Scanning the Big 8
NEBRASKA 24, KANSAS 7
The statistics should show this to be a game of offense versus offense, but the actual key is pass defense—where KU lacks considerably. If Patrick and Douglass are on target, the air should be full of footballs.
OKLAHOMA 17, TEXAS 7
The Sooners have been a surprise so far this season and they should continue to be so tomorrow against the Longhorns. Oklahoma's offense, led by quarterback Bob Warmack, should lay it on UT.
KANSAS STATE 21, IOWA STATE 7
The Wildcats are flying high after their near-miss with Nebraska, and behind Bill Nossek's passing they should calm the Cyclones.
COLORADO 21, MISSOURI 17
Definitely a tight game, with the main difference being the home field advantage. Played on a neutral field, it would be a toss-up.
Oklahoma State is idle this week.
Height may help KU reach heights
Kansas' basketball squad, shooting for a third straight Big Eight championship, assembles at Allen Field House Sunday to begin preparations for another promising campaign.
With nine lettermen and five standout newcomers to work with, Coach Ted Owens' fourth Jayhawk squad appears even better fortified than his last two clubs, both of which posted 23-4 records.
However, Owens hastens to point out that "every club in the Big Eight will be considerably improved."
Losses are few
If Kansas is successful in reaching its goal of a third straight undisputed crown, it would become the first conference team in 34 years to achieve this feat.
Player losses were few from last year's team, which finished third and fourth in the final wire service polls, and a strong group is moving onto the varsity to give Owens more depth.
Heading this year's cast are JoJo White, stellar 6-3 All-America candidate at guard, and Rodger Bohnenstiel, 6-6 forward who topped the Jayhawks in scoring a year ago with 16.4. Both were first team all-conference choices a year ago.
KU bowlers on top,12-0
KU's varsity bowling team is currently resting in first place in the Mid-States Bowling Conference. The team is undefeated in the twelve matches held so far.
The conference is made up of Emporia State, Wichita State, Kansas State and KU. The teams meet every two weeks at one of the member schools and roll a round-robin tournament.
In last week's matches at Emporia, KU was led by Rod Hefley, Kansas City senior, who averaged over 200 pins a game and scored a single game high of 258. Larry Stotts, Wichita freshman, and Bill Bott, Kansas City freshman, were close behind with averages of 192 and 193 respectively. Other members of the team were Dick Groner, Kansas City senior, and Stan Heffley, Kansas City sophomore.
The next meet will be Oct. 28 in the Jay Bowl at the Kansas Union. Warren Boozer, KU recreation manager and coach of the team, said anyone interested in trying out should come to the Jay Bowl at 3:30 p.m. any Tuesday.
Vernon Vanoy, 6-8 pivot, will not report for basketball until late November following the football season.
Rounding out Owens' more experienced group are juniors Phil Harmon and Bruce Sloan, who shared starting assignments at the guard spot opposite White, and 6-7 Howard Arndt, who came on strong toward the end of his sophomore year.
Nash tallest at 6-10
Biggest of the newcomers is 6-10 Dave Nash, a junior college transfer from Dallas (Tex.) Baptist. During his two years at Dallas, Nash helped his mates compile a 46-11 record. He averaged 19.6 points a game last year.
Feeding into the varsity from last year's freshman unit are Rich Bradshaw, 6-3 guard, Jim Hoffman, 6-7 forward, and Chester Lawrence, 6-4 guard.
Another member of that team, 6-2 Carl Janis decided to delay his college career and recently joined the Marine Corps.
A sophomore of promise is 6-8 Greg Douglas of Keokuk, Ia., who was not eligible academically for the freshman team but is now in good standing.
"Specifically, the addition of Nash, Douglas and Hoffman, as well as Bradshaw, should strengthen our rebounding considerably," Owens said. "The addition of Bradshaw and Lawrence to our backcourt crew could give us added ball-handling skill, shooting ability and the depth needed to move Bruce Sloan back to his natural position at forward."
The Jayhawks' first public showing will be in the Varsity-Freshman game November 25, the night of Kansas' final football game with Missouri.
Rugby game Sun., need more players
Ken Leonard, captain of the KU rugby football team, said that players are needed for the fall rugby season.
"Rugby is a lot of fun and is really not that demanding," Leonard said.
There will be an inter-squad game at 1:30 p.m. Sunday on the field west of Oliver Hall.
"I hope that anyone interested will come out," Leonard said.

Go together pretty well, don't they?
