGS 8 p. m. Saturday: ‘Kansas vs. rado. 9:45 p. m. Saturday: lowa State vs. oe p. m. Menday: Noack 9:45 p. m. _ Monday: Oklahoma vs. Washington. Colo- Kansas State VS “Two teams, Colorado in 1949, and Stanford in 1951, have come into the meet with unde- feated records, but never even reached the finals. Nebraska once outscored Iowa State, 19-1, in the overtime period to notch an 86-67 consolation tri- umph in 1948. ' Jim Stange, who still is co- holder: of the: school record for most points and most free throws in a single game, potted a goal for Nebraska in this one, wheeling into the wrong goal after snaring a jump ball. The last two finals have ended in tears, boos and: rhu- “barbs. SMU set a pattern for the unexpected in the inaugural meet by winning the champion- ship as one of the two guest teams. The Mustangs did so by clipping Kansas, 49-46, in the finals. No other invited five... Washington is completing the eight-team bracket this year e+. ever has won the crown. . Kansas State added impetus to what has become an annual surprise motif in the same meet by ambushing Oklahoma’s eventual NCAA runners-up, ; 59-55, in the opening round of the meet despite a 24-point sa- lute by Sooner pivot, Gerald Tucker. The Wildeats since have be- come the tourney’s most domi- nate team, winning three championships .,.. no other club has won more than one .,. and clearing the. first Found: in every meet. » Yet that blank against the Cyclones, persists. It was ac- complished chiefly by a pair of midget: guards, 5-9 Bob Pet- — _ersen and 5-8 Don Ferguson, who rollicked 1or an aggregate of 23. points: as the Iowans scored a 56-53 upset in the 1948 third-place playoff. ~ Missouri won the ’49 title by - edging Oklahoma, 44-42, in the finals, after disposing of Colo- rado, 62-51,,and Michigan, 47- starting five of Bill Stauffer, Don Stroot, J erry Fowler, Bob. Wachter and George Lafferty earned a first-team all-meet | berth. Wilfong, since. lifted. by ‘the | armed forces, ‘drew his hand- cuff in last year's meet from Kansas guard Dean Kelley who restricted him to four points from the free throw line. Had the versatile Tiger sentinel merely notched .his. season’s average ‘of 11.1 KU could not have scored. that 66-62 semi- | final upset. Norton cut his record in the — opening round of 1951 as Ok- lahoma, upset Stanford, 77-71.
