Hawkers Lose Two, Face Arizona State
University Daily Kansan
The Kansas Jayhawkers have one last chance to salvage a victory out of their West Coast trip when they meet Arizona State tonight in Tempe at 9:30 (CST).
Kansas has lost both previous games on the trip and now stand 1-3 for the season. Third-ranked Southern California defeated KU 78-70 Friday night and 25th-ranked UCLA pinned a 69-61 loss on the Jayhawkers Saturday night.
Arizona State will start the same lineup tonight that last year rolled to the best record in the school's history, 23-6, and finished second in the NCAA regional after defeating Southern California and Seattle.
THEIR STARTING LINEUP will be: guards Larry Armstrong, 5-9, and Raul Durafino, 6-2, forwards Ollie Payne, 6-4, and Tony Cerkbenik, 6-4, and center George Hahn, 6-6.
Coach Ned Wulk thinks that this year's club could be much stronger than last year's.
Last year's strong freshman squad has given Arizona State one of the finest sophomore tries since Ohio State's Jerry Lucas, John Havlicek and Mel Nowell.
The three are Dennis Dairman, 6-5, Art Becker, 6-9, and Joe Caldwell, 6-5. All averaged 20 points per game in fresh competition.
Friday night the big story was John Rudometkin, Southern California's All America candidate for center. The 6-6 post man proved his worth as he canned 10 field goals, seven free throws for 27 points, the game's top individual total.
He also was a "horse" on the boards as he pulled down 13 rebounds, the game high.
RUDOMETKIN GOT SUPPORT from his teammates as three others scored in double figures. Gordon Martin, 6-7 forward, scored 17 points.
Chris Appel, 6-2 guard, 11 points, and Neil Edwards, 6-2 guard, 10 points.
There was one bright showing for the Javhawkers and that was sophomore forward Harry Gibson. Gibson came off the bench to hit 9 of 14 attempts from the field for 18 points.
Friday night's contest was Gibson's finest showing since his prep days. Gibson was an all-stater and led Wyandotte High School, Kansas City, Kan., to a state championship.
Nolen Ellison was the Jayhawkers' high point man with 19. Ellison canned 8 of 19 from the field, shot three out of four from the line.
Jerry Gardner, who teams with Ellison at the guard post, did not have his usual high point total, but was the Jayhawkers' leading rebounder with nine. Gardner scored 12 points.
SATURDAY NIGHT Gardner rebounded from his mediocre play the night before and hit 13 fields goals and two free throws for 28 points.
Ellison was second high for the Jayhawkers with 17.
Johnny Green, who had averaged 25 points in UCLA's first two frays. both losses to Brigham Young, canned 8 field goals and five charity tosses for 21 points.
THESE THINGS accounted for the Jayhawker loss, the fundamental error (bad pass, traveling, etc.) the personal foul and the inability to score in tight situations.
Pete Blackman was second on the Bruin squad with 18 points. He scored 11 of these to lead UCLA to a 35-28 halftime lead. Blackman was averaging 10 points per game.
The Jayhawkers' play was erratic as they were sporadically hot and cold the entire game. Their first five scoring opportunities failed before Gardner canned a 20-foot set shot.
At this juncture the score was 6-2
UCLA. The Bruins built their lead to seven points, 12-5, before the Jayhawkers caught fire.
With Gardner leading the way the Jayhawkers rallied to lead the Bruins momentarily 14-13 with 13 minutes left in the first half. Garry Cunningham scored on a layin. The Jayhawkers were unable to score consistently and the Bruins led the rest of the way.
With five minutes to go in the contest the Bruins held an 11 point margin. Gardner, Ellison and Vance scored to cut the Bruin margin to 65-60 with two minutes remaining.
KU fouled 18 times against UCLA while the Bruins fouled 14 times. Ellison picked up his third foul midway through the first half and played cautiously the rest of the game.
THE BRUINS slowed down the play and took advantage of KU's desperate attempts to get the ball and fed to Johnny Green under the basket for two goals, icing a 69-61 lead.
KU committed more personal fouls than their opponents in both games. Against Southern California the Jays committed 17 fouls while the Trojans held themselves to nine.
Ellison, Sparks and Dumas each collected four fouls. Green and Cunningham had four for UCLA.

Buckeye's Ferguson Named 'Back of Year'
United Press International
NEW YORK — (UPI)—Bob Ferguson, Ohio State's linemashing fullback who already signed to play with the Pittsburgh Steelers next season, is college football's "Back of the Year" for 1961 in a nationwide poll by United Press International.
The 207-pound Buckeye star captured the honor by a small but clear margin over Syracuse University halfback Ernie Davis in voting by 324 sports writers and broadcasters throughout the country.
Ferguson's selection as "Back of the Year" was enthusiastically endorsed by Coach Woody Hayes of Ohio State.
Ferguson, who previously had proved the top vote-getter on the UPI All America team when he was mentioned on 90.1 per cent of all ballots cast, was the "Back of the Year" selection on 94 ballots. Davis, who broke Jimmy Brown's rushing records at Syracuse, was second with 70 and speedy halfback James Saxton of Texas was third with 58.
THE STEELERS, who made Ferguson their no. 1 choice in the annual National Football League draft, announced his signing last Friday. To get him they out to outbid the San Diego Chargers, who made him their no. 1 choice in the American Football League draft.
"This is a great honor and Bob Ferguson certainly deserves it." said Hayes. "He has been a real All America both on and off the field. He is one of the truly great athletes that college football has ever developed."
THE 22-YEAR-OLD Ferguson who hails from Troy, Ohio, played his sophomore year at Ohio State as a halfback but switched to fullback for his junior and senior years. He also is an excellent linebacker on defense, but it's his ground-gaining figures that are eye-catching.
During 1961, Ferguson ran 202 times and gained a net of 938 yards for an average of 4.6 yards. He scored 11 touchdowns and one twopoint conversion for 68 points. For his three years on the varsity, Ferguson carried the mail 423 times and gained 2,162 yards, an average of 5.1 yards. He scored 26 touchdowns and a total of 158 points.
He was named to the UPI All- America team both last year and this year.
Pittsburg Wins Camellia Bowl
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — (UPI)—The Pittsburg State Gorillas are the number one team in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)—but they won't deny Linfield's claim to the no two spot.
The Gorillas wound up their season of 11 victories—seven by shutouts—as they defeated Linfield. 12-7, Saturday in the first annual Camellia Bowl game. It was the first loss for the Oregon team, which was unbeaten and untied in season play.
THE PITTSBURG PLAYERS all agreed that Linfield was "by far" the toughest opponent they had faced all year. The Gorillas had to rely on two long plays for the victory.
Robert (Steamboat) Fulton, a junior halfback, raced unmolested 64 yards around left end on the first play from scrimmage to give Pittsburg its first score.
HALFEACK Archie Ringgenberg set up the final TD in the fourth quarter when he intercepted a Linfield pass on his own seven and sprinted 87 yards before he was brought down.
