Nationally Ranked KU Wins
Page 5
The weather was cold and snowy last night, but things were plenty hot for awhile in Allen Field House, as the undefeated Kansas Jayhawks picked up their third consecutive victory with a 73-67 conquest of Texas Tech.
Unseld led the Jayhawks with 23 points, and showed improvement at the free throw line as he connected on three of four free throws.
George Unseld missed the first shot of last night's game, but KU then displayed impressive shooting accuracy, connecting on the next eight shots. Riney Lochmann and Harry Gibson each accounted for three of the baskets.
THE CLOSE BATTLE continued throughout most of the second half, but another KU spurt in the final seven minutes clinched the victory.
As Coach Dick Harp cleared his bench and gave his starting lineup of Unseld, Lochmann, Gibson, Del Lewis and Al Correll a rest, Texas Tech began to find the range.
The Jayhawks gave the 4,300 fans who braved the first snow of the year something to cheer about as they jumped off to a 12-0 lead, and appeared to be headed for a runaway.
Screening for drives and long jump shots, the Red Raiders, who had been averaging 83 points a game, displayed a little accuracy of their own, taking a 33-32 lead with 1:23 remaining in the half.
KU's victory over Cincinnati last Saturday gave the Jayhawks national prestige. The Jayhawks were ranked 10th in the nation by the Associated Press and 11th by United Press International.
Three quick KU baskets,however,gave the Jayhawks a 38-36 halftime lead.
AT THE MIDWAY point in the first half, KU had made 14 of 20 shots, but had seen its lead close from 20-5 to 28-17.
Gibson collected 16 points, breaking away from his defender several times for shots under the basket.
The tall Texans' starting lineup averaged 6'5", but it was a 51'1" substitute who directed the Tech rally. John (Dub), Malaise collected six field goals and connected on nine of nine free throws for 21 points.
"I DIDN'T REGRET clearing the bench in the first half." Coach Harp said after the game. "I thought we should win the game, and I wanted to get a look at the other boys."
Coach DeWayne Hall has named a 10-man team for KU's first varsity wrestling competition since 1931 here Thursday.
