PROMISING GUARDS—Wayne Loving (left), and Dave Schichtle are part of one of basketball Coach Dick Harp's problems these days. Harp has so many promising guards, like sophomore Loving and junior Schichtle, he's undecided who should start opposite veteran senior Al Correll in the KU backcourt.
Jayhawkers Play at Cincinnati
KU's murderous non-conference basketball schedule begins tomorrow night.
The Jayhawks will meet Cincinnati on the Bearcats' home floor in a game scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast in this area by KANU-FM, KLWN-FM and WREN-AM.
The Bearcats finished second in the nation last year while the Jayhawks tied for last place in the Big Eight Conference. Thus, it's easy to see why Coach Dick Harp considers the game as "a good experience for the team."
"ITLL BE A great challenge and we're likely to get killed." Harp said of tomorrow's game after the KU victory over Arkansas. "I'm really looking forward to the game. Our scouting report says they have better material this year than on some of their championship teams, especially offensively."
Some coaches folks think Cincinnati's dominance has ended.
The consensus of Missouri Valley Conference coaches was that the Bearcats won't win the league title. They gave the nod to Wichita, a team that is given serious consideration as
the national contender this season.
But, the Bearcats, led by all-Americas George Wilson and Ron Bonham, looked like the all-powerful team again when they opened with a 101-65 victory over George Washington. Against Miami of Ohio Wednesday night. Cincy won 60-56.
COACH ED JUCKER believes his team won't be at its best until the second half of the season.
"We can score enough points to win." Jucker said. "The important thing is to develop a disciplined defense and that is going to require time this year. We can't lose men like (Tony) Yates, (Tom) Thacker and (Larry) Shingleton without experiencing defensive difficulties."
Jucker's team has won 82 games in 89 games since he became head coach in 1960. Three of the seven defeats came in Jucker's first three weeks.
In three full seasons as head coach, Jucker has accomplished more than many coaches achieve in a lifetime. Already he has directed UC teams to two consecutive NCAA championships and a second place, three NCAA Midwest Regional titles, three Missouri Valley Conference crowns and a Holiday Festival tour-
nev championship.
Besides the solid foundation given Cincinnati by its all-American Bonham and Wilson, the Jayhawks must also face a new piece of machinery tomorrow night. Dave Cosby, 6-3/2 is one of the team's new faces.
Cosby, the first Ciney sophomore in four years to start in an opening game, was a teammate of KU's George Unseld in high school.
"Cosby is best when the pressure's on." Unseld said. "In my senior year we won the regional. He kept us ahead with three or four free throws down the stretch."
Unseld and Cosby grew up together in the same neighborhood in Louisville, Ky. Cosby also played baseball at Seneca High with Unseld's brother, Wesley.
Saturday's game will mark KU's first appearance at Cincinnati since December. 1949. The Jayhawks, composed of sophomores who won the national championship as seniors in 1952, lost to the Bearcats. 56-54.
Rival centers Clyde Lovelette and Jim Holstein, both to move up to the pros when their college days were finished, paced their respective clubs with 15 and 19 points.
After a lapse of over 30 years, varsity wrestling returns to the KU campus next week.
Wrestling Competition Begins
Coached by Dewayne Hall, the team will hold its first match Thursday night at Allen Field House. The dual match will feature Central Missouri State College and the Wentworth Military Academy freshmen. Central Missouri will challenge KU at 7:30 and Wentworth will wrestle at 5:30.
Coach Hall is very enthusiastic about his team's chances. He is further encouraged by a substantial amount of new equipment which has been provided for the new team.
He explained that amateur standards will be observed in all matches. No submission holds (deadly holds) will be permitted. Thursday's matches will run nine
minutes each.
The first three minutes will be fought from a standing position, the second three with one opponent given the top advantage, and the final three minutes will allow the other man the top advantage.
Thursday's dual meet will feature matches in eight weight classes.
Because the team began late this year, the KU team was able to schedule matches with only two Big Eight schools. They are the University of Missouri and Kansas State University. Hall said the Jayhawkers will join the other Big Eight schools next year.
Other schools on this year's schedule include William Jewell College, Northwest Missouri State, and Fort Hays State.
