Jayhawks Unhorse Cowboys 58-49
KU started off the new year by winning its first conference tilt last night with a second-half spurt that corralled the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 58-49.
Led by sophomore Bill Bridges and reserve-forward Al Donaghue, the Jayhawkers outshot O-State 33 per cent to 28 per cent and out-rebounded the team 49 to 30.
After a 25-25 halftime deadlock, Bridges blocked an attempted shot by Arlen Clark from the 20-foot mark, sped down the court and dunked a lay-in to put KU ahead 33-28 with 17:57 left in the second period.
The play stirred the crowd and the fired-up Jayhawkers went far ahead. Bridges hit three more fielders and Monte Johnson pushed one in from 20 feet as KU leaped forward to stay.
A small crowd of victory-hungry fans reached a cheering peak at this time. The old time rumble of feet frantically stomping on the steel floor of the balcony shook Allen Field House.
Bridges Fouls Out
Bridges fouled out with 9:16 left in the second period. He still led the KU scoring with 15 points. Al Donaghue got 13, Ron Loneski nine, Bob Hickman seven, Bob Billings six and Dee Ketchum and Monte Johnson four each.

With 4:13 left in the second period, Oklahoma came out in a man-to-man press and KU went into a semi-stall for the rest of the game. In the last 45 seconds, KU made it a keep-away affair by moving the ball continuously until a final shot in the last three seconds.
Bill Bridges had special praise for O-State's big center, Arlen Clark. He also thought Loneski, while not nearing his 21.8 average, played an outstanding passing and rebounding game. Loneski led both teams with 16 rebounds while Bridges grabbed 12.
Wildcats Have Scare
'Good to Win'
In the dressing room following the game there was a general feeling that it "was good to win this one." Al Donaghue said this was the game "that made me feel better than any game this year."
Cowboys' Arlen Clark Tries for Two.
Stubborn Iowa State threw a scare into Big Eight pace setter Kansas State last night before falling on the short end of a 59-56 score.
The third-ranked Wildeats held off a strong Iowa State offensive to come from behind in the second half. The Cyclones, tough on their home court, wrapped a tight defense around celebrated Bob Boozer, allowing him only 18 points.
Kansas State led 31-21 at half-time, but the Cyclones stormed back after the intermission to move in front 46-45 with seven minutes left in the game.

Cincinnati Wins by 1
By United Press International
A single-point margin after two overtime periods saved Cincinnati from what would have been a costly upset—but Michigan State and Purdue were not.
Cincinnati, which tumbled from the No. 1 national ranking all the way to No. 6 after two straight tournament losses last week, found itself faced with a big challenge last night and just barely defeated Bradley, 85-84, to remain the title choice.
But Michigan State, ranked No. 5 nationally, took an 80-68 drubbing from Iowa that could seriously hurt the Spartans' Big Ten hopes. And 15th ranked Purdue was beaten for the second straight game, 77-69, by Indiana.
Ninth-ranked Auburn made it 20 straight (nine this season) by trouncing Mississippi, 60-47; third-ranked Kansas State squeezed out a 53-56 victory over Iowa State; and seventh-ranked Northwestern made shooting accuracy make up for rebounding deficiencies to beat Michigan, 83-78.
National scoring champion Oscar Robertson tallied 28 points to lead the scoring for Cincinnati as it handed Bradley its first defeat of the year after eight wins.
Mike Owens saved Bradley from defeat in regulation time with a basket 38 seconds from the end. Billy Joe McDade saved Bradley in the first overtime with five points in the last 58 seconds. But Ralph Davis' two free throws with eight seconds left in the second session won the game for Cincinnati.
