Kansas Toys With Missouri, 84-69
Kansas toyed with Missouri in Allen Field House Monday night, winning 84-69 after leading 43-17 at the half.
University Daily Kansan
It was a night officials dream about as a total of 57 personal fouls were called, 29 on Kansas (twice KU's season average) and 28 on Missouri.
Wilt Chamberlain, scoring 34 points, took high point honors. He scored 21 points in the first half.
Kansas played a pressing man-to-man defense in the first half with even Wilt Chamberlain occasionally leaving his area under the basket to guard his man.
Missouri was unable to get close to the basket and unable to hit from the outside.
Scoreless For 10 Minutes
Kansas held the Tigers scoreless from the field for a period of 10 minutes in the latter part of the first half.
KU's Bob Billings left the game with only six minutes gone with an injured back. He was treated in the whirlpool bath but his condition was not reported.
Bud Harbin, 6-foot, 5-inch junior for the University of Missouri was admitted to the Watkins Hospital Monday with measles.
Chamberlain drew his fourth foul of the game with 13:26 left in the second half and from there on the Tigers had it easier. They drove in for layups and Wilt did little to discourage them for fear of being whistled out of the game. Kansas had a 54-27 lead at the time.
The Jayhawkers scored on 48 per cent from the field in the first half and wound up with an over-all 44 per cent field goal average while the Tigers had an overall 38 per cent. They hit only five of 20 attempts from the field in the first half.

Chuck Mather Named Bear Backfield Coach
CHICAGO—(UP)—Chuck Mather, a top advocate of the T-formation, was named as backfield coach of the Chicago Bears in the second coaching change of the pro football club in as many days.
Mather, 41, was head coach at the University of Kansas from 1954 until the middle of the 1957 season when he resigned. His team, however, finished second to Oklahoma in the Big Eight Conference.
Halas pushed Coach Paddy Driscoll upstairs in an effort to revitalize the Bears and remedy their misfortunes of the past season in the National Football League.
Announcement of Mather's selection Monday followed by 24 hours the decision of owner Geroge Halas to return as head coach of the Bears after a 2-year absence from the sidelines for front office duties.
Mather also coached Washington High at Massillon, Ohio, where his team won 57 games and lost only three during six seasons.
We Can Beat K-State If ..., Stalcup Says Following Game
"We would love to have him," said Missouri basketball coach Wilbur "Sparky" Stalcup of Wilt Chamberlain following the Jayhawker's 84-69 victory over the Tigers. "I doubt if he would transfer schools," added Stalcup.
"I am sorry that we didn't win but that's the game of basketball. At least we didn't lose by 40 points as did Nebraska.
"As for the Big Eight race, it's not over yet. We can beat Kansas State if we don't have an epidemic of measles. Stalcup explained that Bud Harbin, Tiger forward who made
the trip to Kansas, came down with the measles just before Monday night's game.
"To beat Kansas State a team has to match their height. If Harbin has only the three days measles and the rest of the boys don't come down with the disease, the Wildcats can be beaten. In that game my back line would be Harbin, Joe Stevens and Cliff Talley. This would match the Wildcat's height."
Diek Harp is only the fourth head basketball coach in 58 years of Kansas basketball history.
