SEASON SUMMARY:
During the Christmas holidays of the 1921-22 season, Allen
took his team to Minneapolis, Minn., where the Jayhawks practiced for a week
against the Minnesota Gophers. They
played a game at the end of the week, and KU won 32-11.
The Gophers went on to finish third in the Big Ten, and Allen credited
the work in Minnesota as helping his team in the more physical games later that
season.
KU went 16-2 overall and 15-1 in the Valley, tying Missouri
for the conference title. George
Rody and Paul Endacott led the Jayhawks on a team that later was declared
national champion by the Helms Foundation of Los Angeles. Rody was the conference scoring leader, averaging 15.2 points
per game, and Endacott was named All-American.

1922
Helms Foundation National Champions
The Helms Foundation crowned the Jayhawks champion 14 years after the fact in
1936, when national champions and championship games were awarded retroactively.
Kansas and Missouri tied for the Missouri Valley title with 15-1 records. KU's
16-2 overall mark, combined with a win over Missouri, earned KU its first
national championship.
Co-captain George Rody scored 12 points and future Hall of Fame member Paul
Endacott added six points to lead Kansas past Missouri, 26-16, on February 21,
1922 in Columbia, Mo.
1922 Helms Foundation
National Champions
Kansas went 16-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference and finished 17-1 overall.
Early Kansas greats Tus Ackerman, Charlie Black and Paul Endacott led Kansas to
a 23-20 win over visiting Missouri.
The Helms Foundation national champions and national championship games were not
awarded until 1936, when champions were selected retroactively.
