Cyclones Win 49 To 45 For Cellar Tie With KU
Kansas, once a perennial basketball power in the midwest, had another black mark placed on its sparkling 50-year-old record Tuesday night.
The Jayhawkers, for the second straight year, finished conference play in a last place deadlock. This time with Iowa State. Clay Sutherland's Cyclones won 49 to 45, but had to stage a last minute drive to do it. About 2,000 fans saw the game. $^*$
The loss was Kansas' ninth in 12 conferences appearances this season. Despite a poor conference showing, Kansas still managed to gain a 12-12 record for the season. Kansas reversed the situation in non-conference play, winning 9 of 12.
Trailing 41 to 34 midway in the second half Kansas put on a blistering drive which finally pushed it ahead 44 to 43 with four minutes remaining. But all to no avail. Don Ferguson, 5-foot 8-inch guard, sank a long shot, his fourth of the night, and the Cyclones were off.
Iowa State then set up a stall which kept the Jayhawkers in check. Meanwhile they cashed on in mistakes made by the desperate Kansans. John Sheperd and Lloyd Kester slipped in under-the-basket shots to add the finishing touches. Jerry Waugh sank a free throw to score the only other Kansas point,
Both teams were hot from the field. The Cyclones sank 33 per cent of their shots, getting 20 of 60 while Kansas made good 17 of 57 for 30 per cent.
Gene Petersen, 6-foot 7-inch Kansas forward, turned in one of his rare home-court scoring performances bagging 18 points. This brought his season total to 145, just four short of the 149 posted by Nebraska's Claude Rethertor, who is a cinch to win conference scoring honors.
Don Paulsen led the Cyclones with 9 points but the limelight was on G. Anderson, 6-foot 4-inch forward. The blonde-haired junior got 8 points, and masterfully controlled rebounds throughout the second half.
Lynn Smith, promising Kansas sophomore, netted nine points and turned in a excellent floor game. Bill Sapp ended his three-year basketball career at Kansas getting one basket in a brief first-half appearance.
The two teams traded almost shot for shot in the first half with the lead trading hands four times. Neither team was able to get ahead by more than three points. The first half ended with the score tied at 28 to 28.

Ashburn Hurt In Spring Game
Clearwater, Fla., March 9—(U.P.) Richie Ashburn and Russ Meyer of the Philadelphia Phillies were hurt in the second inning of an intra-squad game Tuesday. Outfielder Ashburn, leading candidate for Rookie-of-the-year honors in 1948, was hit over the right eye by a thrown ball and subsequently removed to a nearby hospital for observation.
Meyer, a fast-ball pitcher obtained from the Chicago Cubs during the off-season, was forced to leave the game when hit on the wrist by a pitched ball. Meyer's injury was diagnosed as a severe bruise and possible fracture of the bone.
St. Petersburg, Fla., March 9—(U.P.) The third time apparently is a charm for rookie outfielder Gene Woodling of the New York Yankees. Woodling failed in two other big league trials with Pittsburgh and Cleveland. The Yankees announced Tuesday that Woodling, obtained conditionally from San Francisco, now was a member of the club on an unconditional basis and probably would be retained the entire season
West Palm Beach, Fla., March 9- (U.P.) — Connie Mack, 86-year-old manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, was shaken up but otherwise uninjured Tuesday when the car in which he was driving crashed into another sedan.
Orlando, Fla., March 9—(U.P.)—A glimpse at Washington's starting line-up could be gleaned today from the "regulars" manager Joe Kuhel named for tomorrow's intra-squad contest. The team had Ed Robinson at first base; Al Kozar at second; Sam Dente at shortstop; Ed Yost, third base; Gil Coan, Buddy Lewis and Ed Stewart in the outfield and Al Evans behind the plate.
