Phog Hopes Either KU Or K-S Wins Title
"If we don't win the conference I hope K-State does," Coach Phog Allen said concerning the game with the inter-state rival Saturday at Manhattan.
“K-State has a good team with a well-balanced attack,” he added. “They won both of their two road games, one of which was against Iowa State. They've had a taste of victory and will be fighting hard to win the championship, and right now I would say they have a good chance.”
When asked about KU's loss to Missouri Monday night, the Kansas coach said. "We just weren't playing or thinking basketball. We shot poorly, handled the ball poorly, played poor offense and defense and just played a poor brand of basketball."
Allen said that Kansas State would have a height advantage and the advantage of playing on their home court, but that KU would be fighting all the way.
"This will be a big test for the boys and they know it," Allen said. Phog said that the same starting line-up that has started the past games would get the nod Saturday.
The team drilled only an hour and fifteen minutes with emphasis on attacking K-State's zone defense.
The practice was closed with a polishing session of the man-for-man defense.
Asked why he called a halt after only 75 minutes of practice, Coach Allen explained, "Our team needs rest, not hard work right now. Besides, finals start next week and the boys need all the time possible to study. We don't want anyone ineligible the second semester."

Gonzales Is Pro Winner
MISSION, Kan.-(U.F.)-Pancho Gonzales, the national professional tennis champion, lengthened his lead last night over Tony Trabert in their 100-game series during the current cross-country pro net series.
Gonzalez defeated Trabert 6-3, 6-2 to take an 11-4 lead.
In a professional match, Rex Hartwig wigned Pancho Segura, eight games to four. Hartwig, former Australian Davis Cup contest, still was on the low end of a 12-2 overall tour mark against Segura.
A capacity crowd of 2,500 watched the matches in the Shawnee-Mission High School field house. Part of the proceeds went to the polio fund.
A doubles match featuring Trabert and Hartwig against Gonzales and Segura was called at the end of one set because of time, with Trabert and Hartwig, the so-called "amateurs" of the groups leading 18-16. Jack Kramer was promoter of the series.
Campbell To Try For New Record
LONDON—(U.P.)—Water speed king Donald Campbell, who set the world mark of 216 miles per hour over Lake Mead, Nev, last fall, says he'll try to raise the record to 250 M. P. H. this year and keep ahead of the American competition.
"I have a profound respect for American engineers and pilots," he told a luncheon group, "but at the moment we have a lead on them, and if we are to keep that lead, then we have got to get working."
Dater's Mark Appears Safe
Eddie Dater of the KU basketball squad set a scoring average of 24.5 points a game last season while playing with Garden City Junior College, a mark which appears to be safe this season in Kansas junior college circles.
Dater compiled his average in a total of 23 games.
The current leader in the Kansas Junior College Conference is Bob Harvey of Hutchinson who has an eight-game average of 19.37 points. In second place is Dodge City's Clancy Waters with an average of 19.36.
Third place belongs to Jack Jackard of El Dorado who is hitting at an 19-point clip. Last season, Jackard finished second to Dater with an average of 22.4 points.
Arkansas City Juco, the defending state and national regional champion, leads the regional offensive statistics with an average of 78.5 points a game. Other schools and their scoring averages are Hutchinson 77.1, Garden City 73, El Dorado 69.5, Dodge City 66.8 and Northern Oklahoma of Tonkawa 57.5.
Ark City also leads in defense, having allowed its opponents an average of 59.2 points a game. Ranking behind Ark City in this department are Northern Oklahoma, El Dorado, Dodge City, Hutchinson, and Garden City in that order.
