Page 4 University Daily Kansan Wednesday, March 26, 1952 Jayhawks, St. John's Advance To NCAA Tourney Kansas Crushes Santa Clara As St. John's Upsets Illinois St. John's rampaging Redmen from Brooklyn, the "miracle" basketball team of the year, will battle it out with record-breaking Clyde Lovellette and his Kansas Jayhawk mates tonight for the NCAA basketball championship. The Redmen astonished the cage world again last night by upsetting Big Ten champion Illinois, 61-59, in the Eastern Regional finals, but the general opinion is that the Brooklyn five will have to spring another "miracle" to whip Lovellette and Co. tonight. Lovellette, who soars six-etre, nine-inchers, racked up a mere 33 points in leading the Jayhawks to an easy 74-55 victory over Santa Rosa. He was hosts Regional final. That was a comedown from his 44 points in an earlier regional game, but still it enabled him to smash two more records. Big Clyde thus ran his total of field goals in three games to 41, busting the previous record of 31 set by Kentucky's Alex Groza in 1949. And his three-game total of 108 points wiped out his team in 1949 and the four-game record of 83 set by Don Sunderbake of Illinois last year. What's more, Lovellette now has 26 free throws, only one less than Sunderlage's record of 27. It's not hard to see that St. John's hopes for another upset will depend on how they handle Lovellette. In Dec. 1950, when the two teams clashed in New York with much the same cast, St. John's center Tawoluk outscored Lovellette, points to 15, but Kansas won, 52-51, on a last-second goal by big Clyde. But St. John's is not to be lightly held in its battle with the team ranked No. 3 in the nation. For the riotous Redmen have now bowled over in succession Kentucky, ranked No. 1, and Illinois, ranked No. 2. "I'd rather play St. John's than Illinois," admitted Kansas Coach Dr. Forrest C. "Phor" Allen. "Providence appears to be with us," said Coach Frank McGuire of St. John's. "What world is this? It's impossible-first Kentucky and now Illinois." Zawoluk was the key man in the Redmen win last night, chalking up 24 points. Ten of those markers came in the fourth quarter which began with the two teams tied. The teams had been tied, too, at the end of the first period, 18-18. But the Redmen reeled off straight 10 straight points to open the second period and were on top by six at the half. Illinois came driving back to tie, sparked by little Jim Bredar and Rod Fletcher, who tallied 14 points each. But then Zawoluk went to town in the final frame. Zawoluk, six-feet, six-inch tall, will be at a three-inch disadvantage against Lovellette in tonight's battle. Kansas never was in trouble against plucky Santa Clara, which simply ran out of surprises after upending UCLA and Wyoming. Powered by Lovellette, the Jayhawks pulled steadily further ahead. When Big Clyde sat down for a while with Kansas on top, 65-42, Santa Clara staged a desperate rally that narrowed the gap to 67-54. But then Lovellette came rumbling in again to break the Broncos' heart with three quick baskets. Herb Schoenstein was high man for the Broncos with 16 points. Besides the defensive maneuvers, a sharp scoring contest could very easily develop between the two men. Lovelletta has scored 31, 44, and 33 points in three NCAA games against Texas Christian, St. Louis and the Broncos, respectively.

By JOHN HERRINGTON Kansan Sports Editor The Illini-St. John's game was definitely the more exciting of the two played in Seattle's Edmundson pavilion last night. Kansas butchered underdog Santa Clara, 74-55, to remain a strong favorite to take the National championship. Fans are looking for a real battle when the Jayhawkers meet St. John's Redmen tonight. Bob Zawoluk contributed 26 points to St. John's winning cause. But he once again had to play second fiddle to All-American Clyde Lovellette who canned 33 points for the Jayhawks. In the final night of the Regional games, Zawoluk scored 32 points as the Redmen upset Kentucky, 64-57. The total was enough to put Za- Bob Ferrick's Santa Clara Brancos were just outclassed from the opening tip. Only once in the entire battle—if it could be called that—did the Broncs lead Kansas' Big Seven champions. Early in the first period Santa Clara grabbed the lead, 8-7. But it was short-lived effort on the part of the Broncs. ROOM 24 woluk into the NCAA individual scoring record-for a brief 30 minutes. Lovelleli scored 44 the same night against St. Louis. Kansas' spectacular defensive play once again was the striking feature of the Javhawker attack. It was similar to St. John's great defensive game against the Illini. Although outshot from the field by Illinois, St. John's had a greater will to win in many fans' estimation and completely controlled backboard play. We're wondering who the Redmen will put on Lovellette tonight to try to hold the big boy down. Ken Sears, Ferrick's choice last night, couldn't get his 6-foot, 7-inch in position to stop Lovellette. * * It's quite possible St. John's could throw a two-man defense against Lovellette, using Zawoluk and 6-foot, 6-inch Jim Davis for the dual chore. St. John's tallest player is the amazing Zawoluk. The Redman center stands one-half inch shorter than Sears. LOOK at the new Spring offerings for suits, sport coats and slacks.
