KU Closes Home Season With WinOverI-State
BY ALAN MARSHALL
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
With All-American Clyde Lovellette hitting at better than a point-a-minute pace, the Kansas Jayhawkers coasted to an easy 70 to 64 victory over the Cyclones of Iowa State in a game played Wednesday night in Hoch auditorium. The victory gave Kansas a second place tie with Missouri in final Big Seven standings, each with an 8-4 record. The Tigers had little trouble stopping Nebraska 68 to 57 at Columbia Wednesday night.

The 6-foot nine-inch Kansas center broke his own conference scoring mark of 277 points when he converted a free toss with the second half three minutes old. The new mark now stands at a mighty 286, or an average of 23.8 points per game.
The second mark to fall by the wavies was held by Charlie "The Hawk" Black, another KU. All-American, who played for the Allenmen during the 1942, 1943, and 1946, and 1947 seasons. Black held the KU. scoring title of 1082 points in 82 games over the four year span. KU's latest All-American
Although Lovellette left the game on personal fouls with 10 minutes and 40 seconds remaining, he set two records by scoring 34 points on 13 field goals and eight out of 10 charity tosses.

N.C.A.A. Has Tough Time Filling Field

New York (U.P.)—Despite the addition of the Oklahoma Aggies as the eighth team, the N.C.A.A. basketball tournament was running into unexpected difficulty today in filling out its 16-team field.
The trouble was being experienced in the Eastern section, where the announcement of the four "members at large" teams, promised for yesterday, was now promised for today.
The four teams, which must not be members of a major conference, are being picked by a five-man selection committee headed by Asa S. Bushnell. A conference telephone call among the members was rigged up yesterday, but the smooth agreement expected didn't materialize.
One spokesman said playoffs might have to be used as a last resort.
St. John's (22-3), the nation's top-ranking independent team, was believed certain of one spot but the other three were wide open among Villanova, Cincinnati, Holy Cross, Louisville, and Lasalle — perhaps others. St. John's, Cincinnati, and Lasalle are entered in the N.I.T.
fractured that one by a mere point,
but he has an entire season left.
Lovelletta's average of 23.4 overall this year is far beyond Black's career average of 13.2. With only one game left this year, that against Oklahoma A. and M. at Stillwater Saturday, Colossal Cody's average couldn't vary more than a full point even if he were held scoreless. His Big Seven mark of 23.8 is safe until next season.
Although the final score might indicate a fairly close game, actually the Jayhawks had little trouble in gaining their sixth straight victory over Chick Sutherland's Cyclones. Leading at the half-way mark 37 to 28, the Kansans' really poured it on after intermission and with 8:10 left were on the long end of a 64 to 42 score.
Coach Phog Allen cleared the bench during the final moments and then it was that the Cyclones-pulled within a respectable distance. By the time Allen answered the crowd's chant of "We Want Murphy" (referring to Pat Murphy, KU, reserve guard) the game was well under control. The fans cheered mightly as Murphy committed two fouls.
Frank Hess led the Cyclone scoring with 18 points on seven from the field and four out of six at the charity line. Not far behind came Gay Anderson, Iowa State forward, with a total of 14.
grabbing four offensive rebounds and nine more off his own boards.
All of the Kansas starters performed in excellent fashion. Charlie Hoag, sophomore guard, hit his season high of ten points with five fielders. The K.U. football star was a phantom on the floor, stealing passes, starting fast breaks, and generally running rings around his opposing guard.
Bill Lienhard hit three field goals and Bob Kenney notched two more. Hustling Bill Hougland, always stingy with his shots, hit one out of four field goal attempts besides
Iowa State led only once during the entire 40 minutes when Gay Anderson took the opening tip from Stephanie Helmholtz and a 2 to 0 advantage. Lovette soon tied it up with a swishing hook shot, and with three minutes gone the Jayhawks took over the lead on Hong's 12-foot push shot.
The mastodonic postman hit four more fielders and added a free throw while his mates were busy holding the invaders to four points. At the 9:30 mark Kansas held a 13 to 8 margin which suddenly zoomed to 21 to 10 on shots by Kenney and Lovellet. From then on it was all Kansas, as they slowly took the wind out of the Cyclone.
The Jayhawks owned a 37 to 28 bargain at half-time, the majority of it coming from Lovelette's 23 points. That quickly increased to monumental proportions and with about ten minutes left, Phog Allen began clearing the bench of its 19 occupants. Sutherland also cleared the Cyclone bench of its 12 occupants, but for entirely different reasons.
Kansas completely out-rebounded and out-shot the hapless Staters, who ended their conference season with a three and nine mark. The Jayhawkers gathered in 13 offensive and 27 defensive rebounds to nine and 21 for the Cyclones, for totals of 40 and 30 respectively. The Allenmen connected on 29 out of 71
