THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1950

Lovellette Breaks Record As Kansas Wins 76 To 50
Black, now playing professional ball with the Anderson (Ind.) Packers' in the National Basketball Association, still holds one record that Lovelette has not broken as yet. He will be named next ord for one conference game of 33 points by Black against the University of Missouri on Jan. 7. 1943.
Playing approximately 32 minutes, Lovevelte scored on 15 of 30 field goal shots and added six out of seven free throws to break the old record of 34 points established by Gene Petersen the past season.
Kansas won its third straight game and fourth at home this year without a loss. Coach "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers now carry a season record of eight wins and seven losses. So Seattle Kansas has won three while losing one for a first place tie with Nebraska and Kansas State.
The next home game pitches coach Harry Good's high scoring Nebraska Cornhuskers against K.U. Feb. 11. Nebraska defeated Kansas State 65-42 in the first round. John Monday night to throw the league race into the 3-way tie.
In 15 games, Lovellette has scored 326 for a 21.7 average contest. This mark ties the Kansas individual scoring record for one player. Last season, Lovellette still has nine games remaining to better this record.
In his first four conference games, Lovellette has scored 93 points on individual scoring performances of 29, 12, 23 and 23 against Oklahoma, New Mexico and State. State spectively. This gives him a four-game average of 23.3 a game.
Petersen set the old record against Creighton here when Kansas defeated the Bluejays, 79 to 50. Petersen's 15 field goals in that contest, a new record, was tied by Lovellette's record breaking performance.
After a slow start, coach Allen's club picked up steam and led at halftime, 43 to 25, a new first half scoring record for the Jav Hawkers.
John Rennicke, high scoring forward for Coach Jack McClelland's club, hooked up in a scoring duel with Lovellette in the first five minutes of the game. Lovellette got Kansas' first six points and Rennicke provided Drake with their first five points.
The Kansas replacements were five lettermen. This five included Guy Mabry and Buddy Bull, forwards; Petersen, center; Harold England and Lyn Smith, guards. They outscored Drake the remainder of the first half, 12 to 11. England accounted for half of this total on two fielders and two free throws to tie Houglund for second high scoring honors for Kansas with six apiece.
During the first 13 minutes of play, Lovelette scored 17 points. Bill Lienhard scored two points, Jerry Waugh hit a goal and free throw, Bill Hougland scored six points. The other starter, Claude Houchin, failed to score. Bob Kenney added another three points.
Coach Allen cleaned the bench in the second half as he gave his sophomores a chance to play. All 17 players suited-up for the game saw action. Several of this year's sophomore football players, handicapped by reporting late, saw action and gained control. These included Bill Schaake, Dean Wells, Jerry Bogue, and Aubrey Linville.
Rennicke paced the Bulldogs' attack with 18 points on six field goals and six out of seven free throws. Art Olrich, 5 foot 9 inch junior forward,
scored eight points and Don Siefken,
junior postman, tallied nine before
fouling out.
Coach McClelland lost three players on fouls. Centers Seifken and Verle Burgason, junior center, both fouled out in attempting to stop Lovellette's scoring efforts. It was the second straight game in which the opposition has lost two pivotmen on fouls in trying to stop Lovellette's variety of shots. Dan ReDuyter, sophomore guard, also fouled out to hurt the Drake club.
Kansas' next game is Monday;
nation against Colorado's Buffaloes in
Jonesville.

The Spotlight's warmest welcome and congratulation go to new Athletic Director Arthur "Dutch" Lonborg. He's a Jayhawker from way back—one of K.U.'s greatest athletes ever, in fact—who has gone into this big sporting world, made a fine name for himself, and has now returned to give K.U. some of the finest years of his life. The future looks bright for University athletics.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott and the Board of Regents deserve a pat on the back for securing so able a man as Dutch Lonborg.

For the retiring E. C. "Ernie"
Quigley, we say: A job well done.
You have the gratitude of all Jay-
hawkers.
Up Nebraska way, as Ernie Quigley would say, the big win over Kansas State has been overshadowed by the possibility of Football Coach Bill Glassford moving to Pittsburgh. Glassford did give the Pittsburgh job serious consideration. (Pitt is his alma mater), but put Cornhuskus at ease yesterday with a statement that he would stay at Nebraska. It could be that a demonstration at the Glassford home by the N.U. band and some 300 students impressed the Husker grid mentor.
Word has it that Jack Carby isn't going to let a little thing like an academic setback at K.U. stop his collegiate basketball career. He is reportedly looking over a number of other colleges in the Middle West, and—wouldn't you know—one of them is said to be Kansas State.

"It's no use, Mary, he's been like that since he discovered there's NO CIGARETTE HANGOVER when you smoke Philip Morris."
You don't have to smoke like a chimney to discover that PHILIP MORRIS are milder, kinder to your throat. Here's why: PHILIP MORRIS is the one cigarette proved definitely less irritating, definitely milder, than any other leading brand.
NO OTHER CIGARETTE
