Down Stubborn Tigers, 48-41 Engleman's 25 Points Pace Thrilling Win These Stars Twinkle In Jayhawker Triumph
By DON H. PIERCE
Kansan Sports Editor
Riding to victory on the net-swishing slants of their unstoppable blond bombshell, Howard Engleman, "Phog" Allen's Kansas Jayhawkers bested an outmanned, but fierce battling Missouri Tiger, in Hoch auditorium last night, 48-41.
Held to seven points in the first half by the fine guarding of Bengal captain Martin Nash, the curly-haired forward tore loose in the final period to count seven goals and three free throws to establish a new seasonal conference scoring high of 25 points and boost his loop average to 19 tal- $ ^{*} $
The triumph, which came only after 40 minutes of spine-tingling basketball in which the game Bengals refused to quit hoisted the Allenmen on an even keel with Oklahoma's Sooners atop the conference standings. Both have won two and lost one. It also extended the Kansas's home floor winning streak to 24.
Allen Hot Too
Sharing the lightspot with Engleman were hard-playing Bobby Allen senior quarterback, T. P. Hunter, a senior reserve, and Vance Hall, husky sophomer forward.
Allen supported Engleman ably in the scoring column with a 16-point surge while Hunter aided materially with a fine rebound performance in the final half. It was Hall's clutch goal with but a minute and a half remaining that gave the Jayhawkers a 43-41 lead when it seemed that the Missourians were on the upset trail for keeps.
It remained for five-foot eightinch Herb Gregg, an underrated junior, to set the pace for the visitors with a 17 point assault.
After Bill Hogben muffed a difficult set-up effort in the opening Kansas sally, Allen broke the ice with a brace of free throws and Engleman followed with a long two hander and a left-handed setup to give the locals an apparently safe lead.
Tigers Come Back
But this was just about as long as the Jayhawkers lead ever was throut the contest. Guard Loren Mills banged in a low one from midcourt, and after another Allen charity toss. Gregg made two good on Kline's mistake and the Tigers were back in the ball game.
Goals by Allen and Johnny Kline and a free throw by Hall forged the Jayhawkers far in the van again, but Bangert canned his free throw and Gregg and Evans slipped in a pair of fielders to pull the invaders close with seven minutes left.
Allen and Engleman gave the Jay-
hawkers an 18-12 halftime lead, with a pair of beautiful righthanders and a free throw, which offset another long one by Mills.
Bengals Tie It
Gregg and Engleman exchanged goals as the last half opened then the Tigers, who came out under full steam, tied things up 20-20 on Watson's setup, a jumping overhead effort by Mills, and two more free throws by the red hot Gregg.
By this time the senior Allen had his water bottle working overtime. He inserted Hunter for the nervous Hall, and the smiling senior responded by southpawing his first recovery to Engleman on the side, who put the Kansans ahead once more.
Gregg rippled the cords from far out to pull the teams all square again, but Engleman, Allen, and Hunter accounted for nine quick points to boost the Red and Blue lead to 31-26 with ten wild minutes remaining.
Gregg Is Superb
The fast flitting Gregg, whom not even the close guarding Allen could subdue, inaugurated the visitors final surge with a weird ninty-degree angle lefthander.
Bobby countered with a free toss and Engleman added a short twohander. Then Keith Bangert, Gregg's front line running mate, suddenly came to life with three quick goals and Gregg, Evans, and Nash interspersed three more to overhaul the now desperate Jayhawkers. Bangert's final heave was a two handed overhead effort which knotted the count at 41-all with only two minutes of playing time remaining.
After two futile goalward thrusts by the Jayhawkers. Hall came thru with his all-important counter, a looping right hand hook and the Engleman-Allen duo manufactured six more points in a final drive that sent the Jayhawkers crowd away happy. Kansas will meet Kansas State at Manhattan in a conference tusile Monday night.

H. ENGLEMAN BOB ALLEN
Hotter than hot in last night's 48-41 Kansas conquest of Missouri were these three court stalwards who kept the net at both ends swishing throughout the hard-fought contest. Engleman showed the way by manufacturing a phenominal 25 point total; Gregg racked up 17 counters and Allen accounted for 16.
The victory pulled the Jayhawks into a first place tie with Oklahoma's Sooners, both of whom will have to make room on the top rung for the winner of the Kansas State-Nebraska tussle tonight in Manhattan.
All three clubs will have two wins and one loss.

Women's Intramurals
By JEAN MILAM
The Kappa basketball machine, Kathryn Hines and Lura Jane Smith, outplayed the Theta's to the tune of 22-14 in last night's feature women's contest. This victory puts the Kappas on top in the sorority bracket.
The T.N.T.'s took a 26-4 beating in last night's game from the I.N.D.'s when Katherine Schaake and Mary Ellen Brown dribbled around the T. N.T. guards to bag most of their 26 points.
Ags Point For K.U.
Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 17—A courageous Kansas State basketball team will attempt to chalk up its first Big Six conference victory over the University of Kansas since the 1936- 37 season at 7:30 Monday night in Nichols gymnasium.
Members of the state legislature have been invited to be special guests of Kansas State college and the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce at the game.
A number of close scores have marked this spirited K-State-K.U. basketball series, but the Jayhawks have held the upper hand. The
Wildcats won 36 to 35 the first year of the Big Six conference. They turned in two victories, 31 to 27 and 15 to 11, in 1932-33, and won 39 to 35 in 1934-35, but these three contests were exhibition affairs. The '37 count was 33-32.
State Hopes High
K-State fans, pepped up over their school's upset victory against Oklahoma, have higher hopes for 1941. They believe they saw an end to K.U. domination forecast last year when Coach Jack Gardner's Wildcats almost turned in a victory at Lawrence, but lost in the closing seconds, 34 to 33.
But the young K-State mentor is not so hopeful. Before the season
started, he predicted the Jayhawks would win the Big Six title. He watched K.U. defeat Iowa State Monday at Lawrence and declared that those two teams were the best in the conference.
"K.U. is faster than a year ago," Gardner said. "The Jayhawks are as strong defensively as they are offensively, and it was only Iowa State's ability to hit long shots that kept the Cyclones in the ball game. Kansas State will have to play its best to beat K.U. Monday." Seeks Scoring Punch
A lack of scoring punch has been a tough problem for Gardner since the season started and he still is (continued to page five)
