Tuesday,January 7,1969 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN 5 KU storms past Cyclones By JACK PAULEY Kensan Sports Writer KU paced by the accurate shooting of all five starters, built up a huge lead early in the game and then coasted to a 94-61 victory over Iowa State last night in Allen Field House. The Jayhawks shot 63% on the way to a 51-29 halftime lead, then cooled only slightly and finished with a 53% shooting percentage for the night. Sophomore Dave Robisch was the sparkplug in the first half by sinking numerous close-in shots for 14 points. He added eight more in the second half to lead all scorers with 22 points. "We had great shooting early in the game," coach Ted Owens said, "but I didn't think we were aggressive enough on defense." KU's All-America guard Jo Jo White tormented the Iowa State guards all night with his defensive play, and tallied 12 points on offense for the dawhaws. Owens said he was pleased with the performance of senior Dave Nash, who finished with 18 points (14 in the second half) and a game-leading 11 rebounds. The Jayhawks set a record in the win. Their 43 field goals totaled one more than the previous high scored in 1966 in games against Missouri and Nebraska. Kansas only had seven turnovers in the game, a season low. The win was the 997th in KU history, but the coach said that Kansas' primary goal now was to win the conference championship, and only secondly to be the first team in the nation to win 1000 games. Iowa State's Bill Cain, last year's Big Eight sophomore of the year, led the Cyclone's scoring with 18 points. The only other Cyclone in double figures was Dave Collins who scored 13 points. Everyone on the Jayhawks' roster scored except Roger Brown, who missed the game because of a sprained ankle. Kansas has now posted five consecutive victories over Big Eight teams. Owens said Brown would only be out for two days, and should be ready for Saturday's game with Missouri at Columbia. His replacement, Greg Douglas, scored 10 points in the game. KU beat Nebraska 82-56, Colorado 60-55, and Oklahoma State 56-45 in the Big Eight Tournament to win the championship over Christmas vacation. Two Kansas players, White and Robisch, were named to the all-tournament team. Robisch also was the meet's second leading scorer with 66 points in the three games. The other win came over Nebraska Saturday at Lincoln where the Jayhawks won 56-52 in a defensive struggle. The tournament championship was the fourth for KU in the last five years, and the ninth since the tournament was originated in 1946. Owens has now won four Big Eight tournament championships to tie Tex Winter, the former K-State coach, as the winningest coach of the tourney. The win over Iowa State was Kansas' 12th straight, the longest since the days of Wilt Chamberlain in 1957.

The Rams did not immediately disclose the terms of Allen's new contract but said he would be back again to head the Los Angeles team which had a 10-3-1 record in 1968. At the time of Allen's discharge, Reeves, the majority stockholder, president and general manager of the Rams, said it resulted from a "personality clash." Shortly before New Year's Reeves indicated that he had second thoughts on the action and that he was considering re-hiring Allen. The two men met several times and had a final meeting yesterday morning at A dozen members of the Rams' team reacted indignantly to the firing of a winning coach and a number indicated they would refuse to play for the Los Angeles Rams in 1969 under any other coach. which an agreement was reached.
