Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas basketball coach, said after the LSU game Saturday night, "We came South for experience and I guess we got plenty of that!"
"But," the good doctor continued, "we also wanted to win these games. I never thought that either game would be easy and my prophecy was correct."
"But we're interested more in the upcoming Big Seven games than these two. We are just planning on starting a new season Wednesday night against Tulsa."
"I guess you could call our 'Mission in the South' complete. We came for experience and victories. Well, we got the experience."

The team's feeling after the Tulane game was pretty low. They didn't play well and you couldn't have found a boy on the team who denied it.
But after the LSU game, the boys felt much better despite the loss. Their game was so improved over their Thursday's performance that there was little room for comparison.
Take it from this corner, the Jayhawkers will be ready and waiting for Tulsa's invasion tomorrow.

Cliff Wells, Tulane's genial basketball tutor, probably is the sole reason for the Green Wave's climb on the basketball ladder. Before Wells arrived on the Tulane scene in 1945, the Greenies had won only 50 games while losing 107.
Since that time, Wells has won 69 games and lost 33 for a .698 average. A stickler for conditioning, Well's teams are characterized by their fast-breaking, run and shoot offense.

Wells has had to take a beating for his basketball success, however. Louisiana is a state where football is the major sport. New Orleans is even worse in this feeling.
It seems that Wells was getting out of step when it became apparent that basketball was enjoying greater popularity and success than football at Tulane.
So the big-wigs of the school came to Wells and told him that he had better stop having such good basketball teams. And to make their demand even stronger, they took away almost all basketball scholarships.
Last year, Wells had one and a half scholarships to entitle boys to come to Tulane and play ball. And from the outlook of things, Wells may not have any scholarships next year.
Anv wav vou look at it, it's a new angle in de-emphasis.
The New Orleans stay was marred by a downpour of rain that cancelled a boat ride planned for Friday morning. The trip, arranged by a former KU student, Charley Satterfield, was to include the various docks on the New Orleans waterfront and a cruise up the Mississippi.
Two other KU grads and former athletes, Dean Wells and Dick Bertuzzi, conducted tours for the more fortunate members of the party Thursday night.
What could have been a major catastrophe turned out to be only a scare Wednesday night as the team was leaving a theater. A tall ladder, being used to change the marque, was blown over by a gust of wind. Fortunately no one was on the ladder but it came within inches of striking B. H. Born.
Born moved just in time to avoid the ladder, which saved serious injury to the 6-9 Kansas center.

Ferris said the investigation started late the past summer after the AAU received newspaper reports from Europe concerning the touring Americans, who were on an AAU sponsored track barnstorming trip.
A wire story last night came out of New York quoting Dan Ferris, secretary of the AAU, that neither Santee or Mal Whitfield, another track man who was on the European tour last summer with the Kansan, was under suspension at the present time "because right now the evidence is too thin."
Ferris admitted, however, that the charges of amateur violations against the two athletes kept them from being considered for the Sullivan award, the AAU's highest honor to an amateur athlete.

"We asked the governing athletic bodies in Europe to substantiate the charges," Ferris said. "We received some information from them just before the Washington meeting. (When the Sullivan nominees were picked). Now we have to hear the boys' side of the story. Then we will send that back to Europe."
By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Editor
Wes Santee, all-American distance runner and holder of the American mile record, said this morning he had heard nothing official on reports that he is being "investigated for alleged violations of the amateur rules" by the American Athletic union.
"The officials said this would be satisfactory and they promised me my wishes would be done," Santee said. "One of the three races was rained out, so I only ran two of them. Then, just before I was ready to leave the country they said they couldn't give me the camera."
Santee, while touring Germany on a leg of the summer trip, requested that the prizes he was offered for running three different races be booled into one prize—a German robot camera.
Santee said he was a bit miffed because of the refusal of the Germans to fulfill their promise, and he said he asked them about the incident.
From scattered reports, all unofficial of course, it appears the main complaint against the Jayawaker runner was an incident over a promised camera which he never received.
"I haven't violated any AAU rules," he said.
A customary practice in Germany is to give prizes or souvenirs to touring dignitaries and athletes.
"The AAU hasn't contacted me except to verify whether or not I discussed the camera matter with foreign officials. I haven't heard from the AAU since before the Washington meeting."
The Kansan said the entire matter was "news" to him, and the first he heard he was being "investigated" was when the story came from New York.
He said he thought Whitfield was being accused of "injust charges," and said he thought the other runner would have been awarded the Sullivan trophy.
An ankle injury during practice yesterday to KU center B. H. Born may force the 6-9 high scorer out of action in tomorrow's game against Tulsa.
Born Injured In Practice
Born hurt the ankle during a scrimmage session in Robinson gym and the immediate diagnosis was that it was only a sprained ankle.
After Born was forced to leave the practice floor, Jim Titow, 6-6 sophomore from Grand Island, Neb., took over the No. 1 center post for the varsity, Toft, in brief appearances in the first two Jayhawker games, scored two of four attempted free throws and fouled once.
Other men working with the "varsity" lineup yesterday were forwards Al Kelley and Harold Patterson, and guards Dallas Dobbs and John Anderson.
Anderson, the only newcomer to the five which started the initial game against Tulane, opened against LSU in place of Larry Davenport. The other three started both contests.
Patterson, Hess Take Draft Exams
Two top KU athletes, Dennis Hess and Harold Patterson, yesterday went to Kansas City, Mo., to take their pre-induction draft physical examinations.
Hess, a football and track letter- man, is a junoir, and Patterson, football, basketball, and baseball letter winner, is a senior.
Whether or not one or either of them will be drafted is a question, but both have bad legs. Hess hurt his in football the past fall, and Patterson was discharged from the Marine Officer Training program last summer after suffering a leg injury while at camp at Quantico, Virginia.
End John Carson of Georgia, led the nation in pass receiving the past season with 45 catches for 663 yards.
