19 Page 6 pres- University Daily Kansan Monday, March 24, 1952 lectures take to Nash change C as Wins; At Seattle Tomorrow Kansas Wins Clyde Scores 44 In Kansas Win The greatest big man in basketball, Kansas' two-time All-America Clyde Lovellette, dunked a record-making 44 points Saturday night as the Jayhawkers won the Kansas City edition of the Western NCAA Regionals from St. Louis. 74-55. Lovellette went completely wild against the Billikens, who were powerless to stop the Terre Haute Terror once he got started. And after the 6-foot, 9-inch KU center had concluded his night's performance he had three new records tucked neatly under his belt. He had broken his own 42-point scoring mark he set against Southern Methodist earlier this year. He had topped the Western NCAA scoring records of 30 points. And he had eclipsed the National NCAA scoring record of 31 points set in 1941 by Gordon Glamack of North Carolina. Lovellette tied that record Friday night. It was the big boy's great shooting and great rebounding that did most to push the Kansans to the title. During the early contest when the Billikens had set up a tight defense against Kansas' outside shooters, Lovellette poured in the points from the inside. And his spectacular rebounding—he collected 16—kept the Jayhawkers in control of the ball the major part of the time. A crowd of 10,200 packed Municipal auditorium to watch the Bills battle the Jayhawkers for the right to be one of the teams to represent the Western division in the NCAA finals in Seattle Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The court giant hit 16 of his 24 field goal attempts for an amazing 65.7 per cent of his shots. It was one of the most stirring finishes in NCAA history. Both Kansas and St. Louis fans were eager to jump to their feet at the slightest mention of action—and there was plenty. After 30 seconds were gone in the third quarter, Lovelle hit to put the Jayhawkers on top 29-28. That shot was enough to leave the Jayhawks on the top of the scrap for the rest of the game. Defensively, the Kansans were far superior to Ed Hickey's Bills. With Charlie Hoag, Dean Kelley and John Keller heckling them every time they got the ball, the Billikens repeatedly made bad moves and often threw the ball away or had it stolen by the ball-hawking Kansas crew. After trailing by six points at the end of the first quarter, 14-8, the Jayhawkers used a little more power and sensational hawking by Hoag and Kelley to pull even with the Bilikens, 27-27, at halftime. Tournament sensation Ray Steiner, who drove New Mexico A&M nuts Friday night with some dribbling and passing exhibitions, was no match Saturday for the Jay-hawkers' Dean Kelley. Kelley, the only underclassman in the starting five for Kansas, continually broke away from the St. Louis guard's best defensive efforts. The result was a 10-point performance for Kelley. With Kelley on defense, Steiner never had a chance. The diminutive Jayhawker hounded him to the point he often miss-passed—something new to the 5-foot, 10-inch Steiner.
