Cagers Take To Road For 2 Tilts With SMU
The Jayhawkers took to the road Thursday night for the second time this season and are in Dallas for a two-night stand against the Mustangs of Southern Methodist tonight and Saturday night.
The 13-man traveling squad, Coach "Phog" Allen, Dick Harp, assistant coach; Dean Nesmith, trainer, and Wayne Louderback, student manager, left from Kansas City via rail for Dallas. They will make their headquarters at the Hotel Melrose and plan to return following the game Saturday night.
The squad includes John Keller, who has been sidelined with a charley-horse for a month. Keller is believed to be ready for action and will probably be used in this pair of games.
KU's cagers are currently boasting a 68-point game average for three games and have held their opposition to an average of 48 points.
A two-night stand is often a jinx
for a traveling team and might prove such to the Jayhawkers. Assistant coach Harp scouted the Ponies as they lost to Oklahoma A&M 45-50 Tuesday night. He reported that Kansas will have to play top-notch ball to win both games.
Coach Allen plans no changes in his starting lineup tonight with Bill Lienhard, Bob Kenney, Bill Hougland, Dean Kelley and Clyde Lovelete receiving the nod. But he will probably continue to substitute freely.
The remainder of the traveling cagers includes B. H. Born, Larry Davenport, Everett Dye, Bill Heitholt, Weston Johnson, Allen Kelley and Dean Smith.

Kentucky Upset By Minnesota
New York —(U.P.)—The myth of Kentucky's basketball invincibility was shattered Thursday night by a fired-up Minnesota team 'led by a rampaging sophomore center.
In an upset that shook the court world, Minnesota's Golden Gophers came roaring back from a six-point deficit at halftime to beat Kentucky, ranked the No. 1 team in the nation, 61 to 57, Thursday night in Minneapolis.

Sophomore center Ed Kalaafat was the big reason for the surprise. The Gopher pivot man whipped 30 points through the nets, nearly half of his team's total, and helped Minnesota dominate both backboards throughout the furiously-played second half.
There was no doubt that the absence of seven-foot Bill Spivey, Kentucky's All-American center who has a knee injury, was a big help to the Gophers, but it was a brilliant performance by Kalafat nonetheless.
"He faked well and was shifty for a big man," admitted Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp after the defeat.
Rupp observed that "it might have been different" if Spivey had been able to play, and he also opined that, "I thought the officials called them a little too close on us in the first half."
Kentucky had a 33-27 lead at the half but Kalafat's 12 points in the third quarter helped put Minnesota out in front. The teams traded baskets on almost even terms the rest of the way with the Gophers maintaining the upper hand. Kentucky was hampered by the fact that star Frank Ramsey fouled out in the third quarter and Shelby Linville and Cliff Hagan had to
