Dater Shines, But KU Loses To Tigers,78-85
A crowd of 10,000 looked on as Missouri handed the Kansas Jay hawkers their first defeat on the Allen Field House court, 85-78 Monday night. But they didn't go away talking about Kansas' grea uphill attempt to overtake the Tigers who led by as much as 20 point in the first half; they were talking about Eddie Dater.
Dater, a transfer from Garden City junior college, put on a performance that possibly could earn him a starting assignment in the game with Nebraska Saturday night.
MU Wins At Charity Line
Entering as a substitute in the first half, he scored six points on three field goals. In the second half Dater hit seven field goals of nine attempts and scored Kansas' only foul shot after the intermission. He also put on a great defensive show, stealing the ball several times from the hands of the bewildered Missourians.
Kansas lost the game at the foul line. Down by 10 points at the half, the Jayhawkers outscored Missouri by 16 points from the floor in the third. The Tigers offset this figure by outdoing Kansas at the foul stripe. 14-1.
The shooting for both teams was better than average with Missouri hitting 41.9 per cent of their shots from the floor compared to a 41 per cent for Kansas.
The game's high scorer was center Chuck Denny of Missouri. He netted 23 points, followed by Gene Elstun of Kansas with 22. Missouri's Norm Stewart tallied 20 points.
Denny put Missouri ahead with the first basket of the game. Bill Brainard tied the score for Kansas before the rugged Missouri team pulled out in front to stay.
Smith Provides Early Punch
Guard Lionel Smith scored 10 of Missouri's first 19 points and then the 6-foot 4½-inch Stewart took over. He scored the next four field goals for the Tigers, which brought them to a tie. Then she started chopping away at that 20-point line and by halftime it was within 10.
As the second half began, center Lew Johnson of Kansas twice closed the gap to base line points and saw the team called KU within six of the winners.
With Stewart, Denny, and forward Bill Rose doing all the second-half scoring for Missouri, the Tigers padded their lead to as much as 13 points. Maurice King, Elstun, Dater, and Johnson scored all of the KU points in the second half but the 10-point deficit plus being outscored by 13 at the foul line was more than the Jayhawkers could make up from the floor. Dater had scored in eight previous
Dater had scored in eight previous games this season.
The loss evened Kansas' conference record at 3-3 and dropped it into a tie for fourth place with Missouri. The Jayhawkers' over-all record now stands at 11-6.
