(Daily Kansan photo) 2nd Half Splurge Sparks KU Victory After a close first half, KU veteran Wilt Chamberlain started showing his all-American type of basketball and helped give the Jayhawkers a 66-46 victory in their first home game of the 1957-58 season. It was a game that was marked with sloppy play in spots as the Golden Griffins from Buffalo, N.Y., played a ball control game of cat and mouse in an attempt to hold down the high scoring Kansans. Chamberlain scored 32 points before being taken out of the game with about two minutes left in the game. He also grabbed 21 rebounds. The Jayhawkers, after playing an erratic first half, open up the start of the second half and in the first 11 minutes scored 19 points while holding the visitors to three. Hickman A Standout One really bright spot of the game, the same as in the Oklahoma State game, was the play of Coach Dick Harp's sophomores. It was sophomore Bob Hickman who was a standout among the sophomores. Just before the half he hit for six points in a little over one minute. His 10 point total tied him with Jim Springer of Canisius for third high scorer. Another standout for Kansas was Ron Loneski, whose 13 points were second only to Chamblein. Loneski also grabbed 12 rebounds. The Jayhawkers started off on what promised to be a high scoring game with Chamberlain dunking the ball with only seven seconds gone. However, Canisius began their ball control tactics and shut out any hope of a high scoring game. With five minutes gone in the game, Greg Britz hit to tie the score, 4-4. A minute later he hit again to put the Golden Griffins ahead for the first and only time in the game. It was Wilt who brought the Jayhawkers back on top to stay. 7-6. With the first period half over, Briz hit a free throw, John Rauh hit for two points with Britz following suit and the Golden Griffins had the score tied 11-11. It was tied just once more, then the Jayhawkers, with nine minutes left in the first half, went ahead to stay. Half Ends, 28-24 With Canisius playing cautious ball and making sure of each shot, the remainder of the half dragged by, ending 28-24. The second half opened with the Jayhawkers showing the same style of basketball that won them their season's opener at Stillwater. Kansas' zone defense kept the visitors out from under the basket much of the game, with only an occasional shot being worked in under the goal.

East End of 9th St. VI 3-0956 KU Team Dissatisfied A coach and team with mixed emotions. This was the case of the Kansas basketball squad following Wednesday night's 66-46 victory over Canisius. The Jayhawkers were happy over the win, but disappointed over the showing they made in gaining the victory. Bv BOB MACY (Of The Daily Kansan Staff) It was a game that was marked, at least for the first half, with sloppy playing on the part of both clubs. During the first half, the Golden Griffins played a game of strict ball control, making sure of each shot before they took it. And it was the general opinion of players and coaches alike that they would have to improve if they were to hold their own with Northwestern Saturday night. Harp Praises Hickma In the dressing room following the game, Coach Dick Harp left little doubt that he was proud of the job that sophomore guard Bob Hickman had done. He said that Hickman's play Wednesday night had won him a starting berth for the Northwestern game Saturday night at Evanston, Ill. He also praised the play of three other sophomores and commented that the play of the sophomores in the first two games has "given us hope of a good season." Harp was not too optimistic about the coming two-game road trip that starts Saturday . "We will be entirely satisfied to come home with a win in one of the two games we play this weekend."Harp said. As far as ranking play Wednesday night with their opener at Stillwater. Harp said there was "no comparison." "We had no hustle the first half. We adjusted a little better the second half to the type of ball they were playing," he said. "It's hard to play a game where the team is playing cat and mouse with you." Harp commented that at the present time they weren't too interested in doing a lot of work on the fast break. He said he hoped by the time conference play came up they would have more of a chance to work on it. He said at the present time they were just interested in getting the ball down court and when a chance for a fast break came they took it, but right now they weren't good enough to use it effectively. No Fast Break Work Guard Bob Billings said he thought that the team was "not mentally ready" for the game. "The guys were all looking forward to the Northwestern game," he said. game, he said. Forward Ron Loneski agreed the Jayhawkers didn't play as well as they should have. "We just weren't up for the game like we were for Oklahoma State. I also think the boys were tired from Monday night," he said. All-America center Wilt Chamberlain indicated that Northwestern would rank within the top five of teams they will play this year. Chamberlain pretty well summed up the feelings of players and coaches alike by commenting, "It's a good game to get over with. We just weren't up for it." Curran Praises Kansas Canisius coach Joe Curran had nothing but praise for the Kansas Jayhawkers after his team had taken a 20-point loss from KU Wednesday. "KU has a really great team, and with (Wilt) Chamberlain in there at center, there's almost no stopping them," he said. "We've played some of the best teams in the nation the past couple of years, including Bradley, North Carolina, St. Louis, and Dayton, and KU is every bit as good as any of them," he continued. But Mr. Curran didn't believe that his team was as good as it has been in recent years. "We lost a lot of boys from last year. Our showing tonight was just about what I expected," he said.
