Correll Also Stars
The Kansas Jayhawkers won their most-lopsided victory over Oklahoma in history by defeating the Sooners 86-55 at Norman last night.
The previous high Jayhawker margin of victory over the Sooners was 27 points set in 1935 when KU won 50-23.
Jayhawks Humiliate OU; Unseld Scores 31
GEORGE UNSELD set a new career individual game scoring total with 31 points. His previous high game was the finals of the Big Eight tournament when he scored 26 points.
Giving the Jayhawkers a big boost was Al Correll, 6-3½ senior. Playing the role of a stabilizer, Correll scored, rebounded, stole the ball and was stout on defense. The Philadelphia, playing his first game for KU in two years, moved back and forth from forward to guard, but wherever he played, he performed nothing short of sensational. He scored 14 points.
OKLAHOMA TRIED everything to stop the Jayhawkers including a full court press. The Sooners attempted a fast break offense in the second half, but the Jayhawkers matched them point for point.
Nolen Ellison was KU's second high scorer with 16 points. Having only four points at halftime, the senior guard gave a strong second half performance that saw the Jay-hawkers build a 20 point lead early in the final period.
It looked early in the game that OU might not have any trouble from the Jayhawkers. The Sooners held four point margins until midway through the first half. Harry Gibson tied the ball game at 16-16, driving past his man to score. Unseld scored once which was followed by two consecutive baskets by Dave Schichtle and KU led by six points. From that point in the game, the Sooners never threatened. KU led 41-28 at halftime.
Schichtle, a sophomore, came off the bench to play his finest game. The Coffeyville guard scored seven points which was overshadowed by his strong defensive effort and hustle.
THE VICTORY MOVED the Jay-
hawkers in sixth place ahead of Missouri with a 2-4 league record. The defeat dropped the Sooners from fourth to fifth place with a 3-4 record, just a half-game ahead of KU.
Saturday night the Jayhawkers will face league leading Colorado at Boulder. The Jayhawkers defeated the Buffaloes at the Big Eight tournament 70-64, but lost in Lawrence 73-57.
For Oklahoma Coach Bob Stevens,
it marked an unpleasant first meeting
with the Jayhawkers. Stevens,
who was the Atlantic Coast Conference's
Coach of the Year last year, is in his first year at OU, and this was
his first meeting against Coach Dick

Harp's Jayhawkers.
Last night's encounter was in extreme contrast with the three games played between the two clubs last year. Oklahoma won all three, but each was by only one point (61-60, 67-66, 63-62).
Harvey Chaffin, 6-6 center, led the Sooners in scoring with 16 points, 11 of them coming in the first half.OU's top scorer, Eddie Evans, who stands only 5-9, was held to 13 points. He was averaging 16.9 points per game going into the contest.
Phi Kappa Theta continued its hold on first place in Division I of the Fraternity A intramural basketball league with a 53-40 victory over Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Stan Morrison, a reserve center, who moved into the lineup when Farrell Johnson became scholastically ineligible, was third high for the Sooners with 12 points.
The Phil Kappa Theta record now stands at 5-0.
Phi Kappa Theta Clinches Playoff Berth With Victory
Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon stayed close behind the leader with victories last night. Both teams have 4-1 records. The Beta victory came as a result of a forfeit by Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Dave Stinson and John Williams
each scored 11 points as the SAE's defeated Sigma Nu 58-42. The Sigma Nu record now stands 3-2.
The Phi Kappa Thetas are assured of a spot in the fraternity playoffs. Their one remaining game is with Sigma Nu. Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon will close regular season play against each other for second place and a playoff berth.
Kappa Sigma defeated Sigma Chi 43-32 for fifth place. Chuck Dobson led the Kappa SIG's with 16 points. Ric Knorr scored '5' for the losers.
