Lovellette's Counter Defeats St. John's, 52 To 51
Big Clyde Lovellette's tip-in goal with 15 seconds remaining provided Kansas with a well deserved and hard-earned 52 to 51 victory over St. John's university Tuesday night in New York's Madison Square Garden.
The winning basket was scored after St. John's had taken its first lead in the second half, 51 to 50, on forward Frank Giancontieri's almost victorious goal with only 39 seconds left in the game.
With time running out and trailing by one point, Kansas elected to take the ball out of bounds on a foul shot and proceeded to calmly score the needed two points to win.
Coach F. C. Allen's Jayhawkers held an apparently comfortable and safe lead until the final minutes of the game. St. John's all-court press bothered K.U. and caused the Jayhawkers to lose the ball on several occasions. These costly mistakes almost proved fatal.
The Redmen used a zone defense to check "Colossal" Clyde Lovellette, who entered the game with a 25 points plus average. Even with a three-man collapsing zone defense on big Lovellette, he managed to manufacture five field goals and five out of five charity tosses for 15 points.
Coach Allen continued his innovation of waiving free throws to keep possession of the ball. This strategy seemed to pay off as the Big Seven co-champions controlled the play most of the time.
With K.U. leading 40 to 33 in the second half, the Jayhawkers took some free throws, but elected to keep possession of the ball most of the time on foul shots.
Bob "Zeke" Zawoluk, St. John's great 6-foot-6 inch center, couldn't cope with Lovelette on rebounds and the taller Jayhawkers controlled both backboards along with their ball control tactics.
LIENHARD Kansas
KENNEY Kansas
In the duel of all-American centers, Zawoluk out-scored Lovellette 19 to 15 as the K.U. center passed off the post to his forward teammates Bob Kenney and Bill Lienhard who scored 12 and 11 points respectively.
respectively.
Lovellette now has a total of 94 points in Kansas' four straight wins for an average of 23.5 points a game. His 15-point total against the Redmen is only his 10th game out of 29 collegiate contests that he has failed to score 20 or more points.
Zawoluk, who scored 588 points in 29 games as a sophomore last year (averaged 20.3 as compared to Lovellette's 545 and 21.8), now has 120 points in five games for an even 24 point average.
The only other St. John's player to score in the two figure column was forward Jack McMahon, who accounted for 10 points.

In Dec. 1942, KU.'s great "Iron Five" team had a cold night but still won 31 to 30 over previous unbeaten Fordham.
In the Jayhawkers' last two appearances in Madison Square Garden, they have scored two straight victories by one-point margins in the final seconds to smash their opponents' unbeaten records in each case.
Ray Evans, who was later named first string all-American guard by the Helms Foundation for the second straight year, was the hero as he intercepted a pass and dribbed the length of the court for the game winning goal with 30 seconds remaining.

Kansas, like Missouri, who defeated City College of New York 54 to 37 last Saturday, showed eastern cage fans the best defense thrown at high-scoring St. John's in more than two years.
Coach Allen's club accomplished something that no team has been able to do against St. John's in the last 20 games, hold them under 62 points. In fact, no team has held the Redmen to a total as low as 51 points in their last 23 games.
Kansas' ball-control has helped them mold an outstanding 41.2 average defensive mark through its first four victories.
Kansas has averaged 54.8 points a game with Lovellie scoring 43 per cent of the 219 total points.
In the St. John's game, KU's offense was by far the best balanced of the year and gave indications that Kenney, Lienhard, and guards Bill Houland and Jerry Waugh will hit from the outside as Lovellette gets boxed-up in the middle.
NEXT COMES KENTUCKY, the nation's top college basketball team.
Kansas will remain in New York until Friday morning when they will fly to Cincinnati and then take a bus to Lexington.
KU-Kentucky Game To Be Broadcast
Saturday's basketball game matching Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's undefeated Jayhawkers and the University of Kentucky will be broadcast at 7:55 p.m. over radio station WHB, Kansas City, Mo., it was announced Monday at the Downtown Quarterback club's annual K.U. football banquet.
Roy Edwards, member of the Greater Kansas City alumni association, said Larry Ray had notified him that he would be in Lexington, Ky., to describe this important game play-by-play.
Mr. Ray, who is in St. Petersburg, Fla., attending the major leagues' annual baseball meeting, will stop at Lexington on his return trip to Kansas.
