Jayhawks Scare Leading Buffs Before Losing
After trailing from the opening tip by as much as 16 points, Kansas finally pulled within one point of the Colorado Buffaloes but faltered in the closing six minutes to lose 69 to 80 at Boulder last night.
The Jayhawks, fighting a 13-game home court winning streak by the Buffers, could net only three points after the one-point deficit while Colorado added 13 to its total.
Colorado's two ace scorers, Burdette Haldorson and Bob Jeanagerard, scored 27 and 30 points, respectively, to keep the Buffs well ahead throughout the first half and the majority of the second. Gene Elstun paced the Jayhawks with 18 points, followed by Bill Brainard, who continued his late scoring spree with 16 more.
Kansas, playing without Coach Chog Allen on the bench, began its bid for the lead after narrowing the Buff margin to seven at the 12-minute mark. A jump shot by Gary Padgett followed by two free shots by Dallas Dobbs and a final set by John Parker gave the Jayhawks their best chance of the contest.
Coach Allen remained in his hotel room because of a touch of flu which had hampered him for several days. The squad played under the guidance of assistant coaches Dick Harp and Jack Eskridge.
Dobbs, whose point-making ability on foreign floors has been effective this season, could score only two field goals for a 10-point total against the Buffaloes. Center Lew Johnson had his hands full watching Halderson but found the basket for 10 points.
The Jayhawks fell behind in the opening minutes when Jeangerdard tallied six quick points on the way to his first half total of 18. At one point the Buffs built up a 16-point lead and held a 42 to 30 margin at the halfway point.
The Colorado victory moved the Buffs one game in front of Missouri in the Big Seven championship race with an 8-1 record. At the conclusion of the contest, 6-foot, 7-inch Haldorson moved within five points of Iowa State's Chuck Duncan for the conference scoring lead with a 225-point total. Jeangerard improved his standing also moving from tenth to sixth with 159 points.

In 1845, the New York Knickerbocker's formulated the first code of playing rules for baseball. The game was to end when one team scored 21 aces (runs); ball must be pitched underhand; only one base allowed when ball bounds out of field, and ball caught on first bound was out.

OU, MU Fall To KU Frosh
During a Chicago White Sox doubleheader in 1950, the concessionaire figured that each fan pent $1.05 on "king hot dog" during he game.
Paced by 151 and 15-point performances by Dave Freeman and Jerry McNeal, the KU freshman indoor track team ran to conclusive telegraphic triumphs over the Oklahoma and Missouri freshman teams, results received here revealed.
The Jayhawk yearlings soundly defeated Oklahoma, 87 to 16, and Missouri, 85 to 19, to run their season record to 3-0.
Freeman led the winners in both meets by taking first places in both hurdles races, tying for first in the 60-vard dash, and anchoring the victorious mile relay team. McNeal, the recently elected honorary captain of the cross-country team, got undisputed blue ribbons in three events—the 880, the mile, and the two-mile runs. His mile time was 4:29.1.
Although the argument practically always crops up, there is no difference between the National league and American league baseball. They are made in the same factory, on the same production line. The only difference; if it can be called difference, is the label.

A REAL
FUTURE
WITH A GROWING
AWAITS YOU
Weapons System Organization
At TEMCO a two-fold opportunity awaits engineers, physicists and mathematicians who want to grow professionally.
First, the entire engineering department is organized under the systems concept. This necessitates the combined services of civil, electrical, mechanical and aeronautical engineers, physicists and mathematicians, all of whom will have the opportunity indeed, will be required to become familiar with all areas in the aeronautical sciences. Highly specialized work will be demanded, of course, but it will be conducted within the stimulating framework of a broader background in related fields. Your opportunities here, for professional growth are unlimited.
Second, TEMCO offers a Master Engineering Training Program designed to develop today's engineering graduates into the systems engineers of the future. This program includes a Graduate Study Plan leading to Master of Science degrees, and a Job Rotation Plan which permits you both to specialize without confinement and to diversify without loss of direction.

VAN HEUSEN signed these Million Dollar Checks
Of course, they're Van Heusen's! Who else could take the credit for these handsome tattersalls. They look like fine imported English fabrics. They cost so little you can buy a whole wardrobe of these checked classics for little more than you'd pay for one import. You can bank on Van Heusen, too, for such a wonderful cotton—super-soft, tightly-woven, completely washable, and color fast.
