It see-sawed for a few points,
then the Jayhawks.slowly pulled
| ahead to a 42-39 halftime lead.
| Free throwing maintained this
margin for eight minutes of the
| third quarter when Kansas was
goalless.
| Patterson, an amazing re-
‘bounder at 6-3, broke this |
drought with his first field goal |
—then promptly turned around |
and gave the Sooners one by
touching the rim on a missed
long shot.

Patterson wound up with

12 points, Kelley had 17 and

Born 13. This kind of firing

~ was too much for Oklahoma

| which had only Lane, Ron

Blue (12) and Sterling Jones
(11) scoring well.

There were no less than 105

four-year grasp on this title by
teams from the sunflower state.
Oklahoma’s loss was its fourth
in seven games.

Play Monday.

These same two teams open
the Big Seven Conference sea-
son Monday night at Lawrence.
