Bill Hougland, 6 foot 4 inch guard and forward, led Jayhawkier scoring in the Nebraska game with 15 points. Sophomore Hougland, known as the "jumping jack from Beloit," kept Kansas in the game with his long set shots.
The story appearing below was carried in the Kansas City Times today and is reprinted here in the interest of factual reporting of scientific accuracy in measurement.
"Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 10—To settle once and for all, the question of the correct height of Clyde Lovellette, Kansas basketball center, Coach Phog Allen of K.U. turned the measuring stick over to the Nebraska officials this morning.
"The situation arose when Jack Gardner coach at Kansas State said Sunday that he would guess that Lovellette is about 7 feet 1 inch, instead of 6-feet-9 as K.U. lists the center.
"Allen turned Lovellette over to Harry Good, Nebraska head coach, who measured the Jayhawker in the presence of other witnesses and found him to be 6 feet $ 8 \frac{1}{2} $ inches in height. The measuring was done in the same spot used to gauge the Nebraska squad.
"This boy wonder coaching marvel from Manhattan, Kan," said Dr. Allen after the measuring session, has developed an uncanny ability in taking old-fashioned and ineligible players and miraculously turning them into young amateurish college grinds.
"The majority of his starting line-up are transfer students from other colleges or athletic organizations. If records are correct, Lewis R. Hitch of Griggsville, Ill., is a transfer student from Culver-Stockton, Canton, Mo., and is 6 feet 8 inches tall, just a half-inch shorter than Clyde Lovellette. Hitch is first alternate substitute for Grandpa Brannum.
If the Kansas State basketball coach's vision is as faulty as he confesses, as to Lovellette's height, then there is no wonder that his other senses plague him continuously. He sees things in the dark and too, he has been suffering from an abnormal case of growing pains these past several years."
Son's Goal Kills Father
Columbus, Ohio—(U.P.)—J o h n Weber, 18, star forward of Linden-McKinley's high school basketball team, was allowed to finish a game before being told that his father had died of a heart attack. The father collapsed after watching his son score the field goal that put his team ahead in the closing moments as Linden won 48 to 45.

Big Seven Standings
The Nebraska Cornhuskers stalled for the final 49 seconds of a hectic last half and went on to defeat the Jayhawkers 57 to 16 in a Big Seven basketball contest at Lincoln Jan. 10. Nebraska's White-head scored 26 points, 19 of them before intermission.
Trailing 26 to 34 at the half, K.U. put on a thrilling final period rally which brought them within one point of the victors at the close of the game.
Kansas was behind almost the entire game, being able to hit only a small per cent of their shots both from the field and from the charity line. Bill Houghland was high point man for the Jayhawkers with 15 points. K.U.'s Lovellette scored 12 points but could not seem to keep Whitehead under control in the first half and the big Nebraska center drove in again and again to score with devastating accuracy.
Claude Houchin played an outstanding game for Kansas in the guard position. He scored 11 points. It was Houchin also, who in the waning minutes of the game, stole the ball from Whitehead under the Nebraska goal and went the length of the court for the set-up to bring the score to 51 to 53.
