Dave Bliss (Oklahoma coach) has done an excellent job, "head coach Ted Owens said. 'I think they're playing right now as well as any team in the conference. Their victory over Missouri has to give them that much more confidence.'"

Now Taking Applications for Fall
The Sooners are a reflection of what Owens wanted to see in his KU basketball team this season. While Oklahoma has been winning games because of its patience on offense, KU has been losing because of its impatience.

"They are a perfect example of how we should be playing." Koenigs said. "They take their time and work it around until they get a good shot."
Oklahoma is in fourth place in the *nug* Eight race with a 6-7 record. KU is a game back in the Jayhawks need a win to tie the #1 seed. The Jayhawks and avoid falling into the second division.
"We were very fortunate in our first meeting that the breaks went our way. We are just looking forward to doing the very best we can as our season comes to a close."
"Kansas has had some adversity occur in its program this season," Bliss said, "but I know that any team that has their basketball certainly has a great deal going for it.
ALTOUGH KU HAS had problems this season. Bliss still has a great deal of regard for her.

Eight Jayhawks seek NCAA qualification
"We will have a very difficult time beating Oklahoma if we don't improve our movement on offense. I think it will be tough to do that with a selection and do a good job on the boards."

With a game to go. Norm Cook is leading the Jayhawks in scoring with a 15.1 advantage. Others in double figures are Clint Moore and Mark Wilson, both Keenogis (8) and Paul McKeslain (10).
For eight University of Kansas trackmen it's nail-biting time. At 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in Ahearn Field House in the Kansas State Federation meet, they will be getting their last chance to qualify for the NCAA Indoor championships.
have played with excellent patience on offense throughout the year. They have also helped for the high percentage shot and that has helped them overcome their lack of size."
Hoping to improve their seasonal marks in this annual qualifying meet will be: John Rocsoe (1), Mike Lundberg; run; John Roscoe and LinderBung, three-mile run; Steve Rainbolt and John Butterfield, high jump; Larry Jackson, 60-yard dash; and Jim Podebrabur in the shot
"inconsistency has hurt us." Owens admitted. "Repeatedly we have not had good movement and often times as a result we have had poor shot selection
Despite a front line that averages less than 6-6, the Sooners have been rugged on defense. That could be bad news for them, as they lose more than their share of offensive woes lately.
SMITT AND MCCALL have already qualified in other events, but will be competing in the 600-yard run in an attempt to strengthen KU's depth and flexibility in the field. The Smith previously qualified in the 440-dash and McCall in the half-mile run.
Distance runners Lundberg and Roscoe will be making their first start of the season in the three-mile run. They have been concentrating on the two-mile where they started, and they are now Roscoe has recorded a time of 8:48:0 while Lundberg has a seasonal best of 8:51:7.
STEVE  RAINBOLT, second-place finisher in the Big Eight indoor chair-
pionships needs to improve his seasonal best mark in the high jump by one inch to qualify. Rainbow cleared the bar at 7-4 and Field and Field Federation championships.
High jumper John Butterfield is also close to the 7-1 qualifying standard. He leaped 6-1 in a triangular meet in Allen Field House against Oklahoma State and Wichita State.
Larry Jackson could become the fourth Jayhawk to qualify in the 60-year dash if he can successfully overcome a hamstring injury. Jackson needs to improve his time by one-tenth of a second to reach the 6.1 qualifying mark.
Shot putter Jim Podrebara hopes to put the shot beyond the 59-foot mark and qualify for the meet. Podrebara, a third-placed finisher at the Big Eight Indoor championships, has thrown the shot 58-10% earlier this season.
The Jayhawks, who finished second in the national meet last year, have already qualified 11 athletes in 12 events plus teams in the mile relay and distance medley relay. DeLoss Johns, K-State track coach, said tomorrow's meet would not be team scored.
"We're going to have pot luck," Dodds said. "Just who shows up can compete. We're expecting some individuals from our state, KU, KState and several junior colleges.
Football game moved to KU
KU's football game with Washington State on Sept. 11, which had been stated to be played in Seattle, will now be in Lawrence.
The change was made because
Washington State didn't want to open its
ports because of the coronavirus.
KU will still open its season on Sept. 4, against Oregon State in Corvallis. Earlier it was thought that KU would remain on the field to prepare for the Washington State game.
The Oregon State game was originally
scheduled for Sept. 25 which is now an open
date.
