Jayhawks sweep pair
Owens favors 30-second rule
By DICK HVALE
Kansan Sports Writer
After KU's 71-41 conquest of Syracuse Saturday night, coach Ted Owens said that he favored the implementation of the 30-second rule in, collegiate games.
Under this rule, which was observed during the Olympic basketball games, a team would have to shoot the ball within 30 seconds after receiving possession or give up the ball to the other team.
"This kind of game (slow, deliberate play) will bring the clock into basketball and I'm 100 per cent for it," Owens said in a post-game interview. "Games like this will drive people away from games," he added.
Owens, however, did not criticize Syracuse coach Roy Danforth for slowing down the pace of Saturday night's game, which marked the death of the Sunflower Doubleheader.
"I'm not faulting their coach," Owens said. "He was using the rules as they are now to his best advantage."
Although KU's pressing defense cracked the Orangemen's stalling tactics, the Jayhawks did not pull away from Syracuse until the closing minutes of the first half.
Season's Greetings
from
HENRY'S
The holiday season means good times,good cheer,and good food. So remember,for the finest food come to Henry's.
With 10:01 remaining in the half, Syracuse guard John Suder scored on a driving layup to trim KU's lead to 8-4.
The Jayhawks, aided by the accurate shooting of forward Dave Robisch, slowly walked away from the Orangemen and walked into the locker room with a 24-14 halftime lead. Robisch, who hit on eight of nine field goal attempts, scored 20 points in the game.
Syracuse sped up the pace a little in the second half but could not keep pace with the high-powered Jayhawks. Jo Jo White, the game's top scorer with 22 points, drove in for a layup and added a free throw to increase the spread to 38-21 with 14:33 left.
Eight minutes later White engineered a short but explosive spurt that received the resounding cheers of 14,000 fans in Allen Field House and a request for a timeout by the Syracuse coach.
The 6-3 guard dribbled down the court and banked in a 10-foot jump shot for one of his two buckets during the spurt. He stole the ball and drove in for a lavup for his other basket.
This nine-point surge, which occurred during a 62-second time span, armed the Jayhawks with a overwhelming 61-34 lead. KU subs played the remaining five minutes of the game.
Kansas overcame an early lead to defeat Creighton 78-65 Friday night in the opening game of the Sunflower Doubleheader played in K-State's Ahearn Field House.
Trailing by as much as five points during the first half, the Jayhawks rallied to take the lead just before intermission. KU steadily padded its 32-28 halftime margin in the second half.
Bob Portman, Creighton's
sharpshooting forward, directed the Bluejays' attack with his 27-point performance. Phil Harmon, the Jayhawks' leading scorer, finished the game with 16 points.
"It enhances enjoyment rather than diminishes it; it increases comprehension rather than diminishes it; it insists on thorough concentration and minimizes mind wandering. It does not affect appreciation of the author's style."
