UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JANUARY 27,1947
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
People are wondering if the Jay-
hawkers have really hit their stride
or if the Iowa State game was
merely the "law of averages" game.
The floor play showed by the Jay-
hawkers was top-flight, and if some
of those tip-ins had rolled inside
instead of outside, the score might
have been quite a bit higher.
As the situation stands, Kansas can prove itself by walloping Kansas State, which will be tough, by a sizeable score, which will be tough.
The Aggies will undoubtedly be pointed for the game with their intra-state rivals, and it will be a rough contest in all respects.
The refereeing of Ronald Gibbs and Cliff Ogden Friday was the best of any Kansas game this year, unless it was the working of Curtis and Shields in the Kansas-Arkansas game.
***
The gist of Coach Louis Menze's after-the-game comments was a sad, "I told you so." The Iowa State mentor had issued warnings before the game that the Jayhawkers were merely dormant and were likely to explode at any time.
The thorough trouncing handed out by the Oklahoma Sooners to the Missouri Tigers Saturday not only proves beyond any doubt that the Tigers can be beaten, but also that they can be swamped.
It seems that Charlie "The Hawk" Black is the only man in the Big Six that can hold Gerald Tucker within reasonable range. Black has turned the trick trice, holding Tucker to two goals and two frees on each occasion. Each time, the Hawk has outscored Tucker by at least three points. Tucker scored 21 points Saturday against M.U.

Two decisive games will be played this week, one at Lawrence, and the other a clash between Iowa State and Oklahoma on the Sooner court.
Charlie Black, Kansas' all-American forward, was chosen by Sportfolio on a national basketball "dream team," sharing the first quintet spots with Andy Phillip of Illinois, Ralph Beard and Alex Groza of Kentucky, and the great Sid Tanenbaum of N.Y.U.
Kansas, pre-season favorite to cop the Big Six, was ticketed for 14th place, and was rated four places over Rhode Island State which suffered its first loss last week. De-Paul, a Jayhawker opponent. Feb. 22, rated 12th at the start of the season.
The poll, taken near the first of the present season, ranked Kentucky as the top team in the country, with Illinois, Oklahoma A & M Notre Dame, New York U., Long Island U., and Southern California filling out the first seven. With the exception of Illinois, the selections could stand up fairly well today.
All Men's I-M Games Postponed
All men's intramural basketball games scheduled for this week will be postponed until the final examination period has been completed.
Eight games scheduled for tonight will not be played and will be rescheduled later.
Athletic Department Guests
Seniors from the Lawrence and Haskell high school football squads will be guests of the K.U. athletic department tonight in the Union. After dinner, pictures off he K.U.-Missouri football game will be shown. During the past season Lawrence was undefeated and Haskell lost only one game.

K.U., Sooner Weekend Victories Tighten Big Six Basketball Race
Kansas' licking of the Cyclones Friday by a 55-30 count and the Oklahoma Sooners' victory over Missouri by a 57-43 tally combined to throw a new light on the Big Six title race.
The Tigers are still on top, but they now lead the Sooners by a mere half-game while at the other end of the standings, the Jayhawkers are beginning to climb. $ \circ $ $ * * $ $ * $
Tuesday's game with Kansas State at Lawrence will be the real test for the Jayhawkers as they start their comeback. If the Wildcats can show Kansas back into the cellar, the Jayhawkers may stay entrenched for an indefinite time, but a Kansas victory may sink the Wildcats to the bottom rung permanently.
The Cyclones didn't play poor ball at Lawrence, but Kansas unleashed the power which made it the preseason favorite for the Big Six crown.
The Jayhawkers played spasmodically, sinking unbelievable shots and making long passes click, then slumping and missing supposedly easy shots.
Led by Charlie "The Hawk" Black, the Jayhawkers rolled up 55 points against the Cyclones for the second time this year, and limited the hapless visitors to six less points than they got at the previous meeting of the two clubs in Kansas City.
The two Iowa State high scorers, Jim Myers and Don Paulsen, were limited to four and two points respectively, with only one of Paulsen's points coming while Black was in the game, and that off a foul by another Kansan.
Owen Peck and Harold England exchanged jobs at holding down Myers and limited him to a single field goal and two free tosses. Buck was high man for Iowa State with six points.
The two Kansas leaders, Black and Otto Schnellbacher, kept their averages intact, and Black added to his 11-point mark by dumping in 15 points. Schnellbacher maintained his 11-point pace with four goals and three frees.
