Late KU Splurge Helps Edge Sooners, 59-51
The Kansas Jayhawkers, with the help of a late 12-point outburst, gained their second straight Big Seven conference win, 59-51, over the surprisingly strong Oklahoma Sooners.
Although the Kansans maintained their unbeaten record, the Sooners gave the Jayhawkers their biggest scare since KU defeated Iowa State by one point in the Big Seven tournament. Two Sooner spells during the opening minutes of each half kept the game from being even closer.
The Jayhawkers held a 32-23 halftime lead, but with nine minutes remaining the Sooners tied the score for the first time at 42-42 on Joe King's jump shot. A minute later Bruce Medley hit two free throws to put OU in front, 44-43. Then came the 12-point outburst which provided KU with the winning margin.
11 Straight For KU
The Jayhawkers' victory over Ok-Jahowa was their 11th straight and their second conference win. The Sooners have a 1-1 record in league play with a 4-6 over-all record.
Wilt Chamberlain nabbed scoring honors with 22 points. Chamberlain sank seven field goals and eight of his nine free throws.
Chamberlain was kept busy on the backboards by Oklahoma's Don Schwall, who out rebounded Chamberlain 14-11. As a team the Sooners grabbed 34 rebounds to the Jayhawks 32.
Maurice King, KU guard, was second high scorer on the KU squad with 18 points.
Oklahoma's King and Schwall combined their efforts to hold Chamberlain to 10 points below his season average. Schwall scored 21 points to lead the Sooners. King added 20.

Drop For Illini
Kansas, leading the ratings since the start of the season, was the first-place choice of 28 of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the United Press board. North Carolina and third-ranked Kentucky each attracted three first-place ballots, while fifth-ranked Louisville had one.
With comparatively easy com- petition in store for the leaders, there appeared little prospect of a shakeup in the ratings for at least another week.
With points distributed on a 10-9-
8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis, North Carolina had 288, Kentucky 253, Southern Methodist 236, Louisville 138,
UCLA 136, Iowa State 102, Oklahoma A&M 73, Vanderbilt 69 and Illinois 54.
The coaches based their ratings on games played through Saturday night.
Not only were the teams ranked in much the same order as the previous week, but the point differences between them were altered very little. Kansas' 338 points were only one more than last week and its margin over North Carolina was increased only from 48 to 50 points.
(Kansas also topped this week's Association Press poll, which was announced today. The Jayhawkers polled 82 first place votes out of a possible 93, with North Carolina second. Iowa State was seventh in the AP poll. Monday the International News Service poll also rated the Jayhawkers first.
NEW YORK (UP)—Is this to be one of the most formful college basketball seasons ever? The same four teams remained atop the United Press ratings today for the third straight week, with Kansas and North Carolina 1-2 for the fifth week in a row.
Iowa State Is 7th
UCLA and the Oklahoma Aggies each moved up one notch from last week; Louisville and Iowa State clung to the same rankings.
KU Tops Nation On All 3 Polls
Thirty-five teams received votes this week. San Francisco, the defending national champion, moved up from a tie for 28th place last week.
3 A's Sign Contracts
SOON
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UP)—The Kansas City Athletics roster of signed players for 1957 rose to seven today with the signing of three more players. Returning contracts were veteran pitcher Bobby Shantz and outfielders Johnny Groth and Dave Melton.
Kansas opens its 1957 football schedule with three bowl teams — TCU, again in the Cotton Bowl; Oregon State, the PCC's Rose Bowl representative, and Colorado, the Big Seven's Orange Bowl club.

WED.- THUR.
While the Jayhawkers were battling their way to a hard-earned 59-51 victory over Oklahoma at Norman Monday night, Missouri was pulling the upset of the young league season by thumping the tough Iowa State Cyclones, 77-59, and Nebraska joined the parade by crushing Colorado, 74-52.
Missouri, a team which finished eight in the Big Seven pre-season tournament and a team which KU whipped by a 92-79 count in Lawrence Saturday, led almost all the way in thumping the Cyclones—the club which was figured to be the Jayhawkers' chief competitor for Big Seen honors.
Tigers Are Hot
The Kansas Jayhawkers were perched a bit more comfortably atop the Big Seven basketball race today, thanks to a large helping hand by two of the conference "doormats," Missouri and Nebraska.

Coach Sparky Stalcup's Tigers, who had lost four straight, simply overwhelmed Iowa State. Missouri collected 44.7 per cent of its shots from the field, and the Cyclones couldn't match the torrid pace.
The fine Missouri defense limited Iowa State's great Gary Thompson to only 18 points, while the Tigers were launching a three-pronged scoring assault. Bill Ross fired home 23 points to pace Missouri, and Sonny Siebert added 20 and Lionel Smith 19.
