Dear Phog?

Your wire received this morning. Keplying to it, wish to say
that ay study of your game reveals the following.

In the first half, Kansas had possession of the ball for 11 min, |
26 sec. In the second half, they had possession of the ball
10 min. 20 see. 3

In the first half, Eansas shot seven of ten fouls attempted,

In the second helf, Kansas shot five of twelve attempted. This,

ef course, isn't a true picture of what happened to the fouls

in the second half, beeause frequently Kansas took the ball

out of bounds rather than attempting the shot. Had Kansas

atteupted all the shots, there would have been fifteen attempts,
since Kansas was awarded two shots on two fouls in the second, : a
half plus an added technical. Kanses fouled Indiana but twice , 4
in the second half and both fouls were made, —

y remark to you that percentage basketball failed was on the
basis that Kansas was making a hicher percentage of its fouls
and making fewer fouls, and controlling the ball for more than
half the time, ;

In games studied prior to this, when those things occurred =
namely, one team controls the bell for more than half the tine,
shoots a higher percentage of fouls attempted than ite opponents,
—— fewer fouls than its opponents - thet team won the

ba Gamee

ily chart shows that in the second half, of the twelve called
fouls on Indiana, five were somaitted in the Kansas half of
the floor. In other words, they were playing tremendously age
sressive ball and were covering esge pleyers under their own
basket and in your own half of » floor.

In the second half, the two fouls conmitted by Kansas were
apparently because of location on the floor comnitted offensively
rather than defensively, although neither one was comsitted on
an Indiana player within shooting distance of Indiana's basket.
