UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MARCH 12, 1946
SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS By BILL SIMS
The feud between Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen and Henry Iba dates back to 1936, the year Iba became head coach at Oklahoma A. and M. Fifteen games have been played since 1936 by their teams. Jayhawkers have won nine of these games.
It is interesting to note that an Iba-coached Aggie team had never won a game from Kansas except those played on the Aggie's home court until the current five defeated the Jayhawkers, 46-28, in the tournament at Oklahoma City in December.
However, Kansas played without the services of All-American Ray Evans, and Otto Schnellbacher had not rounded into top form yet. So this game does not offer a good basis for comparison in speculating on the outcome of the N.C.A.A. playoff game between the two teams.
---
Jayhawker - Aggie games have always been low-scoring, hard-fought games. There has never been a difference of more than seven points in the scores of the two teams until the Aggies rang up their 18 point margin over the Jayhawkers in December.
The two teams play entirely different types of basketball. Iba always turns out top notch defensive teams, and Allen's teams are always well balanced in offensive and defensive play. However, the Aggies have turned into a high-scoring team since Bob Kurland has been playing with them.
Here is te record of the games between the Jayhawkers and Aggies!
1938-39; Kansas 34-27; Okla. A.
and M. 21-15, 25-19
1939-40 — Kansas 34-30, 45-43;
Okla. A, and M. 24-22
1940-41—Kansas 34-31; Okla. A.
and M. 30-26
1941-42 — Kansas 31-28, 32-28;
Okla. A. and M. 40-33

1942-43 - Kansas 36-29, 47-43
1945 - Okla. A. and M. 46-28
Many of the 1946 crop of basketball giants are playing their last year of college basketball. Bob Kurland, 7-foot Oklahoma A. and M. center, is closing a brilliant basketball career in Aggieland. Kurland has been the mainstay of the Aggie team the past three years. George Mikan, DePaul's 6 - foot 9 - inch center, is another basketball great who is playing his last year of college competition.
These two won't be eligible next year, but already other "skyscrapers" have been mentioned who may outshine them. Elmore Morgenthaler, 7-foot 1-inch center from New Mexico School of Mines, is leading the nation's scorers this year.
Also George Kok, Arkansas' 6-foot 7-inch center, is hailed as one of the top sophomore cagers in the country.
Basketball teams all over the nation seem to be specializing in these giants, and many coaches have suggested that something should be done to curb their high scoring activities.
