Iowa State Slaughter Repeats Husker Episode
BY CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
☆ ☆ ☆
"Same story, second verse" might well be the tale of the little fiasco which was held in Hoch auditorium last night before 3.158 fans as the Kansas Jayhawkers gave a repeat performance of their Saturday night Nebraska slaughter by breezing past the Iowa State Cyclones, 60 to 44, in a contest which never saw Iowa State in the lead or even tied with the Kansans for a single moment.
The victory, which maintained Kansas' position at the top of the Big Six ladder with Oklahoma, was a sweet one indeed, for it gained complete revenge for the 4-point loss by which Iowa State gave Kansas its only blot in conference competition
CHARLES BLACK
Ask R.O.T.C.
Students
To Register
Col. James Dusenbury requests that all advanced students in R.O.T C. register at the draft board in Lawrence immediately.
Because every man between the ages of 20 and 45 may be challenged by authorities to show his registration card, Col. usenbury said that having a registr. ion card will eliminate misunderstanding if any advanced student . questioned.
The Women's Rifle club will hold a meeting for members and any other women interested in shooting at 7:30 tonight in Fowler shops.
Advanced R.O.T.C. students are not required by law to register, Dusenbury said.
Rifle Club Meets
It also knocked the Cyclones out of the remotest possibility of retaining even their cochampionship of the Big Six and resolved the title race into a two-team duel between the Sooners and the Jayhawkers with all eyes and emphasis pointing to the game at Norman, Feb. 27, between these top two teams.
Miller also had the Iowa State game to look back at because that was the last regularly scheduled game, which excludes the Great Lakes affair, in which he had been held below 12 points. In the six games since then he had scored 12, 15, 13, 30, 14, and 24 points. Including last night's game in which he tallied 11 field goals and four free throws for 26 points, Miller has an average of 19.1 points for his last seven regularly scheduled performances.
'Cappy' Stars
Rudolfson Guarded Heavily
Once again it was Ralph "Cappy" Miller who led the Jayhawks to victory but he had mighty able assistance from Charlie Black who returned to his early season form by dumping in eight field goals and one free throw for 17 points. His performance last night was reminiscent of his first three games when he tallied 25, 9, and 17 points to hold a 17-point average when he met the Cyclones at Ames and was held to 7 points.
Defensive stars of the night were Ray Evans and Charlie Black. Evans guarded Al Budolfson, Iowa State's high-powered forward and highest total point maker in the conference until last night, for the entire game. Of the four goals which Budolfson scored only one was scored on set plays. His second goal was fired five seconds before the first half ended on a long mid-court shot and his final goal was made in the same manner just 15 seconds before the final gun. The Cyclone forward's third goal was on a tip-in when both teams were jammed around the basket.
Black blocked shot after shot with his tentacle-like arms and with Evans gained two-thirds of the Kansas rebounds. Black fired Carol Schneider, Cyclone guard who held him down at Ames, out of position
