The victory was the second consecutive Big Seven game Colorado has won in the closing seconds. The Buffaloes defeated Missouri Saturday night 41 to 39 as Kendall Hills, high scoring forward, scored the winning goal with four seconds remaining.
With only three seconds left in the regular playing time and the score tied 48 all, a long shot by Claude Houchin, Kansas captain, failed and sent the contest into an overtime session.
In the overtime, neither team committed a foul and few shots were attempted by either club. Colorado controlled the ball during the final 42 seconds waiting to make a last 2 second attempt to win the game. This important shot, which Tucker scored, gave Colorado's Coach "Frosty" Cox another victory over his old teacher, Coach Phog Allen.
Dlg City Lovellette, 6 foot 9 inch pivotman, kept Kansas ahead in the first 30 minutes by scoring 27 of his 30 points as Kansas led 43 to 36.
In the final 10 minutes, Kansas was stone cold collecting only five points. Colorado, paced by Tucker's six points, scored during a time the contest and send it into the overtime period.
With 10 minutes remaining in the second half and K.U. leading 43 to 36, Coach Allen pulled his starting five for some much needed rest. During the three and one-half minutes they were on the bench, Colorado rallied with seven points to tie up the game at 43 all.
During this time, Rodney Bell, 6 foot 10 inch center, hit a goal. Tucker scored three points, and Roger Stokes, junior forward, scored from the field.
Lovellette scored a free throw to give K.U. a 44 to 43 lead with six shots from the basket, and then with a one-hander from the keyhole to give Colorado a one point lead.
Lovelette again put the Jayhawkers ahead 46 to 45 by hitting his twelfth field goal and thirteenth point in the contest.
Kansas elected to take the ball out of bounds in order to have it during the two-minute rule. With a minute and a second, one-hole on a Billie Jean court, on a one-hand push shot from the keyhole to break the deadlock.
With three minutes remaining, Tucker scored a free throw to knot the score at 46 all. A minute later Bell committed his fifth personal foul when he fouled Houchin.
Hills scored for Colorado from the field again to tie the score at 48 all with a minute still to be played in the contest. Kansas controlled the ball eating up time until Houchin took a long shot with three seconds left, only to miss and send the game into the fatal overtime session.
The first half was a see-saw battle with the score being knotted four times. Lovellette got 21 of Kansas' 31 points and kept the Jayhawkers ahead most of the half-time with close shots from underneath the hoop.
Lienhard scored 14 points for Kansas, Bill Houghland, forward, scored the only other field goal besides those scored by Lovellette. Houchin and Jerry Waugh each collected a free throw to round out the Kansas scoring. Lovellette and Houghland scored 44 of the 48 Kansas points.

scoring over ten points. Hills took scoring honors for the Buffaloes with 14 points. Tucker, the games' hero, scored 12 points and Colorado's big center, Bell, followed with 11 points. The boy scored.

Puppy Love Leads Boy, 14,
To 200-Mile Boat Trip
Arbroath, Scotland—(U,P) —A 14-year-old boy who sailed a 50-foot fishing boat alone into the North sea was picked up by a British trawler 200 miles off the British coast.
The Trawler radioed that the boy, John Guthrie, had had nothing to eat since he set out in the fishing smack Girl Jean, two days ago.
The rescue vessel, the Reptonian, reported that it stopped when it noticed that the Girl Jean "did not appear to be behaving normally." The boy was reported to be uninjured. The Reptonian took the Girl Jean, valued at $28,000, in tow.
Police hinted that it was puppy love and not wanderlust which led the young seadog into his dangerous exploit—that he was lonely for a girl in Belgium.
Gardner, Mass. — (U.P.) — A locksmith and police were needed to rescue a small dog who jumped into the rear of a milk truck pawed a latch and locked himself in.
