Kansas Trims Hawks 67-20 To Score First Court Win
The University of Kansas opened its 1948-49 basketball schedule with a one-sided win over Rockhurst college in Kansas City. About 1,500 fans saw the Jayhawkers run up 67 points to their opponents' 20. Kansas' starting line-up was in only about half of the first period and again for a few minutes at the beginning of the second half.
Claude Houchin led his teammates in the scoring parade as he dumped in four field goals in the first half and three more in the second. He also added three free throws to make his total for the evening 17 points. The junior letterman started the scoring for the evening with just a little over a minute gone. By the end of the half Kansas led 32 to 10.
Houchin, captain Bill Sapp, and 6-foot, 7-inch Gene Peterson controlled the backboards for the Kansans. The Hawks' lack of height combined with their inability to work the ball into scoring position against the Jayhawkers' defense made the game an easy one for the Jayhawkes.
If the game had been close enough to depend on free throws, the Kansans would have been hard put to win. They made only six out of 18 tries in the first half. They did better in the second half as they hit 11 out of about 17 attempts.
Coach Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen used his reserves most of the game. They were not as smooth working as the starting quintet, but handled the ball well and were able to keep up their end of the scoring. Dave Dennis split the basket for two fielders and added four free throws to lead the reserves in scoring. He was third high man for the Kansans. He also had four out of five tries at the free throw line for one of the best averages of the evening.
Outstanding star for the Hawks was little Leo Schiecher who, though only 5-foot, 7-inches tall, often tied up the taller Jayhawkers. He led the Hawks as they never quit batting, but never seemed to be able to keep the ball away from the faster, bigger Kansans.
Paul McGovern, 6-foot, 3-inch center, led the Hawks' scoring with a field goal and five free throws before going out of the game on fouls
in the last minute. Ken Lane's Hawks have never won a game from the Jayhawkers.

Bears, Cards In Big Game
By UNITED PRESS
The Bears and the Cardinal Chicago's twin titans of the Nation football league, cleared the fin hurdles today before their batti Sunday for the Western division championship.
Burrowed in ankle-deep mud and whipped by a gale-like wind, the Cardinals defeated the Green Bay Packers, 42 to 7, yesterday at Chicago while the Bears rode Sid Luck man's aerial route to a 42 to 14 tromph over the Detroit Lions at Detroit.
That left the pair with identi- records of 10 victories and one de- feat—and one game left to play That one game is against each other for the championships.
The Bears downed the Cards, 29 to 17, in their earlier meeting this season and later lost to the Eastern Eagles.
The Eagles already had their title clinched yesterday when they went into action against the Boston Yankees and it was just as well.
