Carrying the momentum of a Kansas here tonight in the second youthful basketball forces. Tipoff torium, where Kansas will defend
Kansas
Playing under Clarence Iba, Iron Duke Junior, who has raised Golden Hurricane basketball to a high level in the Missouri Valley conference, the Tulsans have put together one of their best starts of all time. They manhandled Creighton, 69-54; subdued Baylor, 60-48, after the Bears had nailed 80 points against Oklahoma, and squeezed Texas A&M, 57-43, Wednesday, in their only road engagement to date. They whipped Arkansas of the Southwest conference Saturday night in Tulsa, before taking a run at that evergrowing jinx.
This is an impressive blend of tight defense and satisfactory offense. More fearsome is a 6-4 senior forward from Kansas City, Mo. Bob Patterson. The husky 205-pounder blazed through the first three games with a 24.3 average. He opened with 28 against Creighton, hit 21 against Baylor, and 24 at College Station. There are no NCAA statistics available at this early date, but Patterson must be close to the top of the nation's major college scoring heap.
He personally turred the tide against A&M by firing six goals and a free throw in the final eight minutes of the first half to jerk Tulsa out of a 6-17 deficit into a 28-28 halftime edge. Along the way he found time to snatch 20 re-bounds.
"Tulsa can do things well that will hurt us," said Dick Harp, Coach Allen's assistant who seouted Tulsa at College Station. "They are clever on offense, for one thing, hitting the open man against supporting defenses and freeing the pivot man under the goal when a dribler penetrates the perimeter.
"They play the defense well, too, and that Patterson is mighty rugged on the boards. Fact is, he's as stout all-around player as we'll face this year. He can do everything satisfactorily to real good. They have good depth too."
Iba will start three other seniors.

besides his ace, plus one junior, forward Jim Duncan. Among these is Jim Courter, 6-5 center, who scored 10 consecutive points down the stretch of the Baylor game to crack apart a decision that had struggled through seven lead-exchanges and 11 ties.
Obviously, the Hurricane will furnish a much sterner test than did LSU. The Jayhawks, starting four sophomores, astounded the Bengals with an 83-58 thrashing in their opener last Monday. When optimism started to rise, following that slugging, Coach Allen warned that "we still are a long way from being a good basketball team. The players have hard and I was proud of them for that. But it's going to be a lot tougher playing teams in our own area that know more about us."
Coach Allen is scheduled to go with the same four sophomores, plus junior guard Dallas Dobbs, against Tula.
Laughlin Wins Beach Trophy
Bud Laughlin received the Ormand Beach memorial trophy last night at the annual Kansas football banquet at the Hotel Eldridge. Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy presented the award which is given each year to the player displaying the most sportsmanship, ability, and value to the team, as decided upon by his teammates.
Richard Blowey was honored for being the most effective player, statistically, both in offense and defense. Coach Charles Mather presented Blowey with a personal trophy and a permanent one which will be displayed in the Student Union.
Other awards were given to Don F扑zenreuter, best defensive linebacker; Don Martin, best defensive lineman, and John Anderson, best offensive lineman.
The guest speaker of the evening was Paul "Bear" Bryant, football coach at Texas A&M college. He spoke of the benefits of football to the student-athletes his view on professional basketball, television and bowl games.
Coach Bryant said that professional football would not hurt attendance at college games, but that unrestricted televising would put all but a few large schools "out of business." He said that it was a shame that the Oklahoma and UCLA were eliminated from playing in bowl games.
"Restricting fine teams from bowl games is penalizing boys for doing a fine job," he said.
