Kansas Trims Nebraska, 65-59 As Born Dumps 34 for Jayhawks
By DON NIELSEN Kansan Sports Editor
Thanks to some high-scoring high jinks by Kansas center B. H. Born, the Jayhawks won their second conference game in three starts last night against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 65-59.
Born poured in 34 points on 11 field goals and 12 free throws. He shot from the field, ant clung close to the nets to snag 12 rebounds.
A crowd of more than 6,000 was on the scene as the Jayhawkers whomped the Huskers, groaning as Born out-shot, out-rebounded, and out-played his 6 foot, 7 inch rival, Bill Johnson, Nebraska center.
The impressive point total racked up by Born came at an opportune moment since the Nebraska zone, which averaged 6 feet, 4 inches, had throttled most of its previous opponents fairly effectively.
The win gives Kansas an 8-3 won and lost record, and a 2-1 record in conference play. The game marked the end of a two-game road trip.
The Cornhuskers pressed the Jayhawks closely all the way, last night, creeping to within one point, 41-40, during the third quarter, but the 11 point lead enjoyed by the Jayhawks at halftime served to tide them through the lean periods.
Once again it was Jayhawk hustle that spelled the difference, but not so much this time as during the Oklahoma A&M game. The Kansans hawked the ball constantly, and succeeded in causing the Cornhuskers to lose the ball, but their rushing tactics managed to foul four of the
Baseball Course May Be Offered
A course in baseball may be offered next semester by the department of physical education.
Henry Shenk, chairman of the department of physical education, said he would consider offering the course if there were from 8 to 10 persons interested in taking it.
The students need not be physical education majors. Anyone interested in taking this course as an elective may do so. Two hours credit will be given.

startive live here.
The Jayhaw scoring drive stalled out somewhat during the third and upset opponents when KU captain Dan Kelley left the game because of a back injury. But some sharp-shooting by Born and some ball-hawking by the Kansans managed to keep them in front.
Paul Fredstrom, 6 foot, 3 inch forward for the Huskers, followed Born for scoring honors with 14. Next were Gary Renzelman, a sub who turned in a stellar performance, and Johnson, who got 13 and 10 points respectively.
The Jayhawks return to Lawrence today to groom for the game with Kansas State, rated No.1 in the nation, on Saturday. The game is expected to be a sell-out.

Weary, Willing Walcott Can't Be Sold Short
By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer
New York—(U.P.)—The boxing clock may not have struck mid-iyet today on the Cinderella女孩 old of Jersey Joe Walcott.
That's a controversial assertion.
But Bentham gives sound reasons.
"Neither man has fought in more than six months and, strange as it may seem, that fact weighs more against Marciano than it does against Walcott."
“First of all,” he explains, “a long layoff doesn't hurt a boxer like Walcott as much as it does a slugger like Marianco. A boxer has to have the ability—and naturally has to stay in shape—but a slugger has to keep working at his rough, tough trade to keep up his stamina, his
'If Walcott is in the shape he was in last September, he can win it,' flatly insists Teddy Bentham, a veteran trainer who has worked in the corners of such as Lee Savold, Lee Oma and Jimmy Carter.
Any hour now, it will chime the official date—expected to be April 10 at Chicago—on which the weary but willing warrior will attempt to regain the heavyweight champion's victory over Rocky Marciano. And there are plenty on the sock exchange who think he can do it.
Don't forget, Old Jersey was winning in defense of his title at Philadelphia's Municipal stadium the night of Sept. 23 when the Rock caught him with a desperation right. Old Joe will be 39 (at least) the end of this month, but boxing men still aren't selling him short.
Marciano, on the other hand, is just as two-fisted with the roast beef as he is in the ring. And, conversely, Walcott always has lived a spartan life and taken exceptionally good care of himself. They know, too, in the fight game that ever since Marciano knocked him out Old Jersey has trained assiduously for his return shot.
Walcott already is a legend of the ring as the oldest man ever to win boxing's biggest prize. Joe was a deducted 37 when, on his fifth attempt to win the title, he kayed Ezzard Charles at Pittsburgh in 1951. Prior to that time, Bob Fitzsimmons, at 35, was the oldest ever to capture the heavyweight crown.
Bentham pointed out that Benny Leonard, for instance, during a long layoff did road work at least once a week and was exceptionally careful about his diet.
wind and his timing."
Whatever the outcome, it will write another chilling chapter in the fantastic career of the old Jersey man. It also is expected to revive the million dollar gate, of which there have been only eight in ring history.
Actually, it could be a classic or a flop. But boxing men feel that old Jersey can make it a once-in-a-lifetime thriller by once more doing the "impossible."
ANOTHER BIG TURKEY?—B. H. Born, Kansas' 6-foot, 9-inch center, gave further proof that he may develop into a capable replacement for all-American Clyde Lovellette with a 34-point outburst against Nebraska last night as the Jayhawkers won, 65-59. Born spearheaded the Kansas attack, getting 17 points in each half, and cleared 12 rebounds off the backboards. The 34-point output represented four more than Lovellette ever was able to gather on the Lincoln court, but was 10 points below the "monster's" best showing of 44 points. It was, however, Born's best showing of his career.
Sooners Take Big 7 Lead
The surprising Oklahoma Sooners took undisputed possession of first place in the Big Seven conference basketball chase last night, blasting Colorado 72-63 in a game at Norman.
The Oklahoma victory, coupled with a 65-59 Kansas defeat of Nebraska, left Coach Bruce Drake's club atop the heap with a 3-0 mark. Kansas State, the pre-season choice for the top spot, doesn't enter conference play until they tangle with the Jayhawkers Saturday night in Hoch auditorium.
Center Bob Waller paced the OU attack with 18 points, while holding Colorado center Burdette Halderson to nine. The victory avenged the Sooner's 15-point loss to Colorado in the conference tournament.

Mr. Krutzsch takes over from Walt Mikols as head swimming coach and from Jim McConnell as an assistant to Track Coach Bill Easton. His first duty will be sending his Jayhawker swimmers against Nebraska in the Robinson gym pool Wednesday afternoon.
Phil Krutzsch, an instructor in zoology, has been appointed head swimming and assistant track coach for the remainder of the school year.

Mikols gave up his swimming job to devote full time to his physical education duties. McConnell, after two years here, is coaching high school in Nebraska.
Krutzsch earned seven letters while attending San Diego State in California, graduating in 1943. He coached football and track at Hoover High, San Diego, in 1942 and was physical education and physical fitness and combative sports instructor at San Diego State the following year.

Kirksville, Mo. —(U,P)— Sharpshooting Dani Anielturned in a 37-point scoring performance to pace Springfield to a 77-66 victory over Kirksville in an MIAA game here last night.
Springfield's giants took the lead after two minutes and stayed there until the finish, but Kirksville came within four points in the third quarter.
Fourteen of Anielak's points were scored in the final quarter. Forrest Hamilton got 15 for Springfield and Glenn Cafer was high for the losers with 17.
Wildcats Groom For Jayhawker Game Saturday
Manhattan — (U.P.)—Kansas State's basketball team, ranked first in the nation and favorite in the Big Seven conference race, turned its attention today to the game with Kansas Saturday at Lawrence and coach Jack Gardner made it plain that the K-State defense must improve.

Gardner pointed out to his tall charges by Jayhawks, defeated 92% by K-State in the Big Seven tourney last month, are an improved aggregation with plenty of balanced shooting power.
shooting power. The coach also stressed that Kansas State's attack must smoothen and make fewer errors if the Wildcats are to cope with the pressing defensive style used by KU.
"We made too many bad passes in the Marquette game," said Gardner, "and, although Tex Winter had an excellently coached team against us Saturday night, a young club such as Marquette should not have scored 72 points."
Kansas State won its eight victory of the season against one loss by defeating Marquette, 88 to 72.
Columbia, Mo. — (U.P.) Missouri basketball coach Sparky Stalcup said today he will make a change in his team's offensive pattern to get more points.
The team is working out this week without a center, he said, and if the new arrangement proves satisfactory it will be tried against Colorado at Boulder Saturday night.
"We've been losing close ones and our arrangement will help," said Stalker.
The lineup shift calls for three men playing back under the basket, but with no player on the post.
In the new setup Stalcup will exercise plenty of loft with Bob Reiter, 6-8; Lee Fowler, 6-5; and Gene Landolt, 6-4, slated to handle the "under the basket" positions.
