Jayhawkers Win Fifth Game In Six Starts, 78 To 52
By FORREST MILLER
Kansas warmed up for the Big Seven pre-season tournament by rambling over Springfield (Mass.) college, 78 to 52 in Hoch auditorium Tuesday night.
Coach Phog Allen's quintet, which
held a considerable height advantage on the visitors, led all the way. Clyde Lovellette paced the Jayhawks with 28 points, all secured on field goals during the first three quarters. The starting five was benched at the beginning of the

With Santa Claus' arrival only five days away, let's take a look at a few of the requests we've made to Old Saint Nick for the Jayhawker athletic department.
For gridmaster Jules V. Sikes, we've ordered a 9-1 K.U. football season for 1951. Also, against Oklahoma, a 48-minute game so the Jayhawkers can stop the Sooners' win streak and take the Big Seven title. Then K.U. will meet and defeat Wally Butt's Georgia Bulldogs, 27 to 29, in the 1952 Orange Bowl game.
For Cliff Kimsey, a set of backs good enough to beat out Charlie Hoag and John Konek for halfback spots. Of course, Kimsey's welcomed Christmas presents will be offered special and shortened courses during the spring semester so as to be eligible next fall.
If Santa follows our requests, "Pop" Werner, K.U. line coach, will find four big 6-foot 3-inch 230-pound all-state Pennsylvania tackles (made from the Mike McCormack mold) on his door step Christmas morning seeking a university that can use their services. (Some way or another, these fellows are expected to be eligible by next September).
The biggest request sent Santa was concerning Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's basketball team. First, to beat Kansas State in three straight games this year including a victory over the Wildcats in the 1950 Big Seven pre-season tournament finals.
In Coach Allen's sock should also be the solution for winning this year's conference cage title with a 10-2 record. This solution will also lead Kansas to a N.C.A.A. national championship where they will defeat Kentucky in the finals. Big Clyde Lovellette will outplay Bill Spivey this time and outscore him, 25 to 10.
All joking aside, the coming year should be one of K.U.'s greatest years. At least, here's hoping it is.
At this time, in behalf of Ray Soldan, Marvin Arth, Bill Stratton, Forrest Miller, Alan Marshall, Mona Millikan, and this writer, members of the Daiy Kansan sports staff, we want to wish all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
Especially we want to express our best wishes and thanks to Ted Gray, Kansan makeup man, and Guy Pennock, shop foreman and linotype operator, who have given us much help and assistance in making up our sports pages.
Lovellette hit 14 out of 20 shots for 70 per cent while Captain Jerry Waugh connected on seven of eight shots for $87\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. Kenney hit the bulseye on six of eight aims for 75 per cent. The five starters accounted for 70 of the 78 points and looked impressive after their stunning loss to Kentucky at Lex-
No Fun For Bunn

One school record was set in the contest, Kansas scored 36 field goals to surpass the record of 33 set against Creighton in 1949. The total of 78 points came within one of tying the most-points-a-game record set against Creighton in 1949 and Kansas State in 1950.

Big Clyde's 28 points ran his total for the season to 132 points in 6 contests, enabling him to carry an average of exactly 22 points a game into the Big Seven pre-season tournament which opens in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Wednesday, Dec. 27. Kansas meets the Iowa State Cyclones in the opening game of the tournament.
The victory was Kansas' second triumph over the Maroons in two seasons. Last winter the Jayhawkers defeated John Bunn's crew in Springfield, the birthplace of basketball, 53 to 43. Bunn played for Phog in 1921, and was assistant coach to him for 10 years. His quintet will rest today and will meet Kansas State in the Wildcats' new fieldhouse Thursday night.
Phog's squad returned to the practice of waiving free throws that they had abandoned in the Kentucky game. Phog had the team refuse 17 free throws during the first three quarters, and during the final canto they could only connect on three of eight charities.
Lovellette dunked two quick goals to shoot the hosts into a 4 to 0 lead before John Burke, the Maroons' leading scorer, tallied the first of his 15 points. Each of the five Kansas starters contributed to the first quarter scoring that found K.U. ahead 22 to 10. Lovellette made 10 points in the first seven minutes.
He whipped in another 10 points during the second period while Waugh was hitting twice from the field. Bill Housland and Bob Kenney each sank a goal to put K.U. ahead at the half 40 to 27.
Waugh and Lovellette singed the nets for eight points apiece during the third stanza as the Allenmen enjoyed their highest scoring session of the evening. The third quarter ended 64 to 36 and Kenney popped in two points during the opening seconds of the fourth period to put K.U. ahead 66 to 36, its biggest lead of the evening. After Jim Pelcher added two points to the Springfield score, Kenney dropped in another bucket. Francis Enright hit from the charity line to make the score 68 to 39, an exact reverse of the K.U.-Kentucky score.
