Intrasquad game set
Ted Owens knew his K.U. basketball team was short in numbers, but he thought he had enough players to pit the entire first team against the second in the annual Crimson-Blue intrasquared game at 5 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.
Owens, who is entering his 12th year as the Jayhawk's head coach, will unveil his young team after the Kansas-Missouri football game. Students will be admitted free after showing their current certificate of registration.
The Jayhawks had planned to tip off with their starters (the White team) going against the second team (the Blue squad), until Donnie Von Moore, the No. 1 center, came down with pneumonia earlier this season. The team's Paul Mokeski, a 7-foot freshman, and that leaves him a hole at center for the Blue team.
Ownes said that Ken Koenig, a 6-foot-10 sophomore forward, would play both forward for the White and then later will play center for the Blue.
Koenigs will be one of many players lining

If you had bet before the football season began that the University of Kansas football team would be fighting for a post-season spot Nov. 22, you probably also bet that:
*Nolan Cromwell would lead the Big Eight in running this season;
*The Jayhawks would trounce Oklahoma,
23.3 in its stadium Nov. 8;
*Head Coach But Moore could lead KU to a winning season this first year here and with him he can be successful.*
**YOU PROBABLY ALSO** would have made a hell of a lot of money on those bets, because you would have been right on all sides, and not wrong with the walking-on-water act, though).
The Sun Bowl is up for grabs in tomorrow's game between KU and the University of Missouri. The game starts at 10 a.m. on Friday, with a sellout crowd of 52,000 people is expected.
Sun 'Bowl' committee members have promised the winner of tomorrow's grudge match a trip to El Paso to play Pittsburgh in the final. It wouldn't be decided what to do in case of a tie.
WITH TONGUE IN CHEEK, Moore said after yesterday's practice in a wind-chilled Memorial Stadium that he hoped a coin toss would be used to select a bowl representative.
"I don't like that idea very much," he said, adding with a smile, "normal lose weight."
KU and MU are evently matched on
pitch. The Tigers are averaging 391 yards
of offense a game, while the Jayhawks are at 331. On defense, MIT is allowing 321 yards per attempt.
BUT THE BIG advantage Missouri possesses is a balanced offensive attack. The Tigers have the best passer in the league in Steve Piskariewicz and are averaging 182 yards through the air. On the ground, with runners such as Tony Galbreath and Curtis Brown, they are rushing for 209 yards a game.
"They're the most complete football team we've played to date." Moore said. "They do everything well. They throw the ball well; they run well, too."
Moore also praised the Tiger defense, which has been nearly immortalized for shutting down Alabama's wishbone in MU' 20-7 win back in September.
KUIS PASS DEFENSE, which failed the test in last week's 42-14 loss to Colorado, will again be tested this week. The Jayhawks might be bolstered, however, if All-Big Eight safety Kurt Knott plays. As of yesterday, his status for the MU game was uncertain. Another injured safety, John O'Rear, could also be ready.
There's also the possibility that Cromwell may play a little at safety, his position the past two years, as well as handle the quarterback duties.
"There is a chance," Moore said. "We'll play him both ways if the situation calls for it."
Placekicker Dennis Kerbel won't play because of a knee injury, and back tight end Gregg Hosack is out because of a cut leg.
