Nation's Top Team Cops Conference Opener 71-48
By CHARLEY BURCH
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
An aggressive squad of Kansas Jayhawkers, rated the nation's top cage team by the AP, successfully opened the Big Seven season by breezing past the Oklahoma Sooners 71-48 before 3,000 fans at Hoch auditorium Saturday night.
It was the 11th consecutive victory for the undefeated Jayhawkers and was the widest win-margin a KU team has chalked-up against OU since 1936. The score also was a new high between the schools.
The speedy Jayhawkers rushed to a 21-2 lead at the end of the first quarter as Bob Kenney led the way with his deadly set shots. He netted half of his game total of 16 points in the first period.
With four minutes left in the second quarter the Sooners had narrowed the gap to six points with the score 28-22. But a quick setup and a free throw by Kenney, who had stolen the ball, coupled with buckets by Lovellette and Bill Heitholt widened the margin to a 36-25 half time count.
All-American Clyde Lovelle continued his sensational scoring pace as he canned 25 points. His performance leaves him with a 27.1 average which is the best in the nation. He has scored 29 points in 11 games and is hitting 52.3 per cent of his shots.
Defensively KU played well throughout most of the game with close guarding and ball-hawking sparking the Jayhawkers. Kenney
The Kansas offense, however, continued to shift from a one-man effort to more of a balanced attack as nine of the 16 men used by Coach Phog Allen, who cleared the bench, hit the scoring column.
Meriden, Conn.—(U.P.)—Calvin J. Hubbard, perhaps the nation's oldest baseball fan, has lost his patience with the Boston Red Sox. "I've been a Red Sox rooter all my life," Hubbard said on his 100th birthday anniversary, "but I'm tired of waiting for them to win again. From now on, it's the New York Yankees for me."

MOVING soon? LONG
The KU defense prevented the Sooners from working the ball in for close shots, making them rely on hurried long shots. OU's Coach Bruce Drake sent in John Rogers, the long shot artist whose sinker in the last seconds of the second OU-KU game last season edged KU 61-59, but he proved ineffective. He fired six times and swished the nets only once.

KU's greatest weakness was in rebounding, particularly in the third quarter, as the Chamains took 14 offensive - rebound - while KU gathered in only five.
Charlie Hoag, who played several minutes, made his first appearance after seven minutes had elapsed in a period. He replaced Bill Lienhard, who scoredless in the first half but canned 10 points in the last two periods.
Kansas shot 71 times from the field and connected 30 times for 42 per cent compared to only 29 per cent for OU. The Sooners managed to hit only 18 times in 62 attempts.

Waller, OU's tallest player, scored seven of his team's first 12 points and uped four fouls the first half. He fouled out late in the fourth stanza.
