A new Big Seven conference scoring king was crowned in Hoch auditorium last night as Kansas center B. H. Born rang up 44 points, but the new champ said that "I would have been glad if we had beaten Colorado by just one point."
The 6 foot 9 inch Medicine Lodge junior said he didn't know how many points he had scored until a time out was called with two minutes left to play. At that point, Born had 38 points. He tied Dick Knostman's record in the next minute by sinking four free throws, then with 30 seconds left, he established the new Big Seven total of 44 with a layup.
Born said he was knocked down after tossing in the record-smashing basket and thought at the time he had jammed a thumb which "made
Bulletin
B. H. Born broke the thumb on his right hand but will be able to play in the Iowa State game Friday night, team physician, Dr. Alexander Mitchell, reported at noon today. Born apparently broke the thumb while shooting his final field goal last night, Dr. Mitchell said. The 6-9 sharp-shooter was X-rayed this morning, and the x-ray was put in a splint.
me unhappy." However, he received a tremendous ovation from the packed house of 3,800 when he fouled out seconds later. He said that this cheering "Made me feel pretty good."
The lanky center shot a sizzling 62 per cent average with 16 field goals in 26 attempts. He hit eight of nine field goals in the first period to finish with 17 points and at halftime had connected 11 times in 15 tries for a 73 per cent average.
"I was lucky in the first quarter," Born said. "Lots of times I've missed eight of nine in other games."
Born picked up only four points in the third quarter, but tossed in 15 in the final period. He was on the bench for about five minutes in the third frame and said that "I wasn't trying to score heavily in the quarter."
Coach "Phog" Allen said he was "terribly proud" of Born. He pointed out that Born's great performance helped him climax a rise from an obscure substitute for all-American Clyde Lovellette to a full-fledged star in his own right.
staff in Coach Allen said that the Kansas coaching staff would have been happy if Born could average 12 points a game at the start of the present campaign. He said that Colorado tried to keep Born from setting a new conference scoring record and that "They weren't going to let him have the ball."
He said that Kansas switched its offensive and defensive patterns constantly during the game to meet Colorado's style of play. He said that KU used no new plays, but just adapted its offense to meet Colorado's defensive tactics.
rago's defensive hero.
Coach Allen praised guard Gil Reich and said he is the "obscure man" on the KU squad. "He steals, ball-hawks, and is a terrific defender."
He pointed out that Reich's great hustle, which results in ball steals and intercepted passes, makes it possible for Born to score heavily. The veteran Kansas coach emphasized that "Reich must be given a lot of credit for Born's success. He is the leader on the Kansas team and does everything just a little bit better than the average player."

ASC May Scrap Referendum For New Action
The All Student Council probably will take action to drop proceedings on the referendum vote it had scheduled for March 11, the Daily Kansan learned today.
Certain ASC members contacted said the referendum vote will be dropped for two reasons. It has certain illegal aspects, they feel, and a new reorganization plan has been developed since the last Council meeting.
On March 11, students are slated to vote preferentially on four issues: two campus political reorganization plans, leaving the ASC as is, or erasing all powers held by the ASC and transferring them to Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
The newest of the reorganization plans has elements of both the plans that were to be voted upon. The ASC members interviewed said they felt it to be a compromise which should satisfy backers of both plans
The Council will meet Thursday to decide on action.

Debate Team Wins 8, Loses 2
Eight wins and two losses for the KU debate team were the result of the University of Nebraska Intercollegiate Debate and Discussion conference, held Friday and Saturday in Lincoln.
Both the affirmative and negative teams won four and lost one debate. William Nulton, college senior, and William Crews, business junior, argued affirmatively, while Donald Hopkins, special student in law, and Orval Swander Jr., business senior, were on the negative team.
No score declared the winner. Emphasis was placed upon ratings for teams and individual debaters. KU got the only superior rating for both teams in the conference, and each University debater received an individual superior rating. Thirty-three schools from nine states were represented.
J. O. Maloney, professor of chemical engineering, will speak on "Application of Carbon 14 to the Study of Diffusional Operations" at a meeting of the University chapter of the American Chemical society at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in 305 Bailey hall.

NCAA Possibility Changes Film Date
The chance of KU playing in the NCAA playoffs at Manhattan March 13 has caused postponement of the foreign film, "Torment," which was to have been shown Friday, until Friday, March 20.
The Iowa State basketball game was moved from the 9th to the 6th of March, so that the Missouri game can be played on the 9th instead of the 12th. Thus KU will have a free night on the 12th in case they play in the playoffs the 13th.
More Snow Seen for Area
The weather shows few signs of letting up in the near future as, with 5 inches of snow on the ground, another 4 inches is expected.
The heavy fall of snow in Lawrence had not caused any serious accidents at noon, but campus police reported many cars stalled or stuck in the west slush.
Heavy snow and freezing rain fell over the entire north half of Kansas this morning with the remainder of the state getting rain and sleet. The southern part of the state reported snow and rain, Wichita reported freezing rain and sleet, and Garden City reported rain and fog.
The sheriff reported no accidents, but the highway patrol reported that highways are in treacherous condition. Travel is on a reduced speed basis, and visibility is very poor. The patrol warned motorists to stay off the highways if possible and to exercise extreme caution if traveling is necessary.
Snowplows have been sent out in hopes of clearing the expected four inch fall before it seriously hampers the highway condition.
The high temperature yesterday was 36 degrees in Lawrence, and the reported low here was 28 degrees.
Council Okays Housing Plans
Bill to Admit Hawaii to Union Approved by Committee
A special meeting of the All Student Council was called yesterday afternoon to vote student approval of housing extension plans. Request for this approval was made by Chancellor Murphy. The ASC endorsed a letter to the chancellor of unanimous approval.
Washington—U.P.—The House committee of interior and insular affairs today approved, 21 to 5, a bill to admit Hawaii to the Union as the 49th state. $ \textcircled{*} $
The vote came after the committee narrowly defeated a Democratic move to consider the measure further and couple it with a proposal to admit Alaska to the union at the same time.
Rep. John P. Saylor (R-Pa),
rep. chairman of a subcommittee which
to approve A. L. Miller (R-Neb).
Chairman A. L. Miller (R-Neb)
ruled Rep. Engel's motion out of order.
The vote came on an appeal from his ruling. It was largely on party lines, with Republicans voting against Rep. Engel's motion and Democrats voting for it.
The House interior and insular affairs committee however, rejected 11 to 9 a proposal by Rep. Clair Engle (D-Callif) to include Alaska in a Hawaiian statehood bill which the committee apparently was ready to approve by a substantial majority
earlier had approved the administration-backed bill to admit to statehood Hawaii only, announced in reply to Democratic questions that President Eisenhower, House Speaker Joseph W. Martin, and Republican Charles A. Halleck all had given him a green light to proceed with hearings on statehood for Alaska.
He emphasized that they had not committed themselves on the issue.
"I propose to set early hearings on proposals for statehood for Alaska," Rep. Saylor announced.
Rep. Engel said he was afraid this didn't mean much.
"As far as the administration is concerned," Mr. Engel said, "Alaska statehood seems to be suffering from silence."
Mr. Vosper said that Mr. Long intends to enter private business, but plans for the future are incomplete. His resignation was effective yesterday. A replacement has not been announced.
Other staff changes were also announced by Mr. Vosper. Robert Mengel, an ornithologist at the University of Michigan, will come to KU in the near future for consultative work in connection with the Ellis Ornithological collection. Mr. Mengel will be on the library staff until June to study the importance of the collection in the study of ornithology, and the best use for the collection on the campus.
Miss Frances DeArmond, head of the circulation department for the past two years, has resigned to take a new position in Denver. She will be replaced by John Nugent, who has been on the staff for three years in the cataloging department.
Washington — (U.F.)— Gen. James A. Van Fleet laid his Korean strategy views on the line today in a private White House talk with President Eisenhower.
Van Fleet, Ike Discuss Korea
The retired 8th Army commander flew here through freezing rain to confer about Korea with the President and to receive a hero's welcome-home by the nation's civilian and military high commands.
The general's plane landed at National airport at 10:31 a.m. after a flight from Fort Bragg, N.C. He was greeted with full military honors.
Gen. Van Elect is scheduled to answer Congressional questions, in hearings starting tomorrow, on what can be done to break the Korean stalemate.
Gen. Van Fleet, relieved of his Korean command for age reasons, has said often that his beloved 8th Army could launch a stalmate-smashing offensive any time with what it has now in men and arms.
But Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, has said a heavy mobilization buildup would have to precede a successful offensive against the Chinese Red.
What Gen. Van Fleet can tell Congress on this score will develop later. Today's business, perhaps with the exception of the private talks with the commander-in-chief, was largely ceremonious.
