Barrington Scores 28 Points To Defeat K-State Wildcats
The Jayhawks have found themselves. With Don "Duck" Barrington dropping in the amazing total of 28 points, Kansas rebounded from a 31 to 31 halftime deadlock with a final half splurge that sent the fighting Kansas State Wildeats down in defeat, 62 to 44, last night in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium.
In the first han of n. 4,000 fans, the Missouri Tigers nosed out the Washburn Ichabods, 29 to 28. Tonight, it will be Missouri and Kansas in the finals of this pre-season "Big Six clinic." Kansas State will battle it out with Washburn, whom they have previously whipped. On comparison of scores against a common Joe, Washburn, and on last night's performances, Kansas is the outstanding favorite over Missouri. Phoos 'Prophency Comes True
Dr. Allen recently prophesied that Kansas might come to life anytime now. But the peak his boys reached in the final half of last night's battle was far above his fondest expectations and came much sooner than expected.
All of the fun came in the first half when Barrington, who delivered newspapers in high school rather than go out for football or basketball, just couldn't miss slipping the ball through the net. He set a torrid pace, scoring 10 field goals and 4 free tosses for 23 tallies. Despite a bothersome charley-horse, he tallied seven baskets in the first 9 minutes of play. His favorite overand shot was working to perfection and his opponents couldn't guard it. Wildcats Break Loose
Kansas at one time in the first half enjoyed a 21 to 10 advantage. then the Wildcats broke loose with 'ervor, and using a fast break 'notted the count at 27-all with three minutes to go.
Bob Schwartz. Norville Gish, Myron Foveaux and Lee Boyntz paced the attack. It way Boyntz's basket which gave Cliff Rock team a 20 to 27 lead. Then Barrington flipped in a pain. Doyen knotted the count at 31-all seconds before the gun sounded.
Allen Sends in New Team
Kansas made a rout of it in the last half. The tired Wildcats couldn't find the range and the Jayhawks sled in the goals. Coach Allen sent in an entire new team in the final three minutes.
Barrington, who played a marvelous rebounding game, was given a great ovation when he left the floor at the half.
A tip-in shot in the last $2\frac{1}{2}$ minutes of play by Bob Heinsohn, 6-oat 5-inch freshman, gave Missouri a thrilling 1-point victory over Washburn university, 29 to 28. The teams battled furiously in the final moments. The Jehabods had several chances to bring the game out of the fire, but missed shots under the
bucket in the waning seconds.
Kansas Plays M.U. Feb. 1
Actually, it was fortunate for the Jayhawks that the Ichabods did miss. Kansas opens their Big Six conference campaign at Columbia. Jan. 8, and tonight's competition against the Tigers should get them ready to start out right in their tremendous task of retaining the Big Six crown. Kansas previously played Washburn at Topeka and had little trouble in winning. A return game with the Ichabods is scheduled for Feb. 1, in Hoch auditorium.
Dan Pippin, 17-year-old Tiger frosh, was everything his name implied as he led the Missouri attack. The rangy blond scored 11 points and got most of the Tiger rebounds.

From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Dr. F. C. Allen's recent letter to Ralph Cannon, sports writer for Esquire, concerning the latter's recent sports poll, is extremely interesting, as it presents in full detail Allen's argument for the 12-foot basket. It actually leaves little doubt in the reader's mind that the good doctor knows what he is talking about.
Cannon's poll disclosed hte results of the polling of the public, sports-casters and writers, and coaches concerning the raising of the baskets. While the public, as quizzed by Esquire, favored the new goals, the sports-casters, editors, and coaches contacted turned thumbs down on the idea. Allen in his letter, reiterates his arguments in favor of the change.
change.
Few Have Seen Higher Goals
Dr. Allen doubt if 10 per cent of the coaches in the nation have ever seen a 12 foot goal. The University of Kansas has had them set up in its gymnasium for 15 years for the purpose of teaching the Allen disciples the art of properly arching the ball. And that was one of the contributing factors to the fact that Allen's Jayhawkers twice defeated Hank Iba's quintet last season with Kurland in the line-up both games.
The fact that the tall boys can prevent the ball from going through the basket by goal tending, is not one of the Doctor's objections to the 10-foot basket at all. Rather, he points out in his letter to Cannon, the discrimination is in favor of the offense rather than the defense.
"If the ball is on the rim of the basket," he wrote, "the offensive man may push it in, strike the ball, bat it in, or strike the rim when he dunks his arm about eight inches through the rim with the ball, and the goal counts in all of these situations. But a defensive man guarding the goal may not tap the ball or reach over the perpendicular plane of the basket in knocking the ball away from the hoop. Again, if the ball should be on the edge of the basket and the defensive man should knock it off or touch the goal two points are scored for the offensive side."
Dr. Allen was featured in the December issue of the Southern Coach and Athlete, with his article, "Vital Basketball Fundamentals in War-Time America." Dr. Allen states in the beginning of his article that "so many changes have occurred in the basketball coaching personnel in our American high schools and colleges
