PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1948 KU Swamps Buffs, 57 To 44 By BOB DELLINGER Assistant Sports Editor The Kansas Jayhawkers, with Otto Schnellbacher and Jerry Waugh showing the way, bowled over the Colorado university cagers, 57 to 44, in Hoch auditorium Saturday night for their third straight victory, and second in the Big Seven conference. second in the Big Seven conference The Jayhawkers remain deadlocked for the conference lead with th Iowa State Cyclones, who came through with a 53 to 45 victory over Missouri at Ames also to remain undefeated in two conference tilts. Schnellbacher, three-time all-conference forward who returned to the court wars Monday, showed definite effects of a week's practice as he poured in five goals and six fives to lead the scoring. The big Jayhawker, along with Claude Houchin and Harold England controlled rebounds under both baskets. Waugh Hits 13 Freshman sensation Jerry Waugh pushed through 13 points, and ran the team from the quarterback slot with the cool, practiced hand of a veteran. Les Metzger led the Buffaloes in scoring with five baskets in the first half, but England's jump shots drew him off balance once too often, and he left the game on fouls with seven minutes gone of the second half. Bob Rolander, six-foot five-inch Colorado ace, was limited to seven points by Claude Houchin, before the tall blond fouled out on Schnell-bacher midway through the second period. Carr Besemann of Colorado also left the game via the foul route. Schnellly Swings Into Shape Schnellbacher went in at halftime with four fouls chalked against him, and Kansas fans feared a repitation of Tuesday's early departure, but he played out the second half without a foul, meanwhile driving hard for rebounds and points. Kendall Hills, Colorado forward, presented a reverse picture as he went through the first period with an unblemished record, but collected four fouls in the second half. Hills scored nine points. Ruffs Ahead Only Once Houchin, with five points, boosted his total to 93 in 11 games to keep the team scoring lead, but lost the average per game title to Schnellbacher who has 18 points in two contests. England's seven leaves him second in totals with 87 points. Kansas leaped into the lead 20 seconds after the tipoff as Schnellbauer basked a long set shot from the side, and England added a charity. Colorado pulled ahead with baskets by Metzger and Rolander, but the 4 to 3 lead after four minutes and 40 seconds was Colorado's only time in front. Waugh was badly shaken up in a spill under the Colorado basket shortly before the half, but after a short rest he came back at full strength to lead the second half attack. Bill Sapp's goal and a free toss by Besemann left the score tied at 5 to 5, and Kansas cut loose. After $10\frac{1}{2}$ minutes of the game were gone, the Jayhawkers led 12 to 5. Kansas kept up the pace until halftime and led 29 to 19 at the intermission. Kansas Piles Up Score The Jayhawkers started the second perpiod by banging away at the bucket for six points in three and a half minutes while holding the Buffs to a lone charity. Kansas kept on going at full speed to pile on a 19-point, 47 to 23 lead after 10½ minutes. Holding that margin up to the 16-minute mark, the Jayhawkers led 55 to 36 when the reserves took the floor. As the seconds tried a stall, Colorado came to life to ring up eight points against two for Kansas in the last three and a half minutes. Kansas' only shot in this period was a successful layup by Guy Mabry with 10 seconds remaining. University High Loses Close Game To Basehor Basehor High School scored four points in the last minute to nose out a one-point victory the University High Eagles 34-33 in a Tri-County league basketball game Friday. The game was played at Basehor. The U. H. S. "B" team was also beaten 25-13 by the Basehor second team. OTTO SCHNELLBACHER KU, Cyclones Spill Pickers Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 12—(UF)—They're playing leap-frog on Midlands basketball courts this season, and the poor crystal-baller is on the bottom of the rile! The picture in the Big Seven conference cage race this week is about as different from the outlook in the same league a week ago as garlic and roses. It makes a third major change in the hardwood portrait since the pre-season Big Seven conference tournament got underway here only one month ago. Wildeats Can Be Beaten The Kansas State Wildcats, satis-fying Manhattan-ites' urge for blood after another depression in football, lost their unbeatable title last week with a loss to Long Island U. in New York, and that loss raised the barometer of hope in cage camps throughout the league. It turned the race for the Big Seven crown into another cut-throat, wide-open, clam-bang affair. Little old Iowa State college up in Amos and Kansas, ignored by most during the season thus far and given low berths, by those who stooped to look, own the sole unmarried slates on the conference calendar these days. In the Kansas City tournament, the Cyclones lost two out of three, but since dog days, they've moved up in the world and have downed two conference foes—in games that are counted in the conference standings—in quick succession. Nebraska (ell by the way-side, 55-44, and Missouri bowed Saturday, 53-45. Cyclones Started Slowly Iowa State tests that unbeaten string tonight in an intersectional game against Iowa State Teachers College and return to the conference against Oklahoma Saturday. Phog Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers are sitting pretty in the conference statistical compilations so far, racking up two loop victories in as many games—one over Oklahoma, another over Colorado. They take on Drake at Lawrence Wednesday in an intersectional duel. The big test for Kansas State will come tonight when the Wildcats open their conference competition against Colorado at Manhattan. Big Seven fans are debating, today, the ability of Jack Gardner's wonder five to snap back from that L.I.U. drubbing. A good team, they say, has to take the bad with the good.
