Jayhawkers Smash Northwestern 91-70
Page 5
Matching hustle and good ball handling with Northwestern University's height advantage, the Kansas University's Jayhawkers, led by forward Gene Elstun, won their season's opening basketball game last night 91-70 in Allen Field House.
Coach Phog Allen was able to clear his bench in the final six minutes and as a result Kansas fans saw a great team effort by a KU squad expected to figure heavily in the Big Seven conference race this year. Thirteen players scored.
Elstun wasn't expected to play due to a recent attack of flu, but started the game and led the Kansas attack with a 19 point performance. He ranked second in both scoring and rebounds last year.
Following Elstun closely in scoring were guards Maurice King and Captain Dallas Dobbs, who scored 15 and 15 points respectively. King also gathered in 20 rebounds to lead both clubs.
Grabbed 72 Rebounds
Grabbed 12 Rebounds
In total rebounds Kansas showed that a team with only average height can still outplay a team with a height advantage by nabbing 72 rebounds to Northwestern's 46.
Northwestern's 6-11 center, Bill Schulz, was held down by the tight Kansas defense and managed to score only nine points. It was his teammates, guard Dick Mast and forward Glen Lose, who provided the Wildcat's scoring punch. Mast scored 20 points and Lose made 18.
Northwestern led only twice in the contest and each time only briefly. The Wildcats built up a four point lead to start the game, but were quickly overtaken by the Kansans. Late in the first half they rallied to grab a 38-37 lead, but the Hawks surged ahead 47-38 at halftime.
It was in the second half that the Kansas team really pulled ahead. Forward Lee Green and Elstun led the attack as the Jayhawkers quickly built up a commanding lead.
The loss was the second in as many games for the Northwestern team. They suffered a 72-67 loss to Western Michigan last Saturday.
Plaved Intra-Squad Game
KU's freshman squad played an intense preliminary game. The red team, led by forward Ron Loneski, defeated the white team that featured 7-0 Wilt Chamberlain, 53-48.
Loneski led the winning team in scoring with 17, followed by his teammate, Monte Johnson, who tallied 12. Chamberlain hit 24 points to lead the losing white team and Jerry Johnson added 12.
The two fresh teams fought a nip- and-tuck battle in the first half, with the score tied 28-28. In the second half the red team overcame a small white team lead and took command of the ball game with 7:10 left.

Honus Wagner Dies At 81
Nate Clark of Hillsdale, Mich. the nation's leading scorer during the 1955 college season with 24 touchdowns for 144 points, headlines the list of players named to the Associated Press little college all-American team.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. (U.P.)—John P. "Honus" Wagner, whose iron man exploits with the Pittsburgh Pirates made him baseball's "Greatest Shortstop of All Time," died early today at his home in Carnegie, Pa., at the age of 81.
The Hall of Fame hero with the peculiar bowledgement stance was one of baseball's legendary figures. He led the National League in batting eight times and was a 300-plus hitter for 17 straight seasons. He set records which are still intact and at which players have been aiming in vain for nearly half a century.

Stewart Sets New MU Mark
COLUMBIA, Mo. — (U.P.)—Guard Norman Stewart of Missouri University made the game of basketball look as simple as child's play last night against Texas Tech, and led his team to a 92 to 60 victory.
Stewart, an all-Big Seven selection last year, broke an all-time Missouri single-game scoring record with 35 shots. He hit on 14 of 26 shots for a 54 per cent shooting average.
He snagged 19 rebounds on de- ense.
The old scoring record of 33 points was set in 1953 by Bob Reiter. The Tigers as a team hit a red-hot 58 per cent of their shots, while Tech could muster only 31 per cent.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — (U.P.)-Fred "Cap" Clarke, former manager of the Louisville and Pittsburgh baseball teams, on how the late John Peter "Honus" Wagner got started on his illustrious baseball career: "We bought him for $2,000 and a sack of bananas. He was worth every cent of it."

How much travel is there in technical sales work?
A. HICKS LAWRENCE, JR., earned his B.E. degree from Yale in June 1940 and joined Du Pont in the following month as an analytical chemist. He progressed steadily at various plants, from line foreman to shift supervisor to senior supervisor. In 1949 he applied his technical training to sales work. Today Mr. Lawrence is a sales manager in the "Kinetic" Division of Du Pont's Organic Chemicals Department.

This booklet contains a section on sales work and also gives many interesting details about the technical staff and laboratory facilities which stand behind a salesman. Write to E.

JOHN T. KENNEDY is working toward his B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Notre Dame University in June 1957. He's a member of the student branch of A.I.C.H.E. and is active in the Young Christian Students and in the Chicago Club. Because John feels one should make employment plans early, he's starting his investigations during his junior year.
A. Hicks Lawrence answers:
Well, John, as the Old Man of the Sea told Sinbad the Sailor, "The quantity of travel varies with the specific situation encountered." Of course, you'll never be shipwrecked or encounter the other travel problems that Sinbad did, but a man shouldn't seriously consider a career in sales work unless he really enjoys travel. Most of our sales personnel do just that, because the work itself provides so many rewards and satisfactions. It's not unusual for a representative to be away from home base 30 to 60 per cent of the time.
You see, John, for a good salesman, every trip means meeting new people, new situations, and new challenges. Every one of these offers a chance to display individual initiative. Perhaps the customer will need technical advice on applying our product to a specific item he's developing. The Du Pont salesman may choose to use his own experience and "trouble-shoot" on the spot. On the other hand, he may refer the problem to "home base," where he knows he'll be backed up by a strong technical organization. This knowledge naturally stimulates a salesman and heightens his interest in his work. He knows that he never travels alone;
