KU Defeats CU To Stay In Race; K-State Loses
Kansas University's chances of winning a share of the Big Seven basketball crown went from fair to good this week end as the Jayhawkers scored a 54-44 victory over Colorado Friday night and Missouri followed Saturday with an upset victory over Kansas State, the Big Seven leader.
The Kansas victory eliminated Colorado as a title contender and placed KU only two games away from a Big Seven championship, KU plays Kansas State Tuesday night in Allen Field House and ends the season at Boulder Saturday.
Colorado's Jim Ranglos scored 10 points in the first half, but could manage only another two points for the rest of the game. Peterson also hit 12 points for the Buffs.
The Jayhawkers came back after a 22-22 deadlock at intermission Friday to outhustle and outshoot the Buffaloes. Kansas' all-big-Severe forward, Maurice King, was the game's standout. Besides being outstanding on the backboards and on defense, King hit 21 points to give him a total of 302 points for the season, placing him eleventh in the all-time KU single season scoring.
Can Climb To Seventh
In the final four minutes, with a 12-point lead, Kansas went into a semi-stall as Colorado put on a full-court press. Kansas' Eddie Dater, Ron Johnston and King kept the safe lead with fine ball control.
With two games left, King could conceivably climb as high as seventh on the scoring ladder.
Both teams fought desperately in the opening minutes of the second half, but Colorado center, George Hannah, injured an ankle in a collision with King and was forced to leave the game. The Buffaloes immediately fell behind. Kansas hit its stride midway in the half and jumped to a commanding 40-31 lead.
Stalls It Out
Gene Elstun, cold from the field,
but hot at the free-throw line,
followed King in scoring with 10
points. Elstun hit 8 of 11 freethow
attempts. Dater and Johnston
each scored eight points
and Lew Johnson added seven.
Colorado outshot Kansas from the field 30 to 28 per cent, but the Jayhawkers were sharper at the free-throw line. Kansas hit 16 free tosses while the Buffs hit only eight.
KANSAS CITY (UP)— Kansas State gets one final chance Tuesday night to win the Big Seven basketball crown.
Hectic Big 7 Into Showdown
There are five remaining games in the conference, all this week. And, depending on the outcome, the conference still could end in a four-way tie.
Luck Would Decide
In that case, a meeting would be held in Commissioner Reaves E. Peter's office here, probably next Sunday, to pick a name from the hat for a team to represent the conference in the NCAA regional at Lawrence. March 16-17
Missouri, which sidelined K-State's hopes 85-72 at Manhattan Saturday night, is host to Nebraska in one of two games tonight. The other puts Oklahoma at Colorado.
Commissioner Peters said that, in case of a tie, the draw would be made "as soon as possible" to determine the conference representative in the NCAA. The exact date would depend on when the tie was settled—whether early in the week or late.
Following the Tuesday championship battle, Nebraska is at Iowa State Thursday and Kansas is at Colorado Saturday.
There were still more teams in line for a share of the crown today than there were out of the running. Kansas State (8-3) held the only possible chance for a clear championship. Iowa State (7-4), and Kansas (6-4) were still in the campaign for a tie, however.
