LARRY SOPER GRABS REBOUND for Tekes in 38-35 loss to Sig Alphs.
By Warren Haskin
The year 1959 produced many surprises in the sports world such as Ingemar Johansson's lightning-bolt right hand and the Los Angeles Dodgers who became the golden gladiators of the baseball world.
But there were many uncrowned champions during the past year. One of these crowns would have to go to a Minnesota halfback, Neil Bengtson. He sat on the bench for three quarters but finally on the last play of the game, Bengtson got in for an Iowa kickoff. He received the ball, fell to the ground without being touched, and broke his arm.
In the basketball world, an oddity occurred when Elgin Baylor could not report to practice with the Minneapolis Lakers because of a stint with the Army. So the team just packed up and moved their practice sessions to Fort Sam Houston, Tex... to be with him. Everything worked out fine and Baylor's now back with the Lakers.
Wherever Thou Goes
KU fans sat through each Jayhawker football game hoping to see one of John Hadi's long runs which excited TCU fans in the opening game of the campaign. Meanwhile, back in Connecticut, gridiron enthusiasts saw Southern Connecticut College backs run opening kickoffs for touchdowns in three consecutive games.
At least KU football players did not suffer the experience of reaching for the ball and being bitten by a snake like Gil Dowd, a Stanford player.
Last summer, Zeke Bella started in left field for the K. C. Athletics, but many fans noticed he did not go to his position at the top of the second. Zeke forgot to lower his head while entering the dugout and knocked himself out when he hit his head on the roof.
Another baseball oddity came from Baltimore where Hoyt Wilhelm was routed from the mound by a cloud of bugs at Chicago's Comiskey Park. It took insect spray, a bonfire, and a smoke fire to get the game resumed.
Veeck's Still King
These are only a few of the uncrowned champs of 1959, but when 1961 arrives, there certainly will be another group that will capture the award for their performances during this new year.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon squeezed by Tau Kappa Epsilon in the last two minutes of a Fraternity interamural game Friday. With the score tied 35-35 and two minutes remaining, Joe Baxter sank a free throw to give the Sig Alphas a 36-35 lead.
The Tekes with a chance to go ahead lost, the ball on a charging foul with one minute left on the clock. The attempt at the free throw was missed but Lynn Stacy tipped it in for the Sig Alphas. Tau Kappa Epsilon could not score and the Sig Alphas posted a 38-35 victory. Other games in that division saw Phi Kappa Psi down Triangle 56-29 and Beta Theta Pi running over Pi Kappa Alpha 79-17.

Colorado is led by 6-1 senior guard Russ Lind, the only returning regular from last year's club. Lind, who has improved on his 10.1 average from last season, teams with 6-3 Glen Piper at guard, while 6-5 Wilky Gilmage and 6-6 Frank Javerick hold down the forward slots. Roger Voss, a 6-7, low-scoring, good rebounding center, completes the front line.

Coach Dick Harp's cage crew will enter Buffalo country displaying something it lacked in previous games--scoring balance. Last Saturday night the Jayhawkers turned back the Nebraska five by getting a 48-point production from the front line.
Hawkers Stop NU Play Buffs Tonight
Tonight the newly-found balanced scoring attack will be matched against a Colorado team that has been inconsistent in its hardcourt outings this year. Colorado played good ball in its pre-conference games, but is 0-2 in Big Eight play.

Kansas' Jayhawkers, fresh from a 60-47 conquest of Nebraska, go gunning for their second conference win at 9:00 CST tonight against Colorado at Boulder.
Colorado defeated the Jayhawkers twice last year to pull to within seven games of the Kansans in the overall series at 23-60. The Bucks won 66-64 at Lawrence and then out-hustled the Jays 65-53 at Boulder.
