KU faces Irish test tonight
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
Associate Sports Editor
At 1:30 p.m. yesterday, the University of Kansas basketball team was back on the court.
Coach Ted Owers would have liked to have given his team a little break after Saturday's 70-64 win over St. Louis. But with Notre Dame invading Allen Field House for a 7:35 p.m. game tonight, there's no time for rest.
That's just the second of four games in eight days for the young Jayhawk basketball team. Boise State will be here on Saturday. Kentucky shows on Saturday. By the time, Owens ought to have a better idea of what to expect from this year's team.
"WE'RE TRYING TO Grow in December, Owens said, and it'u的不fortunate that we have to do it without two of our best friends. Donnie Von Moore and Paul Mokesk."
"There are going to be nights out there when we don't look like a machine. But when you're starting four sophomores and a junior, you have to expect that."
Notre Dame has a young team of its own, starting four juniors and a sophomore. But three of those players have lettered twice. Notre Dame's first game was America forward. In two games against KU last season, Dantley scored 64 points. The Irish won both games, 75-59 and 77-71.
"WEHAD DIFFICULTY against him last year," Owens admitted, "and we must do a better job against him this season to have a chance."
Most likely, Norm Cook will draw the task of trying to guard Dantley. Cook did a good job on him in the second game last year, at 6-4 and 3-2. He also played offense with Dantley handling the ball.

"I played him too tight when they spread it out," Cook said, "and he just drove by me. He's quick and I should have known what he was trying to do."
KU forward Norm Cook scored 14 points Saturday
have two good big men in 6-foot-8 Toby Knight and 6-foot-9 Dave Battin. In addition, they have one of the deepest benches the Jahynhicks will face.
"Their depth may be as much concern to me than the fact that we are thinned out some because of injuries," Owens said. "I don't think we can afford to get into a running game with them."
Owens said Mokeski's pulled hamstring was improving, but he didn't know when the 7-cot-1 freshman would be back in the lineup.
"it's going to be a heckuva challenge",
centre Ken Koenigs is, "they probably
have we outmaned one-one-one. But you
never know what would happen."
One of the things the Jayhawks must do to win is control the tempo of the game.
"They have a lot of guards," guard Milt Gibson said. "We can't let them wear us
down. We're going to have to stick with them all the time.
"We're not going to slow it down. We are going to have to control the tempo. We're still going to run, but we're going to have to keep it under control."
Defense spurs Jayhawks, 70-64

For most of Saturday's basketball game with St. Louis University, the University of Kentucky beat Washington 71-60.
But for three minutes early in the second half, that same offense was unstoppable. In that stretch, the Jayhawks scored on eight consecutive trips down the court, forced four St. Louis turnovers and outscored the Billikens 16-2 to give a 53-18 lead. The Jayhawks then survived a cold stretch of their own and held on to win, 70-64.
"We didn't play with any confidence on offense early," KU coach Ted Owens said. "We have a tendency when nothing happens on one or two passes to get a little frantic."
high-scoring Lewis McKinney to only 10 points.
WHILE THE OFFENSE was getting itself untracted, the Jahayk defense was doing the job on the Billikens. Particularly effective was for forward Norm Cook, who held
"One of the real keys to the game was the job Norman did on McKinney. Owens said. "Too many times, a player is judged on how much you think you can get it, me's completeness that counts."
Cook also had a good game offensively.
He scored 14 points and was the team's leading reb'ward with 12. But for Cook, perhaps the most important thing that he got his old jersey—00—back after almost a year without it.
"IM REAL GLAD to have it back," Cook said. "I feel comfortable in it."
The Jayhawks battled back from an early 14-3 deflection to lead 35-28 at the half. Again, they were unable to get past
"We did a lot of things right on defense," he said. "If we had not done that, we would have been out of the game early. We had no noise or confidence on offense, but for
tunately our defense kept them from getting too far, ahead."
Even after the Jayhawks grabbed the 15-point lead midway through the second half, St. Louis kept coming back. The Billikens forced five straight turnovers and cut the gap to five on a basket by Kevin King with 6:50 left in the game.
"WE WEREN'T TRYING to sit on our lead at all," Owens said. "We just went flat for a period. We pleased me is that we used our pulse after they cut our lead to five."
With the Billikens trying desperately to get the ball, they fouled eight times in the last five and one-half minutes. The Jayhawks, who hit only 99.3 per cent of their free throws for the game, hit 10 of their final 12 shots from the line to ensure the victory.
Ken Koenigs and Clint Johnson led the scoring with 17 points apiece. Herb Nobles tallied 14 and Milt Gibson had eight in the balanced KU attack.
Men third; women win
OU won the meet with 94 points. Colorado finished second with 81. The Jayhawks competed without co-captain Gary Kemp-Thompson in a period with a damaged knee—and scored, 60.
The men's swim team finished a distant third to Oklahoma and Colorado at the Big Eight Invitational Swim Relays this weekend at Boulder, Colo.
KU's women's swim team was more successful, however. It won the Women's intercollegiate Swimming Big Eight Relays at the 2015 Nationals in 10 points and runnerup Nebraska had 101.
