Lovellette Leads In 56-50 Win
By RICHARD DILSAVER
Playing 40-minute 29-point basketball, the huge sophomore center didn't slow down in the second half and his teammates furnished sufficient support to get down the court with champs of the Big Seven, top contender to win this year's crown, and five-point favorite to win the game.
A home-court advantage, absence of Oklahoma's stellar Paul Merchant, and endless hustle and drive all the way didn't hurt the Jayhawkers. Merchant, captain of the Sooner guard and all-Big Seven guard, was left in Norman by Coach Bruce Drake after he failed to recuperate from a leg injury.
Lovellette was the big show, but others had their share of glory. Marcus Freiberger, Oklahoma's 6 foot 11 inch center, scored 22 points. Jayhawker sophomore Bill Hougland and Bob Kenney performed like veterans. Hougland doing a magnificent job of rebounding and ballhawking before leaving the game on fouls with seven minutes to go. Kenney starred in a relief role.
The victory wasn't easily gained. The Sooners got as close as two points with three minutes left before Claude Houchin insulated the lead with two cool free throws and the men of Allen beat O.U. at its own game—ball control.
Shaky in the opening minutes when Lovellette couldn't find the range, K.U. was trailing before Jerry Waugh made it 8 to 7 after six minutes were gone. The Sooners were never again in front.
It was just prior to halftime that Freiberger and Lovellette set out on their blazing duel. Intermission, which saw K.U. leading
25 to 21, didn't slow them down. Freiberger, who had tallied six points in the waning minutes of the first period, got as many more as the new half started to tie it up at 27 to 27, but Lovellette put the Crimson and Blue on top again with three of his own.
From there, the big Jayhawker was joined by Houchin, Waugh, and Kenney in building the biggest margin of the night, 47 to 39, with seven minutes left. But Freiberger wasn't through yet. After Hougland fouled out, costing Kansas valuable rebounding power, the Sooner big boy hit nine points in three hectic minutes and the score stood 51 to 48. Coach Allen put the Jayhawkers into a stall.
Lovelletta helped out with a free throw, but it still looked as though K.U. might crumble under the pressure when Wayne Glasgow stole the ball and went down floor for the bucket that made it 52 to 50 with one minute 35 seconds left.
It was then that the veteran Houchin's cool work at the free throw stripe paid dividends. Twice Sooners got too eager and fouled the Jayhawker guard and twice he converted and made the margin four points.
Oklahoma got the ball for the last time with 40 seconds remaining after a Kansan was called for traveling. But Glasgow missed from out front, England rebounded for K.U., and it was all over except for Lovelle adding the climax to his great night with one more hook shot just as the gun sounded.
Defeat for the Sooners was one big strike against them in their
quest for the conference championship. Victory for the inconsistent Jayhawkers meant that they may still have time to become a title contender. At any rate, it appears as though the Mount Oread cagers can at least win at home against the best of them. As to the recent complex for losing ball games in the second half, stamina may be the answer. Coach Allen used but seven men in the contest, one of those playing but briefly and Lovettette and Waugh going the distance. If that sterling six can hold up in the future, the Jayhawkers may yet have a great season.

GUARANTEED SATISFACTION
New York, Jan. 9—(U.P.) S i e n a college of Albany, N.Y., an outfit which firmly believes that the best offense is the best defense, today toped the dwindling list of unbeaten basketball teams in the nation with a total of 14 victories.
The unheralded Indians were closely followed on the list by Holy Cross with 11 in a row, Indiana with 10, Duquesne with nine, Auburn with eight, Cincinnati and St. Bona-venture with six each and Army with three.
Siena was the second best defensive team in the nation last season, right behind the Oklahoma Aggies. And their latest win on Saturday night by a 69 to 32 score indicates that once again they are speeding ahead by putting the brakes to their rivals.
But the Indians, not even half-way through a 30-game schedule, have trimmed many lower caliber clubs in that streak with their best wins against Regis, 1949 national Catholic champion, Manhattan and St. Francis.
Siena may get its lumps Wednesday night when it faces Niagara or on Saturday night against Seton Hall.
Holy Cross, led by 33 points by the phenomenal Bob Cousy, racked up No.11 last Saturday by a 93-46 count over arch-rival Boston college, thus applying a little salve to a 76-0 football drubbing by the Eagles. The crusaders try to make it a dozen tomorrow against Georgetown and, if successful, face tough St. Louis on Thursday in quest of that pesky No.13.
The only unbeaten team to see action tonight will be Indiana, which meets Michigan in an important Big
