Phog Huffs, KU Puffs, Refs Muff----But Hawks Score Enuff
By RAY SOLDAN
Ames, Iowa—Kansas is back in the running for the Big Seven title today after a wild weekend which saw:
(1) The Jayhawkers squeeze by Iowa State at Ames, 56 to 54.
(2) Oklahoma upset the league leading Kansas State Wildcats at Norman, 49 to 46.
(5) Coach Allen registered his 400th conference victory.
(3) K.U. Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen become involved in a shouting-showing match with the Iowa State trainer and several fans.
(4) And the officials foul up the K.U.-I.S. game with inconsistent officiating.
Lovellette fouled out with 10:32 left in the game, and the Jayhawkers holding only a two-point margin, 40 to 38. But the Kansans rose to the occasion to bang home six-consecutive shots, and then weathered a closing Cyclone rally which brought the Staters from 56 to 44 to 56 to 54.
The final I.S. basket came with 49 seconds remaining. The Jayhawkers then hung onto the ball until the final seconds when a pair of Iowaans double-teamed Bob Kenney, and wrestled the ball away from him—and fouled him, although a shot was never given Bob.
Kansas now stands a game behind the Wildmen of Manhattan. A K.U.victory over Oklahoma tonight would cut a half game off the K-State lead, and set the stage for a Saturday championship clash in the new Argie fieldhouse.
Saturday's victory over Iowa State was particularly important for the Jayhawkers. They proved to themselves that they could play good ball without the services of ace scorer Clyde Loveillette. And for the first time this season, with the possible exception of the St. John's game, they showed that they had "gruts" in the clutch.
Three Cyclone players scurried down the court—with only Bill Lienhard between them and the goal—for a desperation shot. George Hess pumped from five-feet out just at the final buzzer, but it fell off the front of the rim. Whether it would have counted had it gone in is questionable, since one referee had indicated a foul when Kenaey was clubbed down and the ball stolen.

KENNEY Kansas
Following the altercation, three policemen were called in to calm a group of Cyclone fans directly behind the Kansas bench. One of whom gave Coach Allen an unfriendly shove in the back with both hands. The rest of the game was played without incident, except for the football pile-ups and loose elbows which the refs permitted on the playing floor.
Kenney, who hustled hard all the way, and Lovellette tied for scoring honors for the Jayhawkers. Each collected six fielders and a free toss for 13 points. Lienhard hit 12. Sway Wilhelmel and Gay Anderson both topped the Kansans in scoring with 18 and 14 points respectively.
The roaring Armory crowd of 6,500 got more than just a red-hot basketball game. A brief dispute between Coach Allen and Iowa State Trainer Beryl Taylor, fired the crowd to a high pitch three minutes before halftime.
Taylor leaped to his feet to complain about a foul called on a State player—one of the many times he was up and shouting during the game. Coach Allen left the Kansas bench to calm him down. And the words began. Allen, Taylor, I.S. Coach Chick Sutherland, and I.S. Publicity man Harry Burrell were all jostling around trying to get the thing settled, so just what did happen—and who did push whom—isn't clear.
Several times during the game
the Jayhawkers threatened to make a run-away, but the Cyclones always came back with a rally of their own. Kansas moved in front 14 to 6 and expanded it to 24 to 15 before I.S. began to draw up. Shortly following the sideline scuffle, Anderson hit a setup for the Cyclones to tie the game at 26-all. A long shot by Bill Houland gave Kansas a 28 to 26 lead at halftime.
The Jayhawkers immediately went to work in the second half to build up a 38 to 30 margin, but Iowa State again refused to be kayoed, and pulled up at 40 to 38 when Lovellette fouled out at the 10-minute mark.
John Keller replaced Big Clyde, and with the Garden City Juco transfer turning in an excellent job of handling and passing the ball off the post, Kansas again pulled away. It was at this time that Kansas plunked six-straight shots through the netting.
Hougland started it with a 20-footer, Dean Kelley hit from the side, and Kenney hit another 20-footer. Iowa State squeezed in two free throws—the Cyclones hit 22 of 27 in the game. Then Lienhard looped in a long one-hander, Hoag

Officials: Cliff Ogden (Kansas City), and John Lloyd (Denver). Place: Hoch auditorium. Time: 7:30 tonight. Radio broadcasts: Stations WREN, Topeka (Max Falkenstien), and WHB. Kansas City, Mo., (Larry Ray).
Kansas will meet the nation's upset kings, Bruce Drake's Oklahoma Sooners, tonight at 7:30 in Hoch auditorium with K.U. hoping to snap a two-game home losing streak and also return to the thick of the Big Seven title picture.
Tonight's game is a "must" for K.U. and matches the conference's two tallest players, 6-foot 9-inch Clyde Lovellette of Kansas and Marcus Freiberger, the Sooners' 6-foot 11-inch star.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers need a victory over Oklahoma tonight to set the stage for their return engagement with Kansas State at Manhattan Saturday night. Kansas State now owns a 7-1 conference record and Kansas has a 6-2 mark.
Victories over Oklahoma and Kansas State by the Allenmen would push K.U. ahead in the conference standings with an 8-2 record as compared to Kansas State's 7-2 mark.
Drake's Sooners have been season record spoilers all year. The Oklahoma club owns upset victories all along its schedule that now finds O.U. with a 12-7 season mark.
These include a 48 to 43 win over C.C.N.Y., N.C.A.A. and N.I.T. champs last year; a 44 to 40 win at Norman over Hank Iba's No. 2 ranked Oklahoma Aggies, and Saturday's 49 to 46 victory at Norman
Oklahoma also played Oklahoma A. and M, a 45 to 48 game at Stillwater which is quite an accomplishment in itself. On the other hand, O.U. has played poor ball on several occasions and must be ranked as a hot-and-cold club that is capable of beating any team on a given night if they are "on."

over Kansas State's No. 3 ranked Wildcats.
Kansas will be meeting the nation's No. 3 defensive club tonight as the Sooners have limited 19 opponents to a 46.1 average. Drake's club has ranked among the top three teams in the defense department since early in the season. Kansas is presently listed in the 12th spot in this department.
Two important duels will be continued tonight. One involves Coaches Drake and Allen and the other the league's high scoring skyscrapers, Lovellette and Freiberger.

"Phog" Allen, who will be after his 500th victory tonight as a K.U. basketball coach over a 34-year span, leads Coach Drake 14 to 13 (all games played) in victories in their 13-year old personal coaching rivalry.
This burst lifted the Jayhawkers to a 52 to 44 lead, with six-minutes. left. They increased the margin to 12 points on goals by Kenney and Keller. The latter was on a setup from an out-of-bounds play after refusing a free toss. Keller's man lined up on the wrong side, and Hoag hit the breaking Keller with a perfect pass. This goal ended the Jayhawker scoring with still four minutes to
Kansas' Dean of American basketball coaches however trails Drake 11 to 12 in conference games and needs a victory tonight to balance the Big Seven records at 12-all.
Lovellette enters tonight's game with a season scoring mark of 435 points for a 19-game average of 22.9 points a game.
The big fellow is only 20 points away from a two-year career mark of 1,000 points. With the above 20-point total, he can become one of the few players ever to score 1,000 points in a sophomore and junior year.
Lovellett scored 26 points to lead K.U. to a 58 to 52 victory over Oklahoma at Norman, earlier this year. Oklahoma's Freiberger is also a high scoreer capable of climbing above the 20-point mark in any game.
