Tower's Free Throw Scoots Jays In, 54-53
Wayne Hightower's free throw after the gun sounded notched a 54-33 win over Oklahoma last night as the Javahawks strengthened their second-place standing in the Big Eight.
With four seconds to play and the game deadlocked 53 all on Sooner guard Ray Lewis' 30-foot jump shot, Kansas called time out. When the ball was put in play at mid-court, the Jays worked it in to Hightower who drove to the base line and faked his man into the air.
As the gun sounded, the Sooner defender Warren Fouts crashed down on Hightower for a two-shot foul.
The brilliant Kansas sophomore stepped to the line and sank his first try for the victory margin.
The win gave the Javahawkers a sweep of a doubleheader played in Sooner state territory in the last three days. Saturday the Kansans smashed Oklahoma State's Cowboys, 62-54, to avenge an earlier conference defeat.
Against the Sooners, Kansas took an early lead and appeared to be in trouble until Bill Bridges left the game on fouls with 14:50 left in the second half. At that point Bridges had gathered 13 points and carried the rebounding load for the shorter Jayhawkers.
At that point the score was 34-25 in favor of Kansas, but the Sooners capitalized on the absence of the Kansas defensive stalwart to live up the contest.
While a sagging Oklahoma defense stymed Hightower, who had shifted into the pivot, the Sooners shot in seven of their next eight attempts.
With seven and a half minutes to play, Del Heidebrecht, the big gun of the OU attack with a total of 14 points, tossed in a hook shot to boost Oklahoma into the lead, 43-42. Then Kansas forward Butch Myers countered with a jumper to neutralize the Oklahoma advantage.
As the game drew to a close the OU strategy was aimed at fouling Hightower out of the game by working the ball into Heidebrecht, and letting the tricky Oklahoma go to work on the Kansas sophomore. But Hightower refused to play along. He retaliated by shoving the ball down Heidebrecht's throat five times, fouling the OU star only once.
The shorter Kansas ball club refused to be outhusted on the boards and on the floor in the closing minutes as they went into a delay game, and then with two minutes to go into the deep-freeze offense.
Hightower led the Kansans with 18 points.
Women's Sports Resemble A Three-Ring Circus at KU
By Pat Sheley
A three ring circus has no more laughs than does the women's intramural sports program sponsored by the Women's Recreation Association (W. R. A.).
The second team sport of the year, volleyball, begins tomorrow. Bruises and skinned knees will once again mar the beauty of the University women concerned.
Comedy scores the greatest points as the women try to prove their athletic ability. What is known to men volleyball enthusiasts as a "spike" may well turn into an entanglement of woman and net in there hotly contested games.
Playing with a handicap, long fingernails, the women do manage to handle the ball with amazing agility, and close scoring games are characteristic of the majority of matches. Some teams even come equipped with cheerleaders.
A spectator will occasionally get his or her lumps too. It is not infrequent that a player will leap into the crowd in a frenzied attempt to make a spectacular save of the ball.
Cleveland Signs Catcher Romano
Frank Lane signed one, sold one and sat tight with two, but those two can have a lot to do with whether Cleveland finishes one-two this year.
The player Lane signed was catcher John Romano, obtained this winter from the White Sox for whom he hit 294 last season.
Romano's signing left only three Cleveland players who still hadn't agreed to terms and Lane cut that list to two by selling second baseman Jim Baxes to San Diego of the Pacific Coast League.
Only outfielder Rocky Colavito and pitcher Gary Bell remained unsigned.

Battenfeld cinched a first place tie in Division III of the Independent "A" league and assured itself of a trip to the Hill Play-offs, when Ron Hinkle led the team to a 48-28 rout against Stephenson last night.
DACH HOUSE
Stephenson dropped to second place with a 3-1 mark. The only way Stephension can regain its tie for first is for Foster to beat Battenfeld in the last round of the season.
