Jayhakwer-Cyclone Rematch Poses Crucial Test for Both
By Steve Clark
SOPHOMORE STANDOUT—A valuable addition to the 1963 Kansas Jayhawkers is that of Kerry Bolton, Overland Park sophomore. Although not a high scorer, Bolton's forte has been his defensive work. He alternates with another sophomore, David Schichtle from Coffeyville at a starting guard position.
Is it fact or fiction? Can the Kansas Jayhawkers play the championship caliber basketball that enabled them to walk away from the Big Eight pre-season tournament with the winner's trophy?
Following a battering in their conference home opener Saturday against Colorado, Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawkers will try to start things right on the road against the Iowa State Cyclones at Ames Saturday night.
FOR THE SECOND consecutive game the Jayhawkers meet a revenge-minded club. KU defeated Colorado in the opening rounds of the pre-season tournament and $ ^{o} $
of the pre-season tournament and opened against them at home. In the second round it defeated Iowa State 69-51 to advance to the finals.
Iowa State lost their two opening conference games against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, both close games. The Cyclones lost 44-42 to Oklahoma State and 91-85 to Oklahome.
"We need to win at least two of our first four games to keep ourselves in a challenging position in the conference race," said Harp following practice yesterday. "If we get with it we can win at Iowa State and Missouri (on Monday). Colorado played well against us. From our viewpoint putting aside the fact we didn't play with the same effort and enthusiasm we had in the tournament we were badly hurt by our mental errors."
Sophomore George Unseld became the first Jayhawkter to top the 200 point scoring mark this season with 20 points against Colorado. He goes into the Iowa State game with 213 points and a 17.7 average.
THE CYCLONES' starting lineup will be Vince Brewer (6-3) and Gary Klevin (6-5) at forwards, Rich Frostad (6-8) at center, and Dave Groth (6-1) and Marv Straw (6-4) at guards.
The Jayhawkers will be hampered by two injuries, but both players are expected to be in the starting lineup, Dave Schichl, sophomore guard
from Coffeyville, has had a back injury since the Northwestern game and Jim Dumas injured a knee in the tournament.
"We think they are going to be able to play. They've shown great courage in practice. However, they are obviously handicapped at the present."
HARP SAID that Schichtle's injury may stay with him for the rest of the season. "It's the type he can play with, without future injury, but it is still painful."
Harp believes that KU's earlier win against Iowa State is not a factor in Saturday's game. "I think there is a psychological factor for their favor in recovering from a losing streak. Also we're faced with the question whether we're going to bounce back or not."
Lions To Take Tests
DETROIT—(UPI) Four Detroit Lions players have volunteered to take lie detector tests to prove that acquaintanceship with known gamblers did not affect their play.
William Clay Ford, Lions president, said that Darris McCord, John Gordy, Alex Karras and Wayne Walker all volunteered to take the tests.
Seven-Meet Schedule To Keep Dotson Busy
Bill Dotson will be so busy competing in track that he won't have time to think about his scholastic accomplishments.
Dotson, KU's ace distance runner the past three years in track and cross country, plans to graduate at the end of the current semester. He's majoring in physical education and biological sciences and, including a correspondence course, has a 19-hour scholastic load.
IN THE MEANTIME. Dotson will run in the Knights of Columbus Games at Boston Saturday. Kansas's first sub-four-minute miler plans to enter at least six other indoor meets before he joins the Marines in March.
Dotson's indoor schedule is as follows: Jan. 19, Los Angeles Invitational; Jan. 25, Maple Leaf Games, Toronto; Milrose Games, Feb. 1; Philadelphia Inquirer Invitational, Feb. 2; Mason-Dixon Games, Feb. 16, and AAU Nationals, New York, February 23.
Dotson may also run in some of Kansas' indoor meets here as an added attraction. The Jamestown senior said he may enter the Los Angeles Time Meet, Feb. 8.
IN ALL but the Inquirer and Mason-Dixon fetes. Dotson will enter the mile. In the former he'll run the 1,000 meters and the 880 in the latter.
Dotson begins a three-year hitch with the Marines March 11. He hopes to land a berth on the Marine track and field team, following the trail of another Kansas mile great, Wes Santee.
"I THINK he can run it in 4:03 or 4:04." Coach Bill Easton said. "He's much stronger than he was a year ago at this time.
How fast can Dotson run the mile in the indoor meets?
"He ran under the field house record in the half-mile the other night in practice. He's ready to run a great race."
Dotson won't say how fast he'll run, but he agrees with Easton that he needs work on sprints for additional improvement.
"Right now I think I need speed work more than anything else to lower my time," Dotson said. "Coach has helped me a lot. He's suggested the speed work. He's really been a big help just mentally through his encouragement."
Dotson's daily training schedule usually consists of three hours of running, one hour in the morning and two hours with the Jayhawker track team in the afternoon.
After 18 months of screening candidates, the Big Eight conference chose a successor for retiring Executive Director Reaves Peters yesterday.
New League's Head Is 34
He is Wayne Duke, assistant to Walter Byers, executive director of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
DUKE'S NEW JOB will entail all of the duties and responsibilities of the present position in addition to interpreting rules, investigating rules violations and periodic reviewing of each member school's operations.
A full-time assistant and other part-time assistants are expected to be added to the conference staff. This has been delayed until Peters' retirement so that the new director could appoint his own staff. Peters' only aid has been that of two secretaries.
At 34, Duke becomes the youngest major college conference executive officer in the nation.
