Cold shooting freezes KU,75-66
Maybe it was because it was the first game the young University of Kansas basketball team had played on the road this season.
Or maybe it was the unfamiliar surroundings, or the unfriendly fans. Or maybe even the unseasonably warm weather.
But whatever the reason, KU's shooting touched turned iced cold against Southern
SPORTS
Methodist University last night. The result was a 75-66 loss to the Mustangs in a non conference game played in Moody Coliseum in Dallas.
The loss drops KU to 1-1, the same as SMU. The Jayhawks' next game is Saturday night against St. Louis, which will take place in its season opening, 80-79 last Saturday.
THE JAYHAWKS WERE simply unable to get any shots to fall in the first half last night. The Mustangs, using a tenacious 2-1-2 zone defense, kept Kansas from getting the ball into center Ken Koenigs and the lack of outside shooting couldn't draw the zone out.
KU didn't manage a field goal until 13:18
remained in the first half when Herb Nobile
scores on a layup. By that time, the
play was over and he pulled the ball
no longer than eight of the rest.
As a team, the Jayhawks managed only eight field goals the entire first half, shooting a dismal 22 per cent. Only seven free throws by Koenigs kept Kansas in the game. The Mustangs, who shot only 31 per cent themselves, led 35-23 at the half.
KOENIGS, WHO BIT 13 of 18 from the field while scoring 32 points last Saturday night, shot only three times in the first half. He eventually finished last night's game with 15 points, but several of those came after the game was decided.
Kansas started quickly in the second half, scoring the first three times it had the ball and it looked for a moment as if the Jayhawks were going to get back into the game. But the Mustangs, behind 6-8 center Ira Terrell, refused to let up.
Terrell, who had only four points in the first half, finished with a game-high 17. Many of those points came in the early part of the second half as the Mustangs built a lead that stretched to 19 points, 60-41, on one occasion.
SMI MADE GOOD USE of a fast break throughout the contest, taking advantage of Jayhawk turnovers and turning them into easy layups. They also dominated the game while the rest were unable to keep the Jayhawks from getting near one shot through most of the contest.
The Jayhawks were again short handed, playing without centers Donnie Von Moore and Randy McFarland. Moore is probably out for the season with lung problems. Mokesi is bothered by a pulled hamstring, and he is considered unable for Saturday's game with St. Louis.
The SMU game was the last time the young Jayhawks will be on the road for the first time in the Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. at the end of December, KU's only other chance to gain some room experience before the final game will be at Oral Roberts University on Jan. 8.
When Bud Moore came to the University of Kansas, no one expected any miracles.
The Jayhawks had only won four of 11 games in 1974, and many of the top players from that team had graduated. A winning season saw them win a bowl bid was out of the question.
So what happens? Moore comes in, loses his first game to a poor Washington State team, then turns everything around and wins seven of the last 10 games for a 7-4
Moore named top coach
record. That was good enough for a bid to the Sun Bowl and a 18th ranking nationally.
For that achievement, with a team the experts picked to finish seventh in the league. Moore was named the Big Eight coach the year by the Associated Press报导
But Moore wasn't the only Jayhawk honored yesterday. Nolan Cromwell, who Moore moved from safety to direct his win-and-loss strategy, the league's offensive player of the year.
Bud Moore
THE ONLY PROMISING THING about the loss was the second half play of forward Norm Cook. That marked the first time this season that Cook, a 6-foot-9 junior, displayed the kind of talent that caused the ABA Utah Tornado to draft him in the second round of the 2014 NCAA four points in the first half, fired in 12 after intermission.
And for the Jayhawk's surprising turndown, messa was named the most surprising turtling.
And none of the votes were even close.
Moore received 18 of the 24 votes cast for coach of the year. Tom Osborne of Nebraska was a distant runner-up with 5% votes and Bill Mallory of Colorado got the other one-half vote.

Cromwell, who easily led the league in rushing with 1,124 yards, received 17 of 24 votes. Joe Washington of Oklahoma received four votes and Dave Williams of Tony Davis of Nebraska and Steve Piskariew of Missouri gave a vote applause.
The Jayhawks completely dominated the voting for most surprising team. Nebraska received 1½ votes. Colorado one-half vote and the Jayhawks got the rest.
Cooked the Jawhacks in scoring with 16 points. Koenigs had 15 and guard Clint Johnson was the only other KU player in double figures with 14. Reuben Shelton had eight, Mit Gibson six, Herb Nobles five and scoring two to round out the KU scoring.
Kansas has one game remaining, the Sun
Bowl on Dec. 26 in El Paso, Tex. Moore said
the team would resume workouts next
away and would travel to El Paso on
Dec. 20.
Terrrell paced the Mustangs with 17, and forward Pete Lodwick added 16.
Griffin wins 2nd Heisman
NEW YORK (AP) - Ohio State's Archie Griffin, major college football's first 5,000 yard runner, overcame his lack of size, survived the tufts of 11 teams determined to ring his bell and became the first two players of the coveted Heisman Trophy yesterday.
"Being tagged the Heisman winner, naturally guys on other teams were after me more this year. They all tackled me like this, but they still played like upsets like. Get up, Heisman Trophy-winner."
Southern Methodist, Ohio State's Vic Janowicz and Navy's Roger Staubach.
"There was a lot of pressure this year," the 5-foot-9, 18-pound senior tailback said after becoming the first Heisman reporter. "I had to just let it go. The Army's Doc Blanchard, Doak Walker of
KU guard Clint Johnson scored 14 points last night
Griffin, who has rushed for 5,178 yards in four seasons, will wind up his collegiate career in a fourth consecutive Rose Bowl, this time against UCLA.

KU-Y's annual
The Montreal Olympic Games are a long eight months off. The NCAA outdoor championships are six months away. The Nike team is in first place and the first away meet comes up in five weeks.
The meet will feature 16 men's events and
9 women's. The last event, the men's mile race
But University of Kansas track athletes are starting their season tonight as they compete in their annual intrasquid meet at Allen Field House.
Field events for both men and women begin at 6:30, and running events, beginning at 7:45.
If past form is followed, however, the
meet won't end when the last place runner crosses the finish line. That perennial time consumer, the pole vault, will probably see to that.
If the vaulting competition stretches much past 9, it means that Terry Porter, a former KU vaulter now competing for the Gulf Coast Track Club, and Tad Scales are visiting the bar. Scales set the intranasal pole vault record last year at 15-foil-1.2.
Track opens season
Isadora and Her Avocado Plant.
Other former KU track athletes who compete along with Porter are middle distance runner Lowell Paul, long jumpers Rex Hankins and Ricky McCarthy of NCAA high jump champion Randy Smith.

We promised all of you who came out to see "The Passenger" that we would be bringing more films by the best of the foreign directors, and posed of a series of surreal blackout sketches grouped as a theme of man's perversive pleasure in paradox. A masterful work by a masterful director: Luis Bunuel. TIME made it one of the 10 best movies of 1971—but we, in our ignorance, had passed it by until now. You've earned it with your support—and we hope you will do so. I said before only 1,000 of you care enough about this type of film to buy a ticket; we will make sure that you have the films to see. Thank you for your support.
