Wednesday. February 9, 1955 University Daily Kansan
Trailing for the entire first half and half of the second period, the Cyclones finally took the lead at the nine-minute mark and were never again pressed.
Duncan's high mark gave him a new Iowa State record plus the highest total an enemy has tallied in Hoch against the Jayhawks. High man for Kansas was Bill Brainard who started at a forward slot. He scored 23 points.
Fourteen minutes into the first half after a seesaw battle, the Jav-hawks built up their largest lead. 26 to 18. Kansas led at the half by a scant 34 to 30.
