Inspired Wildcats thrash Jayhawks, 69-54
Kansas State turns tables
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
MANHATTAN—Ken Koenigs seemed to the perfect analogy for Saturday's performance.
they looked a little like the Kansas team you saw play them last year (a 91-53 KU win)," he said. "They had their backs to the wall just like we did."
Kansas State was faced with a "must" win situation. A loss at home might have doomed any chance it had of grabbing the Big Eight tie. Their intensity was obvious.
Koenigs seemed to hit the nail squarely on the head with that statement. An inspired Wildcat team came out quickly and buried KU-654. And it could have been worse.
"THEY PLAYED A great and inspired game," KU coach Owens said. "Credit them with great pressure defense that drove us out of our offense."
That defense kept the Jayhawks from doing much of anything in the first half. KU did little more than stand around against the tough pressure defense and was forced to shoot virtually every shot from the outside.
"I thought we stood some," Owens admitted, "but I think we need to credit
At times, the Wildcats seemed to know what the Jayhawks were going to do on offense better than KU did. The tenacious KState defense was everywhere.
"YOU COULD TELL they had us well-scuoted," Mil Gibson said. "They knew just how to play us. In the first half, they were waiting on what we were going to do."
the Jayhawks managed to score only 21 points in the first half, hitting nine of 27 shots from the field. The Jayhawks never recovered from an early 19-7 deficit.
"We made some adjustments in the

Talley cited job insecurity as a factor in his decision to accept a head coaching job. A vote last month at the NCAA convention to limit all sports other than football and basketball to one head coach failed, but Talley is concerned that issue might arise

second half and did a better job," Owens said. "At times, we seemed to be getting back in the game. But we just never could do it."
At KU, Talley coached the hurdle and sprint courts, which has developed into the strength of KU's track program. Many of his athletes have qualified for the 1976 Indoor Championships in Detroit, March 12-13.
Carl Gerlach in particular hurt KU. The 6-10 Wildcat center used his quickness to score a game-high 19 points, 15 coming in the first half.
"WE WANTED CARL to handle the ball a little more, just a little more than uman." K. Schiller added.
UK employed a new defense for the game. It called for guards Milt Gibson and Clint Johnson to play man-to-man against the K-4 team, while the big men played a zone inside.
"It was designed to shut off Mike (Evan) and Chuckie (Williams)." Gibson said. "Wherever they went we wanted to have two people on them."
"We did okay against them, but their big people ended up doing a lot of scoring."
The loss dropped KU to 5-6 in league play, which ties them with Oklahoma for fourth place. The Jayhawks are now 12-11 for the season.
"The only thing I know," Owens said, "is that we're going to try to put it together for the last three games and finish as strong as we can."

MANHATTAN—School was in session
Saturday for Paul Mokeke, KU's 7-foot-
room.
Carl Gerlach was headmaster and the 6-10
amass State center manager "Big Mo"
the youngest captain.
Gerlach showed Mokeski some ballet moves, where you fake right, go left—or vice versa—and whoosh right on in for two points.
"He're really so quick," Mokesi said. "He got by me a couple times so easily. I guess I should have sagged off more. I didn't realize he was that quick."
IT REALLY WASN'T a matter of Mokesi failing to do his lessons. He was prepared; it was just that Gerlah was as unconcerned with the 80-54 cakewalk over the Jawkways.
"Carl just had a good ball game, it wasn't Mokesi's lack of mobility," said Jack Hartman. K-State head coach. "Carl's quick for a big man, and he utilized that as much as he can. You've got to capitalize on what's available."
Gerlach fired in 15 points in the first half and ended up with 19 for the game. He played sparingly in the second half when KState entered up a lead as big as 24 points.
HE ALSO TOOK away much of Mokeski's offensive game.
"He made it tough for me to get in good offensive position," said Mokeski, who was held to two points in the first half, but scored 12 for the game. "He was a sagging off of me and I had to come farther to get in position for a good shot."
When the Jayhawks beat the Wildcats, 62.
When, 31 in Allen Field House, Gelach
Hermann.
"We'd rather have him (Gerlach) play at forward," Ken Koenigs, KU forward, said. "He's sort of out of position when he plays there."
K-STATE FLUSTERED the Jayhawk offense the entire game and kept them from getting the good shot. Kansas shot only 33 on the first half and 57 per cent for the game.
Milt Gibson, KU sophomore guard, also was impressed by the KSU defense.
"They played excellent pressure
and held their ground," And they
drilled us out of our offense."
THE JAYHAWKS, WHO trailed by 14 at halftime, had a chance to get back into the game early in the second half. But a rally over them was enough that they knew they it were done for good.
"They played the best defense I've seen anybody play this year," Gibson said. I've never been Chuckie (Williams) and Mike ever. I had a better defense than they did against us."
"We dug ourselves into a hole, getting behind by that many early in the game," Keenigs said. "That allowed them to control the tempo of the game."
"I thought it would be a close game" he
tried to explain. "But I did. I guess
I didn't know what to expect."
He knows now. Thanks to Gerlach and Company.
Mokeki said that before the game he didn't think there was any way the Wildcats could win.
