(Daily Kansan photo) STILLWATER, Okla.-Kansas survived a fiery baptism here Monday night and in defeating Oklahoma State University, 63-56, served notice that it would be a contender for national basketball honors. Once again it was the performance of Wilt Chamberlain, the all American center, who scored, rebounded and played brilliantly on defense. Chamberlain scored 30 points while Ron Loneski, playing his usually steady game, scored 14. A pleasant surprise for Kansas was the very fine performance of junior forward Monte Johnson who scored seven points, fourth highest in the game. Center Arlan Clark was high scorer for the Cowpokes with 13 points. Forward Joe Crutchfield added eight points, all scored from the outside. OS Crowd Noisy To win Kansas not only had to defeat Iba's nationally ranked squad but also the famous sixth man, the violent crowd which gave no verbal quarter to visitors and officials alike. Chamberlain, the officials, and a disturbed Dick Harp were the main targets of the 9,500 screaming fans which jammed OSU's little Gallagher Field House for the game. Kansas took an early lead and maintained a four to six point margin until the closing second of the first half. The game's most heated action came with eight minutes left in the half when Chamberlain was roughed following one of his high leaps to dunk the basketball. The alleged unnecessary roughness brought a verbal denunciation from Harp who argued with officials, scorers and with everyone in general. Meanwhile, Chamberlain tenderly massaged a slightly injured hand. Iba's crew had one aim in mind throughout the game—get Chamberlain to foul and it appeared as if they had succeeded during the first half—Chamberlain fouled three times. The crowd screamed with delight. Harp finally took his seat and Chamberlain quickly subdued the fans into respectful silence when he nonchalantly scored on both free throws awarded him after the personal foul. That was all, though—he didn't foul in the second half. The Aggies, although often far behind, played a slow, ball control game and tried to make every shot count. With time quickly running out and his team 10-15 points behind, Iba charged to his feet often yelling, "Pass the ball, pass the ball," or, "Draw him out, draw him out." Harp's main pre-season worry, defense, seemed to be a Kansas strong point Monday night. The Cowpokes, unable to work the ball in to the post, shot from the outside time and again and scored with deadly accuracy. KU Defense Strong Kansas hit an over-all 50 per cent of their field goals and 57 per cent on free throws for a 54 per cent average. The Cowpokes scored on 46 per cent of their field goals and 55 per cent of their free throws. The Jayhawkers took their largest lead with eight minutes left in the second half, 15 points, on a full court pass from Chamberlain to Bob Billings who made the score 53-38, KU. Then the Cowpokes scored on six straight field goals, all from the outside. Kansas meanwhile lagged behind with only two dunks by Chamberlain and a jump shot by Loneski in the period. The margin closed to 57-50 with 4:30 left and the roar of the crowd became deafening. OS Press Fails A tight half court press was thrown up by OSU with three minutes left, but Bob Hickman of Kansas scored the 60th and 61st KU points and Chamberlain, in the waning seconds, gave a very hostile crowd their final lesson on how a basketball is properly dunked from above. "Adair and Sutton shooting the ball in so accurately hurt us," he said and added, "the team wanted to win and fought to do it." Harp, after the game, said Loneski played his best game ever. He had high praise for Wilt and for Johnson and sophomore Alan Donaghue and Bob Hickman. Kansas University won the Big Eight all-sports championship during the 1956-57 school year to end an 11-year streak of Oklahoma titles. Phone Tom Maupin's for reservations and your airline tickets.
