Win Over Colorado Would Insure Title
Carrying a 15 game winning streak and the nation's number five ranking, the Kansas Jayhawks will be shooting for a title tie and possible outright championship when they take on Colorado in Boulder. Tipoff time is 9:05 p.m. Central Standard Time.
Had Oklahoma State defeated Missouri Wednesday night, KU would be going into the game with a definite chance to win the game. The team was slipped by OSU, 69-47; took three games out with four to play.

Inside Intramurals
By HAL WHALEN Kansan Sports Writer
In an attempt to better understand the sport he was writing about, George Plimpton lambed sports writer and author, would participate in a game where he failed to quarterback the Detroit Lions in a real-pro football game, he gained the dubious recognition of being the best player.
Last night, guided by a Pliptonian spirit, I too ventured into the world of real sport when I showed up to play in a "C" league (these were called "Pliptonic") and became my best peer sport and the fact that I was going to play with a top notch team (won 1 and lost 4 last year) with a flawless season. 10-hed I had a little tense. Would I too, like Pliptonie, be a taller player? That terrible name fate and be known as the "Paper Wienie"?
THE BALL WAS TOSED up and the contest began. Both teams had just been beaten, and one ragged. But the teams soon started to click and the basket was soon swishing at both ends of the court. A few fouls punctured play here and there and the first seven minute quarter rapidly came up.
Third quarter started and I was in for Jim Henderson, Richmond, Indiana senior, who was the shortest gug on the floor. Why Jim offered to come out I am not sure. I think partly because he is a nice guy and partly because he has never seen
Suddenly I noticed that the guy I was supposed to cover was no longer on the court and I was frantic. The only thing I knew for sure I was supposed to do was cover that man. About a minute of personal chaos passed and then to my relief Gus called time.
GUS LIND, KANSAS CITY, Kan. senian, who is the team captain told me which man I was to defend against. I too was caught in that tidal movement of players who move from one end of the court down to the other end and back.
The second quarter followed pretty much the same and scoring stayed even. Perspiration was flowing freely now, dampening the shirts of the competition and beading up then dripping down the bare skin backs of the Green Wienies. I had previously tied a bandanna around my forehead to keep sweat away from my face while I remained on the bench until the end of the second quarter.
I sheepshied asked who was I supposed to cover. Mark Brewer, Wichita senior, answered almost anglely that I had taken the yellow shirt and put it on the yellow shirt was my man. At this point I had not touched the tail yet and M mark standing at the side lines gave me permission.
OUR TEAM'S MOMENTUM gradually stalled, although you can't really blame that on me, and I contributed to our team fouls by getting a little too close to that kid in the yellow shirt. We had to be careful when we shot a shot. The team, however, had acquired a deficit, 38 to 28.
I was out and Jim was back in. It wasn't even talked about but I think it was just understood.
The team fight back with Dekel Hamm, Norton senior, and Rich Waterman, Kansas City, Kan. junior, pumping in margin closing points. The other team, the Northeast Gandy Boppers, lost too much for the Wiennes and held onto their lead, 44-37.
Gus, Jim and Dick scored 4 each. Mark put in 8 and Rich led the night with 17. Whalen scored 0.
Unless the guys will have me back, I'm afraid that the "Paper Wienie" has played his first and last game.
But that's not what is really important. I had fun and that is
what I'm most all about. Some win and some lose but
everybody, even the guy who played
Just a sentence to remind you co-ree volleyballers to get your rosters in by Monday.
LAWRENCE, Kan—Dan Fambrighen, Kansas football coach, today completed his staff with the addition of Ken Blue, a defensive guard who coached the St. Louis Cardinal linebackers last fall.
Blue is the ninth full-time assistant named by Fambrough since he succeeded Pepper Rodgers early last month.
KU Staff Completed
SITTING ON THE BENCH is something Randy Cannone cannee on, doing any longer. The 6-9 sophomore center on KU's number five ranked basketball team was given clearance Wednesday by the university to play in a game against Utah at Jan. 11. Coach Ted Owens, whose Jayawahs can clinch at a tie for the Big Eight championship Saturday when they tangle with Colorado, will take his place at Utah, Buffs. The Hawks are now 21 overall and 10-6 in conference play.
The new Jayhawk assistant played at the University of San Francisco in 1940-41 and after four years of military service transferred to San Jose State to join the Army in 1947. He was a linebacker, guard and blocking back at various times.
Blue began coaching in 1948 the same year as Fambridge and has 25 years experience in the field. Bachelor's degree college and professional ranks
Blue's first coaching job was at San Jose high school where he produced one undefeated team and won two conference championship games. He then drake high school at San Anselmo, Calif., in 1953 and after one season became head coach at San Antonio, Calif. in six years at Hartnell he turned out two undefeated clubs and earned a jump to the major college ranks backfield coach at New Mexico.
HOUSTON (UPI)—Lynn Dickey of Kansas State, the greatest passing quarterback in the history of the Big Eight conference, signed a multi-year contract with the Houston Oilers Wednesday.
He was at New Mexico from 1960 through 1966, then switched to University of Pacific for three years. Following the 1969 campaign Blue was elevated to head coach of the 1970s team. His brief career as a college head
Dickey Signs With Houston
Dickey, a 6-4, 218-pounder from Osawatomie, the Owler's third round draft choice. Neither Dickey nor Owler owner Bud Adams would reveal whether the contract was for two or three years or the money of the bonuses, he said it was "a good contract."
Adams said the Oilers probably would pay about $100,000 in funds from the team. Dickey completed 501 passes in 994 attempts for 6,208 yards and 29 touchdowns in his three-year career. He ranked sixth in the high school rankings for the career and 12th last year when he was slowed by arib injury.
Blue was born and reared in San Francisco and received a masters degree at Stanford in 1960. She then three children, Robert, 18, Liz An, 16, and Kathy, 6. Mrs. Blue and the child plan to remain in St. Louis until the present school begins before moving to Lawrence.
One of his linebackers with last season's 8-51 club was Larry Stallings, who made the all-pro defense. He also Dennis Don Parrish and Chleu Healy.
Mason, who at the Astrodome the Big Eight's all-time indoor champion, one of Jim Ryun's old marks, will have to best another quality field. He'll need to outpace Hogan and Doe Hostetting, Kansas State's Rick Hitchcock and Curtis Unger, all of whom have been under nine minutes indoors. Additionally, Iowa State's Dennis McGuire must be considered a
coach to join the St. Louis Cardinals.

Hatcher only ranks as number two among league pole vaulters. Colorado's Dave Bussaburger has been 16-6, 5-0 in both the current standard, and is a potential clearer of 17.
The league's two-mile record is 8:51.0 but could wilt under this onslaught of competition.
IT WAS LAST YEAR that Nehchoe ran a time equal to Severson in the 88 when Swenson, as the winner, broke one of Jim Ryun's records. Nehchoe ran twice over Oklahoma State's fast-rising Larry Rose and Peter Kaal and Nebraska newcomer
Still, they might not all be in the half. The 1,000 is the sister event and Rose leads all to that event at Kentucky, but it strongly considered must be Kansas State's Mike Peterson, the winner here two years ago, State's Mike Stegle, Freeze, Colorado State's Mike Stegle, and Negraka's Jim Hawkins.
Carlberg isn't alone in the mile, an event filled with exceptional quality. Kansas State's Jerome Howe went 4:01 at the Kentucky State vs. Oklahoma State's Peter Kaelhak to a 4:03 for his best. Add to this group Doug Smith and Mike Solomon of Kansas and Missouri's Toby Kelly and the totals to tie Big Eight mile field of all time.
THE COLORADO DUO leads quick races. Walker, who is this season's winner, will be the favorite in the 60 games and lows. He'll have to keep his head up.
KU Hosts High School Swimming

though, in Oklahoma State's Jim Bolding in the lows and Kansas State's Luci Williams in the bigs.
This just quickly illustrates the overall conference balance. As interesting thing is trying to failure, anybody who really is badly is put on their athletes.
The 60-yard dash could be taken by Branch, who owns a share of the world's indoor best at the U.S. Open, and is back here too with Gray's decision to compete again. Gray and returning Everett Marshall of Oklahoma are co-holders of the Big Eight's 6.0 record in the

Had Missouri lost, Kansas would have automatically had a tie for the championship clinched. The Jayhawks, now 10-10 in conference play on the strength of their nine pastings, 48 pastings of Kansas State, would have had a four game lead with that many to play.
Tigers Slip By; Race Still Alive
On the heels of the Missouri, in what appears to be only a race for second place and the resulting Tournament, they won the Tournament, are Oklahoma (7-4) and Nebraska (6-4). The Sooners ripped the Cornshuskers in Lansing.
COLUMBIA, Mo (UOP)—Greg Flaker sank two free throws with four seconds left in overtime Wednesday to lift Missouri to a 10-7 victory over Oklahoma State. Flaker, a 6-2 junior guard, also forced the overtime period when he connected on both ends of a one-and-one situation with 18击, go to knotting the score at 61-61.
