KU Basketball Team Meets Last Victim
KU has lost four straight basketball games since beating Colorado in the opening round of the Big Eight pre-season tournament at Kansas City.
At Boulder tomorrow night, KU will meet that last victim. Tipoff time is 9 p.m.
FOR A COUPLE reasons, a KU victory over the Buffaloes isn't as likely this time.
$\textcircled{2}$ For one thing, Colorado defeated Kansas State, 60-35, at Manhattan Saturday. The Wildcats, champions of the pre-season on tourney, were conidered the conference title favorites.
two starters disabled for the game and another on the doubtful list.
The KU team is in a highly crippled condition with at least
Harry Gibson, senior forward,
missed KU's game at Oklahoma
State Monday with a back injury.
Coach Dick Harp said yesterday
he doubted if Gibbon would make
the trip to Boulder even if the
KU rebounding leader made an
exceptional recovery.
Dave Schichtle, a junior who recently had been starting at guard, will be out of action at least four weeks with a broken finger. Schichtle, who also missed the Jayhawks' loss to the Cowboys, injured the finger early in a game at Oklahoma Saturday.
AL CORRELL, senior guard, a
third starter who missed Monday's game, will make the road trip. But his status was indefinite yesterday.
"He has back and leg injuries, mostly back," Harp said. "I think he'll be able to play Saturday."
If Correll isn't able to start, Kerry Bolton will play opposite Wayne Loving in the backcourt. Walt Wesley, 6-11 sophomore, will start at center with Steve Renko and George Unsdel at the forwards.
Rinsey Lochmann, a sophomore who was starting at forward early in the season before he re-injured his knee, will be out indefinitely. He underwent an operation
during the vacation.
"I UNDERSTAND LOCKMANN will be able to run in a couple of weeks and will be able to workout when he can lift 80 pounds with his leg," Harp said. "We hope he'll be back about the same time Schichtle will be."
Harp feels the team's success while it is in such poor condition physically depends on Wesley, Bolton, Loving, Jim Gough, Del Lewis, David Brill and Fred Chama.
"The future of our team at the present moment is in these young men's hands," Harp said. "They'll have an opportunity to demonstrate in practice and in future games how determined they are to succeed."
Asked how he accounted for Colorado's sudden resurgence, Harp said he didn't really know
the answer, but added, "Perhaps this is an explanation of what mental attitude means."
KU BEAT Colorado, 70-64, in the 1962 tourney. In conference games, the Buffaloes won by scores of 73-57 and 62-52. Colorado tied K-State for last year's conference championship, finishing with an 11-3 season's record.
The Jayhawks' next home game is here Tuesday with Nebraska. Jayhawker and Cormhusker freshmen meet in a game scheduled to begin at 5:20 p.m., Tuesday.
Wrestlers Meet MU
KU's wrestling team meets Missouri at 7:30 p.m. today in the first wrestling meet ever to be held in Allen Field House.
EX-WYANDOTTE STARS — Wayne Loving (left) and Steve Renko, both sophomores, are two former Wyandotte High School players who are having to fill the gaps on the KU basketball
team left by injured and ailing veteran starters. Loving is a guard, Renko, football quarterback and baseball player also, is a forward.
