Jayhawkers Upset DePaul 58-41; Schnellbacher Leads With 19 Points
By BOB DELLINGER Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The Jayhawkers return to Lawrence tonight to engage the Oklahoma Aggies and rest with the assurance that at least once this year they have looked like a championship team.
That one time was Saturday night when they walloped DePaul University, 58-41, in the second half of a doubleheader played in the Chicago stadium.
The first game was a 52-51 triumph for the Illinois Whiz Kids over the Northwestern Wildcats in a Big Nine conference game. The attendance of 22,543 fell short of the record by only 279 persons.
Following the first-game thriller, the crowd settled back to watch DePaul run away from the upstart visitors, but Kansas shocked them by fighting them evenly through the first half of the opening period and then by pulling away to a safe lead long before the half ended.
RAY EVANS OTTO
SCHNELLRAUCH
The two squads exchanged baskets and free throws for 10 minutes with three points being the biggest margin until, with eight minutes remaining. Otto Schnellbacher caged a hook, a set shot, and a rebound in rapid succession to start the Jayhawkers on the way.
Schnellbacher, who coped game scoring honors with 19 points, pushed in another set shot a short time later to pull Kansas ahead. 23-14.
A free throw by Frederick and the longest shot of the night, by Whitey Kachan, pulled the Blue Demons up to a 17-23 margin at the half.
The Kansas "Big Three" cashed goals at the start of the second half to put Kansas ahead, 29-18. DePaul's point came on a charity toss by Frederick.
The Jayhawker lead fluctuated around 10 points for several minutes, with the teams matching baskets and free tosses about evenly. Ray Evans chipped in two long shots and Black and Peck each cashed a goal and two free tosses.
CHARLIE BLACK, JACK ESKRIDGE
Coach Howard Engleman began to substitute liberally, resting his first five, especially Schnellbacher, Black, and Feck who were in danger of fouling out. Ray Evans remained in the game, alternately playing guard and quarterback.
With five minutes remaining in the ball game, the Jayhawkers again hit a spurt and pulled out of sight of the Demons, even though the DePaul squad pressed defense full court.
In the last minute, Kansas scored on goals by Schnellbacher and Gib Stramel, and on a pair of free throws by Bill Sapp. Stramel pushed in one-hander a second after the final gun, but it was not allowed and the final score read 58-41, Kansas.
Schnellbacher was high for the night with 19 points on nine goals and a free, with Black and Evans as runners-up with 10 each. Gene Stump of DePaul caged 10.
Black was a major power on defense, holding Ed Mikan, 6 foot 8 inch
brother of famous George, to only eight points. The big Demon center had averaged over 15 points a game in 21 contests this year.
Mikan caged three hook shots for his only points from the field and sank two frees to raise his total to eight. Black kept Mikan from getting the ball through most of the first half, and the big Demon center only got control of it eight times during the game.
Black and Evans controlled rebounds off the DePaul backboard and to a large extent off the Kansas boards. Schnellbacher was also a terrific rebounder under the Kansas basket.
Stump, DePaul's ace scorer, picked up four goals off Ray Evans, three of them on hook shots. Whitey Kachan, who was DePaul runner-up with nine tallies, caged three long shots and a trio of charity tosses.
In the first game, the Illinois Whiz Kids squeezed by cellar-dwelling Northwestern to keep Big Nine title hopes alive.
The Whiz Kids were led by Gene Vence, husky guard, with 15 points, including the winning basket in the final minute of play. The Wildcats almost pulled an upset on the spectacular set shots of Benny Schadler and Eminst Neufer who his seven long shots each.
Andy Phillip, chief Whizzer, and Ken Menke hit 13 and 10 respectively, but it was the aggressive drive of Vance that kept the Illini from dropping their all-important game. The box score (second game)

John Jackson, Kansas quarter miler, nosed out Missouri's captain, Dick Ault, and turned in a meet record of 51.6 seconds. Ault then returned to anchor the Missouri mile relay team against Jackson for a Missouri victory and a meet mark of 3 minutes 30.9 seconds.
