LAST GAME—KU's Bill Bridges, playing his last game in Allen Field House, is shown battling Oklahoma's Jack Lee for a rebound as Wayne Hightower and Brian Etheridge watch.
Fouls Decisive As KU Wins
Kansas, sparked by Al Correll and Bill Bridges, turned 30 Oklahoma personal fouls into 29 points and routed the Sooners in the final game of the season in Allen Field House last night, 81-56.
Only Brian Etheridge fouled out, midway in the second half.
Oklahoma was constantly in foul trouble as it committed fouls at a steady pace throughout the game. It was KU's scoring from the free throw line, although hitting only 62 per cent, which was a big factor as the Jayhawkers kept their title hones alive.
The effective scoring of Correll in the first half kept Kansas continually in front, although only by one to three points.
THE JAYHAWKERS had a tough time getting started, but began to pull away just before halftime.
Correll hit on three field goals and six free tosses for 10 points to lead first half scoring. He finished with 12.
Oklahoma, playing somewhat cautiously, stayed with the second place Hawkers until 4:07 left in the half when KU moved to a 28-23 advantage.
AFTER THIS KANSAS splurge there seemed no doubt as to the outcome of the game. Kansas continued to build its lead, holding a 38-26 intermission margin.
The pace of the game increased somewhat in the first 10 minutes of the second half from its lethargic rhythm of the first stanza as the Jays put forth enough effort and hustle to maintain a sufficient lead.
Using scattered fast breaks to good advantage Kansas put the Sooners out of contention with 10:40 remaining, 57-35.
With Bridges pouring in 14 second half points, and finishing with 23 to lead all scorers in his last game here, Kansas had no trouble outlasting the Sooners despite the sloppy start.
AS KU COACH Dick Harp said after the game, "It was just a matter of time. I knew we would move out ahead, and it was an encouraging feeling."
Individually Bridges was outstanding as he bulled his way through the Sooner defense in the second half to make the difference in the game.
But two tricky backcourt men brought the most applause from the 6,000 fans.
Oklahoma's 5-9 wizard, Eddie Evans, scored only eight points, but they were all netted with long, precision jump shots which barely riffled the webbing.
DEE KETCHUM was a big factor for the Jayhawkers. He was also effective from long range, pumping in line drive jumpers from the corners and setting up the Kansas offensive patterns.
The 6-0 senior, also making his last appearance here, tallied 11 points to be the third highest scorer for KU.
Reserve center Eddie Jackson, a spindly 6-10 sophomore, led the losers' scoring with 13 markers.
Swimming Coach Jay Markley yesterday predicted a third place finish for Kansas in the Big Eight Conference Meet which starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday at Oklahoma.
Favored to win the meet is host Oklahoma, winner the past three years. Coach Markley expects Iowa State to be the only other team with a good chance of beating Kansas.
Last year the Sooners walked away with the meet, totaling 195 points. KU battled for second with 58, to squeeze past the Cyclones who had 55.
"TM PLANNING on a third place finish and anything better would be a great, and pleasant surprise," said Markley in evaluating his team's chances.
"Oklahoma will win because of sheer manpower," said Markley. "They will collect a lot of 'cheap' points because the other teams, with the exception of Iowa State, don't have the numbers to compete on a favorable basis.
"Oklahoma has several good swimmers but it gets a lot of points when its only fair swimmers are able to place third and fourth without too much effort because there is no competition.
Markley Sees Third for KU
"Nobody can do anything about it.
We just have to sit back and watch
"I WOULD LIKE to see teams like Nebraska and Kansas State (who Markley said would have a tough time qualifying anyone) come up with better teams because better balance within the league would lessen Oklahoma's chances of getting these easy points."
Although entering only seven competitors, Markley feels the KU chances are good.
"It is not a question of qualifying
Chemistry, Medics Win in Play-Offs
AAA scored the most impressive victory of the afternoon yesterday in intramural basketball as it downed the Cisabs, 39-23, in the semi-finals of the Independent B play-offs.
The winners of the semi-finals in Independent C play were Jim Beam over JRP, 39-30, and Medies over Botany. 31-22. They will meet at 5:45 p.m. today.
In the other semi-final Chemistry shipped past the Ringers, 36-31, to set the stage for this afternoon's championship game at 5:15.
Beta Theta Pi #2 vs. Sigma Nu #2 and Phi Delta Theta #1 vs.
Sigma Chi #1, both at 4:15 this afternoon, is the line-up in C league games.

for us. We know we can do that, but we can't compile enough points with so few swimmers. We should qualify in 18 or 19 out of a possible 21 spots. But, Oklahoma should qualify twice as many," explained Markley.
But the Kansas coach said no other team should be able to come very close to the Hawkers, thus making a third place finish very likely.
ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING factor is that Kansas will meet Iowa State head-on in several races. This is a disadvantage for KU because the extra depth which the Cyclones have can be enough to off-set the individual strength of the KU swimmers.
As Markley mentioned, "The boys
Scholarship Terms Incorrectly Stated
The football scholarships awarded to two Lawrence High School players consist of $70 for room and board instead of the $85 figure which was mentioned in Monday's University Daily Kansan.
This sum complies with the Big Eight and NCAA rule which governs the awarding of financial aid to student-athletes as stated in the Big Eight rule book.
The remainder of the scholarship, providing for tuition, books, fees and $15 per month for incidents, was stated correctly.
we have can compete with almost anyone in the nation, at least in the conference. But our lack of manpower is the one factor which has hurt us all season and will hurt this weekend."
The Kansas team has been led all season by the consistently outstanding triumvirate of Eldon Ward, Dick Reamon and Bill Murdock.
REAMON is probably the most improved swimmer on the squad. His 200-yard butterfly time has dropped to 2:09.5 and his best in the 100-yard freestyle is :54.5.
MURDOCK has dropped his 200-
vard breaststroke to 2:25.2.
Markley said he is expecting wins from each of these three swimmers. He feels Ward has an excellent chance in the 50 and 200-yard free-styles, Reamon in the 100 and 200-yard butterfly and Murdock in the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke races.
These three are capable supported by four others who have shown considerable improvement over the course of the season.
WARD, who was selected last season on the All America team, swam a :50.0 100-yard freestyle and anchored the relay team with a :49.2 last week.
Karl Pfuetze, Mike Cassidy,
George Tiller and Ludy Harmon
give KU a slim, but strong team
balance.
The Kansas diver is Keith Bras who is also consistently under one minute in the 100-yard freestyle.
Yanks Again Picked for Top
NEW YORK — (UPI) — American League fact sheet, spring edition;
Everything is bigger but not necessarily better in the American League this year. There'll be 10 clubs instead of the historic eight and not one but two races—one for the top and one for the bottom.
Vast changes have occurred since the last putout of 1960 as new teams in Los Angeles and Washington plucked a roster of expendables from the other clubs and the old Washington team shifted to Minneapolis-St. Paul. But no matter how thin you slice 'em, one story never changes.
In the duel for the depths, it's the "old" Kansas City Athletics against the "babies"—Los Angeles Angels and the new Washington Senators.
The New York Yankees, as usual, is the team to beat in the race for the top.
Casey Stengel and many of Stengel's ways are gone from the Yankees in the new managerial regime
of Ralph Houk . . in addition to the expendables, Yankas have lost veteran Gil McDougald by retirement and reliever Bobby Shantz, sold to Pittsburgh . . club picked up Danny McDewitt (0-4) from Dodgers to help relief corps . . Yanks led in home runs by margin of 43 with 193 last year, are tops in slugging percentage, led league in pitching by a shade over Baltimore . . outfielder Roger Maris won Most Valuable Player award with Mickey Mantle close second . . Houk plans to use Ryne Duren as a starting pitcher, will platoon only in emergencies.
New Los Angeles club has' a power edge over new Senators with Bob Cerv, Ted Kluszewski and Ken Aspromonte on roster . . . Woodling is Washington's No. 1 boy in a pretty fair outfield . . . but both newcomers sadly lack front line pitching.
Idleness is the only refuge of weak minds. —Earl of Chesterfield
