University Daily Kansan Tuesday, Jan. 10, 1956 Kansas Is Trounced By Missouri 76-54 The Missouri Tigers, combining a tenacious man-to-man defense with sharp shooting and strong rebounding, successfully opened their Big Seven basketball season last night by posting an easy 76-54 victory over Kansas at Columbia. The Tiger triumph was the fourth straight over KU in conference play and avenged a loss to the Jayhawks in the Big Seven pre-season tournament. Unheralded Bill Ross and the veteran Norm Stewart provided the major scoring punch for the Tigers, scoring 24 and 19 points, respectively. Stewart and center Chuck Denny completely dominated the backboards against the badly-outplayed Kansas team. Overall, MU grabbed 52 rebounds while KU collected only 39. KU Is Fourth the victory placed Missouri in a first place conference tie with Kansas State and Colorado. Kansas now is in fourth place with a 1-1 record. For the season, Missouri stands 8-3. KU 8-4. Kansas started in a zone defense against the determined Tigers, but switched to a man-to-man pattern when the zone, which so completely shackled Missouri in the tourney, was unsuccessful. Missouri scored first in the game, but KU tied the score at 2-2. The lead changed hands back and forth for the first ten minutes before MU went ahead to stay 19-18. From then on, as KU went scoreless from the field for nearly seven minutes, the Tigers steadily increased their lead and with 1:30 left in the first half were ahead by 17 points, 42-25. The halftime score was 42-29. MU Led Bv 26 Kansas came out to hit two free throws in a matter of seconds at the start of the second half, but then went scoreless for the next five minutes while Missouri scored eight points to build a 50-31 margin. "Sparky" Stalcup's crew continued to pour it on and twice led by 26 points, 63-37 and 73-47. Lew Johnson led Kansas scoring with 13 points, followed by Dallas Dobbs and Maurice King with 11 apiece. King, Gene Elstun and Bill Brainard fouled out for the Javhawkers. Missouri wound up with a 43.4 per cent field goal percentage, as against 30.7 per cent for KU.

Independent C By BOB BRUCE (Daily Kansan Telegraph Editor) Most basketball fans of this area will remember the name of Jim Frary, former high school teammate of KU's Gene Elstun and John Parker—the three of them having played on the 1952 Shawnee Mission team that lost the AA title to Newton on a disputed shot in the final second of play. Jim is the third Big Seven eager to follow the ex-Kansas State coach to the Salt Lake City school. His migration, however, failed to cause anything approaching the furor that resulted when Gardner induced Art Bunte of Colorado and Gary Bergen of K-State to accompany him to Utah. The former All-Stater is now playing under the controversial Jack Gardner at the University of Utah, and at the present is being used as the toted Art Bunte's replacement. This is Frary's first season of competition at Utah, as he was idle during the 1954-55 season. Therefore, he has another year of eligibility remaining. Following his freshman year at K-State, Jim played only so-so ball for one semester under Tex Winter. He then transferred to El-Dorado Junior College, where he finished the season. Despite reports that he has improved considerably, it is still uncertain whether he will be Gardner's No. I post man next year. The reason is a 6-foot 9-inch freshman, Pearl Pollard, who was one of the nation's top prep stars last year at Jordan High School in Salt Lake City. A still closer look reveals that Gardner hasn't begun to lose his drawing power as a coach. Besides Pollard, there are nine other All-Staters on his freshman squad. Two are from Reno, Nev., one is from Huntington, Ind., and one from Manhattan, Kan. The Manhattan lad is Bill Conrow, who helped lead the Indians to fourth place in the AA state tourney last year. Boydston Faces Operation CHICAGO-(U,P),-Max Boydston, rookie end with the Chicago Cardinals, will undergo an operation on his right knee today. He injured the knee while working out with the College All-Stars last August and was hampered by the injury during most of the 1955 season.

His acceptance of the job over the telephone from his home in West Orange, N.J., late yesterday was a complete switch from his intentions only 24 hours earlier. Devore explained that he "had just about made up my mind to stay at Dayton as of Saturday night" but reconsidered after discussing the matter further with Philadelphia officials, NFL Com- missioneer Bert Bell and Rev, Charles Collins, dean of Dayton. "I reconsidered in the best interests of my children," said Devore, father of seven. "I enjoyed the pro league while with Green Bay in 1953 and look forward to a fine relationship with the Eagles."
