UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, JANUARY 25, 1942
No matter what the year or the season records, leave it to Kansas and Kansas State to furnish fans with one of the best dishes on a big basketball menu. Last night was another typical battle between the two state schools. It makes a clean sweep thus far this year in athletics for the Kaw Valley school. In a surprising upset the Jayhawker footballers came through with a 20 to 16 victory over the Aggies and last night made it number two for the year. The next chance for combat between the schools will be March 3 with a return court engagement at Manhattan.
THE FIRST ACT FROM LAST YEAR
To refresh the memories of basketball fans with last year's struggle at Lawrence here are a few highlights of that game. Howard Engleman was the leading scorer with 14 points, followed by Bobby Allen with 10, Johnny Kline with 9, and Marvin Sollenberger with 8.
For Kansas State Larry Beaumont was the big gun with 13 points, trailed by Danny Howe with 11, Jack Horacek with 10, and Chris Langvardt with 9.
The regulation game ended with a 41-all count after Bobby Allen had intercepted Tom Guy's out-of-bounds pass with only 30 seconds remaining and whipping a pass to Howard Engleman under the goal for the score-tieing points.
In the overtime Allen connected for the first three points after Howe had made an overhead basket. Engleman followed with a basket but Horaceck matched it for the Aggies' final points. Johnny Kline sank a set-up and Vance Hall dropped two free throws to finish the scoring and give the Jayhawks a 50 to 45 win.
THE BIG ARGUMENT OF THE GAME
Last night's game brought forth one beautiful argument. It all started with Bruce Holman's foul on Jack Ballard. Charlie Black was substituted at this point for Ballard but because the latter was shooting the free throw Black retired to the side lines.
Immediately after Ballard's unsuccessful attempt the buzzer on the scoring desk sounded. Darrel Hinkhouse followed suit with a quick whistle of his own. Just after the whistle Vance Hall took the rebound and pushed a goal.
Kansas State protested the counting of the goal and referees Ernie Quigley and Hinkhouse gathered in front of the scorer's desk for consultation. They discussed the play for several minutes and finally decided that the goal should not count.
This interpretation was correct in so far as the existing facts permitted. However, several mistakes were made in arriving at this solution. In the first place, Henry Shenk, on the scorer's desk, should not have pressed the buzzer until the ball was dead. The new rule this year allows for substitutions after SUCCESSFUL free throw attempts but not on those that are missed.
The second mistake was made when Hinkhouse blew his whistle on the court. He should have realized that the ball was still in play. In discussing the play a moment later, Quigley insisted that the goal should count. Basis for his belief was that only the buzzer had sounded and no whistle had been blown. In other words, Quigley didn't hear Hinkhouse blow his whistle and therefore the ball was still in play.
When Hinkhouse admitted that he had blown his whistle this automatically made the ball dead and the basket did not count, which was the decision given by the officials.
Comments on the situation were in agreement to the greatest extent. Gene Kemper of the Topeka Capital said, "A team is always entitled to a rebound on such a play but since Hinkhouse blew his whistle the ball was dead. The mistake was entirely on Hinkhouse."
mistake was entirely in the house. Bob Busby of the Lawrence Journal-World said, 'Technically it was a wrong decision but since the whistle was blown, nothing else could be done except to rule the basket did not account.'
except to ride the basket and win the game. The Jayhawkers weren't hustling or driving in the game until they found themselves seven points behind with nearly six minutes gone in the second half . . . Red Ettinger should be given a pat on the back for his good game. His only possible fault was in trying too hard to play team-work and passing up several good shots. But this most certainly can't be held against him . . . Jack Gardner, K-State coach, did a magnificent job of swearing while on the bench . . . His comment on Charlie Black
— "The big clown, he'll foul you every time so watch him" . . . Ray Evans and Johnny Bortka's personal dual resulted in Evans scoring six points to Bortka's three and Evans going out with four fouls and Bortka having three . . . Both played bang-up ball . . . Bob Johnson seems to have really hit his stride . . . And Paul Turner came through in a gratifying manner when the chips were down . . . K.U.'s blocking of enemy shots was superb but their rebounding couldn't have been much worse at times.
Javhawkers Lead--to block his way. Bisch led him into the free throw circle and then, just as Horace shot, he leaped into the air and blocked the shot.
That was Kansas State's last gesture as the Jayhawks controlled the ball for the major portion of the final 90 seconds. Miller was fouled by John St. John, Aggie guard, with 50 seconds to play but the Kansans took the ball out of bounds and stalled until the final moment.
Miler although still not hitting a very high percentage of his shots, played a marvelous floor game with his passing and generalship excelling. Even though his shots were not connecting too often he still paced the Kansas scorers with five field goals and two free throws for 12 points or an average of 10.4 for five conference games.

Navy Team Has Power
TwoDefeats In17Games
The most devastating scoring attack boasted by any basketball team in the country will be unleashed against Kansas Feb. 5 in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, when the Jayhawks tangle with the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team.
Victorious in 15 of the 17 games it has played this season, the Great Lakes team has been held to less than 45 points in only three of those 17 contests. Four times the Sailors sent their score past the 60 mark.
Johnny Adams Joins Squad
Purdue, perennial bell cow of the Big Ten, was soundly drubbed by Great Lakes, 54-39. Butler, the best of the independents in the Middlewest, was beaten 51-40 and Indiana, national champion in 1939, also fell before the Navy team.
To add to Great Lakes' scoring punch, two of last year's All-Americans, Johnny Adams of Arkansas and Lee Huber of Kentucky, joined the squad this week.
Adams, a great scorer, raised havoc in the Southwest conference for three years with his sensational two-hand jump shot. He was an almost unanimous choice for Allman for the Jayhawks as he ripped the nets for five baskets and one free throw, missing four of his charity attempts. This brings Black's average down to 13.8 for five games. Johnny Buescher scored seven points on three goals and one free throw to leave him tied with Miller at 10.4 points per game.

The Jayhawks started out in rapid style as Black stole an early pass from Beaumont and raced down the court for a set-up in the first five seconds. Horaceek matched this with a sweeping one-handed shot from the side of the court but the Jayhawks started to move at this point and tallied three quick goals.
At the 10-minute mark the score read Kansas 15, Kansas State, 10. In three minutes the Aggies had crept up to a 18-16 count but once again a Kansas spurt sent the score to 23 to 16. Here the Aggies rallied and scored four quick baskets with the last two points coming two seconds before the first half ended on a one-handed shot by St John. This gave Kansas State a 24 to 23 halftime lead.
Aggies Lead at Half
The Aggies started in the second half in the same manner that they left the court and ran the count
Horacek Leads Scoring
For Kansas State it was a three-ring circus with Horacek the outstanding star. He scored 14 points on six baskets and two free throws. His running-mate at forward, Bruce Holman, came through with four goals. The real trouble-maker for the Jayhawks however was Larry Beaumont, towering junior guard, who tallied seven points besides being K-State's outstanding defensive bulwark. He left the game in the overtime with a slash on his right eyebrow after emerging from a rebound-melee in front of the Kansas basket.
to 32 to 25 in five minutes. The next scene called for the Jayhawks to rally and they picked up their cues well for in another five minutes the gap was narrowed to 33 to 30 with the Aggies still leading.
Charlie Black sank a free throw and then Ray Evans committed his fourth personal foul against Johnny Bortka, his former high school teammate at Wyandotte. Bortka made the free throw with six and one-half minutes to play.
High Lead Near End
Kenny Messner, former Jayhawker cager three years ago, potted one of his two field goals and Beaumont lobbed a pass to Danny Howe for another goal to give K-State a 38 to 31 lead with five minutes to play.
Buescher came through with a long set shot and followed with a free throw. Miller once again made his entrance and his two baskets followed in quick order.
Hunter and Turner came through with their baskets and then came the overture with the Jayhawkers edging out a victory in the same manner as last year when, with the regular game ending at 41-all, Bobby Allen and Company came charging back to win, 50 to 45.
