Allen's Jayhawkers Upset Oklahoma Aggies,37-27
By BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Stillwater, Okla, March 11—A flock of keyed-up Jayhawkers finished its 1951 cage schedule in a blaze of glory by turning in one of the season's major collegiate upsets in upending the nation's No.2 team, Oklahoma A. and M.'s Aggies, 37 to 27 here Saturday night.
The victory was sweet revenge for an earlier 41 to 46 loss to Hank Iba's Aggie club at Lawrence and regained for Kansas much of its lost national prestige.
By downing the Missouri Valley's 1951 conference champions, K.U. finished with 16 victories against eight defeats for its most successful season record since the 1946 season which produced a 19-2 mark and a 10-0 record in the old Big Six standings.
The loss was indeed a bitter one
for the Ibames. It marked their third loss over the final five-game route and second loss in the final three home starts. It also marked the Aggies' 12th loss against 141 victories here in Gallagher hall since the present fieldhouse has been in us. or in 12 home seasons.
For K.U.'s Coach F.C. "Phog" Allen, the victory was his first over "The Iron Duke" since 1943. He had suffered seven straight setbacks

BOB KENNEY played one of his finest games against the Oklahoma Aggies Saturday night as the Jayhawkers upset the nation's No. 2 team, 37 to 27, at Stillwater.
The Winfield battler hit five goals in nine attempts and played a great defensive game as well. He was credited with a pair or rebounds and assists but his leadership as captain on the court was unmeasurable and an all-important item leading to K.U.'s impressive victory.
J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
**POOR** Paul was having a fowl time because his down was up. All the chicks made wise quacks about his upswept hairo until his shellmate suggested he duck over to the drugstore. "Waddle I do?" he asked. "Get Wildroot Cream-Oil!" the druggist answered. "Non-alcoholic. Made with soothing lanolin. Grooms your hair neatly and naturally without that plastered-down look. Removes ugly ducklings — i mean ugly dandruff! Helps pass the fingernail test!" Now he's engaged—he's lovely—he uses ponds—to swim in! (Isn't he decoy one?) So water you waiting for?

with Kansas holding a 17 to 13 edge in all games played dating back to 1926.
Still more important to the Aggies was the margin of defeat on their home floor—the 10 points being the second largest total ever dealt out in Gallagher hall. The big question in the minds of hometown fans was whether has happened now. Aggies during the final five games of the season?"
Kansas probably played its best game of the year against the Aggies—at least over a full 40-minute grind—holding them to an unbelievable low total of 27 points. This was nine points less than their previous low of 36 scored against California in an early West coast game.
From the start, it was evident that the Jayhawkers were out to win this game for their great coach, "Phog" Allen, who received pre-game honors from Coach Iba and the Aggie fans for his untiring efforts to make basketball a better game through 41 years of coaching the great American sport.
Kansas jumped into a 10 to 0 lead with only 4:05 gone and the Aggies could never narrow the gap to less than five points during the next 36 minutes.
Clyde Lovellette, who scored only 10 points but played one of his greatest defensive and rebounding games, hit the hoop for three quick close-in goals to go with Charlie Hoag's pair of beautiful layups for the early margin.
Lovelletta added two more goals to close out his night's scoring and give Kansas a 14 to 6 edge at the quarter

Bob Kenney's three timely goals and a basket by Dean Kelley pushed K.U. out in front, 22 to 12, at half-time. Oklahoma A. and M. could score only five goals during the first half and added two free throws for its 12-point total.
The Cowpokes outscored Kansas 9 to 6 during the third quarter to
reduce the margin to 28 to 21. Loose ball handling got KU, in trouble early in the fourth quarter, but they recovered in time to stop the Aggies at a 30 to 25 score with 6:45 remaining in the game.
Kansas did a great job of handling the ball during the final three minutes as K.U. protected its 34 to 27 margin. K.U. took the ball-out-of-bounds 12 times on fouls during this time and kept possession almost all the remaining way.
