Big Clyde Scores 28 As KU Downs Baylor
By CHARLEY BURCH
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
With All-American Clyde Lovellette funneling through 28 points, Kansas successfully opened its 1951-52 basketball campaign with a 57-46 win over Baylor Monday night before 2,500 fans in Hoch auditorium.
The Jayhawkers, who never were headed after taking a 5-4 lead in the early minutes of play, are host to Denver in the second game of the season Saturday night.
Despite Lovellette's 28-point effort, he was pressed for individual scoring honors by Baylor guard Norman Mullins, whose deadly long shots plus a pair of charity flings netted him 24 points.
Phog Allen's five broke from a 28-20 halftime lead to score eight consecutive points to boost the margin to 36-20—their largest lead of the evening.
The Jayhawkers, never threatened seriously by the visiting Golden Bears, unveiled one pleasant surprise in LaVannes Squires, the first Negro to play varsity basketball at KU. The six-foot forward from Wichita pleased the crowd and his coach with his rebounding and ball-hawking. He added a pair of field goals-one of them from considerably beyond the free throw range.
Dean Kelley, six-foot junior, also displayed considerable ball handling talent. He started the game along side of Bill Hougland at the guard position.
Baylor's Ralph Johnson, the Southwest conference's leading scorer last season, was held to 10 points—largely through the defensive efforts of Houghton.
Baylor took the lead in the first 40 seconds with Derrell Davis breaking the scoring ice. Two minutes later Lovelletta scored his first five points to put Kansas ahead 5-4. From then on Kansas stayed out in front with a 16-9 first quarter lead and a 28-20 halftime count.
Davis kept his team in the running
through the first period with five points until Norman Mullins began to *lend* the range on his set shots. He demonstrated the accuracy which made him his team's second top scorer last year.
Coach Bill Henderson's Bears used screen plays considerably but were unable to can many of their shots from close under. They managed, however, to pull within two baskets of the Jayhawkers in the second period with a score of 17-13.
The Golden Bruins tried a full-court press late in the second quarter and continued to use it throughout most of the remainder of the game. It proved only a partial success as Kansas continued to control the ball and the scoring.
Both teams showed signs of firstgame raggedness at times with several miscues resulting.
B. H. Born, 6 feet 9-inch center,
made his first apparance late in the
third quarter when he replaced Colossal Clyde briefly. He scored only one free throw during his play at the post.
At the start of the fourth quarter, Coach Allen had only one starter, Bob Kenney, on the court. The other positions were filled with Everett Dye, Squires, Weston Johnson and Born. He switched his crew around a lot with most of the starters in the game at the end.
Until the last two minutes, Coach Allen had his team break last year's policy of not shooting free throws. KU's cagers scored 21 points from 26 attempts but took the ball out of bounds twice in the dying minutes of the game. Thirteen of the points came in the second half without a miss.
K-State Posts 2nd Win By Downing Ohio State
Manhattan — (U.P.)— Kansas State college's basketball team had another intersection victim on its list today.
The sharpshooting Big Seven conference champions started slow but went by Ohio State midway in the first quarter to clinch the game, 78 to 54, here before 11,000 fans last night.
K-State had a 20-17 margin at the close of the first period and then
turned on the steam to blaze in front the remainder of the game by a margin never less than 15 points.
It was 41-24 at the intermission.
Center Paul Ebert of Ohio was high scorer with 18 points. Forward Jesse Prisock led K-State with 12.
In about one out of five fatal traffic accidents during 1950, interference with vision was reported.
