The buttons were the idea of a group of students (called "We're Number One, Inc.") with the purpose of selling them to raise money to help send the vell leaders, pompoms girls and KU pupeb to Wichita and hopefully Houston.

By HAL WHALEN There will be no vacation for the tennis team as a whole week of tennis is scheduled for the Kansas squad starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. The team will then travel to Tulsa for a dual with Oral Roberts University Tuesday and to Canyon, Tex., for an eight school tournament that will three days starting Thursday. KUTennis Team Meets Arkansas The ten team KU队 lost only one of its starters to graduation from its last year's third place conference team. "The season should be better than last," said Coach Bob Lock-hawk. "I think this year's team has a great depth of bit. Depth is not surpassed." Because of a lack of good weather for outside practice Lackey has been showing at first. Since the first of the semester the team practice has been confined to the football court in Allen Field House. "We have only been outside three times because of bad weather and this has been our first time we can do on the basketball court, because it's so fast and we don't have any lines, we work on form. You can play the net and work on it, but you can't serve." he said. Of the ten players who made their four are returning letterhead—Jim, wood senior, Ken Williams, Webster Grove, Mo. senior, Cal Williams. and Tom Carlson, Leawood sonhomore. only six men will travel for competition in road meets and intra-taime competition for starting positions is always high. "We are very strong six men deep" coach Lockwood said. "We weren't that strong last year." The conference championship is determined by the conference meet alone, which is the 21st and 22nd of May at Sillatown, Okla. "We just try to make our dual matches prepare us for the conference meet," Lockwood said. "I expect that this year, if you are able to participate, you should be able to challenge favored Oklahoma for first place." KU Teams Keep Active KU athletic teams will not stop for the spring break as nearly all teams are involved with games or meets. Most prominent in the news is the KU basketball team which hosts Oklahoma Saturday Missouri Monday and returning home for Nebraska March 13. Other teams involved are the KU track team which will travel to Detroit next weekend for the game, and the baseball team which is on an eight-game road swing in Oklahoma and Texas; and the KU tennis team which is also on a home court in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. By DON BAKER Kansan Sports Editor After suffering only slight ridicule earlier in the week for my all-Big Eight selections (some people simply can not figure how Bad Stallwau can be left off the first team) I now put myself on the line again United Press Internationale sent out its all-American form last week and ballots must be in by Saturday. I must, if confused, was difficult simply because I have not seen many of the nation's college best (in fact I have seen only four of the ten for each school). We are really in the same situation so perhaps our ignorance will offset each other and somehow come up with a representative team. FIRST TEAM: *G- Austin Carr (63, 10ure Dame)—Not only a first team pitch but also my choice for Player of the Year. The Irish have been up and down—Carr up and the rest down—but this guy has got to be the best in the collegiate ranks. G—John Roche 6-4, South Carolina) The Gamecocks are just ranked behind Kane in the latest UPI poll and this guy is the top receiver. F=Cliff Mermley (6-8, Colorado)—Perhaps the top pro prospect next to Carr. Because the Buffs are not having an exceptional year he will probably be slighted by many voters but without question he's the greatest college basketball player I've seen. F—Dave Robish (6-10, Kansas)—No one figured the Jayhawks would be 23-1ight now but then no one figured Robish would become the complete player he is now. The two anw in hand and compilent each other beautifully. Robisch, Meely First Team Picks C—Jim McDaniels (7-0, Western Kentucky) —Without question the best seven-footer I've ever seen. A great outside shot as well as ballhandler and how many seven-footers can do all this? SECOND TEAM: G-Ken Durret (67, La Salle)—Likely the best cornerman in the nation. Durrett won led La Salle, currently 49-back, into one of its greatest seasons. G—Dean M'Mminger (6-0, Marquette)—The Warriors have won 37 in roar and "The Dream" (as he's called north) is as much responsible as anyone. Named as most valuable player in last year's NIT, he may be better than Roche. F = Sidney Wicks (6-8, UCLA)—Considered by many the best 6-8 man in the country (Till I'll take Meely), this could be the man that personally puts an end to Kansas' picnic (if both make it to Houston). F-Howard Porter (6-8, Villanova)—Despite a disappointing show by the team, Porter put on a fabulous show in this year's Jayshawk Classic that won't be long forgotten by this writer. C-Artis Glimore (7, 2, Jacksonville) > After finishing second, last year the Dolphins are making a run for it again and they are not going to lose. And now my final- Coach of Coach. Call me biased if you wear a jacket. And the Jayhawks are not 22; and rated fifth (6th by AP) because they active alone. And Owens has not become the third winningest active coach in the nation (on the nation basis) with out-reasonable stats. Defending Owens will probably be easier than defending some of my other choices. It's all a matter of trying to be as objective as possible. In this case, however, when you are not totally familiar with everyone involved, it is difficult to achieve.

An OU win Saturday would nearly wrap up a NIT bid. But the Jayhawks have a lot going for them including two winning streaks. KU has reedered its offense and is a season's, lone setback, at history—historic, coming when the first 28-game string was Auditorium. A 28-game string was snapped by Oklahoma in 1941 and a 35-game streak was ended Oklahoma will likely come into the game with fire in its eyes realizing the benefits a victory over Oklahoma has brought Scott Martin and Bobby Jack, have carried coach John Cox, have carried coach Josh Allen current 18-6 overall mark and 64 of 72 ready to play," he said of the OU game, "because we would lose and then lose to Missouri Monday and then lose to the last game with Nebraska." Ranked fourth in the nation in one poll and fifth in the other, the Kansas Jayhawks will attempt to finalize half of all those tentative post-season travel plans for seasons when the team plays Oklahoma Sooners at 1:10 p.m. regionally televised contest in Allen Field House. A KU victory will clinch the title and end all speculation on the Jahawk's pending trip to Wichita March 18 and 26 for the game. The team, along with a KU loss will keep the door open for the Missouri Tigers to catch up and force a playoff game to decide the regional entry. The Tigers travel to New Orleans night for a date with the Wildcats. No doubt the Tigers are looking forward to getting the Jayhawks in Brewer (the game will be the second game) and house as the Tigers will play in a new facility next year), and it will help determine if the issue was settled before. "We haven't had any help in winning this thing yet," he said earlier in the week. "We are just going to go out and do it ourselves." A Missouri loss in Manhattan would end the race regardless of the KU-Oklahoma outcome but it wouldn't mean those said he isn't looking for help. By DON BAKER Kansan Sports Editor KU Win Over Sooners Would End Title Race KU will receive little rest after the game as Monday night it will be off to Columbia for a repeat game. Owens has said he doesn't want to go into Columbia and old Brewer of the race still at stake the question of the race still at stake Plenty of seats remain for Saturday's clash with Oklahoma but both the Missouri game and the Nebraska game have been declared sellouts. conference record. Martin is a 6-1 guard and Jack is a 6-5 forward. Louisville just before Christmas. If the Jayhawks hurdle would become the school's longest, would be the 1936 team notched in a row before bowing in the Olympic playoffs in Kansas City to Utah The other KU streak is a run of 25 consecutive wins in Allen Field House. That string has been exceeded only twice in KU "It's important that we are The 27-year-old Frazier has made a similar promise.

Still unwilling to concede that he was stripped of the title though he was striped of the title in 1967 for refusing to go into the Army, Clay brought along his son. "Do I look in shape? Do I look like I'm fat?" Clay asked. "Can you see me gathered at the Garden. He was standing when he asked the question and looked quite ripe. Mr. Gardener appeared around his stomach. W 22 L 1 Pct.

The team came back after their exams, both men returned to their training camps. Frazier has gotten his weight town to 207 and plans to taper off its workouts the next two days.
