Monday, Jan. 19, 1953 University Daily Kansan Page 3 Jayhawkers Win 80-66 QUITE A STRETCH—K-State's Jim Smith and KU's John Anderson leap for a rebound during the third quarter of Saturday's game in Hoch auditorium. Other players in the picture are KU forward Larry Davenport, No. 4, Wildcat center Jerry Jung, No. 12, Wildcat forward Jesse Prisock, No. 43, and KU guard Gil Reich, No. 20. By DON NIELSEN Wotta game—we're still hoarse, but with good reason. Never have we seen a game like that. For sheer excitement, nothing could have topped the Jayhawke performance of last Saturday night. The notion all the way through the game that perhaps here was an opportunity to defeat the Wildcats in spite of ominous pre-game forecasts was enough to keep 99 per cent of the spectators on their feet at least some of the time. The other one per cent probably consisted either of K-State fans or infants. The startling and wonderful thing about the game was the fact that KU's shorties managed to hold down a group of stilted cage giants even after the Kansas first string was depleted by fouls. Kansas showed more defensive strength than it was imagined existed on the Jayhawk bench. Outstanding among the reserve performances was that of Kansas guard John Anderson who dumped in eight valuable points in the closing periods. His contributions came as a result of his loitering under the basket until the Wildcats had been suckered out of position, then taking a pass and dropping in an easy set-up. His calm assurance on the floor did more toward making the Wildcats look like a bunch of fiddle-footes than the final score. Another Jayhawk who helped a good many of the 4,000 customers present was replacement guard Dean Smith. Smith scored only two points on a couple of foul-shots, but his ball handling and floor antics helped to befuddle the already confused K-Staters. All this doesn't mean to imply that the Wildcats were no match for the Jayhawks, far from it. They had their stellar performers, but they just had an off night. One other man on the floor that turned in his usual high-caliber performance was Wildcat guard Bob Rousey. His accuracy from a distance was astounding, and some of the shots he made were miraculous. During the closing minutes of the first half, he sank a desperation 40-footer and made it look so easy that Dean Kelley followed with one of his own. For example, the much renowned center Dick Knostman was held to a poor—for him—12 points. He previously had averaged 23 points per game. Anyway, Kansas State never was so bad as to make any Kansas fan feel comfortable. But each team also had men on the floor who turned in some poor performances. Everybody has bad nights, we suppose, but some of the guys on both sides played like they had their feet in buckets. Kansas State's reserve center, Jerry Jung, a 6 foot $10\frac{1}{2}$ inch sophomore, made a fine contribution to the Kansas cause during the game. He came into the contest, missed two free throws, committed five fouls, and retired. He managed to lay on B. H. Born's shoulder each time Born took a shot Jung tried to block it. Don't sell him short though, Jung with a chance to get more experience will be all-conference material. Born Scores 31 to Highlight KU Win Over Kansas State By DON NIELSEN Kansan Sports Editor Kansas s' hustling Jayhawks swept to an unexpected 80-66 victory over Kansas State's befuddled, cold Wildcats Saturday in a Big Seven conference game in Hoch auditorium. The Jayhawks gained a lead in the first quarter and, save for a few anxious moments in the third quarter, managed to stay on the comfortable side of a six-or-seven point lead throughout the game. MONDAY Big B. H. Born sparked the Jayhawk upset over the nation's No. 1 team by dumping in 31 points on 10 field goals and 11 free throws. Born also held Wildeat center Dick Knostman to his poorest point total of the season as the highly touted pivot man was able to score only 12 points on four field goals and four free throws. The victory stretched to 16 games the Jayhawks' home-court winning streak, Kansas has not lost in Hoch auditorium since 1950. The win also put the Wildcats on the bottom of the Big Seven ratings since the Saturday game was the K-Staters' first dip into conference waters. Official Bulletin The win gives KU a 9-3 record for the season and hands the Wildcats their second defeat for an 8-2 record. The Wildcats previously had been beaten only by Michigan State, 80-63, in a game which saw the Wildcats colder than the proverbial pawnbroker's heart. Kansas State pulled to a quick start and led the Jayhawks by a 5-1 margin, but Born tied the score after about three minutes, and put KU ahead on a left-handed hook shot. The Jayhawks held a sturdy 21-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. Beginning the second half, Kansas' chances looked poor. Dean Kelley, Kansas team captain, Gil Reich, and Born all entered the third period with four fouls against them. Dean Kelley was the first to go, but his brother Allen picked up his third and fourth fouls to follow him to the bench. Born managed to play it cautiously and stay in the game with his four fouls until the last three minutes. In the second quarter Kansas State and the Jayhawks traded punches evenly, although the Wildcats threatened severely during most of the period. Both teams scored twenty points, and the Jayhawks left the floor with a 41-34 lead. Percentagewise, the boys from "up the creek" made a pitiful showing. The Wildcats hit only 18 percent of their shots from the field, while the Jayhawks dumped in a scintillating 42 per cent. Kansas State outscored the Jayhawks 14-13 in the third quarter, but the Jayhawks managed to pull a remarkable amount of reserve strength off of the bench to smother the Wildcats 26-18 in the final period. In the closing minutes the frustrated and panic-stricken Wildcats managed to commit enough fouls and to miss enough field goal attempts to put the Jayhawks on easy street. The K-Staters never threatened after the fourth period got underway. Mathematical colloquium: 5 p.m., 203 Strong. The Jayhawks will travel to Boulder Tuesday for a game with the Colorado Buffaloes.

Single Big 7 Loss Leaves Low Rating for Kansas State There probably wasn't another conference in the nation today that could better emphasize the uncertainties of basketball. For example, the Big Seven conference boasted the nation's No.1 ranked squad in Kansas State—and yet Kansas State was at the bottom of the Big Seven standings. It all came about by Kansas' amazing upset of the K-State giants at Lawrence Saturday night, 80 to 66. The surprising defeat came in Kansas State's first conference appearance so it left Jack Gardner's title-favorites with a 0-1 mark compared with Kansas' 3-1, good for second place in the standings. Oklahoma's Sooners still showed the way—the only undefeated team lost to Misouri Saturday night by a 79-72 score in a hotly contested game. Box Score Kansas (80) G-Ga F-Fa Pf Tp Buller 0-1 3-4 3 0 D.
