Twinbill Offers Players' Reunion
By Roy Miller (Sports Editor)
"It'll sort of be like a reunion with Wait."
That's how Al Correll, KU's senior basketball guard, views KU's game this weekend with UCLA and its all-America forward, Walt Hazard.
Hazard will be the third all-America selection KU has had to face this season when the Jayhawks meet the highly ranked Bruins at Manhattan Saturday night in the Sunflower Doubleheader.
CORRELL played against Hazard when the KU starter was at West Philadelphia High and Hazard was playing for Overbrook (Pa.) High.
"West Philly and Overbrook were areh rivals," Correll said. "We played twice each year and I think Overbrook beat us in four of my six games as a high school player."
Overbrook High has produced some fine basketball players and KU has had its share of Overbrook products. Take Wilt Chamberlain, for example. Other KU players recruited from the Pennsylvania school have been Wayne Hightower and Ralch Heward.
"He was a fancy player then," Corrrell said of Hazard's high school days. "He was supposed to be one of the best sophomores in Overbrook's history.
"I SAW HIM this summer and we joked back and forth about this week's game. I said I was going to stop him and he said he was going to take care of me."
Most likely, the chore of guarding Hazard will be given to Harry Gibson, senior forward. Gibson held Ron Bonham, Cincinnati's all-America, to 10 points last Saturday in KU's big upset over the Bearcats.
George Unseld and Walter Wesley were assigned to cover George Wilson. the Bearcats' all-America center.
Saturday's meeting with UCLA will also mark a reunion for several other KU players and the Bruins' senior center, Fred Slaughter.
SLAUGHTER, 6-5, 230 pounds, is a graduate of Topeka High and played against Steve Renko, Wayne Loving and Harry Gibson, former Wyandotte stars, and Kerry Bolton of Shawnee Mission North, in Sunflower League competition.
Riney Lochmann also played against Slaughter. Lochmann's experience against Slaughter came when both were prep all-Americas. Lochmann was a center for Wichita North and Slaughter, sidelined much of his senior year in high school with a shoulder separation, was the Troians' big man.
Topeka' and Wichita North met in an opening round game of the 1960 Class AA tournament at Wichita. Lochmann's team won on a layup in the last 10 seconds of the game.
Mike Shinn, KU's all-Big Eight end, was a teammate of Slaughter's in the tourney.
Slaughter never attracted much attention from area college coaches. For one thing, he was never highly advertised by his high school coach, Jack Dean. And, too, some coaches were afraid Slaughter was an injury risk.
Slaughter currently is president of his senior class. He's also a trackman and reportedly has possibilities of becoming a notable decathlon performer in the footsteps of Rafer Johnson, UCLA's Olympic gold medal winner in the decathlon.

KU bowlers in the Big 8 postal League have to keen winning.
One bad day could mean the difference between the first-place rating the team now enjoys and the second-place rating held by Nebraska.

BILL RYAN, Wichita freshman, continues to contribute outstanding performances to the team. He currently has the high individual game score of 257 and the highest individual series score of 689.
Iowa State is the only bowling team that has defeated the favorites.
The Jayhawks have a won-lost record of 15-1, followed by Nebraska at 14-2. Iowa State is third at 10-6.
THE OCCASION was merely a home-to-home match which are scheduled with area teams on an individual basis. There are no prescheduled matches or schools in this set-up.
