KU Tops A&M, Meets Buffs Tonight
Jayhawkers Upset Aggies As Patterson, Born Star
B. H. Born and Harold Patterson led Kansas to its 15th victory in 19 games with a decisive 66-55 triumph over Oklahoma A&M Friday night.
Born led the Kansas scoring with 23 points,11 in the second half while playing with four fouls. Patterson gave able assistance by scoring 20 counters. Bob Mattick was the high point man for the Aggies with 21 points.
The victory stretched Kansas' home court winning streak to 28 games, and each victory sets a new record since the former home winning skin of 26 games was broken two weeks ago.
Patterson hit 10 points and born hit seven to lead Kansas to 24 points in the third quarter while holding the Cowboys to nine. Patterson hit four
Cowpokes to nine. Patterson hit 107
straight shots in this period and hit
25 times. He shot 62 to him a 49 per cent shooting average
for the season of 49 per cent. .
After trailing 25-32 at halftime, Kansas exploded to out score the Aggies 16-6 in the first four and a half minutes of the third quarter. Patterson hit eight points, born four, and Dobbs and Kelley two points each in this surge.
Kansas added eight more points in the remainder of the period to lead, 56-44, at the end of the third quarter. This was the ball game; the Jayhawks going into a stall with five minutes left in the fourth quarter leading, 64-51, and held the ball for the remainder of the contest with the exception of two occasions when the Aggies stole the ball.
Kansas jumped off to an early 12-6 lead with six minutes gone in the first quarter, but the Aggies out-scored the Jayhawks 10-4 in the next three and a half minutes to tie the contest, 16-16. With five seconds of playing time remaining in the period, Patterson scored on a layup to give Kansas an 18-16 lead at the end of the first period.
Born and Mattick both had committed three fouls in this period, and had scored about the same number of points, six and seven, respectively. Born made his fourth infraction of the contest after three minutes had elapsed in the second quarter.
With Born out of the contest, A. & M. controlled the rebounds and out-scored Kansas, 19-14. Bob Hendrick was the leading Aggie scorer, pumping through three straight field goals and a free throw while spelling Mattick in the last four minutes of the period.
One of the main factors of this victory was that Kansas controlled the backboards in three quarters of the
contest and out rebounded the Cowboys, 34-17. The Aggies got only three rebounds in the final two periods, Kansas grabbing 18.

Carter Fight Tops Slate
New York (U.P) Jimmy Carter defends his lightweight crown and featherweight champion Sandy Sadler engages in a non-title bout on this week's fight schedule, which also lists a good heavyweight scrap and an excellent middleweight brawl.
Carter, 30. will make his seventh defense of the 135-pound diadem against Paddy DeMarco, the Brooklyn "Billygoat", in a TV-radio 15-rounder at Madison Square Garden Friad night.
Because of his skill and punch, Carter was a prohibitive 5-1 favorite over 26-year-old DeMarco today. It was 7-5 the fourth-ranking contender would not last the distance.

Riding an eight-game winning streak and tied with Kansas for the Big Seven lead, Colorado's "Cinderella Kids" invade Hoch auditorium tonight in the showdown battle for the Big Seven championship. Tip-off is 7:35 p.m.
Coach Bebe Lee's battling Buffs started their present eight-game surge against Oklahoma at Boulder, Jan. 11, winning. 80-68. Since then, they've trimmed Missouri, 80-69 Kansas, 70-62; Iowa State, 67-65; Nebraska, 75-67 and 83-58; Iowa State, 70-50, and Oklahoma, 71-66. Their only setback was a 66-60 loss to Kansas State.
The Buffs' league mark and current winning streak is even more phenomenal when you consider they lost their first seven games in December before finally whipping Washington, 81-60 in the last-place game in the pre-season tournament. They now stand 10-8 for the season. None of the five Colorado starters is a senior. The Buffs are expected to start with Bob J angerard (6-3) and Mel Coffman (6-3) at forwards, Burdette Haldson (6-7) at center, and Charley Mock and Tom Harrold, both 5-11 at guards.
The Jayhawks, with a string of 28 home court victories on the line, will be out to win their 16th game of the year against four losses. Both teams are tied for the league lead with 9-1 records.
