Harp Encouraged. Cyclones Are Next
Bv Marshall Caskey
With the approach of tomorrow night's game with Iowa State, basketball coach Dick Harp said that, with certain reservations, he is encouraged by the Jayhawk's two recent slump-breaking victories.
"I am somewhat encouraged," Coach Harp said, "but far from satisfied."
THE VARSITY game will begin at 7:35 p.m. in Allen Field House. The KU freshman team will play Fort Riley before the varsity game. Tip-off time for the freshman game is 5:20 p.m.
Coach Harp attributed the KU team's recent victories to good shooting percentages.
"Basically, the explanation lies in field goal and free throw percentages for those games," Harp said. Through the Colorado game, we shot 53 per cent. Our starters hit 53 per cent against Nebraska here Tuesday night.
HARP EXPRESSED some doubts about using the past two games as a standard for judging the Jayhawks. He said a number of team weaknesses can be covered up when the members of a team are shooting well and their opponents are shooting poorly.
After an 0-2 start in Big Eight competition, KU pulled into fourth place in the league by rolling over Colorado 73-55, and Nebraska 74-48, to even its league mark at 2-2. The Jayhawks now have a 7-8 overall season record.
The Iowa State team comes to Law-
rence with an 0-2 conference record
and a 4-8 record for the season.
THE CYCLONES have a four-game conference win streak over the Jayhawkers. The only time in the past two seasons the KU team has beaten the Iowans was when KU was on its way to the 1962 Big
Eight Tournament championship in Kansas City.
As it ends this semester's competition, KU, with a victory, can take a firmer hold on fourth place in the Big Eight by upping its record to 3-2.
Going into the Iowa State game, center-forward George Useld is rolling along with a 22.7 point-per-game in league play. This average is 5.6 points ahead of his 1963 average, which won him third in last year's Big Eight scoring race.
KU VETERAN forward Harry Gibson reinjured his back in the Nebraska game and is listed as a doubtful performer for tomorrow night's game.
Coach Harp is expected to send up the same starting lineup he has used the past two games—Steve Renko and George Unseid, forwards; Walt Wesley, center and Wayne Loving and Al Correll, guards.
Coach Bill Faston's indoor track quad will run a seven-meet schedule for 1934, opening February 1 in Allen Field House with a triangular meet against Pittsburg State and Wichita.
Track Squad Begins Season's Activities
Easton returns 12 lettermen from last year's team which finished third in indoor competition and went on to surprise the experts by winning the outdoor championship at Manhattan.
Straight's jump broke the old record of 6-4 7/8, set by Wilt Chamberlain in 1956. Despite his setting a freshman record, Straight finished in a tie for second place in the meet with veteran Tyce Smith. Both Straight and Smith finished behind another veteran, Charles Twiss, who upped his career high mark by an inch by clearing 6-7. Twiss' leap raised the meet record of 6-4 1/2 by almost three inches and came within a quarter-inch of breaking the Allen Field House record.
IN AN INTRA-SQUAD MEET last night, Steve Straight, Kansas City freshman, set a new KU freshman indoor high jump record of 6-6.
These performances were typical of the team members' performances as the varsity and freshman combined-strength squads set eight new meet marks
REGARDING THE upcoming
Wrestlers Take a Tumble Jewell Defeats KU 24-6
The KU wrestling team won only two matches against William Jewell College of Liberty, Mo., as they went down for their fourth straight defeat this season. 24-6.
William Jewell built up an overpowering 21-0 lead in the lower weight matches before KU could score.
John Worlund and Fred Elder both won decisions in their weight classes to give KU its six points. Elder remained the only undefeated KU wrestler.
123-Joe Brodshaw, WJ, def. Bill Brackett 3-2
The results are:
137-Jon Henry, WJ, def. Mike
Fellwell 3-2
147-Steve McComb, WJ, pinned Mike Morgan 4:20
157-Ken Springsteen, WJ, pinned Phil Norton .50
167-John Worlund, KU, def. Dennis Boyer 5-1
177-Jim Kerlberg, WJ, def. Phil Doughty 10-3
contest, Coach Easton said he believed the KU squand to have a definite advantage over the other two teams.
Hvy.-Fred Elder, KU, def. Terry Straete 9-0
"We have the advantage," Easton said, "because we have our own indoor facilities. The purpose of the meet is to prepare Pittsburg and Wichita for their own conference indoor meet."
When asked about his hopes for the Big-Eight Conference, Coach Easton said he hopes to win the championship in both indoor and outdoor competition.
"ACTUALLY, EASTON SAID,
"there are five teams who are capable of winning the Big Eight indoor competition. Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado, and
Kansas are definitely in the running for the championship.
"The Big Eight has improved tremendously over the past few years and the team which wins the championship will have to score in all events." Easton said.
The February 1 meet will begin with field events at 7:30 p.m. Running events will begin at 8 p.m.
Coach Easton said invitations have been sent out to the colleges, junior colleges and high schools which will be participating in the 39th annual Kansas Relays. The Relays will be April 17-18 in Memorial Stadium.
Easton said 200 colleges and junior colleges will be represented at the Relays.
