The Cinderella Jayhawkers' Clock Struck Midnight
Cinderella's golden chariot turned
back to a pumpkin Saturday night.
nock to a pumpkin Saturday night
The clock struck 12 when the
Kansas Jayhawkers, riding a five-
game winning streak, dropped a
73-37 decision to last year's Big
Eight champs, the Colorado Buffaloes.
And CU's Ken Charlton certainly wasn't the Cinderella Jayhawker's gallant prince.
CHARLTON, WITH a glass knee instead of a glass slipper; ripped the KU defense for 35 points on 11 of 13 shots from the field and 13 of 13 from the charity line.
The CU forward, who had 50 ce's of fluid extracted from his lame knee last Wednesday, led the Golden Buffaloes to a first-half 44-24 margin over KU as he hit eight of nine shots from the field — all close under the basket. Hawkers Jim Dumas and Jay Roberts were unable to stop him once he got the ball on the short post.
But the first half wasn't all Charlton, it was the whole. Buff squad.
it was the whole Bult squad. More than 10,000 fans, the largest KU crowd of the season, saw coach Sox Walseth's crew hit an amazing 71 per cent of their shots from the field during the opening stanza (17-24), most of them crip shots under the basket.
AND THE BUFFS didn't let up much during the second half, either, hitting 63 per cent for the whole game on 25 of 40 attempts.
In comparison, the Jayhawkers hit on icy 24 per cent of their shots from the field during the first half, but warmed up in the second half, lifting 47-per cent. For the night, KU hit 24 of 68 shots from the field for a mediocre 35 per cent.
In spite of the drubbing on the scoreboard, due mainly to a loose Kansas defense and the jump that CU got in the first half, coach Dick Harp's Hawkers were out-rebounded by the taller Buffs by only two 38-36.
The Buffs came into the game with a set offensive pattern, still smarting from the 70-64 setback that KU had given them in the opening round of the Big Eight tournament two weeks ago.
THEIR PLAN was to exploit the greatest Jayhawker weakness, lack of height. It eventually left KU's 6-1 forward Jimmy Dumas covering 6-6 Charlton on the post.
Colorado did this by drawing the Hawker center, 6-7 George Unseld, away from the basket. If Unseld guarded Charlton, Charlton moved out of the pivot. If Unseld guarded CU center Jim Davis, Davis moved out of the pivot.
Unseld guarded Davis during most of the game, leaving Charlton to pop away at the basket at will over the shorter Dumas.
Another blow that killed the Jayhawkers was an eight-minute field goal drouth which they broke only 15 seconds before half-time on John Matt's hook shot. KU was trailing by only five, 23-18, when the cold spell struck, but then the Buffs outscored them 21-6 to the end of the period.
THE HAWKERS warmed up considerably in the second half as they began to find the range from the outside. With just more than seven minutes left in the game, it looked as if the Hawkers still had the fire that carried them to the Big Eight tournament championship, as they trailed by only nine, 59-50.
But Colorado had the game under control and played it cautiously the last seven minutes, settling for free throws on desperate KU fouls and
an occasional layup to pad its margin.
On the individual basis, CU forward Milt Mueller backed Charlton's 35-point output with 14, and Davis added 12.
Expensive Hamburger
Unsheld, who had his second 20-points-or-better game in a row (he scored 26 against K-State last Saturday), was the top Hawker with 20. Nolen Ellison and Harry Gibson had 15 and 11 points, respectively, and Kerry Bolton had his best night of the season, hitting four of seven from the field for eight points.
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — Frank Hobbs got his $250 hamburger back yesterday, but it's going to cost him $50 to get lettuce put on it.
The 36-inch plastic hamburger was stolen from atop Hobbs' car where it advertised his charboiler. It was found in an alley but "the bun had been split in half and the lettuce was gone." Hobbs said.
