KANSAS CITY; MO. — Kansas disposed of Colorado, 79-62,
and Missouri ousted Iowa State, 74-65, here Saturday in the open-
ing of the eighth annual Big Seven basketball tournament which
produced not even a mild threat of an upset.

Playing before a quiet audience of 9,400 in Municipal Audi-
torium, the Jayhawks and Tigers moved into a semifinal match
Tuesday night. The tournament resumes here Monday with lower
bracket first-round games, matching Kansas State against Ne-
braska at 8 p. m., and Oklahoma against guest team Washington
at 9:45.

Kansas, paced by veterans Al Kelley and Harold Patterson,
and a sizzling band of sopho-
‘mores led: by Dallas Dobbs,
erased an early Colorado lead
in the first period and went on
to make it a rout in the second
half.

Missouri had an easy time, too,
never trailing the Cyclones,and
piling up a 20-point lead Jate in
the third period. Bob Reiter, 6-8
Missouri center, led a# first-half
attack that put thé I-Staters
under for keeps.

B. H. Born, KYs 6-9 scoring
leader, was hel@ to two field
goals, both\in tie first half, but
Kelley and ‘Débbs took up *the
slack with ‘@8 points between
them, 17 in the nip-and-tuck first
two periods.

Kansas came from behind to

take a 17-4 first-period lead, and
ie pulled away with a late
spurt for a 35-27 margin at half-
time.

The Jayhawks blanked Colo-
rado for the first three minutes
of the third period to take a
42-27 lead, and then shot ahead
