By BOB NELSON
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
After a slow 10 to 8 first quarter start, Kansas' basketball team shifted into high gear to live up to its high preseason ratings by easily defeating Utah State 56 to 38 for K.U.'s tenth straight home win in Hoech auditorium Wednesday night before a near capacity crowd.
The win was the Jayhawkers second of the year and Utah State's second defeat in six games.
This same ended a two-game home stand for Kansas who now invades the East to tangle with three of the nation's best. They play St. Joseph's (Philadelphia) St. John's university in New York's Madison Square Garden, and Kentucky at Lexington in the next 10 days.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's club showed much more poise in the Utah State victory than it did in Monday night's opener against Creighton.
Early in the game Kansas had trouble hitting close-in shots and threw away the ball on many occasions on bad passes to keep the game close. Big Clyde Lovellette, the Jayhawkers' point making machine, had trouble hitting his shots from under the basket and his mates from outside as well.
After Utah State's only lead in the game, 13 to 12, three minutes into the second quarter, Kansas started a scoring spree that carried it to a 25 to 13 margin at halftime. During this seven minutes, the boys from the West couldn't score a single point. From here on, it was all Kansas.
