Buff Skill Beats Jayhawks, 65-54
By STAN HAMILTON
The Colorado Buffaloes, who last year were no match for Kansas when the two Big Seven co-champions met here, last night added a convincing endorsement to the old adage that there is no substitute for experience.

Top Team Wins Duquesne Loses
By UNITED PRESS
Mighty Kentucky got back on the winning trail today, but woe piled upon woe for crippled Duquesne.
Emerging from the gloom caused by their first home court loss in 11 years Saturday, Kentucky's Wildcats started what they hope will be a new 11-year streak by smashing DePaul, 92-59, last night as Capt. Bill Evans paced the assault with 20 points.
Kentucky, still ranked the nation's No. 1 team despite the loss to Georgia Tech that ended their 129-game home court skim, started slowly but breezed home as Coach Adolph Rupp cleared his bench.
But there was no such happy revival for Duquesne, the nation's No. 2 team that had been upset by St Francis of Loretto, Pa., Saturday The "Iron Dukes," with all-American Dick Ricketts once again seeing only limited service, were whipped again, 68-67, by powerful Dayton, which is ranked 11th nationally.
Holy Cross, like Dayton, reaped revenge last night by crushing Notre Dame, 93-57, at Boston—a marked contrast to Notre Dame's 74-69 victory over the Crusaders in the final round of the recent Sugar bowl tournament at New Orleans.
Illinois, No. 6 nationally, turned in the highlight of last night's conference action by blasting Purdue, 83-73, in a Big Ten clash on Purdue's home court.
the victory left Illinois tied with Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan—which also scored victories last night for the Big Ten lead with 2-1 records. Minnesota whipped Indiana, defending champion, 88-74, as the Gophers' Dick Garmaker tied the Hoosiers' all-American Don Schlundt with 30 points. Iowa drubbed Michigan State, 94-81, and Michigan had all five starters score

The veteran Colorado team—it has 11 lettermen back from last year—gave the sophomoric Jay-hawks a lesson in good, sound basketball, beating KU 65 to 54 in Hoch auditorium.
After a disheartening first half—in which Kansas, minus its scoring leader, Dallas Dobbs, who has an ankle injury trailed by 17 points, the visitors got a brief scare in the middle of the second half before Jayhawks off the opposite Jayhawks, who had cut the Colorado lead from 21 to 10 points.
With nine minutes remaining in the cleanest contest of the year a layup by guard John Parker, who was the only continuously bright star for the losers, cut the Colorado margin to 54 to 44.
But the Buffs came back with a field goal and a pair of free throws by guard Harrold to put the game beyond reach. The next Kansas field goal, again, by the fighting Parker, came eight minutes later.
Rangy Burdette Haldorson, 6-7 Colorado center, proved equal to most any two Kansans throughout much of the night. Aside from scoring 22 points he pulled in 11 rebounds, both high for either team.
Parker led KU with 16, but he also took about every other honor imaginable for the losers. He was a driving dervish, stealing innumerable Colorado passes and shots. After he got seven of KU's first 19 points, he was given a rest with six minutes to go in the first half. From there the Buffs held Kansas to one field goal and widened their gap to 41 to 24 at the half.
Gene Elstun, who had one of his poorest scoring nights of the year, played well in spots, getting 13 points to back up Parker. Elstun was the only one of the nine Kansas players who stayed in the game all the way.
Colorado jumped off to an early 4 to 0 lead, but five quick points by Parker put Kansas ahead 7 to 6. The only other time Phog Allen's crew led was with seven minutes gone, 13 to 12, on the strength of two free throws by center Lew Johnson.
The Buffs, 2-0 in the Big Seven and 7-4 overall, next meet Oklahoma Monday at Boulder. Kansas, its loop record chopped to 0-2 and standing 5-4 for the season, will journey to Lincoln to oppose the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday.

Florida nipped Louisiana State. 78-73; Georgia shaded Tulane, 67-65, and Alabama trounced Mississippi State. 99-71.

GOIN' UP—Three Jayhawkers went up after this rebound. Gene Elstun came down with it. Elstun and Lew Johnson, No. 25, flank an unidentified Kansan in the grab-fest. Colorado's Robert Yardley, No. 14, and Bob Jeangerdal, No. 20, wait on the floor. The hands reaching in from the side of the picture belong to the arms of the Buff's Tom Harrold. Colorado won 65-54.
Kentucky Keeps No.1 Position In Weekly Poll
New York —(U.P.)—The Kentucky Wildcats' myth of invincibility may be exploded, but not their No. 1 status in the United Press basketball coaches' ratings.
Despite the startling upset defeat at the hands of unheralded Georgia Tech Saturday, Kentucky topped the college ratings today for the third straight week.
However, the Wildcats' defeat, coupled with second-ranked Duquesne's surprise setback by St. Francis of Loretto, Pa., tightened the race considerably. Eight different teams received first-place votes this week in the most scattered balloting of the past four seasons.
Kentucky attracted 14 first-place votes from the 35-man rating board, compared to 31 last week. The Wildcats' point total also was reduced to 298 from a season-high 344 and their lead over Duquesne was reduced from 73 to 66 points.
San Francisco, which retained the No. 5 ranking, attracted the second highest total of first-place votes this week — six. Runnerup Duquesne and fourth-ranked North Carolina State each was the top choice of four coaches; Illinois, sixth, received three first-place ballots; Utah, seventh, had two, while LaSalle, third, and UCLA, ninth, had one each.
This week's top 10 group was comprised of the same teams as last week's, except that there were a few changes in order. LaSalle, the coaches' pre-season pick for the national championship and the No. 1 team for the first two weeks of the campaign, advanced one notch to third place, exchanging places with North Carolina State.
Illinois, which topped the ratings for one week before Kentucky took over, moved from eighth to sixth place, reversing positions with Missouri. Minnesota retained the 10th ranking.
This week's first four teams were separated by the comparatively small margin of 81 points.
Football Good As Is, Fritz Crisler Says
New York—(U.P.)—Members of the NCAA football rules committee took the view today that "we have a wonderful game" under the present rules and "we're inclined to keep the status quo unless someone shows us a very good reason to change."
Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler of Michigan, chairman of the committee, said the group was "not opposed to progress," but that many of the 45 rule changes proposed so far were impractical.
