1963 Freshman Squad Sports Size, Balance
George Unseld. KU's sophomore center, poured in 35 points in his freshman debut against Kansas State at Manhattan just a little over 11 months ago.
Bv Roy Miller
Don't expect a member of this year's fresh basketball team to perform a similar feat.
SIZE AND BALANCE describe the 1963 Jayhawker freshmen. There probably won't be any individual high scorers, at least not to a 35-point extent.
The Jayhawks open their fourgame schedule here Feb. 2 with Iowa State in a game starting at 5:20 p.m.
"We aren't able to score in the pivot as well as Unseld scored, although we eventually think Wesley (Walter, Fort Meyers, Fla., freshman) will be a good-enough shooter;" Ted Owens, freshman coach, said in a comparison of past and present first-year teams.
"WELL HAVE a little better all-round play at the forwards. We don't have as good guard play over-all." Owens continued.
Wesley is the top center prospect and, at 6-10, the tallest freshman in the Big Eight. Wesley was allstate in Florida and averaged 17.7 points and 14.3 rebounds per game at Dunbar High School in Fort Mevers.
"Wesley is a boy with the potential to be a very outstanding player," Owens said. "He has much to learn about the game, but he is a willing student and has the equipment.
"HE'S THE FASTEST big man we have. And, I'm not so sure that he couldn't out-run anyone we have for the length of the court."
Riney Lochmann, 6-5; Steve Renko, 6-4, and Fred Chana, 6-8, are the top contenders for the forward positions.
"Lochmann is a real strong rebounder, and, at times, a real good shooter. He has an exceptionally fine attitude." Owens said.
Lochmann, a Wichita North High graduate, was all-state and an All America high school choice.
RENKO. QUARTERBACK-fullback for the freshman football team, reported late. Besides the football delay, Renko was also weary of combining basketball and scholastic efforts.
"Renko has been a tremendous addition to our squad," the freshman coach said. "He's quick, a fine shooter and an outstanding rebounder."
Renko, who also has baseball capabilities such that KU had to attract him from professional baseball offers, "may become a great
Dotson Meets Top Milers
Bill Dotson may have to run the best race of his career Saturday if the ex-Kansas miler is to gain his second first-place finish in as many weeks when he competes in the Los Angeles Invitational indoor track meet.
Dotson, who is completing his studies here this semester, finds himself in faster competition in the Los Angeles meet. Also invited are Jim Beatty, Jim Grelle, and Cary Wisiger.
The four runners participated in one of the fastest American mile races ever last summer in the AAU national outdoor meet at Walnut, Calif. All four crossed the tape in under four minutes in that race.
It's history now, but Beatty and Grelle led the field, in that order, and Wisiger and Dotson tied for third in 3:59. Dotson, thus, became the first Big Eight runner ever to turn in a sub-four-minute-mile.
all-round athlete at KU," according to Owens, Renko, a Wyandotte High graduate, was also an all-state selection.
CHANA, BROOKFIELD, ill., another prep all-stater, "has improved tremendously in recent weeks," Owens said.
"Our greatest need at this time is finding the other backcourt player who can give us more consistent performance, both on offense and defense." Owens said.
Del Lewis, all-state playmaker for Washburn Rural High of Topeka, has a fairly secure hold on one guard spot. Lewis was a high school teammate of Ron Paradis, now a Kansas State frosh star, and KU coaches believe they obtained the best of the twosome.
"LEWIS PLAYS WELL under control." Owens said of the 6-1 guard. "He has a good concept of team defense. He's shooting well now, but, earlier he had trouble. Lewis is a smart basketball player."
Sherman Stimley, 5-11, Jackson, Miss., and Tom Jones, 6-0, Kansas City, are the top prospects for the other guard spot in question. Others battling for the position are Larry Norris, 6-3, Kansas City, Mo.; Loyce Bailey, 6-0; Topeka, and George Kopp, 6-0, Kansas City, Mo.
Theta Chi and Hasbinger Hall are the campus' best men and women bowling teams.
Top Bowling Teams Chosen
Their respective championships came at the conclusion of the first semester bowling tournament Sunday. Theta Chi's winning score was 5823 and Hashinger's was 2567.
Acacia and GSP #1 finished second in the men and women division respectively. Acacia had a 5723 score, and GSP #1 2472.
James Connellly, Turon junior, received a trophy for bowling the highest one-game total, 256. The second highest game was that of Richard Hinshaw, Wellington freshman, 253.
Robert D. Moore, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, had the highest average, 192, and the highest score for three games, 685. Terrel G. Hays, Shawnee junior, was second high for an individual game with 191, and Harry Rybolt, Ottawa junior, had second high three-game total with 662.

INFERIORITY CAN BE FUN
The second gravest problem confronting college students today is inferiority feelings. (The first gravest problem is of course, the recent outbreak of moult among sorority house canaries.) Let us today look into the causes of inferiority feelings and their possible eures.
Psychologists divide inferiority feelings into three principal categories:
1. Physical inferiority.
3. Financial inferiority.
2. Mental inferiority.
(A few say there is also a fourth category: ichthyological inferiority—a feeling that other people have prettier fish—but I believe this is common only along the coasts and in the Great Lakes area.)
Let us start with the feeling of physical inferiority, perhaps the easiest to understand. Naturally we are inclined to feel inferior to the brawny football captain or the beautiful homecoming queen. But we should not. Look at all the people, neit'er brawny nor beautiful, who have made their marks in the world. Look at Napoleon. Look at Socrates. Look at Caesar. Look at Lassie.
We are inclined to feel inferior
What I mean is that you can't always tell what's inside a package by looking at the outside. (Sometimes, of course, you can. Take Marlboro Cigarettes, for example. Just one glance at that jolly red-and-white package—so bright and pert—so neat but not gaudy—so perfectly in place whether you are at a formal dinner or a beach picnic—so invariably correct for any time, clime, or condition—one look, I say, at this paragon of packs and you know it has to contain cigarettes of absolute perfection. And you are right! That pure white Marlboro filter, that fine, flavorful blend of Marlboro tobaccos, will give you a smoke to make the welkin ring, whatever that is. So those of you who have just been sitting and admiring your Marlboro packs since the beginning of the semester, why don't you open a pack and light one? Light a cigarette, I mean—not the package. Then you can settle back and smoke your Marlboro and, at the same time, continue to gaze rapturiously at the pack. Thus you will be twice as happy as you are if that is possible.)
But I digress. Let us turn now to the second category—mental inferiority. A lot of people think they are dumber than other people. This is not so. It must be remembered that there are different kinds of intelligence. Take, for instance, the classic case of the Sigafos brothers, Claude and Sturbridge, students at Wake Forest. It was always assumed that Claude was the more intelligent just because he knew more than Sturbridge about the arts, the sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and like that. Sturbridge, on the other hand, was ten times smarter than Claude when it came to tying granny knots. But no matter; everybody looked down on "Stupid Sturbridge," as they called him and looked up at "Clever Claude," as they called him. But who do you think turned out to be the smart one when their granny almost got loose and ran away? You guessed it—good old Sturbridge.
We arrive now at the final category, financial inferiority. One way to deal with this condition is to increase your income. You can, for example, become a fence. Or you can pose for a life class, if your college is well heated.
But a better way to handle financial inferiority is to accept it philosophically. Look on the bright side of poverty. True, others may have more money than you have, but look at all the things you have that they don't—debs, for instance, and hunger cramps.
And what about friendship? You don't need money to have friends, and let me tell you something, good people; the older you get the more you will realize that nothing is so precious as friendship, and the richest man in the world is the one with the most money. © 1963 Max Shulman
