Buesser also resorted to long shots and came up with three goals.
During the first half Bisch was fouled four times and made all four attempts from the free throw line.
Kansas lost last night. You already know that. You heard it last night probably and have read it this morning or at least in the columns to the right of these words. But don't lose faith in the Jayhawkers just because they lost. They still have one of the best teams in the country.
They played their hearts out last night. At least they gave as much as could be expected after playing Nebraska on Saturday night and Missouri on Wednesday night. Three road games within six days is hard on any team and it makes it doubly difficult when the players have a few items such as final examinations to worry about when they return from their trip.
Iowa State probably deserved to win last night. They were hot. Students at the game said they were hotter than any time this year. And it took every bit of their best to nudge out the fighting Kansans.
In Al Budolfson, Iowa State has undoubtedly one of the best forwards in the conference. He has a very good eye for the basket, most of his goals coming on shots that didn't touch the rim of the basket. A paradox of his is that he misses the backboard on about one-fifth of his shots. He was extremely fast last night and many times dribbled around Kansas guards only to miss his set-ups.
His favorite shot was in the left-hand corner of Iowa State's territory where he would take a pass from a guard, get set quickly, and let fly with a high-arching, two-handed shot. The other shot which he used the most was on a fast break across the free throw line when he whipped in goals with a one-handed push shot. The Cyclone senior made his first two free throws and then missed six consecutive chances.
Bob Harris appeared to be the luckiest individual out on the court. Time and time again he would take the ball and go charging down the floor. The Kansas defensemen would stand stationary in their positions and when Harris hit them the referee would immediately call a foul on the defense. The logic of the interpretation just wasn't evident. Bobby Johnson was especially the victim of this happenance.
Johnson played the best brand of ball he has exhibited the entire year last night and yet he had three fouls called on him in the last 70 seconds. Twice the foul was tailed right in front of the Kansas bench and it was obvious that Johnson was not moving but only maintaining his position. Referee Ted O'Sullivan called the fouls.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE REFEREEES
And with the mention of O'Sullivan another item is brought to mind. While rolling homeward last night it so happened that the radio was tuned to WOW, Omaha, where Tom Davis is giving a sports broadcast. His main topic of the evening was complaining about refereeing. The sport was a little different, Davis referring to the hockey game at Amaha Saturday night, but his thoughts were the same as ours.
Said sportcaster Davis, "Sports fans don't mind going to athletic attractions when the referees make a few mistakes. That is only natural. But when a referee consistently calls fouls on one team and never tries to even things up, then that is going too far. And when certain fouls are overlooked constantly when it is evident that a foul is committeed, once again that is too much."
Davis was just a little more burned up about his situation than the Kansas fans are about theirs. But it certainly proved a coincidence. Davis, in fact, even urged that the hockey referee, Steve Beeler, should never be allowed to referee in Omaha again for the good of the game.
Now this column doesn't think O'Sullivan is that bad. But from watching his work in the Oklahoma game here and again last night it appears evident that he might reach that point soon. During the early part of the game last night the fans were constantly asking Coach "Phog" Allen, "How much are you paying the refs tonight?"
Even when Iowa State was leading the fans themselves were disgusted with the officiating. And then when the game did become close in the last few minutes, the referees had to spoil it. In the last three minutes six fouls were called against Kansas and three against Iowa State. Four of the Kansas fouls coming in the last 90 seconds when the advantage of taking the ball out-of-bounds meant everything in the world to the Cyclones.
During the first half several Cyclone players would leap onto a Kansan's back in an attempt to get a rebound but no foul would be called. In the last half it happened many times again and twice it was called, showing that the action was against the rules, but was being overlooked the rest of the time.
The most flagrant of all fouls was the interpretation O'Sullivan gave to charging and blocking. One time during the game Miller charged down the court with the ball and Uknes collided with him. Both players were given fouls. The same thing happened three times in the last 90 seconds and only Bob Johnson, the Kansas defenseman, was given a foul.
After the game the Iowa State students were heard commenting that the refereeing had certainly been poor. The same comment was heard down at Missouri and likewise after the Oklahoma game here. The excuse by the high officials at the start of the season was that it was too early in the season. The same mistakes are being made now, indicating that some new referees would be in order.
Odds and ends from the game: Iowa State fans were the rudest to visiting players and spectators last night that this columnist has ever seen. . . All the other schools in the Big Six enjoy razzing K.U. and it is returned to a degree when they play at Lawrence. . . . But the treatment received last night was down-right malicious in intent. . . . After the game had progressed about 12 minutes a sign was lowered from the ceiling with the words "Croak Phrog, O.G.P.U." written on three cards. . . . It was finally lowered so low that it interfered with high down-court passes and the referees had to take time out and have the signs removed. . . "Where is Junior" was the pet cry of the night. . . . And another, "We don't want to beat Allen". . . .
Cyclones Clip Kansas
45-41 Loss Puts Kansas Out of Lead
By CHUCK ELLIOTT Kansan Sports Editor
A fighting band of game, but dead-tired, Kansas Jayhawkers went down to a 45 to 41 defeat last night at Ames at the hands of a hot Iowa State crew which was paced by all-Big Six forward, Al Budolfson.
Budolffson was the star of the game as he poured goal after goal through the hoop in the first half to register five baskets and two free throws. The Cyclone forward sank the majority of his goals on two-handed set shots from the corner. During the last half he added two more goals on one-handed flips from the free throw circle.
No one player was outstanding for Kansas as the entire squad played lackadaisical ball and only occasionally were spurts of their true form exhibited. This was the third away-from-home game in six days for the Jayhawks and came on the same road trip which took them to Lincoln for their victory over the Huskers Saturday night.
Hall Gets Hot
The first half found John Buescher and Vance Hall as the only Kansans able to get near the basket with their shots. Hall entered the game after 14 minutes had been played and sank one close-in shot and then whipped three long swishers through the cords in the next five minutes.
During the last half the scoring was more evenly divided for both teams as no one individual made more than Ralph Miller's two field goals and three free throws.
Over 4,000 fans crammed their way into State Gymnasium, which normally holds 3,200, at the start of the game. Charlie Black took the first shot of the game and missed but Miller tipped it in after 20 seconds of play. The Cyclones took the lead as Bob Harris was fouled while shooting and both the goal and the free throw counted.
Buescher and Budolson traded goals in the next minute and then Bisch followed with another free throw and a long shot from center to tie the score at 8-all with six minutes played.
Buescher tied the score with a free throw at the 90-second mark but Budolfson started his scoring spree at this point. He sank a goal and followed with a free throw to give the Cyclones a three-point lead with two and one-half minutes played.
It's Close For A While
For the rest of the first half it was a case of just how many points Iowa State wanted as they hit a torrid streak which resulted in points from every angle. During the next eight and one-half minutes Buescher and Black dropped in a free throw apiece for the only Kansas points as Budolfson connected for five, Schneider for four, and Harris for three.
Before Black's free throw the Cyclones led 20 to 9 for the biggest lead of the game. Hall entered the game for Kansas and with his eight points and three additional markers from Buescher the Jayhawks were able to close the gap a trifle before the half ended with the Cyclones leading 29 to 21.

A Rejuvenated Kansas Team
The second half was an entirely different story as the Jayhawkers came back to show that they were a truly great ball club. For eight minutes the Cyclones were held to only one field goal and that was a lay-in shot by Harris when the Kansas defensemen got mixed up on their men and allowed the red-head to get loose.
During those eight minutes the Kansas quintet looked like the same team that trounced Oklahoma, Missouri, and Nebraska. Miller got two free throws and Hunter one in the first three minutes. Miller came through again with a one-handed shot from the free throw circle to

Miller, Kansas game captain for the evening, followed this with the prettiest shot of the game as he came out of a melee under the basket and flipped the ball back over his head for another two points. Black scored his first basket of the evening with seven minutes played as he took a pass from Miller and drove in for a set-up.
Kansas Takes Lead
After an Iowa State time-out Ray Evans came through with his first goal of the night on a two-handed jump shot from the free throw mark. This gave Kansas a 32 to 31 lead with seven and one-half minutes played.
Harris tied it up on a successful free throw then Leon Uknes blocked Miller and a double foul was called. Miller made his shot good but Bob Hayes substituted for Uknes who left the game with four fouls, and
