KU Uses Teamwork To Stampede Buffs
By NELSON OBER
Kansas' Jayhawker basketball team put the clincher at least temporarily on third place in the Big Seven race by stampeding the Golden Buffaloes 76 to 60.
The victory left Phog Allen's team with a six won and three lost record in conference play, and gave new life to the Jayhawkers' title hopes.
Kansas cut loose with the best hint of a well balanced scoring attack that they have yet displayed this season. Although Clyde Lovellette came through with 29 points, an only slightly above average night for the towering terror from Terre Haute, his teammates dumped in 20 field goals and seven charity tosses to round out the full 76 Kansas points.
In the first 11 minutes of the initial period the Javahawkers trailed the Coloradans and it looked like it was going to be a rough night for the Kansas group. Colorado achieved its biggest lead of the game with nine minutes gone when they had K.U. at a five point disadvantage, 17 to 12. But a flurry of action by Claude Houchin, Lovellette, and Dean Welles erased that margin while the Buffaloes went scoreless for two minutes.
Coach Allen substituted frequently in the last period of the game with Aubrey Linville, Gene Petersen, Bill Lienhard, Harold England, and Dean Wells seeing much action along with the starters.
Lovellette tied the game on a free throw at 19-all with 11 minutes gone and Houchin put the Jayhawkers into a two-point lead on a pair of gift tosses. The Buffalooes were able to tie the score once more at 21-all with a long shot by forward Kendall Hills. Roger Stokes, Colorado guard, fouled Lovellette and the big boy made the free throw to put Kansas into the lead to stay.
Control of a major portion of the rebounds, both offensive and defensive, was a big contributing factor in Kansas' complete command of the game in the second half.
With an 11 point, 36 to 25, lead at the beginning of the final period the Jayhawkers put on a beautiful show of teamwork which resulted in an 18 point lead eight and one-half minutes into the second frame.
The Buffaloes used two men on Lovelette much of the time when the sophomore was working on offensive. On several occasions they succeeded in bottling him up, but whenever they did he passed the ball out to start the action again.
With eight minutes left in the contest Kansas pushed its lead up to 24 points on three field goals each by Lienhard and Loveillette. The score stood at 63 to 39.
With five minutes remaining to play Lovellette went out of the game on fouls after getting in the way of Wayne Tucker, Colorado guard. Bill Houlgland had fouled out earlier with about nine minutes left.
Inside the two minute mark Coach Allen went down the bench, sending in Guy Mabry, Bill Schaak, Dale Engle, Buddy Bull, and Jerry Borus.
The box score:
The Allen club made 31 of 83 field goal attempts for an evening's percentage of 37. Colorado was close behind in per cent statistics with a 32 mark. The difference in the score came in the fact that Colorado took just 62 shot attempts, of which they connected on 20. Kansas hit 14 out of 18 attempts at the charity line while Colorado had 26 tries and made 20.

"Fantastic impudence," was the professor's mischievous answer. With a grin he added, "Not only is this a contest between teacher and pupil, but also it is a contest between a man and a woman. And you think you can beat me."
Officials: Buck Astle (Emporia State Teachers), and Cliff Ogden Wichita).
Pupil's Fantastic Impudence Results In Ping-Pong Duel
Laws in physics concerning the motion of bodies falling in straight and curved lines will receive a practical demonstration by Dr. Max Dresden, associate professor of physics, and Rita Carl, a student in his Physics III class.
The falling body will be a ping-4 pong ball.
With a laugh the education sophomore replied, "Certainly I think I can beat you."
It all began the first week of this semester when Dr. Dresden discovered that Miss Carl played pingpong. He jokingly suggested a game then, and has mentioned it several times since. Finally, on Monday, he asked for a "definite statement" from Miss Carl as to whether she really thought she could beat him.
Dr. Dresden invited members of the class to attend if they wanted to. "If you bet," he remarked with a twinkle in his eye, "you better bet on me." Arrangements were
Miss Carl said she has played table tennis for a number of years but didn't take it up seriously until the past year. She was runner-up to Doris Then in women's singles then and placed second to Caroline Crosier this year.
In the recent state tournament in Topeka she was a member of the winning women's and mixed doubles teams. She also placed second in women's singles there.
made for the game to be at the Union the first of this week.
Professor Dresden has played table tennis for a number of years, too. "Ever since I was a kid, about 10 or 15," he said.
Although he has played some during the four years he has been at K.U., he played none the past year. However, when he was attending the University of Michigan prior to coming to K.U., he was second in the men's singles tournament.
It should be an interesting game.
Jayhawker 'B's Defeat Emporia B's' 60 To 33
Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawker "B" team defeated Emporia State "B's," 60 to 33, for its second straight win of the season over the young Hornets as a preliminary to the Kansas varsity's game with Colorado Feb. 25 in Hoch auditorium.
Buddy Bull, junior forward, led the balanced Kansas scoring with points on seven field goals, one free throw and Dale Engel each scored ten points.
After trailing the first few minutes, Kansas took an 8 to 6 lead on Bogue's set-up at the seven minute mark and were never headed. After ten minutes, Kansas increased the lead to 13 to 8.
Emporia State rallied to close the gap to 21 to 18 with three minutes remaining in the first half before goals by Engel, Bull, and Bogue gave the young Jayhawkers a 27 to 18 edge at halftime.
In the first three minutes of the second half, Kansas scored three goals to Emporia's two and led 33 to the next minute and 30 seconds found by Lyle Smith, and Bull scoring from the field to run the count to 39 to 22.
Coach Harp's hustling club continued to score from all angles as they led 46 to 24 with nine minutes remaining in the contest. Kansas added seven more points on a pair of goals by Bill Schaake, a goal by Bull, and a free throw by Guy Mabry to gain their biggest margin of the contest, 53 to 25, with 3:30 remaining.
Emporia State rallied for four quick baskets in the next two minutes to cut the margin to 53 to 33.
Kansas caught fire to score seven points in the last minute and 15 seconds to make the final score read, Kansas 60. Emporia State 33. A goal by Schaake, a free throw by Harold Lowe, a goal and charity toss by Mabry, and a free throw by Bogue provided this offensive dislay.
Leading scorers for Emporia were center Kipp and guard Willson each with seven points. They were followed by forward Furman with five points.
Kansas "B" team defeated the Emporia State "B" team 56 to 40 Feb. 4, at Emporia.
Coach Harp said he would like to arrange for another game or two for his club, but no definite plans have been made as yet.
