Basketball Aim: Improvement
'Iron Man' Ellison Top Returnee; Coach Harp Looks to Sophomores
A handful of sophomores and an iron man named Nolen Ellison may give the Kansas Jayhawkers an improved basketball record this season.
We'll be improved this season." Coach Dick Harp said at the beginning of practices, "just how much improved depends a lot on our sonhomores."
The KU basketball roster includes seven lettermen and seven sophomores. Three more prospects, two of them returnees, are expected to report after the football season.
The pre-season tab for the top player on the team has to go to Nolen Ellison, a likely All Big Eight choice, and then some.
LAST YEAR, teamed up with Jerry Gardner, Ellison was part of one of the best guard tandems in the nation. Ellison compiled an 18.1 point per game average, second to top scorer Gardner.
More than anything else, Ellison played all but two minutes and some odd seconds in the Jayhawkers' 7-18 campaign, qualifying as "iron man" of the squad. It may be safely asserted that Ellison will be introduced as a starter when the Jayhawkers open their season Dec. 1 here with Montana.
Another fairly safe choice for the starting team is Jim Dumas. Last year, KU's leading rebounder, with 218 recoveries as a forward, Dumas is being given a trial at guard this year.
PROBABLE starting forwards are Harry Gibson and Love Sparks. Gibson, bothered much of the season with a leg injury last year, provided spark for the Jayhawkers with his shots from the side, Sparks, a good
The KU freshman basketball team, featuring five all-state prep choices on their probable starting lineup, meet the varsity at 7 tonight in the annual Jayhawker basketball preview.

The only sophomore expected to break into Harp's initial starting lineup is George Unseld, 6-7 center. Unseld led the freshman team last year, scoring 26 points in the frosh-varsity tilt and dropped in 35 more in a game at Kansas State.
