Sluggish Kansas Suffers Defeat
Coach Dick Harp echoed a time-proved axiom following the Jayhawkers' 60-73 loss to the Denver Pioneers last night:
"If you can't get that ball through that hoop,you can't win a ball game."
A small crowd of 5,500 fans saw the graphic demonstration of that rule last night. The Jayhawkers, making 74 field goal attempts, were able to push only 18 of them through. The result was a 24 per cent field goal average.
Denver, on the other hand, seemed to have no trouble in finding the goal. The Pioneers hit 33 of 75 attempts (or a 44 per cent average.
The Pioneers, playing a double post against the Kansas zone, slashed through the Kansas defense with bewildering speed and accuracy.
The Jayhawkers looked extremely slow and awkward on both offense and defense. Seemingly dazzled by the Denver squad, they fell behind by as much as 18 points once in the second half.
Coach Harp used 13 men in an effort to find the right team which could stop the flow of Denver goals. But Bob Grinstead and Steve LaSatz, both 6-feet 7-inches tall, continued to dominate the backboards for the Pioneers.
When the Kansas defense tightened up in the second half to prevent shots from under the basket, Denver pounded away from the outside with quick, accurate shots.
The only place Kansas came out on top was in individual scoring honors. Ron Loneski was high man with 21 points. But this total came only on six field goals with 33 misses and nine of 17 field goal tries.
Bob Billings was second high for the Jayhawkers with 13 points; Bob
Students Will Run Torch to Florida
MARSHALL, Mo. — (UPI) Sixty students of Missouri Valley College will help carry a lighted victory torch on a marathon run to Orlando, Fla., where the school's football team meets East Texas State College in the Tangerine Bowl on Dec. 27.
The runners will leave Marshall at 5 p.m. on Dec. 18. They expect the run to take seven days, putting the torch in Orlando two days before the game.
Hickman, playing in the backcourt with Billings, collected eight points.
For Denver, the scoring was nearly all the work of Doug Campbell, Bob Grinstead and Steve Lee. Campbell had 16 points, while Grinstead and Lee had 14 each.
The Jayhawkers were the only team to suffer a loss in Big Eight Conference intersectional play last night.
Missouri went into an overtime to guard Vanderbilt a 78-72 defeat. The teams were knotted 69-all at the end of regular play.
Oklahoma came on fast after trailing momentarily and downed Iowa, 80-57. The Sooners hit 52 per cent of their shots from the field—the big difference in the victory over the Big Ten team.
Iowa State made a victim of a second Big Ten squad, Minnesota. The Cyclones exploded for five points in the final five minutes for an 81-75 double overtime win.
Six thousand screaming fans saw Nebraska upset Marquette, 62-60 at Lincoln. Marquette had beaten Illinois and Wisconsin, and considered the undefeated Cornhuskers easy prey.
Colorado had the easiest evening of any team in the conference. It downed Montana 82-55.
