Page 4 University Daily Kansan Tuesday. Feb 24, 1953 A&M Cools Kansas With 79-58 Romp By CHUCK MORELOCK Kansan Assistant Sports Editor Oklahoma A&M cooled off Kansas's Big Seven leaders by breaking up the contest in the third period to trounce the Jayhawkers, 79-58 before a sell-out crowd of 9,700 at Stillwater last night. The Aggie victory ended a 4-game winning streak for the Kansans which saw the Jayhawkers score three easy wins in Hoch auditorium and a tremendous 80-78 victory at Manhattan last Tuesday. The win over the Cowboys Hank Bakey into 14-12 lead over Phog Allen and enabled the Cowbys to gain revenge for a 53-65 loss suffered in Hoch last month. Kansas victory hopes received a severe jolt early in the game as center B. H. Born picked up four quick balls. Born hit only six points for the evening, while Bob Mattick, the Aggie pivot man, scored 24. Kansas had to use 6 foot 1 harold Patterson on Mattick, 6-10, when Born was on the bench and could never slow down the big Chicago junior. Oklahoma A&M, on top by 29-29 at halftime, outscored the Jayhawkers 20-10 in the big third period to take a 57-39 advantage at the end of that quarter. Tom Fuller started the spree with a set shot, Dale Roark hit a free throw, then Roark and Mattick staged a scoring dual by chalking up nine and eight points each to score all but three of the Aggie points in the quarter. The ice-cold Kansas could connect with only three fielders and could rarely grab a rebound as the Cowboys run up their 19th straight home-court victory and their 18th of the season against five losses. Aggie Bob Hendrick tossed in 13 points in the last period to offset an improved Kansas attack which picked up 19 points. A&M scored 22 to finish with 79, the highest total either team has scored in the long series. Harold Rogers scored the first basket in the game on a long set shot. Al Kelley and Harold Patterson then tossed in three free throws, but charity tosses by Mattick and Rogers wiped out that Kansas lead and the Jayhawkers were behind for the rest of the game. A&M then turned on the steam to run up a 17-9 lead and a 20-13 first-period advantage. The Cowboys held the frigid Kansans to just three field goals, a hook shot by Patterson and a layup and set shot by Al Kelley. Mattick scored from under the net midway in the second period to put the Aggies ahead, 30-19. Kansas then started a bid to get back in the game on Al Kelley's layup and set shot, and Larry Davenport's long fielder. That chopped the margin to five, 25-30, but the Cowboys kept pace the rest of the period to take the 37-29 halftime lead. The tough Aggie defense allowed the Jayhawkers few good shots from the field. Patterson hit 18 to take Kansas scoring honors while Al Kelley got 13 and Dean Kelley 11. Born's early collection of fouls crippled the Kansans all evening and allowed Mattick to score at will from the pivot post. Rogers was the No. 2 Aggie scorer with 14. Roark and Hendrick scored 13 and Kendall Sheets chipped in nine. Kansas is idle until next Monday when the Jayhawkers meet Colorado at Hgch.

Thinclads Have Toughest Test In Conference Indoor Meet The Air Force ROTC rifle team beat Wichita university 1871-1836 this weekend in a shoulder to shoulder match in the Military Science building. This was the last match for the Air Force team before they travel to Stillwater, Okla., March 7, for the National Collegiate shoulder-to-shoulder match. This match is fired in 15 regional spots where regional winners are determined, and then the scores are sent to the National Rifle association where the national winners are picked. ROTC Rifle Team Outshoots Wichita The best score fired for KU was made by Frank Jennings at 383 out of a possible 400. Brownlee was high for Wichita with 373. Kansas, a slight favorite to win the title for the second straight year, is riding on a string of 11 consecutive dual meet victories on the indoor boards. In the event that Wilson isn't ready to go Saturday, this will leave only Kiehn Palmquist to handle the chores in the two-mile, an event in which the Jayhawkers have won six consecutive titles, unless distance ace Wes Santee is moved up from the 880. Oklahoma's chances dimmed between semesters when they lost the services of their Olympic quarter-miler J. W. Mashburn, miler Ronald Reed, and shot-putter Steve Champlin because of scholastic difficulties. The Jayhawkers have also been weakened somewhat since early season. Dick McGlenn's spiked leg at Missouri Friday night may keep him out of the meet, and two-miler Dick Wilson may not be ready to go Saturday because of a case of the hives. Kansas will also miss the running of Norm Bitner, a distance man who hasn't seen action since he pulled a knee muscle early last fall. Bitner took third in both the indoor and outdoor championship meets last year. In any event, the fabulous Santee will undoubtedly take two firsts, one in the mile, and one in either the half or two-mile. The slim record-breaker has established new marks in the mile and 880 in all three of his dual-meet outings this season, all Rivera's Bunting Improves The Wildcats look like the strongest contender at the present time. All but one of their point winners from last year's championship meet are back, and their team is good enough to take second place. The two strongest contenders to dethrone the Jayhawkers from their position of dominance are Oklahoma and Kansas State. Last year Kansas won the title with an impressive 18 point margin. The Kansas indoor track squad will meet its toughest test of the season this weekend when they go against the six other conference teams in the Big Seven indoor meet in Kansas City's Municipio auditorium. According to M/Sgt. Harold Swartton, rifle team coach, no results have been received as yet from either the Hearst Trophy match or the National Service area match, both telegraphic meets. --but one of these being under the Big Seven records. El Centro, Calif.—(U.P.)—Manager Paul Richards noted "marked improvement" in outfielder Jim Rivera's bunting Monday after a workout devoted exclusively to the manager's favorite offensive weapon. Richards intends to work again today with his 15 pitchers on bunting. The White Sox led the American league in sacrifices last season, but finished third in the standings. EXPERT WATCH REPAIR Electronically Timed. Guaranteed Satisfaction 1 Week or Less Service WOLFSON'S 743 Mass. Another standout in individual achievement in the meet will be the Wildcat's flushy Thane Baker. He equaled the world indoor mark in the 60-yard dash at :06.1 against Kansas, and stands a good chance of breaking Bill Lyda's 440-yard mark at :49.3. Baker will take on a third duty when he anchors K-State's mile relay team, which has won every start so far this season. Another good first-place bet for Kansas will be pole vaulter Norm Steanson. Steanson holds the best Big Seven leap of the season to date with a 13 foot $4\frac{1}{2}$ inch vault against Kansas State. He will have to be in good form, however, to beat the Wildcats' Veryl Switzer who has also cleared the 13 foot mark in dual meet competition. Jensen 'Wav Off in Timing' Orlando, Fla.—(U,P)—Washington Senator outfielder Jackie Jensen reported Monday that he is close to playing weight, but "way off in timing." Jensen complained of sore hands after working out yesterday, but predicted he would be "far ahead of the rest of the gang when the boys report Friday."
