Jayhawker Fans Fill Auditorium
Kansas City, March 30—(Special) —Swelled by 10-piece K.U. band Jayhawk rooters tonight flocked by hundreds to the Municipal auditorium for the championship battle with Indiana.
Occupying whole section at top of auditorium, the Jay Janes could be heard cheering above the roar of the crowd of 10,000 persons. The fans were wildly partisian for Kansas.
The hotels jammed with K.U. supporters. Dozens of other fans from other Big Six schools were giving moral and vocal support to Kansas. Gov. Payne Ratner and other dignitaries sat in box at center of side court.
Huge telegram with names of Lawrence merchants was read before game's start. Dr. A. J. Anderson presented Coach F. C. Allen with bag of golf balls from Lawrence fans and paid tribute to Jayhawk coach.
Four Jayhawk cheerleaders led virtually everyone in crowd in a booming Rock Chalk following the Alma Mater just before game opened.
Victory Gives Hoosiers U.S. Cage Crown
By Jay Simon, c'40
Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Mo.—(Special)Indiana's red hot Hoosiers couldn't miss tonight as they pushed Kansas' hapless Jayhawkers all over the floor to win, 60-42.
Indiana jumped into the lead at the middle of the first half after trailing during the opening minutes. The Hoosiers spent the rest of the game pulling away. They led at the half 32-19.
Jay McCreary was the hot shot for Indiana with 13 points. Bob Allen led the Kansans with an equal number of points. Howard Engleman was close behind with 12.
Kansas Starts Fast
Kansas started fast and was ahead 10-4 with seven minutes of the game gone. Six minutes later Indiana was ahead 16-14. They were never behind after this point.
At the conclusion of the game Howard Engleman was named as captain of the N.C.A.A.'s All-American selection. Bob Allen was named to the first team. Other members were McCreary, Bill Menke, and Marvin Huffman, all of Indiana.
Kansas Threatens Once
Bruce Voran, Dick Harp and Don Ebling were named on the second team. Paul Armstrong and Andy Zimmer of Indiana made up the remainder of the team. Marvin Huffman was named as the tourney's most valuable player.
Only once during the game did Kansas threaten to overhaul the high flying Hoosiers. That was early in the second half when Bob Allen's net burning shots brought the score up to 37-26.
The game was liberally sprinkled with fouls. Ralph Miller left the contest with five seconds remaining in the first half after committing his fourth personal. Bob Dro and Captain Marvin Huffman of Indiana, were also sent out via the foul route.
Miller Fouls Out
Dick Harp and Bruce Voran were outstanding in their floor games for Kansas. Little Don Ebling and Howard Engleman did trojan work on offensive rebounds, and Bob Allen's smooth passing served nobly in staving off the undeniable drive of the men from Indiana.
