Chamberlain Fouls Out, Ragged KUWins76-56
Wilton Chamberlain watched the Kansas-Oklahoma basketball game from the bench for 8:56 Monday night in Allen Field House and Kansas, ragged but fired-up, came through with a 76-56 victory over the Sooners.
Chamberlain fouled out of the game in the second half and without him, the team kept hot a resurgence which started shortly before he left.
Johnson Replaces Wilt
Lew Johnson replaced the r-footer, but not especially at center. Johnson galloped over the court, sometimes at center and sometimes at forward, too.
The victory was the third by the Jayhawkers over the Sooners this year. It kept Kansas safely in the Big Seven lead while Kansas State was running roughshod over Nebraska.
The game started smoothly enough with Oklahoma attempting to break up KU's zone with 'quick passes from man to man. The law of averages plus their own clumsiness usually caught up with them, however, and the Sooners often lost the ball before they could even get a shot at the basket.
A few times, their speedy passes completely caught a Jayhawker off guard and they were presented with a clear shot but unfortunately, in their eagerness to devise a method of getting clear shots they forgot to practice shooting. Their first half field goal percentage was only 21 per cent compared to Kansas' 42 per cent.
Billings. Elstun Sparkle
The hero of the night for Kansas was Ron Loneski who scored 28 points, a couple of those on his now famous one-in-a-thousand left handed hook shots.
Bob Billings and Gene Elstun both did an outstanding job for Kansas both offensively and defensively. Billings's floor game sparkled. Twice, after stealing the ball at mid-court he sped down for a field goal.
Maurice King, who scored 10 points, showed real spark at times when his speedy dribbling completely threw off Sooner defenders but he gave the ball away a couple of times, as did Chamberlain.
As for Chamberlain, he was his usual fine self in all departments, generally, although he was caught flat-footed once or twice.
Chamberlain covered his man, Joe King, well in the first half. King only scored two points. But in the second half, as the game kept getting more and more ragged, King tossed in another 13 points.
It was Don Schwall, Sooner forward, who took the scoring honors. Schwall penetrated KU's zone for 14 points in the first half and 16 in the second. His 30 points was more than the rest of the Oklahoma team put together.

Officials Call 42 Fouls
A total of 42 fouls were called in the game, 15 on Kansas and 27 on Oklahoma. Most of these were scored in a hectic second half which saw the crowd of 14,000 set up a continual uproar as soon as Chamberlain fouled out. The din of the crowd duly increased or subsided depending on whether Oklahoma or Kansas was shooting a free throw. The hay score.
