Kansas returns against Billikens
By ALLEN QUAKENBUSH
Associate Sports Editor
Paul Mokeski, his injured leg resting on a bench, sat in the stands and watched the University of Kansas basketball team practice yesterday afternoon.
With Donnie Moore out indefinitely with pneumonia, Mokeski, a 7-foot-1 freshman, was counted on to play a big role on the team. With his only role has been as a cheerleader.
"I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA when Paul will be ready," Ku coach Ted Owens said yesterday. "The doctors won't even hazard me. I just don't know how long it will take."
Mokesi suffered a pulled hamstring when he get out of a compact car too quickly during Thanksgiving break. He has missed the first two games and there's a good chance that he will be back face St. Louis University at 7:35 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.

Swim teams chase titles
Both the KU men's and women's swimming teams will be competing in Big Eight Invitational Swimming Relays this weekend.
Competing with the Big Eight schools, a team in the men's meet will be Colorado.
The men travel to Boulder, Colo., while the women remain at home in Robinson Natatorium. The women's meet starts at 10 a.m. tomorrow with Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State universities. They will be admitted free with their KU IDs.
State, Denver, Wyoming, Northern Colorado and Air Force.
Flinmariants will be tonight, and the
nationals will be in Iowa. Iowa,
Nebraska, and Oklahoma are the favorites.
One of KU's top swimmers, Senior Co-captain Gary Kemp, won't compete
"We finished fifth in the relays last year," Kempf said, "but we came back to win the conference championship. It (anything but a victory) is an accomplishment to do what we are capable of doing."
Coach Dick Reason said, "I'm not concerned about the competition. I just want to win."
Against the Billikens, Koenigs might be able to put his size to good advantage. The tallest St. Louis starter is 64*0f-6 center Howard Jackson. But not that lack of size fool you. The Billikens are a好放 rebounding team.
In their 80-79 win over Southern Methodist, they out-rebounded the Mustangs 50-38. And SMU came back to outrebound KU in Monday's game.
The Billikens' big gun is 6-foot 5 senior forward Lewis McKinney, who fired in 21 points against SMU. In last year's 79-72 win, McKinney scored 26 points, and Owens said he expected him to cause the Jayhawk defense problems again this year.
"WE'RE GOING TO HAVE to work hard,
rebound well and do a good job of executing
If Mokeski can't play, Owens will again go with Ken Koehnis at the post position. The 6-foot-10 sophomore has done well in the first game, averaging 23.5 points and 9.0 rebounds.
"Lewis McKinney is simply an outstanding basketball player." Owens said. "The fact that they have him makes them a solid basketball team. I feel that we are going to have to contain him to have a chance at winning."
KU's size, even with Von Moore and
Mokesi out of the lineup, has St. Louis coach Kandy Albrecht concerned. Koenigis and 6-foot-9 forward Norm Cook have over their counterparts from St. Louis.
"KANASSA HAS ALWAYS HAD BIG teams," Abbrecht said. "We played about as a good game as we could last year and we have been doing it for years to have our hands full at their place."
Conversely, Owens is worried about the Billikens' quickness. He said that because St. Louis was an effective rebounding club, he had to get them to get out quickly on the fast break.
After losing to Southern Methodist on the road earlier this week, Owens is glad to bring his young squad back home tomorrow night.
"I THINK WELL BOUNCE back," Owens said. "I 'm still convinced we have a solid nucleus and I have a lot of confidence that we can work together should be of help when we need it."
The game against the Billiken will be the first of six straight home games. The Jayhawks will meet Notre Dame Monday, Boise State on Thursday, Kentucky on Friday before going on the road for the Big Eight Tournament.
