Phog Allen Wins 700th Game As KU Tops A&M
Phog Allen Wins 7 KU Defense Stops A&M In 66-46 Jayhawk Win
The Kansas Jayhawkers gave Coach F. C. Phog Allen his 700th win Tuesday evening as they trounced Oklahoma A&M with an impressive 66 to 46 victory.
The Kansans played an inspired brand of basketball in winning from the nation's top defensive team. They were not only aggressive on offense, but continuously stole the ball and intercepted passes.
Clyde Lovellette and Bob Kenney both went over the twenty point mark as Coach Allen's crew established a new scoring record against the Aggies.
Lovellette sank 27 points and Kenney netted 23. This gives the All-American center a total of 521 points this season. Kenney maintained his high free throw percentage with nine out of ten attempts.
The Kansas defense held the Aggies scoreless for five minutes of the first quarter before Bob Mattick connected with a goal from the field.
Kansas was never behind in the contest. Lovelette sank a shot with only thirty seconds gone in the game, and from there KU set a torrid scoring pace. At the end of the first quarter the score stood at 22 to 10.
The Kansas drive continued into the second stanza, with the Jayhawkers piling up a 19 point spread between the teams. Johnson and Stockton of the Aggies cut the lead to 11 points, but the scoring drive was started and the A&M squad could not halt it.
At the close of the third period, Kansas was leading 53 to 37, and in the last quarter KU went on another scoring drive netting a 25-point spread between the teams before the Aggies were able to cut it down.
Kansas scored on twenty-three of sixty-six shots for a 41 per cent average. The Aggies were able to tally on only eighteen of sixty-one for 30 per cent.
In rebounding, the Kansas squad was far superior. Bill Hollougand was
eredited with clearing the defensive boards six times, and Lovellette came up with the same number.
This was the eighteenth win for Kansas against two losses, one of them being to the Aggies earlier in the season.
Lovellette's 27 points against A&M was his high for a meeting between these schools. Previously he had been held to 18 points or less. The individual scoring high in the series is 28 points held by Bob Kurland.

Brooklyn Dodgers In Training Camp Sorrowfully Wait For 'Next Year'
Vero Beach, Fla. - (U.P.)- The Brooklyn Dodgers ended their sorrowful wait for "next year" today and opened their 1952 spring training camp.
Manager Charley Dressen's first step in a program to make up for the Dodgers' pennant failure of 1951 was to order sluggers Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo to learn to hit to right field. Both men slumped badly in the stretch drive as the Giants came on to win.
"I want to break that left field shift against them," Dressen explained. "They'll be better hitters if
they learn to slice to right field."
Hodges blasted 40 home runs and knocked in 103 runs last season but he batted only .268. Furillo hit 16 home runs and knocked in 91 runs although he served as leadoff man most of the season. He batted .255.
Dressen also revealed that he would experiment with Furillo lower down in the batting order "where his power might help us more." He indicated that Peewee Reese would be restored the leadoff position he occupied under Burt Shotton and that Billy Cox would be the leading candidate to succeed Reese in the no. 2 position.

Bratton To Fight Without Any Pay
Chicago — (U.P.) — Johnny Bratton fights for tonight, but the Negro battler figured a shot at Kid Gavilan's world walterweight championship might warrant a free show.
Bratton, twice married, once divorced, his jaw broken three times and his hands broken twice, meets Vic Cardell, Hartford, Conn., in a 10 round television bout at the Chicago stadium.
But legal problems, an item permanently on his list of worries since 1949, will hold up his probable payoff estimated at around $4,000. His first wife filed suit for non-support in a Chicago court yesterday, alleging he owed her $552, while a goverment assessment of $32,000 for back taxes for 1949 also was still effective.
International Boxing Club secretary Truman Gibson said that Bratton would get nothing for toonies and that neither would the government.
"We're going to hold the money," he said, "until these cases are settled."
