Jayhawkers Defeat Purdue 60-52
The Kansas Jayhawkers, paced by a timely 18-point scoring barrage by guard Jerry Waugh, defeated the Purdue Boilermakers 60 to 52 in their home opener Saturday night in Hoch auditorium before 2700 cage spectators.
Except for a 2 to 0 lead at the start of the contest by Purdue and a 38-all tie early in the second half, Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen's cagers led from one to ten points throughout the contest.
With the game still in the balance and the Jayhawkers leading only 45 to 43 with 7:30 gone in the second half, Dr. Allen's cagers gave the fans their biggest thrill as they "iced away" the game with a 15-point scoring spree within less than three minutes to lead 53 to 43, their biggest lead of the contest. Goals by Dale Engel,
junior guard; Jack Carby, 8-foot seven-inch Clyde Lovellette, six-foot nine-inch sophomore center; and Waugh provided the margin that kept the Jayhawkers safely ahead the remainder of the way.
Kansas, presenting a well balanced first and second half scoring attack, used a 1-2 scoring punch in downing Coach Mel Taube's Purdue club, first Big Ten cage team ever to play in Lawrence. Clyde Lovellette, six-foot nine-inch sophomore center, chalked up 13 points before fouling out with eight minutes remaining.
For the second straight contest, the centers and guards have completely outscored the forwards. Besides Waugh's and Lovette's 31-point total, sophomore Jack Carby and junior guard Dale Engle, accounted for six points each. Captain Claude Houchin, senior guard, collected five first half points and Maurice Martin, senior guard, four points to make a total of 52 points from the backline or post positions, while the forwards could rack up only eight points. In the Creighton game, it was 43 to 12 in favor of the back-line.
Besides taking the game's scoring honors, Waugh limited one of the best offensive guards in the Big Ten conference, Capt. Howard Williams to ten points, with two goals from outside coming late in the contest. Andy Butchko, senior center, and Dave Westfall, junior forward, each racked up seven points. Dick Axness, six-foot three-inch senior forward, and Norman Greiner, junior guard, followed in scoring by each getting six points apiece for the visitors.
The victory gave Kansas an all-time record of three wins against two defeats against Big Ten cage teams and evened the series at 1-1 all with the Boilermakers. Last year Purdue won a 47 to 46 game with the Jayhawkers at Lafayette, Ind.
After Axness gave the Boiler-mate a 2-0 lead in the first minute. Lovellette tied the score at 2-all by tipping in Bob Kenney's shot
A pair of fielders by Waugh and Lovellette and single goals by Houchin, Bill Hougland, and Kenney kept Kansas ahead throughout the game in two of the contest as KU. Lead IV to I. at the mid-point of the first half.
In the final ten minutes of the first half, the Boilermakers rallied to close the gap by outscoring Kansas 16 to 13, to trail 27 to 30 at half-time.
After guard Maurice Martin hit a free throw and Lovellette an overhead 2-hand shot from the jayhawk, put the paw on 10 to 11 lead, biggest of the first half.
Each club continued to match shots and Kansas held a 27 to 20 lead after Houchin connected on a drive-in shot with 3:20 remaining. A free throw by Lovellette and Houglund's field goal closed out K.U.'s first half scoring.
Purdue rallied for seven points during this time on a fielder by Greiner, a goal and charity toss by Axness, and a long 2-hand setshot by Westfall that was in the air as the gun ended the first half.
With 6:30 played in the second half, Lovellette's fourth foul allowed Andy Butchko to tie the game at 38 all.
The tie was short lived as Waugh hit a charity toss about ten seconds later to put Kansas ahead to stay.
At this point the Jayhawkers rallied for eight quick points to hold their biggest lead of the game, 53 to 43.
Engel followed by hitting three straight free throws to give K.U. a 9-point lead again. Axness hit a free throw and Martin Horn a gassed the losers while Wauga connected to close out the Kansas scoring.
In the final minute and a half, five free throws were missed as Butchko, Bill Butterfield, Waugh (2), and Banks failed at the charity line.
Coach Allen and his cage squad will leave Tuesday on a 4-game eastern swing that will match them against four eastern foes, three of which ranked among the top 20 clubs in the nation in pre-season ratings.

Fur Exhibit Opens At Dyche
The museum of Natural History today opened to the public an exhibit of furs from native furbearing mammals of Kansas and Missouri. The exhibit shows the proper methods of preparing pelts of different kinds of furbearing mammals and aims to increase the financial returns of trappers who view the exhibit. It will be on display daily throughout the fur-trapping season from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and holidays.
Stressing the proper preparation of pelts, Dr. Rollin Baker, assistant professor of zoology, said that superior pelts must be fully prime, correctly skinned, well fleshed and properly stretched and dried. Dr. Baker pointed out that in the trapping season of 1946-47, fur trappers of Kansas received $750,000 from their sales of pelts.
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the Museum, stressed that his income represents 4 per cent interest on a capital investment of more than $18,000,000 and stated that Kansas could easily double the income from the sale of furs by applying improved methods of conservation.
Dr. Hall said that important parts of a better conservation program are leaving some of the animals for future breeding to stock, preserving their useful life and taking furbearing animals only when they are prime, in the legally prescribed trapping season of December and January.
Big 7 Cage Conference Play Starts This Week
By UNITED PRESS
Big Seven basketball teams pondered a tough, 13-game schedule for the week today and looked to the opening of the 1949-50 conference drive in one of the contests.
The Big Seven race will start off officially when Iowa State's Cyclones go against Nebraska, defending champion, at Lincoln Wednesday night. It's the only league match on the card before the annual pre-season, Big Seven tournament in Kansas City, Dec. 27 through 30.
The rest of the games this week will send Big Seven teams against some of the nation's best cage outfits, and in some instances will add a lot of mileage on the travel records.
Missouri and Nebraska are slated for three games each; Kansas State, Iowa State and Kansas are booked for two each, and Oklahoma and Colorado will each appear once during the week.
Kansas State's Wildcats will return home after tonight's game with West Virginia at Morgantown. Their trip took them to Madison, Wis., the Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Buffalo, N.Y.
Kansas State's second game this week will be against Baylor at Manhattan, Kan.
For Missouri tonight's game at Columbia, Mo., against Texas Christian university will open the season. The Tigers will play T.C.U. again Tuesday night, also at Columbia, and then mix with Michigan State at East Lansing next Saturday.
Iowa State's other opponent for the week will be the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis Saturday.
Nebraska, besides the Iowa State game, is matched tonight against Bradley at Peoria, Ill., and Baylor at Lincoln Saturday.
For Kansas the card calls for the Jayhawks to battle Cincinnati U.,
