Hawks Are Stone Cold in 66-54 Loss
What head coach Dick Harp termed "a real poor game all-around" was the reason for Kansas' 66-54 defeat Friday by St. John's in New York's Madison Square Garden.
Although the Jayhawkers lost two regulars because of fouls, they were able to rebound on an equal basis with the taller Redmen. However, poor shooting from the field and sloppy ball-handling caused the defeat for the defending Big Eight champions after two wins.
Allan Correll was the first to leave the contest on fouls, departing with 16:17 remaining in the game. This put the Jayhawks at a great disadvantage on the boards. This disadvantage was heightened with the departure of center Bill Bridges with 11:26 to go.
When Correll left, KU was trailing 37-32. KU had come as close as 34-32 after trailing at halftime, 30-27. But from that point it was only a matter of time before the visitors were left behind and the outcome of the game became obvious.
When Bridges left the Hawkers were behind 48-37 and they got no closer than 10 points after that. The winner's biggest margin was 66-48 with two minutes left to play.
It was only in the closing minutes that Kansas was able to cut into the St. John's margin and close the gap.
Although KU operated without the services of Bridges and Correll for most of the game, the final rebounding figure of 55-55 showed fine reserve strength of the Jayhawkers.
From the start, it was obvious that the Jayhawkers could not consistently find the basket. The KU shooting record was a meager 17 for 68, a 20 per cent performance. St. John's couldn't do much better.

hitting on 24 of 60 tries for 29 per cent.
Kansas started quickly and moved to a 10-8 lead and lead throughout most of the early moments. But after leading 15-11, Kansas was shutout while the Redmen rallied to take and keep the lead with 8:52 left in the first half, 16-15.
St. John's, a team which reportedly revolved around the performance of All America forward, Tony Jackson, had a well-balanced attack with each of its front line starters tatalng near the 15 point mark.
St. John's was able to take advantage of the Kansas foul trouble, as it sank 26 of 36 attempts from the foul stripe.
Wayne Hightower maneuvered for 17 first-half points but got little support from his teammates. He cooled off in the final 20 minutes and ended as the only Kansas scorer in double figures, hitting 29 for a season high. Next was junior guard Jerry Gardner with nine.
One of the major problems of the Jayhawkers was with personal fouls. In the first half Correll and Dee Ketchum each had three while Bridges was assessed with four.

Markley said that Mills and Dick Reamon, Topeka junior, were the only KU swimmer who should be happy about their times. Reamon won fourth place in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 58.1 seconds."
"I would call Billy Mills (Topeka, freshman) our outstanding swimmer. Not because of his time, but for the work he's done so far this year—he showed what he could do for us, by qualifying for that 220." Mills captured fourth in the 220 free-style, with a time of 2:16.6.
George Winter, Park Ridge, Ill., freshman took fourth in the 200 and third in the 100-yard backstroke events. He was paced by Tom Stock.
In the second half, with the Redmen defense collapsing on Hightower, the Kansas offense, which had averaged over 90 points per game in the first two outings, was stopped. KU had no effective outside shooter to take the pressure off Hightower as Gardner got only three points in the second half and Ketchum went scoreless for the game.
Tax reported that Chamberlain had implied that problems connected with his being a Negro contributed to his decision to quit the NBA. Tax wrote:

Wilt Chamberlain is a fool if he worries about those people who make capital out of a Negro-white player squabble at a tense moment in a basketball game.
Jeremiah Tax, a Sports Illustrated writer, said this recently when he questioned whether Wilt's implied reasons for quitting professional basketball were wise ones.
Chet Jastremski, University of Indiana, sophomore, won the 100-meter breaststroke at the AAU National Championships last summer, and "he showed us how at S.I.U.," said Coach Markley.

Kansas' freestyle swimmer, All America Eldon Ward, Lawrence junior, took third in the 100 and the 50-yard freestyle. Markley said, "Ward was in the wrong event. He could have won the 220-yard freestyle by about four seconds." Conch Markley felt that Ward was not ready for his freestyle events. "The winner of Ward's two freestyle events was Ray Padovan, S.I.U. sophomore, who is the fastest collegiate free-styler in America!"
"We went to a meet which was entered by Southern Illinois University, Indiana, Illinois Normal, and Western Michigan — all strong swimming schools," KU Coach Jay Markley said. "As the meet turned out, it became a dual meet between Indiana and Southern Illinois University, with a few entries from Kansas."
Markley was pleased with a few of his swimmer's performances, but admits that some others were not in the right mental attitude for the meet. "We've been going for two months, and we needed some good competition before the Christmas vacation. This S.I.U. Meet, was the best one in the country, and it was great experience for our swimmers."
