University Daily Kansan SPORTS Arizona State Beats KU,72-58
The Kansas Jayhawkers were handed their fourth defeat of the budding season last night in Tempe, Ariz., as the eighth nationally ranked Arizona State Sun Devils outmanned and out-shot their fighting visitors. 72-58.
The Jayhawkers, concluding a three game swing west, started quickly but never really had a chance as the taller and more experienced Sun Devils showed a superior offense to be in control throughout the game.
THE LOSS COMPLETED a totally unsuccessful western trip. Kansas lost to Southern California and UCLA previously.
The next action for the Crimson and Blue will be in Allen Field House Friday night against another nationally ranked quintet, the St. John's Redmen. Kansas State will also be on the program, meeting Marquette. The quartet will move to Manhattan Saturday where the Kansas teams will switch opponents.
The Jayhawkers, as they did in their loss to UCLA Saturday, held the lead briefly in the opening minutes but, once the host team got going, there was no doubt about the eventual winner.
THIS GAME WAS TYPICAL of the KU efforts since the season opening win over Arkansas. KU was behind through the great majority of the contest, the margin varying from eight to 21 points, and unable, mostly because of mechanical errors and poor shooting, to close the gap and threaten their opponent.
But, never did the Jays appear to give up the cause. The fight which the Jays showed not only last night but in their other three defeats has set the pattern thus far. The Hawkers have been hustling and very agressive for the entire game but just haven't had the manpower to tip the scales in their favor.
Having only nine players suited for the game, Coach Harp was not able to substitute freely and didn't call on a reserve until 5:28 remained in the game when he replaced the erratic Gardner with Pete Woodward. This broke the string of 195 consecutive minutes which Gardner had played since the opening of the season.
The Kansas forces were thinned last night as Harry Gibson, who has been doing a highly creditable job thus far and scored 18 points against USC, did not suit up for the game. He incurred a badly bruised knee against UCLA. The seriousness of the injury has not yet been determined but it is hoped the 6-3 sophomore will be ready Friday.
BUDDY VANCE STARTED his first game in a Kansas uniform and came through with eight points from the center spot and provided the Jayhawkers with the best rebounding and hustle yet at that position.
Jim Dumas continued to provide the spark for Coach Dick Harp as he led the KU rebounders and drilled home 13 points.
High scorers for the losers were guards Jerry Gardner and Nolen Ellison who came through with 18 apiece.
GARDNER, THE FLASHY lone senior starter on the squad, also led the Hawkers in the error department. He lost possession for KU a dozen times and the Sun Devils
Hadl First Kansas Repeater
Earning his second FWAA All America berth, quarterback John Hadl became the first repeat All America in Kansas football history. Previous selections, ahead of Hadl's 1960 berth, were Ray Evans, 1947; Otto Schnellbacher, 1947; George Mrkonic, 1951; Oliver Spencer, 1952, and Gil Reich, 1952.
were alert and frequently took advantage of bad passes, fumbles and violations to help pad their lead.
The winners showed as much balance and team power as KU has faced this season as they moved easily to their fourth straight victory of the campaign.
Arizona State employed what Coach Ned Wulk calls a "lane offense" in which there is no player stationed along the free throw lane. Arizona State positioned in a semicircle around the hoop and went from there.
BOTH TEAMS STARTED very slowly with the intermission score showing the Sun Devils leading, 29-17.
After halftime the Jayhawkers came out showing intentions of getting themselves back into the game but their threat was soon thwarted by the leadership of 5-0 All America candidate guard for ASU, Larry Armstrong. Armstrong was the main cog in the Sun Devil attack during the second half and finished as the game's leading point-scorer with 20 markers.
Colorado's Romig Honored As 'Lineman of Year' by UPI
NEW YORK — (UPI)—Guard Joe Romig of Colorado, a genius at figuring out and a genius enemy plays and a certified "straight A" genius in the classroom, today was named college football's "Lineman of the Year" for 1961 in a nationwide poll by United Press International.
THE SPORTS WRITERS and broadcasters of the nation agreed that Romig was at least tops this season. But the 315 votes cast were widely scattered among no less than 47 players in a year which the professional scouts already have rated an excellent one for producing line talent in colleges.
"He is the best I've ever seen, and I saw a lot when I was playing and coaching at Michigan State," said Colorado Coach Sonny Granddelus.
Romig received 63 votes, only 20 per cent of those cast, but a solid margin over 265-pound tackle Merlin Olsen of Utah State, who was runner-up with 37 votes. Tackle Billy Neighbors of Alabama was third with 25, and Gary Collins of Maryland fourth with 24, and center Alex Kroll of Rutgers fifth with 22.
Romig, the smallest lineman on the UPI All America team at 5-10 and 200 pounds, previously had drawn the greatest number of votes by a lineman in the All America balloting. He earned his honors with brilliant linebacking, plus top blocking on offense.
BUT HE MIGHT just as well have won the honor for his scholastic achievements, which are so impressive that he will probably bypass professional football for academic advancement.
Romig has a 3.87 scholastic average out of a possible 4.0. In the last four semesters at Colorado, he has taken 89 hours of credit in the classroom—and scored straight A in 77. He is majoring in physics.
"HE IS THE BEST linebacker Ive ever seen," said Grandelius. "I've never seen anyone with an instinct for the ball such as he has. He is where the ball is, and it does not matter whether it's a run or a pass into his flat area. He knocked down at least seven passes, which is really unusual for a linebacker who shoots the gap most of the time."
Line Coach Buck Nystrom of Colorado issues "grades" for each player after each game after watching the movies, and he says that Romig's marks on offense after the games with Miami, Kansas State, and Oklahoma were almost as "fantastic" as his classroom grades.
At Colorado they will always remember his defensive work in two games this year. Against Nebraska, his jarring tackle produced the Nebraska fumble that led to Colorado's only score in a 7-0 victory. Against Miami, he made three straight tackles in a first-quarter goal line stand that made possible a 9-7 triumph.
ROMIG, WHEN INFORMED of his "Lineman of the Year" election, said, "I didn't expect it, but I do feel very honored."
Here is the total vote for lineman of the year:
Romig, Colorado; 63; Olsen, Utah State; 37; Neighbors, Alabama; 25.
Collins, Maryland, 24; Kroll, Rutgers, 22; Bell, Minnesota, 19; Winston, Louisiana State, 18; Richter, Wisconsin, 17; Ingram, Ohio State, 9; Campbell, Washington State, 9; Hutchinson, Kentucky, 8; Buoni-conti, Notre Dame, 7; Miller, Miami (Fla.), 5; Mather, Navy, 5; Bryant, Ohio State, Hillebrand, Colorado, Ilex, Texas Christian, Mitinger, Penn State, Purdue, Ohio State and White, Oklahoma, 3 each; Onesti, Northwestern, Dunaway, Mississippi and Talbert, Tennessee, 2 each; Asack, Columbia, Baker, Mississippi State, Beaver, Florida, Brunn, Fresno
State, BASHAM, KANSAS, Barnett, Oregon, Behrman, Michigan State, Brown, Syracuse, Elwell, Purdue, Edwards, Auburn, Garis, Arizona, Hinton, Iowa, Hull, UCLA, Kristy-nik, Texas, Le Compte, North Carolina, Lucci, Tennessee, Nelson, Xavier (Ohio), Percell, Nebraska, Smith, Mississippi, Stern, Syracuse, Taylor, North Carolina State, Vignali, Pitt and Van Euren, Iowa, 1 each.

Missouri Basketball Coach Turns Moans into Smiles
United Press International
Missouri basketball Coach Sparky Stalcup was moaning before the season started over the loss of guard Joe Scott and center Charles Henke from his basketball force.
Scott and Henke, who represented three-fourths of Missouri's scoring last year, graduated and Stalcup had no one to fill their shoes.
BUT STALCUP'S MOANS have turned to smiles with the progress of his small, inexperienced team this year.
"Everybody was picking us to finish pretty low in the conference," Stalcup said, "but they didn't count on the desire these boys have. Their spirit is terrific and I feel we are going to win some ball games."
Missouri, after two losses to open the season, whipped outmanned Washington University of St. Louis 78-50 last Wednesday and then surprised everyone by socking Northwestern 84-69 Saturday. The Tigers hit 36 of 40 free throws.
"WE HAD TO START from scratch this year and the first two or three weeks were spent on fundamentals," Stalcup said. "We're still making a lot of mistakes—but not as many."
The Missouri coach, who retires to become assistant athletic director at the end of the season, said, "we made 17 mistakes in our first game with Arkansas and looked pretty sloppy, but we have improved in each game since."
Stalcup isn't going out on a limb to predict great things for his team, but he is quick to add, "I feel we have a better team than we did last year because we are more balanced. Whereas we were forced to rely on two boys a year ago, we now have balanced scoring."
THE FELLOW WHO is making the Missouri attack click is Ken Doughty, a 6-foot 1-inch playmaker and the lone returning regular. Doughty, the team's No. 3 scorer last season with a 6.8-point average, is "just like having a coach on the floor," Stalcup said.
Missouri plays Western Ontario Saturday at Columbia in its only action.
Doughty takes complete command of the game, and his generalship in the last two contests left little to be desired.
