Jayhawkers Upset Kansas State

The big crowd had gone home by the time the team pulled into town, but about 250 students were on hand to welcome the Jayhawkers home from their K-State victory and to hear a talk given by Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen.
"We have a better team, over-all, this year than we did last year," the KU coach pointed out. He cited the fact that the victory over K-State indicated that this was, above all, "a team victory."
Coach Allen also spoofed the idea of having a holiday to celebrate the victory. "Kansas State has called a special holiday when they have beaten us," he said, "but we have beaten K-State four times out of the last six, so we don't need a holiday."
He cited the need for meeting with the chancellor to determine a special time when all the students could get together to celebrate the victory. Praising the group which turned out to greet the team, coach Allen said we don't want to let the whole weight fall on the shoulders of you "Gideons."
Chill winds, the long wait, and the prospect of 8 o'clock classes combined to cause a crowd of about 2,500 students to dwindle by twos and threes. At about 1 a.m. only a fraction of the crowd remained jammed into the lobby of the Eldridge hotel waiting to greet the team.
The rally, which started immediately after the game ended, spread first to the campus, and then to downtown Lawrence. Cars raced up and down Jayhawk drive, across the lawns in front of Watson library, and on campus sidewalks during the first frenzy of excitement on the campus.
The exodus to the downtown area came shortly after the edge had worn off of whooping it up on the campus.
A REAL CROWD PLEASER—B. H. Born, Kansas center, who scored 27 points to lead the Jayhawk attack last night as the Kansans defeated Kansas State 80-78 in Manhattan, delivers a short address in answer to the cries of "We want Born" offered by the fans at last night's rally. The complete text of Born's speech: "As Clyde said last
Cars raced honking through town for a while.
then parked four abreast in the middle of Massachusetts street. The swarm of parked cars extended from 11th street to the south end of South park. The students abandoned the cars and ran screaming up and down the business district
They soon grew tired of this and left the downtown district in a group, returning shortly to jam the south end of the Kaw river bridge leading into town. The team was expected to arrive at about 12:30 a.m.
The crowd of students at this time was estimated at about 2,500. Cars were parked for blocks and students swarmed over the approach to the bridge in anticipation of the early arrival of the team. The surging of the crowd to get front-row positions drove the whole body of revelers across the bridge and into North Lawrence.
The crowd thought the big moment had come when the bus carrying the junior varsity and freshman basketball teams arrived. Shouts of "We want Phog!" faded to embarrassed silence as the students realized their mistake.
The premature celebration took the edge off of the earlier exuberance of the crowd, and the dwindling began.
Some of the revelers were disgruntled by this time because the team was taking so long to return. One student remarked, "T'll give them just three more hours to get here, then I'm going to go to class."
The usual hazards went along with last night's rally, though. Broken glass, firecrackers, dented fenders, and bruised feelings accompanied the exuberant fans on their sweep through town.
The rallies started out following the pattern of last year's rallies following the basketball team's NCAA triumphs, but fizzled out before the grand entrance of the team.

Student Hurt in Fall During Game Rally
No Action Reported On University TV
Nothing new has developed concerning the television grant, R. Edwin Browne, director of radio, said today.
Marvin Keller, college junior, reported in fair condition this morning at Watkins hospital following a fall from the west retaining wall of the south approach to the Kaw river bridge last night during the post-game rally.
Several weeks ago a 60-day extension was granted for raising the money.
The legislature has not acted upon granting the necessary $200,000 to match the $100,000 gift of the Ford foundation for adult education.
Keller received a severe concussion and a possible skull fracture, according to Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service. The full extent of his injuries will not be known until X-rays have been taken, Dr. Canuteson said.

Guidance Unit Adds Counselor
The appointment of Dr. Richard M. Rundquist as assistant professor of education and counselor in the guidance bureau was announced today by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.
Dr. Runquist, who received the doctor of education degree from the University of Missouri last August, has been on the staff of Stephens college in Columbia the past year and a half. He replaces Dr. Lee E. Isaacson, who resigned to go to Purdue university.
A native of Joliet, Ill., Dr. Rundquist began his collegiate work at St. Norbert's college, DePeree, Wis., transferring to Missouri after a year. He was in the army in 1943-46.
Returning to Missouri, Dr. Rundquist completed work for the A.B degree in wild life conservation in 1947. He added the B.S. in education in February of 1948 and the master of education in guidance and counseling in August of that year. He was a part-time counselor at MU for three years.
AWS Speaker Outlines Leadership
Women attending the second Associated Women Students leadership workshop lecture were taken on a journey along the road to leadership last night by Mrs. Tom Shay.
First, before starting the journey evaluate yourself, she suggested How free are you to contribute? Are your studies too heavy? Are you eligible scholastically and physically? Can you cooperate and get along with others?
Mrs. Shay, the former Donna McCosh, who was graduated from the University in 1952, presented a "roadmap" of three aspects to consider in being a successful leader.
"Look at yourself honestly, accept yourself, and then do the best with what you have," she said. "Your motive should be service,
The second aspect involves what kind of a journey it is going to be. It should be one thing, taking time to enjoy what you are doing, and being willing to take a side road occasionally, she pointed out.
"There should be no task too low for a person on the road to leadership." Mrs. Shay said. "There must be planning, but there is no room for schemes driven recklessly toward some desired end."
Third, after arriving at the journey's destination, a position of leadership, Mrs. Shay's roadmap included three more points of interest; another self-evaluation, evaluation of your predecessor, and a sense of a job well done.
Dong a job well takes knowledge of its background, courage, a responsibility to see that others benefit from the organization, and the ability to set an example, she said.
"It's very unfortunate that we place emphasis so much on title," she said. "Anyone doing a job well, no matter how small, is a leader in his own right."
"If you are too busy to relax occasionally, to give time and thought to people, to dream a little, to study a little, to worship a little, then you are too busy to be a leader,"
The last in the series of workshop lectures will be given by the Rev. James H. Williams, minister of the First Presbyterian church, Dodge City, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Strong auditorium.

Weather
Dust and winds were the dark prospects for power-dry western and Central Kansas today. The
wheat crop, hurt by a months-long drought, faced the additional hazard of high winds earing at the poorly developed roots and fanning away. No moisture was in sight today, forecasters said. Shifting
COLDER winds will bring colder weather into western Kansas tonight and the remainder of the state by Thursday morning.
