KU Takes Doubleheader
Seventh-Ranked Hawks Roll On
From the lofty viewpoint of Mt. Oread, the Sunflower Doubleheader was a resounding success.
The undefeated Jayhawks came out on the top end of a 71-62 score against Maryland University in Lawrence on Friday night before besting St. John's, 61-55, in Manhattan the following night.
WALT WESLEY, 6-11 center, led KU's scoring in both contests with 26 and 21 points respectively.
Maryland, a tall, deft ball-handling outfit, punctured KU's defense repeatedly with passes under the bucket setting up easy lay-ups. The Terps also picked off the rebounds against the taller Jayhawk squad, particularly the
first half, when they grabbed 29 to KU's 21.
But the seventh-ranked Jay-hawks turned ball-hawks after the half and, led by Al Lopes' 8 rebounds, regained control of the backboards for the win.
SATURDAY NIGHT. St. John's never recovered from ice-cold 19 per cent shooting in the first half. They fought KU to a near standstill on total rebounds the first half, 27-29, but fell behind in that category during the second period.
The Redmen, who never led, came from a 14-point deficit to challenge the Jayhawks in the closing minutes on the hot-shooting of Lloyd "Sonny" Dove.
The slender junior forward
from Brooklyn equaled KU's Wesley in both points and rebounds, 21 and 10 respectively, despite his four-inch height disadvantage.
DOVE, CALLED by some "the tallest 6-7 player in the country" because of his tremendous jumping ability, poured in 27 points and snared 19 rebounds against K-State.
K-State continued their nonwinning ways during the doubleheader, losing their third and fourth straight games.
The "big man" for the Wildcats was Nick Pino, 7-1, 270 lb. sophomore center who had his most productive night of the young season when he pumped in 24 points against St. John's.
Maryland Tough
"MARYLAND USED the California reverse offense, an openman offense, whereby the player gets the ball back to the weak side guard who is behind the screen." Owens explained.
During the first half, the score
JUDGING FROM the amount of jeering and cheering he received. Pino was probably the most controversial figure on the court. The New Mexico native
was tied 13 times and changed 10. KU made 32 per cent of its shots, Maryland 47 per cent.
most incongruous situation of either evening.
Maryland is the toughest team we've played this season, Owens said following the game.
The half ended with a KU dipin at the buzzer which the referees discounted as too late. Fans were on their feet protesting the decision when Clayton Krebbiel, professor of choral music, strolled to the middle of the floor, microphone in hand, and began leading the ruffled spectators in the singing of "Joy To The World."

The littlest man on the court was possibly the most popular of all. He was Charles Eckman, the short scampering referee with the big voice and the big motion who worked both nights of the doubleheader.
Continuing the "most" format, there occurred at the half of the second game on Friday night the
