EITHER HAND—KU's outstanding guard-forward Maurice King drives in to score another basket—this time left-handed. Jayhawker center Lew Johnson anticipates a rebound, which, of course, was unnecessary. Nebraska players identified are Rex Ekwall (20) and Jim Thom (24).—(Daily Kansan Photo)
KUWins80-56ToStay In Big 7 Title Scrap
A balanced scoring punch led by guard-forward Maurice King with 21 points enabled the Kansas Jayhawkers to defeat Nebraska easily 80-56 Saturday, in a Big Seven contest.
A crowd of 9,000 saw the Jay- hawkers post an early 16-9 lead, a 46-35 halftime advantage and then outscore the hapless Cornhuskers 34-21 in the second half.
Elstun Starts Fast
The victory, the first for the Jayhawkers after dropping two Big Seven games in a row gave them a 4-3 league mark and kept alive any slight hopes for a share of the title. Nebraska, buried in sixth place, now has a 1-4 league mark.
Gene Elstun, Kansas forward, found the range early counting for 12 of Kansas' first 14 points during the first five minutes of the game. However, he couldn't keep up the torrid pace and finished the contest with 17 points, still good enough for second place in the Kansas scoring parade.
King, who has scored in the 20's on several occasions for Kansas, tied for scoring honors with Nebraska's Rex Ekwall at 21 points.
Ekwall, who scored 17 of his points in the first half, kept alive a Nebraska rally that faded before the halftime respite.
Lew Johnson and Ron Johnstom were the other two-figure scorers for Kansas. They hit 13 and 12 points respectively. Johnstom didn't enter the game until late in the first half.
KU Pulls Away
Nebraska got as close as two points in the first half but KU pulled away with about 3:30 remaining in that period as King, Johnston, and Johnson scored six goals while Ekwall was the only Husker who could score as much as one goal.
Phog Allen cleared the Kansas bench during the last part of the second half and reserves held the lead during the last 10 minutes.
Kansas hit 30 of 84 shots for a 35.7 per cent from the field, while Nebraska hit 21 of 77 for 27.3 per cent. Kansas grabbed 60 rebounds and Nebraska 57.
Veteran Kroll Wins At Tucson
TUCSON, Ariz. (U.R.)—The "best" tournament golf of his career made veteran pro Ted Kroll of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., $2,000 richer today as he and the rest of the touring professionals headed into Texas for more stops on the winter circuit.
Kroll captured the 11th edition of the $10,000 Tuscan Open yesterday with a 72-hole total of 264, the lowest in his career. The total—16 strokes under par for the El Rio Country Club course—was only a stroke off the tourney record set by Lloyd Mangrum of Apple Valley, Calif., in 1949.

Rivals Fear Dons' Jones
USF rolled to its 44th straight victory last Friday at the expense of Fresno State and as far as mustachioed, clutch-playing "Casey" is concerned, the Dons will keep right on winning as long as they practice "self-subordination."
SAN FRANCISCO - (U.P.)—The name is Jones—K. C. Jones—and the initials only stand for trouble as far as the University of San Francisco's basketball opponents are concerned.
"At least that's my word for it," the husky guard said, changing an American history text book from one arm to another. "Nobody on our club thinks he is better than the other guy. And nobody gets sore if somebody else makes a mistake."
That hasn't been the case with some of the schools who have gone down before the awful Don machine. Jones candidly tabs LaSalle and Holy Cross as squads which began to bicker among themselves when the got rough.
I-State Narrows K-State Margin
"The LaSalle players began to argue with each other when we were beating them in the NCAA finals last March," Jones said. "And when we were playing Holy Cross in Madison Square Garden last December, I heard one of their players yell to another one from the sidelines, 'Hey, what's the matter? Afraid of (Bill) Russell?'"
KANSAS CITY — (U.P.) — Iowa State, shooting for the Big Seven crown to go with its pre-season tournament championship, could catch leading Kansas State this Saturday in a game against Nebraska.
"If a fellow on our team has trouble we just try to cheer him up, not criticize him," Casey declared.
The Cyclones are only a half-game behind the leaders following a narrow, 88-85, overtime victory over Missouri Saturday while Colorado was derailing K-State's drive. 71-53.
Colorado, by upending Kansas State, moved into third spot. Kansas took over fourth, as it downed Nebraska. 80-56.
Kansas State is idle in the conference this week, but plays at Wyoming tonight. Nebraska and Oklahoma also meet tonight at Norman.
Kansas is at Oklahoma Friday while Saturday action puts Colorado at Missouri and Iowa State at Nebraska.
The championship race is tight all the way with every team still holding a mathematical chance to grab a share of the title. However, Oklahoma, with six losses and Nebraska with four apparently are out of the running.
Among the others, however, the crown is being hotly contested. Iowa State, on the basis of a 15-3 season record, might have the best chance of winning it. But Kansas State has three of its remaining four games at home, a schedule that definitely should work to its advantage.

On only one lung—
Let us give it its tonic
