Hawks face Aggies
By Mike Jones Kansan Staff Reporter
The KU basketball team opens its tough pre-season schedule Saturday against a formidable Utah State guitet.
Utah State, which finished 20-6 last year and played in the National Invitational Tournament, is led by 6-6 senior Shaler Halimon.
Halimon is a strong All-American candidate after averaging 23.5 points a game for the Aggies last year. He played forward
last season, but was switched to guard this fall. Utah State coach LaDell Andersen reported that he moved Halimon to the guard position so he could take better advantage of his ball handling abilities.
--play their normal man-to-man defense.
"We will face fewer finer players than Halimon this season," KU assistant coach Sam Miranda said.
Head Coach Ted Owens said although Utah State is a very quick team, the Jayhawks will
"If Halimon plays guard as he is scheduled, Jo Jo White will definitely guard him," Owens said.
Halimon will be paired in the backcourt with 6-2 sophomore Paul Jeppesen. Jeppesen averaged 12 points a game on the Utah State freshman team last year.
Scanning the Big 8

Lettermen Jimmy Smith and Paul Hoffman will start at the forwards for the Aggies. Smith, 6-3, was a starter last season and averaged 12 points a game. Hoffman was the Aggies top reserve and averaged seven points a contest.
KU's Jayhawks raise the curtain on what looks like another successful roundball season Saturday when they host a rugged Utah State team. This sportswriter is going to join in the swing of things and predict a Kansas victory.
The work will be cut out for the defending Big Eight champions though, when they meet face to face with Utah State's All-American candidate Shaler Halimon.
However, the Jayhawks have an All-American candidate of their own in Jo Jo White. As a result, Saturday's crowd may get to see two games for the price of one—Kansas vs. Utah State and White vs. Halimon.
Two year letterman Tom Stewart will start at center for the Aggies. Stewart has been bothered by injuries throughout his career. He averaged six points a game for Utah State last year.
In addition to White, the Jayhawks will go with Rodger Bohnertiehl, 6-6, and Bruce Sloan, 6-5, at the forwards, Dave Nash, 6-16, at center and Rich Bradshaw, 6-3 at the other guard spot.
It will be the first game for Nash as a Jawhawk. He transferred to KU from Dallas Baptist Junior College, where he averaged more than 19 points a game.
Bohnenstiehl was an all-conference performer for the Jayhawks last season.
