Cincy Halts Winning Streak
By Jim Gardiner
Kansas 'Cinderella basketball team ran into the midnight closing hour when it lost the Midwest NCAA regional playoff to Cincinnati by an 82-71 verdict Saturday night at Manhattan.
After downing Texas 90-81 Frida night to gain the final round, the Jaws gave Cincinnati a great battle until the last ten minutes of the championship contest.
After Cincinnati jumped off to an
early six point lead, the Kansans overcame the deficit and the two teams battled for the lead for the rest of the first half and all but the final six minutes of the last period.
It was Oscar Robertson who kept the Bearcats in the game in the first period and finally put them ahead in the final minutes.
Robertson hit 43 points to take game honors but his importance did not stop there. His rebounding in clutch situations and his amazing
By Warren Haskin
Kansas basketball players and fans can sit back and relax now, the pressure is off. No longer do the players have to sit in the dressing room before a game knowing they have to win or the season is over.
The loss finally came. After winning three straight games that were labeled "do or die," the Jays ran up against a team from Cincinnati that was not to be denied the opportunity to go to the NCAA finals. However, the Bearcats did not impress this writer as being "great" as many experts around the country have tagged them.
Cincinnati has a good team, but great — no! Oscar Robertson might be classified as being great. He will have to hustle every second if he intends to stand his own in the pro ranks with the other big men.
Kansas almost proved to the world Saturday night that Cincy is not a great team. The Bearcats had to post a 50 per cent shooting average to beat a team that was not even ranked in the top 20 across the nation.
Cincy Good
Coach Dick Harp added to this point when he said after the game, "Cincy is a good balletclub, possibly they are great, but California will give them a rough game if they do meet in the finals."
The Kansas coach said, "Hogue gave the Bearcats the lift they needed in the closing minutes of the game. When he came in, our boys just ran out of gas and couldn't get the rebounds when we needed them. He broke our rebounding
Harp was speaking matter-of-factly Saturday night as he talked with reporters about the game. He felt the difference in the see-saw battle was the performance of Paul Hogue, and the fact that KU finally reached the point of exhaustion.
Volleyball Action Starts 2nd Week
Intramural volleyball action swings into its second week today when all divisions of the "A" leagues begin play.
Fraternity "B" divisions also begin their second week of play today. The Fraternity "C" divisions return to action tomorrow as do the Independent "B" divisions.
In Fraternity "A" action last week Phi Gamma Delta moved into an early lead with a 2-0 record. In the other division of the Fraternity "A" league, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Upsilon jumped off to the league lead with identical 2-0 marks.
Delta Upsilon, Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega have 2-0-marks to lead the three Fraternity "B" divisions.
Carruth holds a 2-0 record in Division I of the Independent "A" league while the Hawks lead Division I with a 1-0 mark.
In the Independent "B" league the Educators, Sigma Gamma Epsilon and the Delta Functions emerged from the first week's play with 1-0 records.
ability to pass to teammates at just the right second were just as devastating to the Jayhawkers' hopes for an upset as his scoring ability.
domination which played an important part in the game.
"Hogue is big and strong. We just plain tired in the closing minutes after he came in which cost us the game."
Harp Dejected
The Jays playing in their fourth game in six nights, looked like they were California-bound for most of the game, but the week's activity began to show its effect in the last ten minutes of the game.
It was obvious that Harp was dejected but still pleased with his team. He spoke with a sense of pride whenever one of his players was mentioned
In answering a question about Wayne Hightower, Harp said, "He played as good a game as any he's played before."
In speaking to Wayne after the game, he said, "Cincy is a good team, but we might have beaten them if we just hadn't run out of gas. The four games this week finally caught up with us. Our shots the last eight minutes were all close, but just wouldn't drop in. As for myself, I know I just wore out."
Bill Bridges was another Jayhawker who felt the four games played in the past week played an important part in the Cincinnati game.
"Those games we played were just too much, but still I think we should have beaten them. I don't feel that Ciney is that much better than we are."
Bridges sat and stared at his locker as writers, coaches, fans and players stopped to tell him, "nice game, Big Bill." The 1-5 Jayhawker looked up to say thanks, then resumed staring at his locker again.
Just Wait
It was a dejected dressing room, but from what most of the players said, they are looking forward to next year when they can show the Bearcats and everyone else.
The Cincy game climaxed an up and down season for the Jays, one which saw possibly the greatest comebacks in the history of the Big Eight. It was a rough game to lose, but the Kansas players can be proud of the tremendous showing they exhibited against the No. 1 team in the country.
However, as one looked around the room, one realized that a few players such as Bob Hickman won't be back next year. This was their last college game.
The feeling among many fans as they left the game was that the Jayhawkers had proven their right to represent the conference in the regionals, and had done a good job in doing so.
This fact was shown earlier when Coach Harp, who earlier had been named coach-of-the-year in the Big Eight, was given a standing ovation as he was introduced after the game.
Wayne Hightower and Bill Bridges led the Jav Hawkers in scoring with 22 points apiece. The same two were the backbone of the Kansas rebounding corps. Al Correll provided the surprise of the game as he hit ten points for a career high.
Correll took over the job of guarding Robertson in the second half after Hightower had picked up three fouls guarding the Big O in the first period. Both Hawkers did a good job of holding the Cincinnati star. They stopped him from scoring from outside but could not find a way to stop his short jump shots and lay-ups from under the basket.
Hogue got into foul trouble early in the game and did not see much action until the second half was under way. He picked up his fourth foul and again had to leave the game.
Ohio State and New York University in the quest for the national championship.
When the Bearcats fell behind by six points, Hogue returned to the contest and provided the needed spark to put Cinney back into the game and out in front to stay.
Besides Robertson's scoring and the telling effect of playing four games in a week, the deciding factor in the game was Cincinnati's sophomore center Paul Hogue.
In Friday night's contest, the Jays overcame a decided height advantage and the hot shooting of the Texan's Jay Arnette to take a 90-81 victory.
Hightower was the big gun for the Jays as he hit 34 points to lead the Kansans and tie Arnette for game honors. Bridges was the work horse for the Hawks as he fought the taller Texans for rebounds and kept them from driving through the middle for easy lav-ups.
The Jayhawkers capitalized on the Texas soils as they hit 28 of 37 free throws to provide the difference in scoring. The Texas soils cost the Longhorns their two centers midway in the second half.
Cincinnati now moves to the NCAA finals in San Francisco next Friday. The Bearcats join California,
The championship tournament will feature a battle of the big men as Robertson, Darrell Imhoff of California and Jerry Lucas of Ohio State try to carry their respective teams to the National Championship.
