FLYING HIGH—Kelley goes high to loft a shot over Howie Johnson (43) of Iowa State in Saturday night's game at Ames, Iowa. This meet will highlight a 1954 outdoor card embracing three other duals and the Midwest Relays circuit. Kansas will run its first track dual of all-time against a Pacific Coast conference opponent this spring, meeting California at Berkeley April 10. California is coached by Brutus Hamilton, who guided Kansas to Big Six outdoor championships in 1930 and 1931. He was called to Berkeley following the 1932 season. The Golden Bears were runners-up for the PCC crown last year behind USC, and finished one notch, in ninth place, behind KU, Kansas State and Michigan in the 1953 NCAA at Lincoln. California Dual Heads KU Slate Coach Bill Easton will take a full squad by chartered plane to the coast April 9.

Hawks Hit Huskers Tonight AMES, IOWA—It was a far from over-confident Jayhawker team which left here late Saturday night to catch a train for Lincoln, where it will meet the Nebraska Cornhuskers tonight. The Iowa State Cyclones, beaten by 15 points in Hoch auditorium, almost knocked the Jayhawkers out of a first-place tie with Colorado in the Big Seven conference. By SAM TEAFORD After the game, the team ate in an Ames restaurant. No one had much to say. Fatigue showed plainly in the face of B. H. Born, who had scored 31 points in one of his better performances of the season. Harold Patterson seemed depressed after scoring only six points and throwing away several passes, in contrast with his usually brilliant play. From that beginning Iowa State went on to take a 23-19 lead at the end of the first period. But the Jayhawkers came right back in the second quarter, regaining the lead at 26-24, and it appeared they might have the situation under control. KU jumped to a 10-2 lead over the Cyclones in the first two and one-half minutes, but Iowa State made it clear the ball game was not over Although the Nebraska Cornhuskers have been in a slump recently—they lost to Colorado 83-58 Saturday night at Boulder—the Jayhawkers were not expecting a pushover. Not after that close call with Iowa State, they weren't. by coming back to trail 11-10 with 4:50 left in the first quarter. Coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen had nothing but praise for Iowa State. He said it was one of the best teams his Jayhawkers had ever faced at Ames. As it turned out, they didn't. Iowa State, playing inspired basketball at home, left the court at half-time with a 39-36 lead. Less erratic in the second half, the Jayhawkers came back quickly to take a 42-40 lead. KU still had only two good points, 60-58 $ _ { r } $ , at the end of the third quarter. The team left Ames by chartered bus for Des Moines. There the Jayhawkers got on a train for Lincoln, where they will play another key Big Seven game tonight. It was not until the final three or four minutes that the Jayhawkers began to pull away, moving the final score to 78-70. Jayhawks Squeeze Past Iowa State As Born Hits 31 Bv CLARKE KEYS AMES, IOWA—B. H. Born bounced back from two weak showings to fuel Kansas to a 78-70 victory over Iowa State here Saturday which sent the Jayhawkers into tonight's Big Seven game with the folding—but still potent—Nebraska Cornhuskers with a chance to take a half-game edge for the top conference spot. Colorado bumped off the Huskers. 83-58, in Lincoln Saturday to keep pace with Kansas in the torrid flag chase. Both clubs have 8-1 conference records. Nebraska, after leading the conference during the early weeks, has lost five straight in the loop, including a 79-68 loss to the Jayhawks in Hoch auditorium. Kansas had to do it the hard way against the Cyclones. The fireup Staters kept an Armory crowd of 4,500 with high hopes for an upset through three quarters, leading 39-36 at halftime and trailing by only two points, 60-58, going into the final period. Kelley teamed with Born in the final spurt, hitting 12 of his 18 points in the second half. His four straight free throws in the final two minutes moved the spread to eight points. But Born was too much for the Cyclones, scoring 31 points to tie the Armory scoring record, and taking 17 rebounds off the boards. Iowa State felt the big boy's punc particularly hard in the closing minutes after its top center, Chuck Duncan, had left the game on fouls mid-way through the third quarter. But Born was not the entire KU show. The Kansas pair of jumping jacks, Al Kelley and Dallas Dobbs, continued their fiery streak with 18 and 12 points, respectively. Dobbs hit all of his points in the first half, connecting on six fielders in just 10 attempts, and led the early Hawk fast break. Born's showing was a complete reversal from his last two outings on the home court. After making a successful swing through Oklahoma, the 6-9 pivot was held to a total of two field goals in two games in Lawrence. But his 11 third-quarter points were the principal pushers that handed Kansas back the lead and eight more early in the fourth period were enough to give the Jayhawkers a margin to hold. Iowa State was up for the game performing one of its best showings of the year. Kansas responded with one of its poorer fundamental games of the season and never had a comfortable lead until more than four minutes had gone in the fourth quarter. The Cyclones shot with caution trying only 45 from the field and hitting 22 for 48 per cent. Kansas had 41 per cent, but shot much more often, getting 27 of 67. Along with Dobbs' fine shooting Born hit his 11 goals in 20 tries His 31 points tied the Armory record set last year by Kansas State's Dick Knostman and was also his best night of the season. Kansas shot to an early 10-2 lead and looked to be on the way to a rout. But the driving Cyclones wasted no time in cutting down on the Jayhawkers, and, with Barney Alleman and Howie Johnson leading the way, took a 23-19 lead at the end of the first quarter. Kansas wasn't able to pull more than four points ahead until 30n hit a cripple with less than five minutes to put the Kansans ahead, 72-65. Twice KU moved up to nine-point leads, but Iowa State refused to stop trying. Dobbs and his mates turned on the gas to open the second quarter however, and swept to another lead—this time 34-28 with 3:20 left in the half. But Alleman scored six points and Duncan three in the closing time and the Cyclones were back on top 39-36 at the half. The Jayhawkers took over for good early in the third quarter as Born started his show, but the Cyclones didn't fade. Twice they fought to ties and even maintained their position after Duncan left the fray.

Santee Barred New York —(U,P)— The Amateur Athletic Union dropped all charges against star runner Mal Whitfield yesterday, but ordered four other track aces—including miler Wes Santee—not to compete abroad for a one-year period. A special AAU committee reported that, "the charges against Mal Whitfield have not been established" by any evidence. Whitfield's amateur standing had been threatened by charges he demanded excessive expenses on a European tour last year. The reason given for the restrictions was "breaking training and curfew rules" during a tour of Sweden last summer. Read the Kansan classified ads.
