The University of Oklahoma had only three basketball coaches in a 47-year period, from 1908 to 1955.
It took Wilt Chamberlain only seven seconds to score in Wednesday's Canisius game, a game marked by ragged play, mostly on the part of Kansas.
Kansas took only eight offensive rebounds and nine defensive rebounds during the first half while Canisius, a team which was three inches per man shorter, took 12 offensive and six defensive rebounds.
Kansas got behind in a game for the first time this season when Canisius took a 6-5 lead with 13:45 left in the first half but the lead was short-lived.
The second half, however, saw Kansas play a much smoother all-around ball game. An example of the better play was the fact that KU took a total of 37 rebounds in the game compared to 31 for Caniusus.
The superior rebounding which gave Kansas its edge early in the Oklahoma State game was not at all evident in Allen Field House Wednesday night during the first half.
The Jayhawkers, who committed only nine fouls in the game compared to 19 for Caniusis, did not commit a foul until almost 10 minutes were gone in the game.
An example of KU's ragged play was the four bad passes in the first eight minutes of play. Canisius, on the other hand, passed frequently and waited for the perfect shot while Kansas concentrated mainly on getting the ball in to Chamberlain who scored on 11 of 19 field goal attempts.
The Kansas height advantage showed up best in the tipoffs. Canisius failed to receive the ball after a tipoff until only 9:40 was left in the game.
Chamberlain drew 10 fouls in the game, mainly because the visitors found there was virtually no way to stop him from scoring once he was on his way up under the basket.
Kansas, although playing somewhat better than in the varsity-freshman game, exhibited a ragged style that was not so evident in the Oklahoma State game. It may mean Kansas is not yet ready to become a serious competitor for Big Eight or national honors since a steady game-after-game performance will certainly be a requirement for the championship of the Big Eight's pre-season tournament in Kansas City, Mo.
Swimmers To Face Southern Illinois
On the basis of the results of a freshman-varsity swimming meet Tuesday, John Jeffrey should be KU's main threat in the team's opener with the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale Saturday.
Jeffrey won both the 200-yard butterfly and the 200-yard breaststroke event. His time of 2.36.5 in the butterfly event bettered the existing pool record of 2.38.1.
Jared Piety, swimming in his first varsity meet, is expected to be a KU mainstay. He also won the 440-yard freestyle in the freshman-varsity meet Monday.
He will swim the 220-yard freestyle and the 440-xard, freestyle
20-yard freestyle.
Jon Poort, team from two firsts in the freshman-varsity for the 220-yard freestyle in 2:27.3 and the 60-yard freestyle in 322.2.
