KU Falls to Third Place After 65-53 Loss to Buffs
The Jayhawkers never lost last night as Colorado raced to a 38-24 halftime lead and held on after intermission to win 65-53 at Boulder.
The victory left the Buffaloes with a 6-3 record in the Big Eight and gave them undisputed possession of second place behind Kansas Stace. KU slipped into a third place tie with Oklahoma. Both teams are now 5-4.
Coach Dick Harp's crew improved in the last 20 minutes and gradually sliced Colorado's lead. KU trailed by only 5 points, 50-45 with 10 minutes left.
The Buffalooes jumped to an 8-1 lead in the first few minutes on the shooting of 6-2 Russ Lind. The Jayhawkers were cold before the intermission, hitting only 7 of 37 field goal attempts.
Colorado chilled that threat when Mack Mansfield and Don Walker hit fielders. Walker added a pair of free throws to pad the Buffs' lead.
The Jayhawkers had one more
rally as Bob Billings and Bill Bridges connected to cut the deficit to 56-51. Then Colorado's Gerry Schroeder scored and the Buffs coated in.
Al Donaghue led Kansas with 17 points, 15 in the second half. Ron Loneski had 15, but was held to only three after the intermission.
Bob Hickman stuck to the Buffs' Schroeder, their leading scorer, and held him to 6 points. KU hit only 17 of 62 attempts from the floor for a 27.4 shooting average. Colorado sank 23 of 65 for a 35.4 average. Kansas led in rebounds 50-48. In other conference games, the Kansas State Wildcats, rated third best in the nation, won their 10th conference game last night against no losses as they downed Oklahoma 75-55. Oklahoma State staged a strong comeback to whip Iowa State 59-54.

Colorado has five more games on its schedule and K-State has three. Colorado needs to win all its remaining games to pull a championship out of the fire. Kansas State would have to lose all its remaining games in order to wind up in second place.
Forward Bob Boozer, K-State's All America candidate, scored 21 points to lead the Wildcats against Oklahoma. He was ably supported in front court by forward Wally Frank and Ced Price who each collected 16.
Kansas State's towering front line had little trouble controlling the backboards and limited Oklahoma shooting mainly to far out.
ST. LOUISE — (UPI) — Second baseman Red Schoendienst of the Milwaukee Braves will undergo removal of the diseased section of his tuberculosis-infected lung Thursday at a sanitarium here. The veteran infielder's physician said he was "optimistic" that surgery would mean Schoendienst could resume his baseball career, halted abruptly by the disease last fall.

Spartans Whip Northwestern

Michigan State moved closer to the Big Ten conference championship and a berth in the NCAA basketball tournament today, while Auburn looked ahead to placing its 30-game victory streak on the line against Kentucky later this week.
Michigan State opened a two-game lead in the Big Ten race by turning back Northwestern, 71-68. The seventh-ranked Spartans need only two victories in their remaining four games to win the conference title.
Auburn, barred from any postseason appearance, displayed amazing shooting in its final tuneup for Kentucky by downing Tulane, 79-56. The sixth-ranked Tigers converted 31 of 53 shots from the field and added 17 of 22 free throws in soaring their 30th straight victory.
Purdue provided the Spartans with an important boost by knocking off Indiana, 94-89, and tying the Hoosiers for second place. Michigan State plays Purdue Saturday and then takes on Indiana the following weekend.

With the beginning of the end of the intramural basket-season in sight, the senior class has issued a challenge to determine the class supremacy in basketball.
It will be remembered that the seniors issued the same type of challenge at the end of the intramural football season and successfully won the title on a touchdown pass in the last two minutes in the final game.
The Senior Sporting Events Committee will meet tonight to pick the teams. The four teams will be composed of the top intramural players, nominated by the house intramural chairmen and the referees of the games. Twelve to 15 players will be chosen for each team.
The tournament will begin Wednesday, Feb. 25, with the sophomores playing the juniors and the seniors meeting the freshmen. The finals will be played in Allen Field House on Friday night preceding the Kansas State game.
Senior class president Bill Witt said if any of the houses have not turned in recommendation lists of two outstanding players in each class, they may do so by contacting Howard Johnson at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house before 7:00 p.m. tonight.
The seniors will have their own seating section for the game, complete with the added color of their own cheer leaders. At the end of the game they will present a trophy to the outstanding senior player.
