Balanced Attack Leads To 85-75 KU Victory
A balanced team scoring attack kept Kansas ahead throughout the game despite one of the most exciting one-man performances in history against a Jayhawk squad as Coach Dick Harp directed his second place team to a free-wheeling 85-75 win last night over Iowa State at Ames.
The KU team effort resulted in all five starting players scoring at least 10 points apiece while Cyclone forward Henry Whitney tied the second best scoring output against KU.
the courageous 34-point scoring turbulence of Whitney equalled
former ISU star Chuck Duncan's total in 1954 but fell below the 38 point total of Dick Knostmar of Kansas State in 1952. He also set a single game mark for I-State forwards.
WHITNEY KEPT the Cyclone offense churning as he led his team's scoring and rebounding before fouling out with two minutes left in the game. The 6-7 senior, playing his last college game, prevented KU from repeating the lopsided score of 90-59 in the last encounter.
The victory left KU one game behind the Kansas State Wildcats with
one game left for both teams. KU's conference record is 10-3. K-State leads the league with a 11-2 record.
Bridges, the KU center, sparkled in his usual role as the leading Kansas rebounder, grabbing 19, putting him only five shy of capturing his third league rebounding title. The 225-pound senior also added 19 points to the winning cause and was the team's second highest scorer. Hightower scored 23.
Easton Pleased With Kansas' Performance at Indoor Meet
By Steve Clark
"Our boys performed magnificently under fire. That is the real mark of champions." These were the words of a happy track coach, Bill Easton, in describing his Kansas Jayhawks' victory at the Big Eight indoor track meet Saturday.
THE HAWKS, define underdogs, defeated favored Oklahoma Sooners, the defending Big Eight champions, 61-34 to return the crown to KU after a year's absence. The KU trackmen have won 10 of the last 11 indoor championship meets.
"When the blue chips were down we scored in every event except the shot put and broad jump," Easton continued. "If Bob Albright hadn't been injured he would have placed in the shot. We lost both of our broad jumpers at the semester because of grades.
"IT WAS A LONG, UPHILL fight for our boys to win the championship. Last year at graduation, we lost our most outstanding stars. At the semester, we lost more valuable men. I'm pleased to be associated with a group of boys who gave their best while an underdog.
"We went into the finals nine points down and were able to win it. It shows that the odds are never so great but will and desire can overcome them. This is our theme."
Easton singled out for special praise, the come-from-behind performances of Kirk Hagan and Larry McCue. Hagan, in the 1,000-yard run, was trailing at the start of the last lap but pulled out to whip OU's Buddy Stewart and make it a KU sweep in the long runs.
McCUE, AFTER a bad start,
surged ahead of Kansas State's Rex
Stucker, in the last thirty yards to
win the 60 yard dash.
McCue's comeback kept Stucker from becoming one of the few men to win three first places in a conference meet. Stucker was the meet's only double winner, taking both hurdle events.
In conclusion, Easton described the victory as a "team effort" and the points picked up by the Jay-hawkers as "team points." Unlike

With 4:40 remaining in the first half Bridges connected on a short jump shot for his 1,000th career point which makes him the only player in conference history to reach this mark in both scoring and rebounding.
Correll, a 6-3 forward, and Ellison, a 6-1 guard, both tallied 15 points. These performances marked a new career high for Correll and a tie for career high for Ellison. Ellison's alert backcourt play accounted for most of the seven intercepted Cyclone passes.

this were the Oklahoma State Cowboys who won the most first places, five, but were unable to compile a team effort.
JERRY GARDNER SCORED 10 points and Dee Ketchum tallied three to complete the Jayhawk scoring.
OKLAHOMA STATE finished with 32 points, to tie for third with Missouri.
Hightower and Bridges pushed the Jayhawks into the lead scoring nine of KU's first 11 points in the first four minutes of the game. But, KU never opened a margin greater than the winning 10 point spread, accomplishing this three times.
KU's next meet will be the Kansas State Indoor Relays March 17 in Manhattan. This weekend Coach Easton will take five men to the Chicago Daily News Invitational meet. Running on the two mile relay team will be Kirk Hagan, Gordon Davis, Bill Thornton, and Bill Dotson. Billy Mills will be entered in the two mile run.
KU will end the season Saturday when it meets Missouri at Columbia in a nationally televised afternoon game.

Kansas State Fourth
Kansas State has moved up to fourth place in the latest United Press International basketball ratings. Ohio State is still first.
The first KU basketball player to be selected as an All America was Tommy Johnson, a guard from Lawrence on the 1909 Jayhawker squad. The most recent was Wilt Chamberlain who was chosen on the 1957 and 1958 All America teams.
Getting the Aces
LAFAYETTE. La. — (UPI) — Jay Hebert scored holes-in-one on two successive rounds of the 1950 El Paso Open. He aced the 201-yard 10th hole in the third round and the 170-yard third hole the following day in the fourth round.
Wilt Chamberlain, Kansas All America in 1957-58, holds two Allen Field House marks. Chamberlain scored the most free throws against Nebraska and collected 36 rebounds against Iowa State.
"LOVE IN REVERSE"
They met. His heart leapt. "I love you," he cried.
"Me, too. hev." she cried.
"I tell me," he cried, "are you a girl of expensive tastes?" "No. heav, she" cried, "I am a girl of simple tastes."
"Good," he cried, "for my cruel father sends me an allowance barely large enough to support life."
"Money does not matter to me," she cried. "My tastes are simple, my wants are few. Just take me riding in a long, new, yellow convertible and I am content."
"Goodbye," he cried, and ran away as fast as his chubby little legs could carry him, for he had no convertible, nor the money to buy one, nor the means to get the money, short of picking up his stingy father by the ankles and shaking him till his wallet fell out.
He knew he must forget this girl but, lying on his pallet at the dormitory, whimpering and moaning, he knew he could not. At last an idea came to him: though he did not have the money
may a convertible, perhaps he had enough to rent one! Hope reborn, he rushed at once to an automobile rental company and rented a yellow convertible for $10 down plus 10¢ a mile, and with many a laugh and cheer drove away to pick the girl.
"Oh, goody," she said when she saw the car. "This suits my simple tastes to a 'T'. Come, let us speed over rolling highways and through bosky dells."
And away they drove. All that day and night they drove and finally, tired but happy, they parked high on a windswept hill. There?" he said.
"Marlboro?" he said.
"Yum yum" she said.
They lit up. They puffed with deep contentment. "You know," he said, "you are like a Marlboro—mild and fresh and relaxing."
"But there is a big difference between Marlboro and me," she said, "because I do not have a Selectrate filter nor do I come in soft pack or flip-top box."
They laughed. They kissed. He screamed.
"What is it, my dear," she cried, alarmed
"Look at the speedometer," he said. "We have driven 200 miles and this car costs 10€ a mile and I have only $20 left." "But that's exactly enough," she said.
"Yes," he said, "but we still have to drive home."
They fell into a profound gloom. He started the motor and backed out of the parking place.
"Hey, look!" she said. "The speedometer doesn't move when you're backing up."
He looked. It was true. "Eureka!" he cried. "That solves my problem. I will drive home in reverse. Then no more miles will register on the speedometer and I will have enough money to pay!"
"I think that's a marvelous idea," she said, and she was right. Because today our hero is in the county jail where food, clothes and lodging are provided free of charge and his allowance is piling up so fast that he will have enough money to take his girl riding again as soon as he is released.
