PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY. MARCH 13, 1950 Kansas Loses To OU 52 To 49, In Overtime By BOB NELSON The University of Oklahoma Sooners used a stifling zone defense to check the Jayhawkers' high scoring offense to 20 points in the second half to edge past Kansas 52 to 49 in an overtime March 11, at Norman, Okla., and throw the final Big Seven standings into a three-way tie. Kansas, Kansas State, and Nebraska each finished with eight wins and four losses as Kansas State won a close 63 to 60 contest from Nebraska at Manhattan the same night thus completing one of the most hectic conference races of all-time. Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen, the Jayhawkers' perennial coaching wizard, completed one of his most successful cage seasons in 33 years. This year's team was his 21st club to win or share championships in two conferences, the Missouri Valley and Big Six, which preceded the recently formed Big Seven. The Jayhawkers' 1950 conference record is even more impressive when considered that Kansas finished in a last place tie last season with Iowa State with a 3-9 record. This year was a rebuilding year for Coat Allen's sophomoric club that wasn't expected to pay-off until the 1951 season. In compiling an 8-4 record in conference play, Kansas' four setbacks were by a mere total of 11 points, including a pair of overtime losses to Colorado and Oklahoma by two and three points respectively. Much praise is due the Kansas players for completing the season in a blaze of glory. After being all but counted out at the start of the conference race, the Jayhawkers put on a terrific homestretch drive to win four of their last five conference starts. On the basis of this impressive record, the fifth district selection committee selected Kansas to represent the Big Seven in the fifth district N.C.A.A. play-off game with Bradley university, Missouri Valley conference champion, for the district's berth in the western N.C.A.A. play-offs.

Jerry Waugh's sixth goal, a 20-foot one hander, tied the score at 46-all with only ten seconds remaining and sent the contest into an overtime period. Walter Morris and Paul Merchant, a pair of senior guards, put on a great show in the overtime to close out their careers in victory and thus give the Sooners a 6-6 record in conference play. In the first minute of the overtime, Morris scored four points to give the Sooners a 50 to 46 lead and the margin of victory. He connected on two free throws and scored a set-up on a fast break with Merchant setting up the play with some fancy passing. With the two-minute rule in effect, the Sooners froze the ball most of the remaining time with Morris adding a charity toss to run the score to 15 to 46 with 1:50 remaining. In the final minute and ten seconds, Kansas added three free throws while Oklahoma could add only one, by Jack Hughes to bring the final score to 52 to 49. Bill Lienhard, sophomore push-shot artist, connected on a one-hander from the corner after 25 seconds to give Kansas a lead which they held for 26 minutes until Sooner captain Paul Merchant hit a free throw to knot the score at 30-all. Kansas led 12 to 1 after 6:25 and looked to be on the road to a one-sided victory as Coach Bruce Drake's club had trouble locating the hoop. Lienhard's basket and goals by Waugh and Bill Hougland, a free throw by Claude Houchin, and Clyde Lovellette's right hand hook shot gave K.U. a 9 to 0 lead. Merchant's free throw at the 6:10 mark provided the Sooners their first point as Lienhard added three points on a goal and free throw on the same play. Midway through the first half, Kansas led 16 to 6. Oklahoma cut the margin down to five points in the next minute and 25 seconds as Merchant scored on a long set-shot and Wayne Glasgow, the game's top scorer with 15 points, added a goal and free throw. Harold England, Kansas senior forward, scored five points on a pair of goals and a free throw within a minute and 20 seconds while Glasgow and big Bill Waters scored a goal to leave Kansas out in front, 21 to 14, with 7.05 remaining in the first half. After Lovellette added a free throw, the remaining three minutes found Oklahoma scoring three goals with Glasgow connecting on a tip, and long set-sets by Merchant and Wayne Speegle. Lienhard scored his third goal of the half and Waugh, who tied with Lienhard for K.U. scoring honors with 13 points, scored on a right-hand push-shot from behind the sey-hole with ten seconds remaining to give Kansas a 26 to 20 margin at half-time. After 2:50 had been played in the second half, Kansas' lead was cut to a 28 to 26 margin and there was never more than three points separating the two teams the remainder of the way. Speegle's set-up with 6:45 played in the second half gave the Sooners their first lead at 32 to 30. Lienhard hit three beautiful onehand push shots from the corner in the next minute and one-half to match Speegle's set-up and free throw as Kansas led 36 to 35 with 9:15 played. The following minute saw Oklahoma take a 39 to 38 lead as Merchant and Morris scored goals for the Sooners and Waugh hit from the keyhole. Goals by Waugh and Lovellette's second goal gave K.U. a 42 to 39 margin. Merchant followed with a long set-shot to cut the margin to one point with 6:35 remaining.
