Jayhawkers' Basketball Victory Bubble Bursts
By Roy Miller (Sports Editor)
its winning streak stopped at four games by UCLA, KU will begin its annual basketball trek to the West this week with considerably less national prestige than it boasted just a few days ago.
Starting slugishly, the Jayhawks defeated Southern California, 60-52, in the first half of the Sunflower Doubleheader in Allen Field House Friday night.
Showing an even greater inability to score Saturday night at Manhattan, the Jayhawks lost to UCLA, 74-54.
And, considering the expected caliber of its three Western road trip opponents, KU could easily find itself entering the Big Eight preseason tournament with a 4-4 season's record.
IF STILL LISTED among the country's top 20 college teams this week, KU most likely will be lower than the 10th place rating it received last week.
The Jayhawks play New Mexico at Albiguquerque Thursday. The Lobos, coached by Bob King, have four starters back from a team that was 16-9 last year and fourth in the nation in defense.
KU plays San Francisco Saturday, meeting a team ranked as high as 14th in pre-season polls. The Dons will provide the fourth all-America player KU will have to meet this season in Oillie Johnson, a 6-8 junior.
THEN KU ENDS its road trip a week from today against Stanford, co-champion of the Big Six last year with UCLA. Tom Dose. 6-8
senior leads Stanford, a team rated as high as 11th before the season began.
On an individual basis, KU players had mixed success in their Sunflower Doubleheader action. George Unseld and Al Correll were the key figures in KU's victory over the Trojans here.
Bruins' Coach Praises K-State
"Our whole success is going to be geared this year to the effort Al and George showed tonight," Coach Dick Harp said following the USC game. "That's 100 per cent effort and taking yourself out when you're tired.

Many pre-season forecasters rated Kansas State as the team to beat in the Big Eight this year, but when the Wildcats dropped their opener to Minnesota, skepticism began to arise.
One man who is qualified to answer these questions is coach John Wooden, whose UCLA Bruins defeated both K-State and KU this weekend in the Sunflower doubleheader.
Are the Wildcats, whose record now stands at 4-2, as good as many people thought they would be? Do they have what it takes to beat KU and other conference contenders?
"I don't believe I ever saw George play harder on both ends of the floor. I don't believe there was a time when we looked out there when he wasn't doing what he was supposed to be doing.
emerged as KU's top performers. That over-all performance, it must be added, wasn't too good in the opinion of Coach Harp.
and his team was fortunate in many respects to win.
Saturday night, the Bruins defeated KU. 74-54, at Manhattan.
AFTER UCLA DEFEATED K-State, 78-75, in Allen Field House Friday night, Wooden said the Wildcats were a "real fine ball team,"
"I think we played a little better tonight," Wooden said after the game.
"I think (Willie) Murrell hit his first shot tonight, and then got no more." Wooden said. "Some people will probably say he just had a bad night, but I think our boy had a lot to do with it."
Wooden was referring to Keith Erickson who held Murrell to one basket and four free throws, and forced him to foul out of the game.
But, anyway, Renko scored 21 points and Wesley kept the Jayhawks close to UCLA in the first half with his effort.
Asked about Dave Nelson, who was the Wildcats' leading scorer with 19 points, Wooden said he is a "real fine player."
"And, too, Al should be praised for his consistent effort."
"I very definitely think KU has a chance to beat K-State." Wooden said when asked about the possibility.
Harry Gibson did a good job rebounding in both games, but the senior forward was having trouble scoring—to say the least.
"I HAD HEARD he was the unsung hero of the team, with most of the credit going to the big boy (Roger Suttner) and Murrell.
BUT, AGAINST THE Bruins,
Walt Wesley and Steve Renko
As for the guards, Harp continues to shuffle Del Lewis, Wayne Loving, Kerry Bolton and Dave Schichtle at that position.
"I like Nelson very,very much. He looks like he might be a consistent player."
KU Swimmers Win
KU's swimming team opened the season with victories over Colorado and the Air Force Academy last weekend.
The Jayhawks defeated the Buffaloes, 70-25, and the Falcons, 58-37 in dual meets at Boulder and Colorado Springs.
