Jayhawks Are for Real; Title is Primary Concern
By DON BAKER
Kansan Sports Editor
As each game goes by there is less and less doubt about it—the Kansas Jayhawks are for real. You first begin to sense it Jan. 12 when they defeated a strong Georgia Tech quintet, 84-71. You became even more aware of it Jan. 30 when they defeated the Nebraska victory Saturday seemingly all doubt was removed with the Nebraska victory.
There have been other convincing wins but the three above mentioned all have one thing in common—they came on the road. This year, however, the recent KU basketball fortunes realize that failure to win on the road has played with Hajjayk a hope the lasts the game.
COACH TED OWENS HAS Said that he will be there for the determination to win on the road. The talent has been there the last three years. It's the others that are making the difference.
The more you are around this team the more you have to like and admire what you see. The high ranking, the home winning streak, the 16.4 win-lost record that is the best in the conference colleges in the nation and the public are fine and well taken. But there is only one aim—winning the Big Eight Championship. An to do this everyone on the team, including the coaches, is content to play their best against less significant on any particular one.
After Saturday's 81-47 triumph in Lincoln, a Nebraska writer asked Owens if he thought the win wrapped up the title for KU.
"No! No!" Owens emphatically said.
"This win gave us a victory and that's all.
We still have nine more games to play."
THOUGH 'OBVIOUSLY DISGUSTED by the question, Owens was later asked if he was trying to run the score up on Nebraska to help boost KU's ranking.
This time there was no holding it back as the KU head man explained in no uncertain terms the ranking was not imprecise, but was only concerned with winning the game.
Though in many eyes Saturday's win could easily be the BEN WIN that will make the team the 20th and 20 in Wichita, Owens and the entire team view it as only one in 14 league games.
"It's always good to win in Lincoln," Owens confessed later but added quickly there is still a long way to go.
Junior guard Bob Kivisto reflected the plavers' attitude.
“THERE ARE STILL SO much tough
winners you can’t win. You can win one you’re not suppose to but you can also lose one you’re not suppose to. You just have to go out and play them one by one.”
*Confidence* could also be added to that list. Though the attitude of 'playing them one at a time' is solidly engrained, the team also strongly believe it is the best.
"If we play like we can there is no team in the Big Eight that can stop us. But we still have a job to do and we just have to go out and do it."
Some accusations have been made that this team has become slightly overconfident of lot. Not so. Confident, yes, but overconfident, no.
Confidence, experience, maturity, talent and determination—the Jayhawks have it all. Just nine games垫在 the road now that they bet they all will be played once at a time.

Nebraska Can't Stop Jayhawks; Colorado Buffs Will Try Tonight

"THEY'RE PROBABLY NOT ranked high enough," a calm but obviously disappointed Cipriano said of the Jayhawks while he listened. "I don't think 12-8 overall mark and a 2:3 conference record."
After a Nebraska free throw by Marvin
pointed the stroke of eight straight KU
points, he went down.
To the delight of KU fans it wasn't much of a contest after the first twenty minutes which left Kansas ahead by one, 33-32. An Aubrey Nash lay in follow by two quick Bud Stallwell jumpers and a Dave Robbish tackle that went in front, 41-32, with still over 19 minutes remaining and the Cornhuskers were left in a cloud of dust whispering what happened.
But Saturday it was a different story after those very same Jawayks used an explosive second half to the Cornhoppers out of the bottom, but did not lose in 1st straight previous games .81-47.
Kansas' depth made itself evident as six swimmers placed in two events each. The swimmers were Tom Kemp, Marcia Wagoner, Rick Heidkemper, Bob Wright, Skultey and Sanders. Again, had powers and Bolton been the number may have been lengthened by two.
LINCOIL, Neb.—Nob. Cipriano has apparently changed his thinking. Last week the Beryl and somewhat controversial Nebraska head coach reportedly questioned the Kansas team's success in winning the Big Eight championship and going through the league slate unfeated.
The KU swimming team team the Oklahoma swimming team Saturday night and came away with an impressive and easy 81-12 victory.
For instance, Kansas lost the 400 yard Medley Relay to Oklahoma when coach Dick Reason decided to give the aling KIM Bolton an easy night by replacing him with Roland Sabaté and allowed Steve Trombold to swim in a game of the relay instead of Scott Skultety.

Kansas remains unbeaten in Big Eight dual competition and will take that record up against Colorado and Oklahoma State next weekend in Stillwater.
Reamon also pulled Bolton from the 100 yard Freestyle to save him for the 50 yard freestyle.
Still, Kansas placed first and second with Roland Salabats and Rick Hedinger. There is little doubt that Kansas could have swept the Browns in yard Freestyle (if Bolton had been ejected).

Top slot in side horse again went to Rich Schubert, Lawrence junior, whose 9.1 just edged the Cat competition. As far as team effort, however, the side horse was the worst.

"When you travel," he continued, "it's as much a different schedule. Itupdates it up a little bit, and then it's back to get to block all these things out. It's just you against that hard cold piece of steel, and it's so great."
AS LOCKWOOD EXPLAINS IT. "When you're home, you don't break your routine. You don't have to dress up, you don't do anything differently. You leave your apartment and come to the gym, just like you do every day. Then you go right through it."
The next step on the Jayhawk road tour will be Saturday afternoon at the University of Florida.

The Hawker's team score, 156, is a little off the season best but road trips are more difficult.
Brouillette, Wichita senior, who competes in all six events was KU's only all around entree. An unusually high number of little girls showed up in a sub par showing in the all around.
"The judges were very strict on vaulting," Lockwood said.
Lockwood summed up the meet saying, "I was tough judging and it was just a tough test."
He added that he felt all the KU scores in vaulting should have been higher, Bradfield, said.
"I was fairly disappointed,"锁Lockwood, "they underscrewd us. But we still went one, two, three, and had a real good team effort."

AND ANYBODY WHO HAS a Cliff Myers undoubtedly has the power to do just that. The brilliant Chicago senior currently leads the team in points and he is in addition. In addition he is pulling down nearly 10 rebounds a game and is high in assists. Still his performance will depend on stopping more than just Mussel.
The Buffs will come into the game on an 81-75 loss suffered Saturday night to Missouri in Columbia. But coach Sox Walseth's crew, led by Jake Kruger and Jerry Cmirett Jr and Jim Cregatton and 8-3 guard Dwayne Dickleman are considered prime title threats. However, like Nebraska Saturday, Colorado desperately needs to defeat KU if it hopes to catch up with the Jayhawks in the race for the
"I think Meelo is a great player but Colorado is not a one team by any means."
The win over Nebraska moved KU's overall mark to 16-1, thus adding additional pressure on poll voters to move the Hawks upward in this year's ratings.

would possess at least three loss while the
Atlanta team would play at home, which
plays next at Nebraska, and Oklahoma

best.

Just as surely as basketballs are filled with air, the Kansas Jayhawks took the mustery out of the Big Eight roundball chase Saturday.
hv United Press International
the fifth-ranked Jayhawks proved they're deserving of the lofty position. They steamed into Lincoln, Neb., where coach Joe Cipriano's Cornell team was on a tour of town with an 814-7 victory; it wasn't that close—its 16th triumph in 17 starts and a 54 record in conference play.
KU Win Pads Lead
The second half was a complete rout—the Jahyhaws led by as many as 26 points—and only a late splay by Nebraska reserves kept the score respectable.
Missouri assumed sole command of second place in the conference Saturday night with 81-76 victory over Colorado. The Tigers held典诚 to 20 points, 13 in the second quarter.
Kansas used the first five minutes of the second half to blow the Cornshurkers out of their own gym. Coach Ted Owens 'crew led by his 24-15 victory, minutes of the second half the score was 53-37.
Sophomore Steve Mitchell scored 24 points and pulled down 17 rebounds for Kansas State, which boosted its record to 5-4. Cliff Ray had 17 points and blocked three shots, which raised their record to 5-2. Oklahoma State lost its sixth straight conference game without a victory.
The reason was Bud Stallworth. Held to two points in the first half, Stallworth returned from the dressing room with his shot, and the goalkeeper made the early sneeze and finished with 17 points.
In other games Saturday night. Kansas dropped Iowa in State, Oklahoma in Oklahoma. Game 69-35
The Jayhawks' big men, Dave Robisch and Roger Brown, did their share, too. Robisch had 23 points and 11 rebounds, Brown 19 points and 12 rebounds.
Colorado 3-2 invades Lawrence Monday night, where Kansas has a 25-game home court winning streak, and Oklahoma State is on top. Nebraska goes to Iowa State Tuesday night.
