University Daily Kansan SPORTS Hawkers Play On West Coast
The Kansas Jayhawkers face a three game schedule in four days that would make even the toughest of teams wince, let alone Coach Dick Harp's quintet.
The Jayhawkers meet Southern California tonight at Los Angeles, UCLA tomorrow night also in Los Angeles and then move to Tempe, Arizona, where they meet Arizona State Monday night.
IN THE UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL pre-season poll, Southern California was rated third, Arizona State 10th and UCLA 25th.
In each contest the Jayhawkers will be at a height disadvantage.
All three contests will be broadcast, the Southern California and UCLA contests will be broadcast at 10 p.m. and the Arizona State fray at 9:25 p.m.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is a solid favorite to repeat as Big Five champion, as its entire last year's squad is returning. Coach Forrest Twogood will start an all senior lineup including an All America candidate, John Rudetkin, 6-6 center.
The rest of the Trojan starting lineup will be two 6-2 guards, Neil Edwards and Chris Appel, and forwards Ken Stanley, 6-5, and Vern Ashby, 6-3, who will alternate with 6-7 Gordon Martin. The two top reserves are juniors Bob Benedetti, 6-6, and Wells Sloniger, 6-0.
UCLA, although hard-hit by graduation, has several good holdovers who will combine with promising newcomers to mold a strong squad for the Bruins. Like KU's other opponents, the Uclans will hold a height advantage.
Two tough, experienced returning regulars will form the nucleus of the UCLA starting five. They are Garry Cunningham, 6-5, and Johnny Green, 6-3. The other starters are Pete Blackman, 6-5, Dave Waxman, 6-6, and Tom Harrell, 6-3.
Last year Arizona State had its best record in school history. 23-6. It won the league championship and took a surprise second place finish in the NCAA regional. It defeated Seattle and Southern California before losing to Utah.
TWO FORMER HIGH SCHOOL teammates will be facing each other tomorrow night. Fred Slaughter, 6-6 sophomore, is given a good chance of breaking into the Bruin lineup Slaughter and KU's Jim Dumas both played for Topeka High School.
Coach Ned Wulk thinks that this year's club could be much stronger than last year's.
HIS ENTIRE STARTING lineup returns this year. They are guards Larry Armstrong, 5-9, and Paul Disarufino, 6-2, forwards Ollie Payne, 6-4, and Tony Corkbenkin, 6-4, and center Gerald Hahn, 6-6.
Last year's strong freshman team has given Arizona State one of the finest sophomore trios 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.
KANSAS COACH DICK HARP is expected to start the same five he did in the Arkansas and St. Louis games. They will be guards Jerry Gardner, 6-0, and Nolen Ellison, 6-1, forwards Dumas, 6-1, and Loye Sparks, 6-5, and center John Matt, 6-6.
Guards Gardner and Ellison have combined for 76 points in the first two games, a 38.0 per game average.
"Jerry and Nolen already have given our crowd more thrills with their play-making and shooting than we've had for some time." said Harp.
"If he continues his momentum he can become one of the finest players in our conference," said Harp. "He can also furnish that spark you need in generating team effort."
"If they can coordinate this kind of play-making, add good team leadership and minimize their own mistakes they would bid well to become as effective a pair of guards as Dallas Dobbs and Maurice King."
AFTER TWO GAMES DUMAS, one of the shortest front-court men in the Big Eight, is pacing Kansas rebounding with an average of 10 per game.
Gymnastics Team To Face NW Okla
Dumas led the Kansas attack against St. Louis scoring 18 points, 14 in the Jayhawkers' strong second half splurge.
KU's gymnastics team will see its first competition tomorrow in a dual meet with Northwest Oklahoma State College in Alva, Okla.
Coach Bob Lockwood, assistant physical education instructor, will use a 10-man team in the Jayhawker's league of the season. The team members are:
Benny Crawford, Wichita senior; Brad Kaufman, Olathe freshman; Don Clifford, Lawrence senior; Bill Steele (captain), San Marino, Calif. senior; Fred Bramble, Lawrence freshman; Wallace Nicholson, Olathe freshman; Bill Carpenter, Pacific Palisades, Calif. freshman; Jim Bodin, Lawrence sophomore; and Lockwood.

Improved KU Swim Squad Opens Season at S. Illinois
One month ago Jay Markley, KU swimming coach, was a dejected and solemn man when he spoke of the chances of his squad. Today, as his team leaves for Southern Illinois University for an AAU meet and the season opener for KU, the KU swim boss is happy, pleased and satisfied.
"We're at the point where most teams usually are at midseason," said Markley. "This should give us a big advantage in this meet this weekend.
"THE MEN HAVE a real fine attitude, are working real hard and have come along in good style to get ready for this meet," said Mark-lev.
Last month Markley moaned about the loss of several swimmers through injuries and drop-outs but said that he now feels the KU swim chances are almost as good as he thought they would be at the start of school.
GEORGE WINTER and John Kemp, both sophomores, set new pool and varsity records this week in their preparation for the SIU meet.
"Only Reamon (Dick) is not doing as well or better than his previous best. This is only because he has only been working out for a month after getting a late start because of chlorine poisoning," said Markley.
Winter moved to a :59.4 in the 100-yard backstroke to smash the 60.9 clocking of present assistant Coach Tom Herlocker. This equalled the previous best for Winter who has done 3.2 seconds faster than his previous low in the 200-yard backstroke, turning in a 2:11.8
Kemp established a new 100-yard
Progress in Frosh Basketball Slow
Freshman basketball coach Ted Owens summed up his squad's performance thus far by saying, "They have not progressed as rapidly as we had hoped."
The biggest weakness of the yearlings according to Owens is their moving the ball down court. He cited positioning and ball-handling as the biggest problems.
He commented that three frosh football players have helped his team considerably. The three are Mike Shinn, 6-5 from Topeka, Mike O'Brien, 6-5, Liberal, and Wayne Loving, 5-11 Kansas City.
The frosh's strongest assets are "fairly good size and balance," Owens said.
Shinn and O'Brien have added height to the frosh front line. Loving, an all-state prep choice, shows promise.
The freshmen have held intrasquad games at 6 p.m. before both Jayhawker home games. The frossn will not compete before the next KU home game, a double header between KU and St. Johns, and Kansas State and Marquette.
The freshmen do not have a game until Feb. 14, against the Kansas State freshmen at Manhattan.
The Kansas State varsity whipped the freshmen 78-40 in their annual pre-season meeting. The KU frosh fell 67-63 to the Jayhawkers.
Kemp has also clipped nearly seen in seconds from his time in the 200-yard butterfly, going into the SIU with a 2.158 as his best effort.
The improvements shown by these two sophomores is representative, according to Markley, of the improvement of the entire squad.

In addition to Ward, Reamon, Kemp, and Winter, soph Bill Mills and freshman L. P. Jeter and letterman Ludy Harmon will swim.
McClinton is a 220-pound halfback who was a star sprinter for the Jayhawk track team.
KU's two new divers, Steve Sanneman and freshman football player Ron Marsh, who was an All America diver in high school, are also making the trip.
Blaine is a 220-pound guard.
In challenging this tough competition, KU will be dependent upon outstanding individual performances to make a good showing. The chances of this happening appear good since all of the seven swimmers going have bettered the fifth place times from last year.

Anne Bancroft earns over $150,000 a year - yet eats in Times Square cafeterias. And she's probably the only gal in Hollywood to turn down a starring role opposite Frank Sinatra. Meet the star of "Miracle Worker" in this week's Post.

it was reported last night.
But spokesmen for the host Junior Rose Bowl and Bakersfield College said they saw no roadblock to Saturday's junior college classic.
The Los Angeles Examiner made the disclosure in a story outlining the possible penalties facing Cameron in the bowl against Bakersfield, Calif.
The Examiner reported the player, defensive halfback Oscar Pickering, signed for $25,000 and played for St. Petersburg. But a provision of the conference of which Cameron is a member did not make him ineligible for participating in another sport.
