University Daily Kansan Thursday, Feb. 18, 1954 Jayhawkers Bounce K-State, 85-74 Dobbs,Kelley Pace Kansas To New Home Court Streak By KEN BRONSON Kansan Sports Editor Propelled by a 45-point outburst from Dallas Dobbs and Al Kelley, the Kansas Jayhawkers rolled to their 27th straight home court victory last night, smashing Kansas State. 85-74. The victory broke the old home court streak of 26 set by the 1939, '40, and '41 teams. Kansas tied that mark by downing Nebraska Saturday night. Dobbs poured in 23 points and Kelley added 22 for the Jayhawkers, who were never behind in the traditional rivalry game. They had a 23-14 lead at the end of the first quarter, 44-28 bulge at halftime, and a 71-56 edge after three quarters. The Jayhawkers' widest margin in the last half came with 4:15 left in the contest when John Anderson hit a driving lay-in to make the score 83-63. After that, Kansas scored only one bucket—a jumper from the free throw line by Gary Padgett—while controlling the ball Joe Powell, 6-7 sophomore center from Emporia, paced the Kansas State attack, hitting 19 points. Gene Stauffer hit 17, 11 of them in the final half. The win lifted the Jayhawkers back into a tie with Colorado for the Big Seven lead. Each team has now won seven and lost one. The win also gave Kansas a 12-4 mark for the season. Kansas State dropped to 3-6 in league play and a 9-9 seasonal mark with the defeat. It was a game for the little man all the way. B. H. Born. 6-9 Medicine Lodge senior, fouled out with 4:42 left in the third period but the Jayhawkers didn't seem to miss him. Instead, Dobbs and Kelley kept up their pace of the Nebraska game and spurred the Jayhawks to the win. And Bill Brainard, Born's successor, hit nine more points to help the cause. Born hit only one bucket all evening—that one coming with 10 seconds remaining in the first quarter. He ended up with 11 points, nine of them on charity tosses. The big boy was, however, outstanding in his ball handling and feeding off to his teammates. Born left with the score reading 55-45. That was the closest Kansas State had gotten since nine minutes were gone in the first quarter when the Jayhawkers held a 20-10 lead. The Jayhawkers busted out from that to pull away to a comfortable margin at the quarter. Kelley hit two buckets, Brainard hit two fielders and two charities, Dobbs hit a bucket and a charity, and Larry Davenport a fielder to give Kansas a gaping 71-56 lead going into the final quarter. Brainard, Kelley, and Dobbs bucketed fielders in the first three minutes of the final period to give Kansas a 77-58 edge. After J. R. Snyder hit from the side and Len Wilson from the stripe, Kelley drove in for a crip and Harold McEliroh hit a free throw to make the score 80-63. Kelley's free throw and Anderson's lay-in gave Kansas its 29-point margin and the Jayhawkers slipped in after that, allowing the Wildcats to score 11 points, seven of them on free throws. Kansas hit 30 of 69 from the field for a 43 per cent night, while Kansas State hit 24 of 67 for 26 per cent. Neither team was hot at the line, Kansas hitting only 25 of 40 and Kansas State only 26 of 45. Dobbs, Kelley, and Bill Heittholl led the opening-period surge for Kansas, getting 17 of the 23 Kansas points. The Jayhawkers busted to the front when Born hit a free throw with a minute gone and Dobbs hit a long one-hander seconds later to give Kansas a 3-1 lead. Stauffer and Bob Smith hit six and four points, respectively, for K-State in the initial quarter, all Stauffer's coming on shots from close-in. But Stauffer went to the bench with four fouls early in the second period while Powell took over the scoring load. In a one-minute stretch in the second quarter, Kelley hit two set- shots and Dobbs one, to give Kansas a 42-22 margin. But Snyder, Powell, and Wilson came right back with buckets to bring K-State up to 44-28 at halftime. Dobbs hit eight more points in the third period, Kelley six, and Brainard six to spur Kansas in the third period, the best period of the game for closeness. K-State hit 28 points in the period to Kansas' 27. And the Wildcats, thanks to their closing burst, outscored Kansas in the final quarter, 18-14.

They play at Iowa State Saturday night and then face Nebraska Monday. Washington—(U.P.)—Cocky Jimmy Slade, who laughed all the while he was scoring an upset victory over hard-hitting Clarence Henry, explained today that he was gleeful because he was "Just feeling good, mighty good." Victory Over Henry Ups Slade's Stock Slade had reason to feel good, for his 10-round majority decision over the Los Angeles heavyweight last night in the Turner's Arena ring certainly boosted his stock in the light-heavyweight division and may even put him in line for a shot in the near future at world champion Archie Moore.

Country's Top Teams Cop Easy Victories Last Night New York—(U.P.)—Kansas, the surprise team which came within one basket of winning two straight NCAA basketball championships, kept its hopes alive for a berth in this year's tourney by driving back today into a tie for first place in the Big Seven. The Javhawks of Dr. Forrest "Phog" Allen caught up with idle Colorado in the red-hot conference race with an impressive 85-74 victory over Kansas State last night that also gave them a new school record of 27 straight home court games. Kansas is shooting for its third straight conference title, but that's a mere stepping stone to the Jawahars' ambition. Two seasons ago, they won the NCAA title with a great team led by Clyde Lovellette; last season, with Lovellette gone, they surprised by going to the finals of the tourney before losing to Indiana, 69-68, on Bob Leonard's famous free throw with 27 seconds to play. This season, they'd like to go all the way. Duquese, the nation's No. 1 team, had no trouble in rolling to a 95-9 conquest of little Geneva although Geneva's Bill Blair took scoring honors with 26 points to 20 for Jim Tucker of the Dukes. Duquese faces only five more obstacles to a perfect regular season — Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Dayton. St. Bonaventure, and Villanova—before going into the National Invitation tournament. Holy Cross, ranked sixth nationally, breezed to its 19th win in 20 games, 89-67, over St. Michael's, while eighth-ranked Notre Dame scored its 15th win in 17 games, 81-56, over Butler as Joe Bertrand tallied 26 points. La Salle, ranked 11th nationally, defeated Fordham, 61-56, at Philadelphia in a meeting of two tourney hopefuls. should be examined today. Call for appointment. Any lens or prescription duplicated.

SECRET LOVE DORIS DAY MAKE LOVE TO ME JO STAFFORD TELL ME TWO ARE ONE GEORGIE SHAW BELL'S Seattle Named To NCAA Berth Kansas City, Mo. —(U.P.)—Seattle university, which won 24 straight basketball games after losing its season opener, today was the first at-large selection for the 16th annual National Collegiate championships. Idaho State and Seattle qualified the same way for last year's tournament. The victor in their contest will qualify for the Western regionals at Corvallis, Ore., March 13-14. Seattle was the winner last year, defeating Idaho State 88-77. A. C. (Dutch) Lonborg, director of athletics at Kansas and chairman of the NCAA basketball tournament committee, announced Seattle will meet Idaho State, Rocky Mountain conference champion, March 9 or 10 at a site vet to be selected. The NCAA finals will be in Kansas City March 19-20. K-State Footballers Continue Workouts Manhattan—(U.P.)-Kansas S t a t e footballers held a brief full-speed scrimmage yesterday as Coach Bill Meek checked the talents of his squad of 80 candidates in the "prespring" practice. Dick Swengel, Kansas City sophomore center, who saw no action last fall because of practice injuries, was moved up to the No. 2 position for the Wildcats. The 205- pound Swengel was an all-conference center in 1951 at Washington high school in Kansas City. With seven days of practice already in the past, Meek hinted he might run his charges through a game condition scrimmage on Saturday when the Wildcats will have completed their second week of workouts.
