Ragged KU Outlasts Cold Shooting Tulsa
Jayhawks Hit 43 Per Cent In Adding to Hoch Streak
By BOB LYLE
Riding on the infamous Hooch auditorium jinx, a ragged but effective Kansas cage squad extended KU's home game winning streak to 31 games and snapped Tulsa's four-game winning streak by outlasting the Golden Hurricanes 73-66 here last night.
The sophomore-laden Jayhawks never turned over the lead to the taller Tulsa team, although the score was knotted 25-25 and 27-27 in the closing minutes of the first half. Tulsa also managed to narrow the KU lead to two points, 64-62, with five minutes remaining in the game, but a barrage of Kansas free throws widened the gap to 70-62.
Successful charity tosses by sophomore guard Jerry Evans and center John Yates tied the score at 27-27, but veteran KU guard Dallas Dobbs countered with a jump shot and John Parker broke in for a layup to build up a lead over the Tulsa club. Maurice King, sophomore forward, netted a set shot in the last 30 seconds to provide a 33-29 half time advantage for KU.
Paced by a 10-point effort by Dobbs and six by Gary Padgett the Jayhawks built up their greatest lead after the first 10 minutes of the second half, 61-48.
During the next five minutes, the Hurricanes caught fire, outscoring the Jayhawks, 14-5. Bob Patterson. Tula's high scoring forward, dunked a layup to make it 64-62 with Kansas fighting to maintain its slim lead.
Dobbs and Chris Divich combine for six free throws to give KU a comfortable margin of 70-62.
KU then put on a stalling exhibition, but managed to shake Dobbs loose for a jump shot from the key. Gene Elstun, sophomore forward, added a free throw. Evans added the final Tulsa field goal, leaving KU with a final seven-point victory margin.
Patterson, with effective layups and a soft touch jump shot, was the game's leading scorer with 27 points. Dobbs was the No. 2 man with 23. Elstun and Divich scored 10 and nine points, respectively, for Kansas. Evans was second in the scoring column for Tulsa with 12.
Lew Johnson, 6-6} center, was a potent factor in the hard fought KU victory. The big center controlled the boards both offensively and defensively, grabbing 14 rebounds. He scored eight points on three field goals and two free throws.

Langlois, Olson Go For Title Tonight
San Francisco —(U.P.)— Pierre Langlois, the pride of France, attempts to gain the world middleweight crown tonight when he tangles with champion Carl (Bobo) Olson in a 15-round nationally televised bout at the San Francisco Cow Palace.
