KU Places Third As K-State Wins Big 7 Tourney
Bv BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Kansas, who entered the fifth annual Big Seven pre-season basketball tournament as the favorite, finished third by defeating Nebraska 63 to 47 while underrated Kansas State defeated the guest Minnesota Gophers 70 to 62 to keep the title in the Big Seven family.
The tourney, which was played in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium on Dec. 27. 28, 29. and 30. ranked as the greatest ever held with attendance and scoring records broken in nearly every game.
Kansas State's well earned title 1,
its second in four years and the first
school to become a two-time winner.
The Wildcats won the 1947 title.
The K-State championship also
marked the fourth straight year that
the title remained in conference
hands.
For the second straight year, Kansas City, cage fans were treated to Big Ten conference basketball that produced thrilling individual and team play.
Oshoeh "Ozzie" Cowles' invited Minnesota club presented two of the finest players ever to appear in the meet in center Maynard Johnson and guard Myer "Whitey" Skoog. Both of these players landed first team all-tournament berths.
Last year Michigan presented a pair of the Big Ten's finest cagers in forward Mack Suprunowicz and center Leo Vanderkuy, but could finish no higher than fifth in the meet.

Officiates: Cliff Ogden (Wichita) and Harold Hull (Maryville Teachers).
Minnesota, paced by Johnson and Skokow who scored 75 and 56 points respectively in three games, upset Kansas in the second round 62 to 51. This Jayhawker setback prevented what many fans had hoped would be a highly competitive Kansas State-Kansas clash in the finals.
By virtue of its 55 to 53 win over Oklahoma, its one-sided 72 to 53 win over Nebraska, and its eight-point 79 to 62 championship victory over Minnesota, Coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats move into the Big Seven conference race as the favorite and team to beat by the six member schools.
For individual tournament honors, big Catossal Clyde Lovellette stole the show for the second straight year. But not without competition from Minnesota's Johnson, who broke about the only records that Lovelletta still has left to shoot at in his three remaining tournament games next year. Johnson's records included a single game high of 38 points and 15 goals in a single game.
Included among Lovellette's newly written records are 82 points in a single meet (old mark 64 jointly
held by Oklahoma's Gerald Tucker and Lovellette), and most points in a tournament career with 146 as compared to the old mark of 94 set by Bill Waters of Oklahoma in 11 games through the 1946-47-48-49 seasons. Lovellette set his mark in six games and still has three left to rewrite his marks.
The second night of tournament play produced a pair of thrillers. Kansas State's Jim Iverson scored the winning basket to defeat Oklahoma 55 to 53 with only three seconds remaining for the tournament's most exciting single play. This game was probably the best played and hardest fought of the 12 tourney games.
In the second half of this doubleheader, Nebraska managed to outlast a last minute Missouri rally to down the Tigers 54 to 52.
Colorado, who lost three straight under its new coogh, H. B. "Bobe" Lee, had defensive troubles but managed to produce the only four players on a single club to top the 30-point mark.
Its balanced attack offered senior guards Wayne Tucker (40) and Roger Stokes (39), and sophomores forward Frank Gampert (33) and center Kenny Koop (32) to average 58.7 points a game.
KANSAS 75. IOWA STATE 51 Kansas easily defeated the Iowa State Cyclones 75 to 51 in the tournament opener on Dec. 27, as Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen used his entire 15-man squad.
As usual, Clivey Lovellle easily took scoring honors with 30 points on 14 goals out of 29 shots and scored two out of three charity losses. This 30-point total set a new single game tournament (old record 28) mark but was broken in the following game by Minnesota's Johnson who scored 28 points on 15 goals and eight free throws.
Jerry Waugh scored seven goals in 13 field goal attempts for 14 points. Bill Hougland connected for five goal in nine shots for 10 points while Bill Lienhard hit 4 of 6 shots for another eight points. Bob Kenney scored three points to round out the starters' 65-point total.
Snip, Snip, Snip Away The Money Goes
Richmond, Va—(O,P)—Walter N. Grove shocked the waiters customers in his barber shop today by announcing that—if taxes go up—he'll have to boost the price on his 25 cent haircut.
"It looks like taxes are going to make me go up a little." Grove mourned as he clicked his shears, losing money with every snip.
"Compared to the usual rate, I figure I lose 60 cents every time I give a haircut. But I'm happy and my customers are happy. So why should I worry? But I am getting pinched a little."
And the time-worn sign proclaiming "shave, haircut, shampoo, massage-$1" may come down from the wall, he said, after 20 years of duty.
He hopped in an auto, police said, hit a truck while going the wrong way on a one-way street, and left the scene of the accident; backed into a tree and sidedswiped three parked autoobiles; lost control of a turbofan truck; pushed into another auto, knocking it into a taxi-cab.
Philadelphia—(U.P.)—John Haig, 19,
admitted that he had never driven a car before. Police were inclined to
believe him.
Maybe A Lesson Would Help
The automobile he was "driving". Haig told police, belongs to his boss.

In the battle of individual scoring honors Clyde Lovellette outscored the Gophers Maynard Johnson 24 to 23, but KU's overall support wasn't as good and Minnesota's balanced attack killed the Jayhawkers' title bones with a 62 to 51 victory.
Lovellette hit 11 of 25 field goal attempts but only forward Bob Kenny could attain the two-column scoring figures with a 12 point output, Kansas guards Jerry Waugh and Bill Hoglan added six and five points respectively, but it wasn't enough to match the accurate shooting and hard-fighting Gophers who out-hustled KU, most of the way.
Minnesota hit 45 per cent from the field by scoring on 22 out of 49 attempts. Kansas could hit only 24 out of 77 attempts for 31 per cent.
In the second half, Minnesota took only sure-shots to control the ball
After a pair of Lovellette's book shots tied the score at 32-all at the start of the second half, Kansas dropped behind and trailed the Gophers from one to 11 points throughout the remaining 18 minutes.
