KANSAS-MISSOURI GAME AFTER THOUGHTS... The Jayhawkers' starting five continued to burn up the nets with some terrific shooting and team passing.
Like the Nebraska game, K.U.'s first half shooting was remarkable. Against Missouri, Coach Allen's starting five hit 59 per cent of its 29 field goal attempts for 17 goals.
Against Nebraska in the first half, Kansas scored 20 goals out of 32 shots for 63 per cent. Nebraska could hit only 19 per cent and Missouri only 23 per cent of 22 attempts or five goals.
Fo; the entire Nebraska game, Kansas marked up a team average of 47 per cent as compared to Nebraska's 22 per cent. In last night's entire Missouri game, K.U. scored 29 field goals in 55 attempts for a 53 per cent mark. Missouri scored 11 times out of 43 attempts for 25 per cent.
-K.U.-
In K.U.'s first two conference games, the starters have scored 112 of the team's 127 points, or an average of 56 points a game as compared to the entire team's average of 63.5 a game.
Over this stretch, this five has scored 55 field goals out of 103 shots for a combined average of 53 per cent. The big question is can the Jayhawkers continue to shoot like this against Colorado here Saturday night and against Kansas State, the Big Seven favorite to cop the title, here on Monday, Jan. 16?
to cop the title, here on Monday, June 10. If the Allenmen continue this excellent marksmanship, they'll defeat both the Buffaloes and the Wildcats to gain an early 4-0 league margin before hitting the road. Kansas has also played good defensive ball allowing conference opposition only 43.5 points a game.
-KU-
In K.U.'s two conference games, here is the individual Jayhawker scoring; Clyde Lovellette has 44 points; Bob Kenney, 24; Bill Lienhard, 20; Bill Hougland, 14, and captain Jerry Waugh has connected for 10 points.
These above marks indicate a better balanced offense with each player a definite threat everytime the ball travels goalward.
-KU-
Lovellette now has scored 258 points in 11 games for a 23.5 average a game. In the field goal department, the big fellow has scored 118 goals out of a net total of 248 shots for an average of 48 per cent from the field.

WILBUR N. "SPARKY" STALCUP
Mosouri Basketball Coach
Following last night's game with Kansas, Wilbur "Sparky" Staleup, Missouri coach, took time out from studying shot charts and trying to figure out why his Tigers didn't do better to comment: "Boy, what a game that Kansas-Kansas State game should be next Monday. I just can't see any difference between the two clubs.
"Kansas State has more bench strength, but Kansas has its Clyde Lovellette. K.U.'s starting five sure looked good tonight," he added.
This bit of information should be of interest since "Sparky" played Kansas State last Saturday night at Columbia losing by 17 points, 60 to 43. His club (on the road instead of at home) was in Kansas.
beaten by only 15 points last night by Kansas.
"I thought we did a real good job on Lovellette, but his teammates sure hit well in the corner and out in front. As you know, the big fellow scored a total of 68 points on us in two games last year—he got only 18 tonight, which was quite an improvement."
88-Year-Old Stagg Becomes Dean Of The Sports World
New York, Jan. 9. —(U.P.)—With the death of Samuel D. Riddle, the Pennsylvania Sportsman who owned Man O'War, veteran football coach Amos Alonzo Stagg today became the dean of the sports world at 88.
His death was the third of racing's octogenarians in recent years, preceded by those of Col. E. R. Bradley, winner of four Kentucky Derbies, and Col. Matt Winn, the man who "made" America's most famous horse race.
Riddle, at 89, was the eldest of the sports world's seven octogenarians. A horseman all his life, the wealthy lair of Glen Riddle maintained one of the most pretentious horse farms in Kentucky, a shrine to his famous "Big Red."
And his passing left but six famous 80-year-olds still on the sports scene-Stagg, Connie Mack, Pudge Helfefinger, EBarrow, Clark Griffith and Pop Warner.

New York—(U.P.) — Shunning false modesty, Ed Hickey, the little Napoleon of St. Louis university, asserted today that while the rest of the basketball world might rate either Bradley or Kentucky as the top collegiate court team he was claiming that honor for his Billikens.
St. Louis Coach Doesn't Agree With Allen Plan
The 5-foot, 6-inch coach, who had phenomenal success at Creighton before moving on to St. Louis and capturing the national invitation tournament in 1948, also insisted that:
"Maybe others won't agree with me," declared the tiny Nebraskan whose team beat Kentucky and then lost to Bradley in the Sugar Bowl Basketball Tournament, "but I think my team is the best in the country."
1. Unheralded Frank Ramsey of Kentucky, and not big Bill Spivey, is the greatest player in the country.
2. He is against the return of the center jump, raising the basket or widening the foul lanes.
3. There is definite place in basketball for the little man.
Lack of experience was to a great extent the reason for his team's two defeats, at the hands of Bradley and Ohio State, Hickey insisted, "but we are getting that experience all the time."
"We are referred to as a team without stars," he said. "But we have team strength and our organized fast break control game will pay off before the season ends."
Comparing Bradley, his conqueror, and Kentucky, one of his 11 victims, Hickey said that they would play a game "I'd like to see."
"Bradley has great team speed and drive," Hickey analyzed. "They aren't too big but are well coached. If they have a weakness, it is on defense. Kentucky's Ramsey. I believe, is the best player in the country. He's big, shoots from outside, has tremendous speed, is good off the boards and has the touch. Spivey has tremendous power, but I believe Ramsey is a better player."
Concerning changes in the game, such as have been suggested by Phog Allen of Kansas, Hickey held that "we should be for progress—not use candlelight.
"I'm not in sympathy with raising the basket to counteract the tall fellows," Hickey explained. "After all, the tall fellow still will be that much closer than the little man. I'm also lukewarm toward the idea of widening the foul lane. It might help the pros, but I don't believe it would be too satisfactory in college play. As for return of the center jump, I don't see any possibility of that."
