MANHATTAN (AP) — Sophomore guard Danny Beard led Kansas State to an 87-60 non-conference basketball victory.
Beard's nine-for-11 effort from the field sparked the Wildcats to a 48-27 halftime edge. The game was never in doubt after that.
The 6-3 Beard, who led all scorers with 23 points, also had a brilliant night defensively. He earned the point when he held Scooter Lenox, the
Longhorns' leading scorer, to two points. Lenox was averaging 21.3 points per game.
Kansas State, now 32, bulged its lead to as much as 31 points midway through the second half before Coach Jack Hartman started running in his reserves. He out and out the last eight minutes.
Mitchell also pulled down 13 rebounds as Kansas State forged a 47-36 edge in that department.

KU Pounds Fighting Irish
By MATT BEGERT Assistant Sports Editor
Outsided掩并 not outdone, the KU Jayhawks posted their victory against Notre Dame 88-74 in boards in Allen Field House after catching and holding a lead anxiously sought after by the N.C. team.
Usually weak at the charity line, the 'Hawks made an astonishing 18 out of 26 even twice as good as the team had done in any previous game. KU was 72 per cent accurate at the game.
The 'Hawks took an early 10-2
lead but the Irish started hustling
and with 10:55 left in the half,
they had tied the score 20-20.
6-9 center Randy Canfield' lauck with fists was all bad and with 13.58 left in the first half, he had 10 runs and a dangerous number of 3 fouls.
Senior Neal Mask served as Canfield's replacement, grabbing 5 rebounds and scoring 10 points in operating in that capacity
The performance of KU's Wilson Barrow was crowd-pleasing and coach-pleasing, with the team particularly happy about his record total of 15 rebounds for the game and his supplementary 15 points.
But the hero of the scoreboard was undoubtedly 6-5 forward Bud Pierce, who already to his credit, Stallworth made the first of a one-and-one situation with 1:40 left in the half. Bardell then grabbed the basketball again and put it up for two points. Notre Dame got the ball just long enough for KU to stoke it and Stallworth ended up with it. He put it in once and followed it up with another 2-1 victory in scoring streak just before halftime. That broke the game open and forecast the doom of the
From then on KU refused to let go of the lead. The Notre Dame team never got closer than 6 points to the Jayhawk score.
Sophomore guard Kivisto also plaited the Irish team. His first game was against Notre Dame defenders and Notre Dame coach Richard Phiels commented that he thought he had been the best guards in the country.
Notre Dame's leading scoring
were 6-2 guard Bob Vallis with
14 points to his credit. Sophomore
Tom Hansen scored 13 against
The leading Irish rebounders were center Gary Novak and forward Willie Townsend with 11 and 7 respectively.
the Jayhawks and another sophomore, Chris Stevens, tallied 10.
Owens Says KU Cagers Had to Win
H beat basketball coach Ted
Ohtake and won the championship.
Jayhawk victory over Notre
Dame that the biggest improvement
the Hawks made was
their defense.
And win they did, even though the team was not as "smooth and sharp" as Owens had wanted them to be.
"Another defeat at this point would really discourage the team," Owens said. "Our players had that we had to win this one."
Owens said sequestring reports and indicated that the Notre Dame basketball team and persevered as they were, were noted for their hustle and determination, as they were.
Owens described the game as sort of an alley fight." He said it took him about a minute but then got careless, enabling Note Dame to even it up at 20-20.
"They used their ability very well to get to the board," Owens said, "and there for a while they were able to outscrape us."
The Jawhaws had had little chance of winning. Dame full-court press defense, Owens said, but added that the Hawks were still able to get a lot of wins.
He said that guards Aubrey Nash and Tom Kivik worked well to break the press and were known for their strong Wilson Barrow, and the KU leading score for the night, Bud Stallworth. Owens attributed part of Stallworth's success to his to find openings on the wings
The Fighting Irish full-court press had been one of its main assets in previous games. The team's success in those games, had not been able to practice intensively against the Notre Dame dame style of defense. The team's own players had been plagued by the combination of the press and the hustle of the Fighting Irish, and that KU was being outclassed.
Owens said the team would take it easy for a day before it begins preparation for the game Saturday in Lawrence.
Owens also said that he thought the Notre Dame team tired sooner than the Hawks, thus gaining the advantage in that department.
Notre Dame's record going into the game was 2-1.
But the 'Hawks soon started playing a more careful ball game, taking control of the defense. The Worth's sudden burst of scoring,
The Hawks will barely have time to recover before they are pitted against Louisville. The Hawks will be House. House is 1-1 or 1-1 far

In a mixed-up, see-saw game,
the KU freshman squeaked by
Coffeville Junior College, 84-81.
Wednesday.
Although the officials granted me time out, KU didn't have any teammate to play with or technical foul. Burch sunk the free throw which gave the Ravens a 30-17 victory.
But Burch stole the hall from Ku's Dale Greenee. Belcher drove in and they met time. Jayhawk guard Marshall Rodgers swiped the back back and held the ball.
Frosh Tilt Ravens
But hold on. Rodgers puffered the ball from Coffeyville guard Lanard Reid with four seconds left and headed toward the basket. He blew the layup, but the process had ended. The process. Rodgers made the last shot, but missed the second. That sent the game into overtime.
Most of the confusion started after Kansas called time out with 1:39 left in the ball game and the defense was ready for the last shot, but the ball was stolen by Coffeyville guard Charles Henderson, however a, jumped down because Raven guard John Burch was trapped outside his own blue line for more than five minutes, got the tip with 14 seconds left.

On KU's last possession, Rodgers missed a desperation jump. The game remained tied, 77-77. Rodgers began the scoring in the second overtime by grabbing a corner flag from the layup. He was fouled on the play and he collected the third point. But with 1:35 left in the two minutes, Rodgers could Coferville within one with a tip in the. 'Hawks again went to their stalling tactics the next trip down the floor in the hope of winning. Greenlee made a bad pass over the head of guard David Mathews and out of bounds, which gave the Hawks little remaining a minute remaining.
In the first overtime KU killed out a quick 77-73 lead on two free throws by Rodgers and a layup by center Rick Suttle. But the team did it up on consecutive scores by KU and forward Charles Evans.
