Our congratulation to Coach Jack Gardner and his Kansas State Wildcats for the way they completely outplayed and outclassed the Long Island university Blackbirds 85 to 65 last night at Manhattan. Yes, the L.I.U. club couldn't even win in Manhattan last night.
Except for its All-American center, 6-foot 8-inch Sherman White, who bagged more than his limit with 14 goals and nine out of 13 free throws for 37 of L.L.U.'s 65 points, Kansas State kept the Blackbirds eating out of its hand most of the evening.
After a close first half that found the visitors leading most of the way, Kansas State increased its one-point 38 to 37 halftime lead early in the third period and made a runaway of the clash down the home stretch.
Kansas State used its excellent "team strength" to completely snow under Long Island university in the second half. Lew Hitch finished the game with 20 points, Ernie Barrett marked up 14—all but two in the first 20 minutes, and Jack Stone and Bob Rousey finished in a third place tie with 13 each.
The prestige of the Big Seven conference was given a fine boost by the great play of Kansas State and the excellent sportsmanship shown by its players, students, and cage fans.
Certainly K-State will be hard to head off down the stretch in the Big Seven play. As we see things, the Oklahoma game at Norman, Feb. 17, and Kansas at Manhattan on Feb. 24, will give the Gardnermen their toughest competition. Whether the Sooners or Jayhawkers will be strong enough to cope with K-State's great all-around floor and bench strength we can't say. But, if either is to upset the Manhattanites, they'll have to be at their best.
In fact, at the moment, we'd say only Kentucky and maybe Oklahoma A. and M. are stronger than the Wildcats. But certainly no other club in college ball today. Coach Gardner's club now owns a 14-2 season record and 4-0 Big Seven mark.
