KU Leads SMU 9-2 In All Time Competition
The Kansas Jayhawkers come up against SMU's Jim Krebs and company tonight in their first game in the Western regionals at Dallas. SMU won the same regional at Lawrence last year.
This will be the twelfth meeting between the two teams in sporadic competition going back to 1939. Kansas leads in the series, 9-2.
The first games took place in 1933 at Dallas. The Jayhawkers were led by the high scoring Bill Wesche, and won both games, 46-40 and 52-45.
The most recent meetings took place last year when the Ponies went on to capture fourth place in the NCAA tournament. The two games were played on a home and home basis.
In the first meeting last year at Dallas, SMU utilized its fast break style of offense and some hot shooting to defeat the Jayhawks. 81-61.
The two teams played both games at Dallas in 1952. The KU starting lineup at the time consisted of Bill Hougland, Bill Lillehard, Bob Kenney, Dean Kelley, and Clyde Loulette.
At the return meeting in Allen Field House, however, the Jayhawkers threw up a surprise zone defense against the Ponies and stopped them, 62-58. This was one of only four SMU defeats in 1955.
In 1553 the famous "Cinderella" five composed of Dean and Allen Kelley, Harold Patterson, Dick Reich and B. H. Born downed SMU in two games played in Hoch Auditorium. 83-66 and 72-55.
1953 KU Team Takes Both
KU Takes All
This was the year that Kansas went all the way to win the NCAA championship at Seattle. In the finals the Jayhawkers rolled over St Johns, the pride of the east, by a score of 80-63.
This same Kansas team, with its ball hawking defense and never-say-die spirit, went on to place second in the NCAA tournament behind Indiana.
The Jayhawkers smothered the Ponies, 74-51, in the first game. The second game, however, was much closer as Lovellette fouled out early in the first quarter and KU held on to win. 58-57.
A return battle could be staged this year in the same setting. If the Jayhawks get by SMU, and if the Billikens defeat Oklahoma City University, they will meet Saturday night in the regional finals.
At the Western regional playoffs in Kansas City, Lovellette led a Kansas victory over the St. Louis Billikens by hitting 44 points. KU won the game 74-65.
In 1947 the Jayhawks came up against SMU in the finals of the Big Seven tournament at Kansas City. SMU was the guest team, and became one of only two visitors to
win the tournament by defeating KU, 49-46.
Hoch Auditorium was the scene for both games again in 1940. KU won the games, 63-31 and 49-37. Kansas placed second in the NCAA championship, again to Indiana. The finals were held in Kansas City and the Jayhawkers came out on the short end of a 60-42 score.
KU, Tar Heels Picked By UP
North Carolina's "Iron Men" and Kansas' Wilt Chamberlain and Co., the nation's No. 1 and 2 teams, were favored to win the key games tonight in the second round of the NCAA's big basketball tournament.
Carolina, playing its fifth game in the last nine days and relying on its five starters to carry the load, was a solid pick over Canius at Philadelphia as it sought its 29th straight victory of the season—which would tie an all-time college record.
Here's the lineup for the other second round games:
At Philadelphia—Syracuse (17-6) favored over Lafayette (22-3) despite the Leopards' 16-game winning streak.
At Lexington, Ky. — Kentucky (22-4), the nation's No. 3 team, picked over Pittsburgh (16-9) to open its drive for a fourth NCAA crown; Notre Dame (19-7) picked to repeat a regular season win over Big Ten co-champion Michigan State (14-8).
At Dallas-St. Louis (19-7) a slight choice over taller Oklahoma City (18-8).
At Corvallis, Ore.-PCC champion California (20-4) favored over Skyline champ Brigham Young (18-8); defending champion San Francisco (19-6) favored over Idaho State (25-2) to open its drive for a third straight NCAA title.
