KU NCAA History Focused On 1952
Kansas will carry a glossy 10-3 all-time NCAA tournament record into the NCAA regional playoffs this weekend in Dallas, Texas.
The Jayhawkers, rated No. 2 in the nation, have made four previous appearances in the NCAA tournament. The highlight of those four appearances came in 1952, when they won the tourney and had seven members of the championship squad representing the U.S. in the Olympic games.
KU's first appearance in the NCAA was in 1940. Sparked by Howard Engelman, the Jayhawkers advanced through the regional playoffs without a defeat, but lost to Indiana. 60-42 in the finals.
The 1942 Kansas squad gained third place in the Western playoffs, after losing in the first round to Colorado, 46-44.
Many persons consider 1052 the highlight of Jayhawker basketball history. Clyde Lovellette KU hook shot artist, led the Kansans to the NCAA title in Seattle. The Jayhawkers opened their tournament play that year by beating TCU, 68-64, and St. Louis, 74-55, in the regional playoffs.
KU then coasted by Santa Clara. 74-55, in the first round of the finals and experienced little difficulty in trouncing St. Johns, 80-63, in the NCAA finals to become the only Jayhawker team ever to capture the title.
Lovellette Set Record
Lovellette set a new tournament scoring record, by scoring 141 points in the four tournament games. But he was ably supported by a cast which helped win the Olympic basketball title the same year. Starting with Lovellette on the 1952 championship squad were Bill Lienhard, Bob Kenney, Bill Hougland and Dean Kelley.
Under the coaching of Dr. F. C. Allen, the 1952 squad compiled a 28-3 season record. Lovellette still holds the Jawhawkmer season scoring record with 886 points and ranks as the highest scorer in Jayhawkmer history, hitting 1,979 points in his 3-year career for the Crimson and Blue.
KU almost scored a repeat in the
1953 tournament, but lost to their 1940 conquerers, Indiana, in the finals of the NCAA, 68-69. B. H. Born ably filled the shoes of the graduated Lovellette to spark the Kansas squad to another fine year in glittering KU basketball history.
In their four appearances in the NCAA tournament, the Jayhawkers now rank sixth percentage-wise in the all-time NCAA basketball standings with a .769 percentage. San Francisco tops the list with an unblemished 9-0 record in tournament play.
Three Teams Win Two
Three Teams Win Two Kentucky has appeared eight times in the NCAA to lead all teams in that category. Kentucky, Oklahoma A&M and San Francisco are the only schools who have won two NCAA titles in the 18-year history of the tournament.
This year the Jayhawkers face one of the toughest tests in the opening round when they meet the Southwest Conference champions, Southern Methodist University. St. Louis faces either Oklahoma City University or Loyola of New Orleans in the other game of the regional playoffs Friday.
But this year's company, led by all-American Wilt Chamberlain, has the capabilities to annex the second national championship for KU. Chamberlain is supported by a cast which includes Gene Elstun, Ron Loneski, Maurice King, John Parker, Lew Johnson and Bob Billings who have helped the Jayhawkers compile a 21-2 season's record.
The only two losses were to Iowa State, 39-37, at Ames and Oklahoma A&M, 56-54, at Stillwater. Both winning buckets were scored just as the buzzer sounded ending the game.
The Olympic team of 1952 lost by 17 points to K-State at Manhattan and by 4 to Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater. The third loss was to the Peoria Cats, 62-60, in the Olympic playoffs.

NOW YOU CAN BE YOUNGER THAN SHE IS!
It's a scientific fact that girls reach emotional maturity earlier than boys. For this reason freshman girls decline to make romantic alliances with freshman boys.
Thus, the freshman boys are left dateless, and many's the night the entire freshman dorm sobs itself to sleep. An equally damp situation exists among upper-class girls. With upperclassmen being snapped up by freshman girls, the poor upper-class girls are reduced to dreary, manless evenings of Scrabble and home permanents.
True, there is something of an age differential, but that need not matter. Take the case of Albert Payson Sigafoos and Eustacia Vye.
There is a solution for this morbid situation - a very simple solution. Why don't the two great have-not groups find solace with one another?
Albert Payson, a freshman in sand and gravel at Vanderbilt University, was walking across campus one day, weeping softly in his loneliness. Blinded by tears, he stumbled upon the supine form of Eustacia Vye, a senior in wicker and raffia, who was collapsed in a wretched heap on the turf.
"I'm sorry, lady," said Albert Payson and started to move on. But suddenly he stopped, struck by an inspiration. "Lady," he said, "you're miserable because you can't get a date. So am I. So why don't we date each other?"
"Why don't you watch where you're going, you squirt?" said Eustacia peevishly.
"Surely you jest!" cried Eustacia, looking with scorn upon his youthful head and body.
"Oh, I know I'm younger than you are," said Albert Payson, "but that doesn't mean we can't find many splendid things to do together."
"Like what?" asked Eustacia.
"All right then," said Albert Payson, "we could go down to the pond and skip some stones and maybe catch a few frogs."
"Well," said Albert Payson, "we could get a third and play some one-o-cat."
"Bah!" said Eustacia, grinding her teeth.
"Ugh!" said Eustacia, shuddering her entire length. "How about some run-sheep-run?" he suggested.
"You are callow, green, and immature," said Eustacia, "and I will thank you to absent yourself at once!"
Sighing, Albert Payson lit a cigarette and started away.
"Stay!" cried Eustacia.
"Was that," she asked, "a Philip Morris you just lit?" "What else?" said Albert Pavson.
"Then you are not immature!" she cried, clasping him to her clavicle. "For to smoke Philip Morris is the very essence of wisdom, incontrovertible proof that you know rich, natural pleasure from pale, poor substitutes! Albert Payson, I am yours!"
And today they are married and run one of the biggest wicker and raffia establishments in Blue Earth, Minnesota.
