Play of Aubrey Making Difference
By DON BAKER
Kansas Sports Editor
**Editor**
Eight down and six to go and Kansas Jayhawks have all but clinched the Big Eight tie. Surrounded by few enough conference coaches refused to predict a KU claim to the title before the season's start, what little doubt that remains can be done away with Saturday when second place Missouri, currently 6-2, invades Allen Field House.
Inability to win on the road has been a critical hurdle many aspirants, including KU the last three years, have failed to overcome even the current contingent of Jayawaks seem involuntary to this as they repeatedly forbid foes to rain on their parade.
BUT EVEN AFTER the Jahywaks' convincing Big Eight Tournament won, few honestly thought KU, or any other team that went through the league state untouched. Now as each game goes on, changing though most are still not ready to place their bet (unless they themselves). Obviously the trend of thought is gradually worn out? Will KU win the championship? to "Will KU go undefended?"
The very fact KU has now won four league road games in the last five weeks no one thought it did. And one does not have to look far for KU's team.
It comes in the form of a 6-1 junior guard who rapidly is changing early season boots to late season cheerers.
Glen Anderson, Joe Ciptaean and, of day, Monday night. John Anderson, the contract agree as their teams have all been stung by the recent assaults.
"NO DOUBT ABOUT..." MacLeod said Monday night after *bush* the Sooners had fallen to Nash and the Hawks, 71-48. "bush made shooting and our inability to keep them off the offensive line was a huge blow in that he could shoot that well—25 and 30 feet—from the outside."
What has made the difference. There is no doubt in Nash's mind
"I'm playing with a lot more confidence now," he said. "And we're playing better as a team and that helps."
Ted Wews must agree for the KU head man played Nash, night amidst a tense and miserable second through the fourth. Monday night amidst a tense and miserable second through the fourth.
"He was playing such a fine all around game I didn't feel I could take him out," Owens said.
OWENS SAID EARLIER in the year if KU was to win big this year Nash would have to play up to his potential. This, Owens agrees, he is doing and it looks more and more like things are coming up roses for the Crimson and Blue.
It's around a thousand miles to Houston but the trip getting it could be a lot longer. Winning the Big Eight championship and finishing third side tour in Wichita are two objects standing in the air. There's less and less a problem. But the latter could easily be a different staircase.
The continued recent play of Nash specifically, and the entire team generally, will serve as a pretty smooth ride to the Astrodome. Without it the road could still get bumpy even though the championship appears to be safely under wraps.
--scorer, people don't seem to look at anything else you do."

PLAYING WHAT IS LIKELY his best all-around ball since putting on a Kansas uniform, Jayhawk guard Aruh Nash (25) has given KU needed lift in recent games. Shown here flipping a short shot out the out-stretched arms of Oklahoma's Bobby Jack in Monday night's game, Nash scored 2 half points to bring the Jayhawks back from a 53-38 half time deficit to a crucial 71-64 victory. A 6-1 junior from Hyattsville, Md., Nash is currently averaging 6.4 point a game overall and 9.0 points against league负。
Palmer, Stockton Compete for Title
NEW YORK (UPI)—Diane Stockton, the PGA champ, flagged down cab, opened the door inside. She made an immediate discovery.
He was riding with a typical New York cab driver. The guy never quit talking.
H TALKED ABOUT ecology,
philosophy and psychology and
then he got into sports. In no time
at all he was talking about Ar-
turism, the man and his win in
Bob Hope Desert Classic this past
weekend.
"Yeah," said the cabbie, "I was very happy to see him win. He's been in a bad slump."
Dave Stockton didn't mind Arnold Palmer winning the Bob
Hope at all. Why should he? Dave Stockton wasn't even in it.
Now the PGA championship at Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., next week is another story.
DAVE STOCKTON HOPES to win that one himself. If he wins, he is perfectly with him if he wins. But once stockton has always admired 'palmer and he knows the major palmer is his major one Palmer has never won yet.
"I got a kick out of that cab driver," Stockton said at a hearing in the Metropolitan Golf Writers club where he and Billy Casper were among the guests. "He said Arnold's been in a slump. Some he's been in the top five in every tournament. I don't call that a slump."
"The last time I played with Palmer was in the PGA last season to win right up until the end but he put so bad he did not even scare me because when he knew I knew he'd miss it. He knew it."
"NOW HE'S PUTTING much better. He's playing fantastic and like everybody else I think it's great for the game. Do I think he is going to play? Very definitely, i think his chances are better than mine." Why?
"Because," Stockton saio,

DAVE STOCKTON REALIZES he probably won't be at the top of his game when he has to defend him. He will be roiling for Arnold Palmer to win the same way they were playing, but that won't bother him too much.
"I’m a funny person," he said. "When I say good吓 you! I mean it, I pick my ball out of the hole and grab it with a knock in it. Maybe it’s not a good killer attitude but I don’t wish anybody bad luck. I just want to be honest. If I can’t be, I have no objection at all to Arnold Palmer winning at
"I've had to lay off playing for two weeks and not having played in two weeks is going to dim my chances."
The last competitive golf Stockton played was in the Hawaiian Open 10 days ago when round 78 and finished 20th.
Oglethorpe Tactics Fail
He and his wife, Cathy, ran from the earthquake in Los Angeles right after that following which Stockton had to make a business trip to Acapulco and then help his brother, David, take California. Home for, awhile burglaries—a highly sophisticated alarm system has been installed
Oglethorpe had been smashed earlier this year 82-43 by Ten-ranked small college basketball team, and planned a slowdown to try and reverse the outcome this season. "I didn't plan on such cooperation."
The final score was Tennessee State 7, Odorchetron 4 and no runs were scored. They were scored and they didn't use ice skates. It was slowest out of the three.
Tennessee State took a 4-0 lead on baskets by Rory Dorsey and Boyd Neal and then went right to Terry Kirksey, who held the halftime score remained 4-0.
The score held up at 4-0 through a good part of the second half until Oglethero, desperate for tomb, began to tear. Tennessee State's game of its four foul shots to "put the game out of reach" at 7-0

ONE OF THE TOP NOTCH performers from KU's defending Big Eight champion swimming team has been Bob Wright, last week's dual action against Colorado and Oklahoma State. Wright City, Kan., junior, won both the 202-yard freestyle and the 400-yard breaststroke. In addition he was also a part of KU's first place 400-metre relay team, having completed their duel schedule with a 1:07 rest and his counterparts jump into the first of three straight tournament games when they join eight other schools in the Southern Collegiate League, Ga.
