Nine' Big Number In Hawker Victory
By Ben Marshall
"Nine" was the magic number for the University of Kansas Jayhawkers Saturday night, as they whipped the Montana State University Grizzlies. 68-56.
It was KU's ninth straight opening-game triumph, and at the same time, the win over Montana ended the Jayhawkers' nine-game losing streak in Allen Field House.
KU LOST THEIR last season's opener in 1953, to Tulane, 69-65, in New Orleans. Since then, the Hawkers have whipped Northwestern five times, and Louisiana State, Rice, and Arkansas once each.
The last game Kansas won here, oddly enough, was it's opener of the 1961 season, against Arkansas, 85-74.

In spite of the 12-point victory margin, Jayhawker co-captain Nolen Ellison summed up Saturday night's performance as "sloppy."
"We couldn't have looked much worse than we did, and still have won." he said.
BUT KU COACH Dick Harp was pleased with sophomore center George Unseld's 18-point, 10-rebound performance. Unseld played only 17 minutes of the game, however, being in foul trouble most of the time.
But Harp wasn't worried. "He'll be in foul trouble often because he is still a youngster, and pivot men are generally in trouble anyway," he said.
"And," Harp added, "if he makes fouls like he did tonight (Saturday), they can be corrected."

Montana, with 5-9 guard Ray Lucien leading the way, kept the opening minutes of the contest close for the Jayhawkers.
BUT SOON, UNSELD, who scored his first collegiate field goal with only 14 seconds gone in the game, hit two quick fielders, and junior forward Harry Gibson added another to give the Hawkers a 10-point spread midway through the first half.
With seven minutes remaining in the first half, KU led the Grizzlies only 23-16, but then the Jayhawkers warmed up from the field, scoring 12 points in the next three minutes, while the cold Grizzlies were held scoreless.
The Hawkers held a 36-22 margin at the halftime intermission.
Early in the second half, KU forged to its largest margin of the evening at 25 points. 57-32.
The Grizzlies made a valiant effort to get back in the game, with Lucien and center Steve Lowry, who both contributed 15 points to the MSU attack, leading the charge—but they couldn't close the gap to less than the final 12.
Champ Broke, Needs Fight
PHILADELPHIA — (UPI) — Heavyweight champion Charles (Sonny) Liston prepared today to deliver an ultimatum to Floyd Patterson and anyone else who wants to step into the ring against him.
The reason, actually the need, is money. Liston owns the most lucrative title in the world of sports and he's broke.
Which is why this week his advisor, Jack Nilon, will personally notify Patterson and their return bout promoters that if Floyd wants a rematch it will be held in Baltimore. And the deadline is March.
Otherwise, Liston is ready to break that contract and engage former champion Ingemar Johanson of Sweden at Philadelphia in June.
KU's varsity bowling team is in first place in the Kansas Conference of the National Intercollegiate Bowling Association, and is runner-up in the Big Eight postal league.
Bowlers Lead Kansas League Runners-up in Big 8 Action
In their first season in the N.J.B.A., the Jayhawker bowlers have won 18 of six team games and have an 898 average. Wichita and Kansas State are tied for second place with 12-12 records and Emporia State is in last place with a 6-18 mark.
Oklahoma leads in Big Eight postal action with an 8-0 record. Runner-up Kansas mark is 7-1.
THE SOONERS will be hard to beat. Rolling against Missouri (a postal means the bowling is done at each school and the scores mailed to a base school, KU this year), the Sooners fired a 1038-1019-1007-3064 team total, a 189 the lowest individual game and a 593 the lowest series posted.
Dave Rybolt, Ottawa junior, and Terrel Hays, Shawnee senior, are the top KU keglers.
Rybolt, currently sporting a 189 average in 42 games, holds the second highest individual series in the postal league. His 217-206-208—631 is second only to OU's Alan Schafer who rolled a 247-215-201—663 in the match against Missouri.
Hays, a co-captain of the KU team along with Rybolt, is the only senior on the team. Hays has a 188 average for 42 games.
Bob Bowersock, Shawnee Mission junior, 12-193; Leslie Mueller, Belleville, Ill., freshman, 21-189; Larry Love, Overland Park freshman, 42-185; Dennis Benner, Hiawatha junior, 42-184, and Robert Moore, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, 35-180
Other members of the team and their averages are:
"THEYVE PROVED to be the workhorses of the team." Bascom Fearing, varsity bowling coach, said of Hays and Rybolt. "It's just been kind of nip-and-tuck with them. It's a friendly competition, though."
Saturday the KU bowlers battle in the third round of the N.I.B.A. at Kansas State. In other action before vacation, the Hawks roll against Iowa State in postal competition Dec. 10 and travel to Nebraska for a face-to-face duel Dec. 15.
LYLE GRIFFITH, Lawrence freshman, is the No. 1 woman bowler. Recently Miss Griffith rolled a 597 series.

B. J. Hember, Fairway sophomore, is below par to date because of a leg injury. Last year, Miss Hember was the nation's top woman collegiate bowler.
Coach Fearing feels both Miss Griffith and Miss Hember will have good chances in the Student Union Association Region Eight Women's Tournament this February.
Top bowlers in the regional qualify for the nationals. Last year Miss Member qualified at Iowa State and went on to the national playoff in Phoenix, Ariz., to gain her all-events crown.
Four Southeastern Conference powers and the Big Ten's University of Wisconsin have been installed as the favorites in postseason bowl classics — the annual grand windup of the college football season.
