Jayhawkers Down Creighton, 51 To 35, In Opener
By RAY SOLDAN
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen introduced his 1950-51 basketball squad and a new idea in shooting free throws to a near-capacity crowd in Hoch auditorium Monday night. Both were only moderately successful as Kansas downed the Creighton Bluejays, 51 to 35, in a typically-rragged season opener.
Coach Allen's free throw innovation is to decline them and take the ball out-of-bounds and work for two points instead of one. This perhaps isn't an entirely new idea, but it is at least the first time it has been used around this part of the country in recent years.
Clyde Lovelle, the Jayhawkers' all-America, candidate, led, both teams in scoring with 25 points. Big Clyde hit 12 field goals—nearly all on tip-ins and close-range hook shots—and one free throw. The 6 foot 9 inch center scored 19 of his
points in the first half--all but six of Kansas' halftime total.
six of Kansas maritime total.
The remainder of the K.U. scoring was widely spread. Capt. Jerry Waugh got seven points and played a fine floor game. Sonny Enns scored six points. All 21 men on the Jayhawker roster got in the game, 10 of them joining in the scoring.
"Ick" Miller, Creighton's top offensive threat, was held to seven points by the close guarding of Bill Hougland and his successors. Miller averaged 15 points a game last year.
Center Bill Hayden led the Bluejays in scoring with 11 points.
Kansas, though never gaining an over-whelping load, was in command all the way. It led 9 to 7 at at the quarter, moved to a 25 to 12 halftime advantage, and to 36 to 27 the three-quarter mark.
In instructing players to decline free throws and take the ball out-of-bounds, Coach Allen expects to gain an added scoring punch. Monday's game was hardly a fair test because Kansas wasn't tall enough at range, and spotty passing kept it away from the basket at times.
Twenty-three times K.U. waived free throws and took the ball out-of-bounds. On eight of those occasions Creighton fouled again before Kansas worked the ball in for a shot. So actually K.U. passed up 15 free
throw chances. Had Kansas shot and made all of the free throws, it would have had 15 points. Instead it took the ball out and made six field goals for 12 points.
The Jayhawkers hit 36 per cent of their shots, Creighton only 17 per cent. Lovellette boosted the K.U. average with 12 goals out of 26 shots for 46 per cent. However, like his teammates, he also made 25 shots. Ennah had the best per centage with three hits in four attempts.
The Bluejays hit 15 of 23 free throws, while K.U. made five of eight. Six of the Kansas free throws attempts were the first half of two-shot fouls. The other two came late in the game when Kansas, with 49 points, took the tosses to try to hit the 50-mark.
The K.U. victory evened the all-time series between the schools at
6-6. Creighton had taken the lead in the series with a 59 to 55 upset last year in Omaha. Lovellette has scored 53 points in his personal two-game feud with the Bluejays.
Kansas jugged its lineup throughout the game to experiment with various combinations. One of the most popular, through perhaps not the most effective, had the five football men on the floor together—Dean Wells, Aubrey, Linville, Charlie Hoag, Jack Rodgers, and Bill Schaake. With the crowd chanting "one play, all the way," the football five held Creighton on even terms the four minutes they played as a unit.
Number Of Intramural Basketball Teams Down
Each team lost two men on fouls. Houghland early in the second half with his "ifth" foul, while Lovelle-lette hung on until the middle of the last quarter. Miller and Dave Pederson fouled out for Creighton.
Intramural basketball got under way Monday with a reduced schedule due to the varsity game with Creighton. The schedule calls for games to be played every day, starting at 4:15 p.m. on weekdays and continuing to 9 p.m. Week end games will be played during the afternoon.
The number of team entries dropped to 138 from the 150 teams that competed last year. Don Powell, director of intramural athletics, said this decline was expected in view of the drop in enrollment.
The teams have been divided into five separate leagues, fraternity 'A', "B", and "C", and independent "A" and "B". Fraternity "C" lists the largest number of entries with 36 teams divided into four divisions.
Fraternity "A" (28 teams)
Division I: Triangle, Beta Theta
Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Chi, Phi
Delta Theta, Sigma Chi, and Phi Kappa Sigma.
Division II: Alpha Epsilon Pi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Phi Alpha, Dark Horses, and Phi Kappa Tau.

Division IV: Acacia, Phi Kappa,
Delta Tau Delta, Kappa Sigma, Tau
Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Nu, and
Lambda Chi Alpha.
MYRON "SONNY" ENNS, Jayhawker senior guard, played an outstanding game Monday night against Creighton university to pass the acid test on his comeback in collegiate basketball. He played a good floor game and hit three out of four field goal attempts.
Enns, a hardluck player, twice in the past has been dealt severe blows that have cut short his cage career. Scholastic difficulties ended his 1949 season after five Big Seven games.
An auto accident almost took Sonny's life in the summer of 1949. Long hours of hard practice helped Sonny to a successful comeback with the payoff coming last night. Enns should be a key man in the 1950-51 K.U. picture.

The fall intramural program came to a close with the opening of the basketball season and many new champions were crowned during the three month period. Harold Titus of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was the outstanding individual competitor, winning tennis singles, badminton singles, and playing on the first-place badminton doubles team.
Here's The Roundup For Fall Intramural Program
Alpha Tau Omega moved from the 1949 runner-up in fraternity "A" league football to capture the coveted all-University title and Dix Club won their third straight independent "A" title, though losing to the A.T.O.'s in the finals.
Winners of the four fraternity "A" divisions included Beta Theta Psi, Phi Kappa Psi, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and the A.T.O.'s.
Titus defeated Carl Lewton, an independent, for the badminton singles crown and Ken Medearis, Phi Kappa Psi, also was defeated by the S.A.E. entry for the tennis singles championship.
Jim Beam's Dream Team placed first in the other independent "A" division and lost a possible "A" title when they had to forfeit the play-off game with Dix Club, due to several of their players having to leave town on a class assignment.
Beta Theta Pi won the horseshoe singles trophy when Hugh Kreamer bested Phi Kappa Jerome Tajchman in the plav-off game.
Two Beta teams fought it out for the horseshoe doubles title and the
The badminton doubles team of Titus and Chuck Church took top honors in a hotly contested match with Phi Gamma Delta runner-ups Lou Smith and Woody Davis.
Phi Gamma Delta won fraternity "B" play by defeating a strong Beta team, the second division winner. The Phi Gam's went on to become all-University titlists by beating the Beta "C" team, independent "B" champions.
combination of Wayne Attwood and Neil McNeill won a close match from Hugh Kreamer and Lyn Smith.
Another situation of two men from the same fraternity competing for the championship occurred in Hawaii. John Wellington won from Jack Ransom.
Two foreign students won the tennis doubles title. Karel van der Staay from The Hague, Holland, teamed up with Alfred Sim of Swatow, China, to form an international combination that proved unbeatable. These two defeated a Phi Kappa Psi team of Tom Dulos and Rich Mercer in the final match.
K-S Still Needs Coach,Director
Manhattan, Dec. 5—(U.P.)—Kansas State college still was without a new athletic director and head football coach today following a lengthy session of the athletic council here Monday.
The Council, through its chairman, Eric Tebow, said most of the session was devoted to approving football awards for the 1950 season.
Tebow denied reports that a combination coach and athletic director was being considered in order that a "name" mentor might be acquired to lead the Wildcats up from the football doldrums.
