Buffs Edge Kansas For 2nd in Big Eight
The Colorado Buffaloes overcame a 27-point effort by KU's Al Donaghue to gain sole possession of second place in the Big Eight by defeating the Jayhawkers before a nation-wide television audience Saturday afternoon, 65-64.
Although Kansas led by five points once in the second half the Buffaloes jumped ahead to stay on a field goal by Gerry Schroeder with a little over three minutes left in the game.
Russ Lind hit 21 and Schroeder dropped in 15 for the winners from the outside in the Buffaloes' balanced attack, KU, on the other hand, had to rely on Donaghue's 27 points and Bill Bridges, who hit 18 beneath the basket.
With a little over four minutes left, Donaghue put KU ahead 59-58.
The scrappy Jayhawkers came back after the game was tied 34-34 at the half to gain a five point lead early in the first half.
But Schroeder added four quick points and the Euffs were ahead by three. Loneski sank one from the post and CU's Musciano added two points to keep Colorado in the lead. Then with 16 seconds left to play Schroeder calmly hit two throws amid KU cat calls and whistles to ice the game.
Both teams saw cold nights from the free throw line as KU hit only 53 per cent and the Buffaloes dropped in 58 per cent. Kansas had 34 per cent and CU got 36 per cent from the field.
The Jayhawkers finished the game without Bridges, who got his fifth foul with 6:11 left in the game, on foul, in the last inning.
The Jayhawkers will meet Oklahoma in Allen Field House Wednesday.
HAPPY 2ND SEMESTER!

'John Brown' Returns
A 6-foot 8-inch Chicago basketball player named John Brown has enrolled here for the second semester. While he will not be eligible for freshman basketball, he will be able to play next year with the varsity.
"All we know is that he is big and can jump a little." Jerry Waugh, freshman basketball coach, said today. He said Brown had been in the service until about a year ago.
"Brown visited the University last summer and told us he was interested in playing for KU. We are unable to give him a scholarship because we do not know enough
about him yet. When he didn't enroll the first semester we thought he wasn't coming," Waugh said.
