So Much for Football...
You're tempted to say a lot of things after KU's football loss to Missouri, but, perhaps, it's best for all concerned to limit the space on football and discuss the 1963-64 basketball season in greater detail.
First, congratulations are in order to Gale Sayers and Mike Shinn. Sayers, junior halfback, has been named to at least two
all-America first teams and has become the first player in conference history to rush more than 2,000 yards in two seasons.
THIS EVENING... By Roy Miller
Shinn, junior left end, was named, along with Savers, to the Associated Press' all-Big Eight first team. Lanky Shinn was a defensive standout this past season, using his arms as if they were grappling hooks against opponents.
NEXT, IN A I-told-you-so voice,
it's recalled for your convenience
that twice in this column appeared
the prediction that KU would win
only five of its ten games this
season.
Frankly, I expected Kansas State to beat KU. And, despite KU's overwhelming victory over K-State, that argument has some
basis. The Wildcats upset Iowa State. a team that defeated KU.
Finally, it's a long-range guess, but KU should finish higher than fourth place in the Big Eight next year. I'll give the Jayhawks second place behind Oklahoma.
The big manpower losses will be center Pete Quatrochi, full-backs Ken Coleman and Armand Eaughman, defensive back Phil Doughty and slot-back Tony Leiker.
SAYERS RETURNS. Renko should be improved. Willie Ray Smith, a halfback transfer from Iowa, shows promise and becomes eligible next year.
Now to basketball.
The Jayhawkers' season opens here Wednesday night against Arkansas. At stake will be KU's long record of winning opening games on its home court.
Dick Harp, in his eight year as head coach, has attempted to blend George Unseld and Walter Wesley into the same lineup in pre-season practices. So far, Harp is not ready to pronounce the innovation successful.
Unseld, 6-7 junior, was the leading scorer last year. Wesley, 6-11 sophomore, is available to replace Unseld at center.
BUT, WILL HARP be able to work the two big men—Unneeld and Wesley—into the same lineup successfully?

says. "We are convinced George can do it outside if he will just keep working at it."
Riney Lochmann, promising sophomore forward, has been bothered by a knee injury and this is of some concern to Harp.
"Rinney's knee will interfere with his play this year," Harp said. "We are just hopeful that by easing the practice load, he will be able to be fairly effective. This is an old injury that may have been aggravated just before practice started because of a fall or twist.
"WALKIN' THE
"BECAUSE OF OUR concern over Riney, we have spent more time in practice working George and Walter together. Our original thinking had been that we would start George in the pivot and relieve with Walter; then work George in at forward as relief on both sides.
"It may be that we will still follow this plan."
