TeamDesireProduces UpsetOve Wyoming
"I'm sure they had made up their minds to win, and that's why we won."
This was KU coach Dick Harp's explanation shortly after his underdog Kansas Jayhawkers had crushed Wyoming last night in Allen Field House, 75-57.
By Ben Marshall
ON SECOND THOUGHT, however, there were several other contributing factors to KU's win.
The hotshot Hawkers, who hit a warm 43 per per cent of their field goal attempts during the game, featured a well-balanced scoring attack and a tight defense that kept the Cowboys hogtied all night long.
There could have been no other immediate explanation why the scrappy Hawkers had upset a team that had pushed nationally-ranked Wichita University into an overtime before losing last week.
"This was the best game Nolen (Ellison) has ever had since he's been here. And the same thing goes for Jimmy Dumas, too," Coach Dick Harp said of his senior duo.
Leaders of the Crimson and Blue assault were seniors Jimmy Dumas and Nolen Ellison, who paced the KU scorers with 18 and 16 points, respectively. Dumas also pulled down 14 rebounds to lead the team in that department.
JUNIOR FORWARD Harry Gibson and sophomore center George Unseld also boosted the Jayhawker attack, hitting for 14 and 13 points, respectively, and snagging 15 rebounds between them.
Tuesday, Dec. 11, 1962
Rookie guard Dave Schichtle, who added seven points to the KU cause, teamed with Ellison to put the clamps on prize Wyoming sophomore Flynn
Robinson, holding him to 17 points. Robinson previously scored 33 against Wichita.
The fired-up Jayhawkers seldom had trouble with Wyoming, although the game Cowboys held the KU margin in check for the first 15 minutes of the game.
KU began the move on an Ellison free throw and two quick buckets by Dumas and Schichtle. Following a 20-foot jump shot by Cowboy forward Randy Richardson, which made it 35-29, Ellison came back to steal the ball and score, Gibson added a free throw, and reserve center John Matt hooked in a 10-footer.
KU, which led by as much as 23 points late in the game, reared back after the intermission to build a 13-point margin, at 55-42, with 10 minutes remaining to play. And the Hawkers did it with their most balanced effort of the season.
LEADING 30-27, with 4:24 to go in the first half, Wyoming's shooting ran cold and the Hawkers romped to an 11-point margin, 40-29, at the intermission.
But the Jayhawkers didn't stop with the job half finished.
SHORTLY AFTER HALFTIME, the Cowboys cut KU's lead to 40-35, only to fall back by 12 with 6:49 left to play, at 58-46.
Then the Hawkers went wild as they scuttled the Wyoming defense with a deliberate ball-control game. Gibson got loose for two crip shots under the basket. Ellison, Schichtle and Unseld added five free throws, and Dumas got a fielder and two more free tosses.
This scoring burst gave the Jayhawkers a 71-52 margin with 2:22 remaining, when the reserves took over.
Icy Highways Create New Cage Book Mark
Add another category to the KU basketball record book.
BY ROY MILLER
Make it read, "Games delayed by late arrival of officials—KU vs. Wyoming, 1962."
Icy highways in northeastern Kansas last night caused the delay of the opening tipoff of the Kansas-Wyoming basketball tilt by 30 minutes.
The game's officials, slowed down by the icy conditions in their attempt to reach Lawrence from Kansas City by automobile, didn't toss up the ball for the tinoff until 8:05.
The usual starting time is 7:30.
THIS IS THE first time in the history of Allen Field House that a varsity basketball game has been delayed by tardy officials, according to Don Pierce, KU sports publicity director.
Better add a qualification to that new record book category, however. "It probably happened before up at Hoch." Pierce added, referring to the Jayhawks' old home court in the auditorium.
The game would have started even later had not the pair of officials, Ron Dredith, Greeley, Colo., and Roy Preston, Kansas City, Mo., made a quick change from street clothes into their officiating togs while in transit from Kansas City, Mo.
Dutch Lonborg, KU athletic director, paced up and down in the field house corridors, hoping for the arrival of the referees.
---
Once, about 7:15, Lonborg thought the officials had arrived and the game could start on time after all. But it was a false alarm.
THE 3.000 FANS who watched the game, once it finally began, were notified that its start would be delayed. The several radio announcers on hand either held up their air time start or fed music of the KU pop band to their listening audience.
Lonborg thought the officials had arrived when he saw a man with a "suitcase."
The "referee," however, turned out to be Rich Clarkson, a KU graduate and chief photographer for the Topeka Capital-Journal, his camera case in hand.
"He came toward me." Clarkson said of Lonborg, "and said, 'They're here, they're here.'"
