Iowa State next foe for Crimson and Blue
The Kansas basketball Jayhawks set out on their second stop in quest of a fourth consecutive Big Eight Conference championship tonight when they take on a rejuvenated Iowa State Cyclone quintet in Ames.
Both teams enter the contest with opening game victories over conference foes.
Iowa State used a 39-point performance by All-Conference selection Don Smith to stun Big Eight Tournament champion Nebraska. 80-55. Smith's total was a career high.
Ironically enough, it was Iowa State, who just a week and a half ago failed to register a victory in three outings in the Big Eight Tourney in Kansas City. At the same tournament, Nebraska marched to its first championship in conference history.
Meanwhile, the Jayhawks rode the 20 and 18-point performances of Jo Jo White and Rodger Bohnenstiel respectively to defeat Colorado. 66-50.
... and bless Coach Owens and ...
Clay Stapleton's Cyclones are led by Smith, senior guard John McGonigle and sophomore forward Bill Cain.
With Smith, 6-8, Cain, 6-6 and Ron Kaufman at 6-5, the Cyclones possess one of the league's strongest front lines. Last season, Smith led the conference in both scoring and rebounding, and the senior center has followed along the same lines thus far this season. Smith averaged 24.8 and pulled down 343 rebounds during the 1966-67 campaign.
In all probability junior center Vernon Vanoy will draw the tough assignment of defending against Smith. In the three meetings last season between the two 6-8 pivot men, Smith flipped in 72 points for a 24-point average. Other probable starters for the Crimson and Blue will be Bohnenstiehl and Bruce Sloan at forwards and White and Rich Bradshaw at the guards.

1968: ITS CAUSE AND CURE
Are you still writing "1967" on your papers and letters? I'll bet you are, you scamp! But I am not one to be harsh with those who forgot we are in a new year, for I myself have long been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in my senior year at college, I wrote 1873 on my papers until nearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally, not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874 was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fit of pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we all know, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action. Who does not recall that famous meeting between Mr. Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr. Arthur said, "Lou, I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874!" Whereupon the French emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi que nous et tyler tu". Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that, as you can imagine.)
But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 on our papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to find something memorable about 1968, something unique to fix it firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple because, as we all know, 1968 is the first year in history that is divisible by 2, by 5, and by 7. Take a pencil and try it: 1968 divided by 2 is 984; 1968 divided by 5 is 393%; 1968 divided by 7 is 281%. This mathematical curiosity will not occur again until the year 2079, but we will all be so busy then celebrating the Chester 2079, but we will scarcely have time to write papers and letters and like that.
Another clever little trick to fix the year 1968 in your mind is to remember that 1968 spelled backwards is 8691. "Year" spelled backwards is "raey." "Personna" spelled backwards is "Annosrep" I mention Personna because I am paid to write this column by the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined to withhold my check if I omit to mention their product.
Not, mind you, that it is any chore for me to sing the praises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that shaves you cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you beaming, a trouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free, a matchless blade that leaves you scratchless. If you are tired of facial slump, if you are fed up with jowl blight, try Personna today...available both in double-edge style and Injector style. And if I seem a bit excessive in my admiration for Personna, I ask you to remember that to me Personna is more than a razor blade; it is also an employer
But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable aspects of 1968 and high among them, of course, is the fact that in 1968 the entire House of Representatives stands for election. There will, no doubt, be many lively and interesting contests, but none, I'll wager, quite so lively and interesting as the one in my own district where the leading candidate is none other than Chester A. Arthur!
Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president to come out of retirement and run for the House of Representatives. John Quincy Adams was the first. Mr. Adams also holds another distinction: he was the first son of a president ever to serve as president. It is true that Martin Van Buren's son, Walter "Blinky" Van Buren, was at one time offered the nomination for the presidency, but he, alas, had already accepted a bid to become Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. James K. Polk's son, on the other hand, became Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fillmore's son went into aluminum siding. This later became known as the Missouri Compromise.

In Missouri, or anywhere else, there is no compromise with quality in Personna or in Personna's partner in shaving pleasure—Burma-Shave. Burma-Shave comes to you in regular or menthol. Try it. You'll find it soaks rings around any other lather.
