Championship Trip Is Sixth for KU
By DON PFANNENSTIEL
Assistant Sports Editor
"On to Helsinki." "We've got the Big Dipper," and "Houston in March" were familiar classics of students of the University of Kansas in 1952, 1957 and 1961.
The Jayhawks' presence in the NCAA championships this weekend isn't anything new. KU has participated in the championship round five other times since the tournament's organization in 1939: 1940, 1952, 1953, 1977 and 1971.
In 1940, under the direction or vice- coach Forest C. "Phog" Allen, KU placed second in the NCAA tournament when it fell to Indiana, 60-43, in the championship KU had advanced to the finals after defeating Southern California, 43-42, and Rice 50-3.
In 1952 KU won the national championship, its first NCAA championship and the first for a member of the then Big Seven conference.
The most familiar names on the 1932 team were Clyde Lovellette, the two-time All-
American, and Dean Kelley, the captain and playmaker.
When it entered the NCAA championships that year KU had a 24-2 record. The 'Hawks had defeated Texas Christian, 68-44, and St. Louis, 74-55, in the regional tournament.
Led by Lovettele, KU easily defeated its final two opponents in the championships in Seattle. In the first game against Santa Clara, KU led 2-1. Jayhawks defeated Santa Clara, 74-55. Because it was an Olympic victory, the victory over Santa Clara assured KU a berth in the Olympic tryouts. The fans of the bats on To Haisku, the site of the 1982 Olympics.
"We just had a darn good team that year with outstanding players," the athletic director A.C. Lonberg said. "We were also the 1952 team, similar to this year's team because that team had seven players that played a lot, and of course those seven eventually went to
National Champs!

Local Firm Low Bidder For Field House Floor
The low contract bid for the construction of a concrete base in Allen Field House was $64,590, submitted by Kansas Construction Company. The director of purchases, said yesterday,
"I was a little disappointed with the amount of the bid," said Clyde Walker, athletic director. "I expected something in it, but I didn't." But the amount does look within our scope.
Costs for the first phase of the improvements on the field house, which include removable bleachers and a synthetic surface for basketball and field events, could be $20,000 to $25,000 above the original estimates. Walker said.
"But, of course, the cost will depend upon the amount of the bids on the synthetic
surface. and the specifications for the surface haven't been written yet," Walker said. "It's a step-by-step process. First we get the bids back for the foundation and then we write specifications and let out bids for the surface."
The original estimate for the synthetic surface and the removable bleachers was $250,000, which will be funded partly by students' student activity fees collected before 1966.
John's of Brooklyn, which had beaten favored Illinois in its first game. The Hawks won 12-6, and John's, 80-63, and the Hawks were national champions. In the championship game Lovelier again scored 33 points and was named the tournament's outstanding player.
Other contract bids submitted were $89,384 by Lawrence Construction Co. of Lawrence; $73,000 by B.A. Green Construction Co. of Topeka; and $79,000 by M.W. Watson Construction Co. of Topeka, according to Knoutt.
According to Lonberg, a tremendous turnout greeted the 'Hawks when they returned to Lawrence from Seattle. He said that some people were shocked by 60th and Massachusetts Streets at 2:00 a.m.
The next weekend KU continued its quest for basketball dominance when it participated in the Olympic tryouts. After winning three of four, Missouri State Teachers College, 92-65, KU beat the NIT champion, LaSalle, 70-65, behind Lovelace's 40 points. KU was then the nation's No. 1 collegiate basketball team, beating seven men on the U.S. Olympic team.
in the championship game of the Olympic tryouts, KU lost to the Peoria Cappillars, the AAU champions, 62-60. The 'Hawks finished the 1952 season with a 2-3 record. The 1953 team returned only two experienced lettermen and the outlook wasn't pleasant. The Haws had to study in 1952, was expected to be the key to a successful KU season, Born, with the help of the Kelley brothers, Dean and Al, surprisingly carried the Jayhawks to the NCAA finals for the second straight year. The 1953 team had acquired the name the "wonder team" because of its achievements. After winning the Midwest Regional the Hawks had a 18-5 record and entered the NCAA finals in Kansas City's
KU 'opened the tournament with a surprising 79-31 victory over Washington, the nation's No. 2,ranked team. The win placed KU in the championship game against No. 1. The teams were heavily favored but KU came within two points, 99-88, of upsetting Indiana.
"The 1933 team was also like this year's team," Lonborg said. "After the season started they finally put everything together. Maybe the 1933 team was a little faster, but they weren't as big. Also they played the same forcing defense as this year's team."
"Kivisto is a lot like Dean Kelley was then," he said. "Both are ballanders and Dean played most of the game. He was a wizard, and he was inspirational just like Kivisto."
KU coach Ted Owens said Allen called the 1953 team the "mononeose press team."
"Dr. Allen use to show a film about a mongoose and a cobra," Owens said. "It showed how the mongoose with its quickness would get the cobra. He told his players to play defense like that and that is how they played."
In 1957 Wilt Chamberlain, alias "Big Dipper," alias "Wilt the Still," led KU to its fourth appearance in the national tournament. When they entered the NCAA finals in Kansas City, Mo., the Hawks were ranked No. 2 in the nation with a 23-3 record. The Jayhaws breezed to the championship game with an easy opening victory over San Ketu. However, the next night KU met its match against Oklahoma in a thrilling triple overtime game, KU was defeated, 54-53. For many the loss was a shock.
After a 14-year absence, KU went to the NAACA championship again, in 1971. Consequently, the regular season won by 25, record KU, 36-25, over Wichita. In two closely-fought games the Hawks escaped as the regional champions. KU defeated Houston, 78-77, and Drake, 73-71.
In the opening game in Houston's Astrodrome KU met permanently powerful UCLA. The Hawks kept the game close until runway through the second half when they defeated Minnesota 7-6, winning KU also lost the consolation game to Western Kentucky, 77-75. They the 27-3

RAPE
I've taught this course for years at the University of Kansas, at military bases in Europe, and at a modeling agency in Kansas City, Missouri.
Have you ever attended court when a rape case was being tried? I have. Unlike television portraits, this rapist was sent to prison for the rest of his life.
I recall that the people around me murmured approval when the sentence was read—society had scored a point, IT had been protected.
The above happened in 1968: Most people can't do anything to help prevent the spread of swine flu. Dr. Shanen Kowalei, a surgeon at Okinawa Karan-Koi Kanou Riyu Karate. In 1968 I developed a self defense course structured to meet the particularized needs of women, with the courses dealing only with falls and injuries from falling on rocks. We also armed and trained a casual bake by a would be "friend" whom you do not wish to get into trouble with.
I also recall the victim. She murmured nothing and no smile touched her lips. He said she had been sentenced to prisonishment of her assistant could't possibly make up for the pain she had suffered during her incarceration.
