Iowa State Scares Kansas Before Losing Game 55-50
By JACKIE JONES
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The Iowa State Cyclones refused to believe that they were the underdogs in their Monday night meeting with the Kansas Jayhawks, and proceeded to give Coach F. C. Phog Allen's squad a big scare before falling 55 to 50.
As the first half ended, Kansas held a slim five point lead, but were unable to hold onto this margin and when the final quarter began Iowa State had the score all tied up at 43 each.
The Cyclones were unprepared for the accurate long shots of Bill Hougland, and they refused to move out to block his shots in the final quarter. He tied Lovellette for Kansas high point honors with 13, six of them on long heaves in the hectic fourth quarter.
Clyde Lovelle and B. H. Born, both of Allen's tree-topping centers, fouled out in the third stanza, but John Keller moved into the post position and the Jayhawks began to hit from the outside.
Lovellie scored all of his points in the first half, playing only six shots and secured the second quarter. Born follows with his fifth personal within a few minutes.
Scoring honors for the night were shared by Jim Stange and Delmar Dierckes of the Cyclones. Each had 15 points, two better than Lovellette.
As third quarter began Diercels of Iowa State scored to make it 35 to 31, Hess sank a long shot, Charlie Hoag fouled Stange and the Cyclone hit him for a free throw, and Diercels hit another shot to knot the score at 35 each.
Iowa State went ahead with five minutes to play in the third quarter on a lay-up by Stange, but Hoag came back with another long shot to again tie the score. The lead changed hands twice more in the quarter, and was tied going into the
final period.
Hougland led off the fourth quarter with one of his spectacular shots from beyond the free throw strip, and Kansas was never again behind. Long tied it up at 45 each, but Kelley, Kenney and Hougland each scored in rapid succession. In the first six minutes of the last period, the Jayhawks capitalized on all Cyclone errors, scoring eight points to a single free throw for Staters.

Winner Of Daytona Beach Speed Race Likes To Sell Gas In Service Station.
Daytona Beach, Fla — (U.P.)— One hour after he won the national stock car championship by winging home on a prayer, burly Marshall Teague was back pumping gas at his service station and looking completely unlike a man who just had spent two hours in a roaring bedlam
Not long before, the former B-29 flight engineer had been hurling his Hudson Hornet around the four-mile beach-road course at an average of 84.65 miles an hour. That means he had threaded his way through 62 other cars, two-feet-deep sand ruts and tortuous curves at top speed of 110 miles an hour for the hour and 46 minutes it took him to cover the 160 miles.
It was his second straight triumph in this annual event over Daytona's famed speedway, but Teague was busy wiping windshields, checking oil and inflating tires for the trade. As the slow-talking, fast-driving Floridan explained:
sating hours on the course, had been for fun. Because the big man who started driving in 1945 counts the speedway as strictly "for laughs" and a sideline in which despite his success there isn't much financial return.
This is my business.
The other, those perilous, pul-
"Last year I won five good races and financially made very little," he explained. "But I sure like to go along for the ride."
His ride this time was a breeze, for he won going away by a full minute and 21 seconds over Herb Thomas, of Olivia, N. C. but it was a ride he almost didn't take—and almost didn't finish.
Last fall the black-haired man went to Mexico and drove in the 2,100-mile Trans-Mexico race. He finished sixth. But he was suspended from Nascar, which sanctions United States events, for competing in what was ruled an outlaw race. Teague debated for a while whether to pay a $575 fine but finally shelled out.
Kansas went into a stall for the last two minutes, and successfully kept the ball with some excellent passing.
With four minutes remaining, Long hit a free throw for Iowa State making the score 50 to 55 in favor of Kansas. This was the final margin of victory as neither team was able to hit in their final attempts.

from the basketball season last year, and could repeat again this season.
All of the teams in the play-offs went undefeated in the regular season of play and each has great scoring potentials. From the offensive standpoint, Foster hall is tops in intramurals. They scored over sixty points in two of their regular games.
The games tonight should be action packed, as all four of the teams are fast and adept at ball handling. The tri-Delts are the shortest team in intramural competition, but their playing ability should equal that of Sigma Kappa.
