Kansas Defeats Iowa State 62-57 In 2nd Big 7 Win
The Jayhawker basketball team hung on to a slim lead to win 62 to 57 and hand the Iowa State Cyclones their sixth loss in Big Seven play. As a result of the win and Colorado's loss to Nebraska, Kansas moved up a notch in the Big Seven conference standings. The Jayhawkers are now in fifth place.
Some 7,000 people saw the thrilling game in Ames, Iowa. Claude Houchin started the scoring for K.U. and the Jayhawkers continued a slight lead until about two minutes before the end of the half. Dud Ruisch, Cyclone forward, hit three quick shots to even the count at 26-all. Dave Dennis gave K.U. its halftime lead with a push shot. Kansas lead at the half 28 to 27.
Iowa State enjoyed a short second half lead on Don Ferguson's quick fake shot. Houchin put his team back in the lead quickly.
The second period saw a close, fast game being played with Gene Petersen and Houchin doing some amazingly accurate shooting for the Jayhawkers. Petersen got 21 points and Houchin 20 to lead the evening's scoring.
The game had a fast, frantic ending as the Cyclones tried to hold on to a 56 to 52 lead with four minutes left to play. Jerry Waugh cooled things down by pushing in two quick shots to even the count.
The Cyclones went back into the lead when Waugh fouled Paulsen who made his free throw good. Petersen got things back in hand for the Jayhawkers by making a couple of free throws.

Nebraska, which knows less about what goes on in the winner's circle than any of the old members of the Big Seven basketball conference, kept intact its bid for its first championship since 1938 with a perfect record of 4-0 today.
Nebraska split a crown with Kansas in 1938 in the old Big Six conference. Otherwise, since 1929 the Huskers have always been well outside looking in.
The Nebraska drive overcame a stubborn Colorado team the past weekend, 45 to 43, in a game which caught the floor full of battling spectators once. The Huskers had to come from behind to win.
Kansas, which finally has begun to score in bigger and better numbers, may be expected to give Nebraska a battle at Lawrence Saturday. Nebraska clubbed Kansas earlier, 52 to 34, and today has a string of wins seven games long. The last Husker loss was to Missouri in the Big Seven tournament in Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 29.
Iowa State will meet Colorado at Boulder and Kansas State and Kansas will clash at Lawrence in other conference games this week.
Oklahoma is matched Friday against its bitterest foe, though a non-conference rival—Oklahoma A. and M. college. The game will be played at Norman.
