KU Plays West Coast Basketball Powers
USC FORWARD—Al Young of the University of Southern California will be one of many West Coast basketball players in Allen Field House tonight in the Sunflower Doubleheader.
The City of Los Angeles takes on the state of Kansas in basketball this weekend.
Two Los Angeles teams, the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Southern California, meet KU and Kansas State in the annual Sunflower Doubleheader.
K-State plays UCLA at 7:35 p.m. and KU meets USC at 9:35 p.m. today in Allen Field House in the opening doubleheader.
THE FOUR TEAMS travel to Manhattan tomorrow where KU will meet UCLA at 7:35 p.m. and K-State will end the weekend action against USC at 9:30 pm. in Ahearn Fieldhouse.
Depending largely on the weather, a crowd of about 9,000 persons is expected for tonight's action here. The fans will have plenty reason to want to see the four teams in action.
- KU has opened with three straight victories. The Jayhawks, ranked 10th and 11th in the country by the two wire service polls, upset No.2 ranked Cincinnati last Saturday.
- ● K-State, 19th ranked, is 3-1, having lost its opener to Minnesota and then winning over South Dakota State, St. Louis and Indiana. The Wildcats provide a crowd attraction factor in improved Roger Suttner, their 7-footer who scored a career high 28 points against Indiana.
- UCLA, undefeated in two games, is 16th ranked by the Associated Press. The Bruins feature all-America guard Walt Hazard, the third all-America KU has had
- USC, 1-1, is another highly respected West Coast team. The Trojans, averaging 6 $ \frac{5}{2} $ , are led by forward Al Young.
to face in this young season.
KU enters the Sunflower doubleheader for the first time since the initial doubleheader in 1957 with an unbeaten record. Not since Wilt Chamberlain was a junior have the Jayhawkers opened a season so well.
The two West Coast powers figure to be only slightly less formidable than Arizona State and Cincinnati, the two teams that swept last year's doubleheader.
Swimming Coach Calls Team 'Best Ever'
THE BRUINS AND Trojans, who combined in a doubleheader last week in Los Angeles against Brigham Young and Butler, haven't played since that opening action.
"UCLA and USC pose two different, but equally difficult, tasks. While USC is a big, strong team with perhaps a more deliberate offense, UCLA will be a fast, quick team with an aggressive, balanced offense."
"Taken together, these two games will be as tough a test as playing Cincinnati at Cincinnati." Coach Dick Harp of KU said. "UCLA is probably going to present a real fine team. Well have
a whaleuva time beating USC.
THE LINEUP:
Coach Dick Reamon will use three automobiles to transport to Colorado 14 swimmers, the making of what Reamon calls "probably the best swimming team KU has ever had."
The Jayhawker swimmers open the season against Colorado today at Boulder and meet the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs tomorrow.
The KU coach expects Walt Wesley, 6-11 sophomore center, to be ready for the doubleheader. Wesley sprained an ankle in the Cincinnati game and didn't play in KU's victory over Texas Tech here Tuesday.
HARP PLANS to use the same starting lineup he has used all season—Riney Lochmann, Harry Gibson, George Unseld, Del Lewis and Al Correll.
"We're ahead of schedule in conditioning." Reamon said. "Most of our boys are on or better than last year's performances. This is the first time we've been able to field a full team. For the first time men will be swimming their best events, not having to be placed here and there trying to win points."
400-yard medley relay team: Bill Johnson, backstroke; Jim Basile, breaststroke; Mike Downey, butterfly, and Jack Allen freestyle; 200
"I look for real tough games this weekend," Coach John Wooden of ULCA said. "If we can keep these games close, win or lose, I'll be pleased."
