'Beware. Bearcats'—Coaches
By United Press International Watch out for Wichita.
That's the new warning being sounded by basketball coaches throughout the Midlands.
Even Cincinnati Coach Ed Jucker, whose teams have dominated the Midlands since 1958, agreed that the reign of his potent Bearcats apparently ended when they lost their bid for a third consecutive NCAA championship last March to Loyola of Chicago.
"Wichita should lead the whole parade in the Midlands now," said Jucker.
WHETHER WICHTITA can rule the Midlands with the iron hand that Cincinnati wielded is yet to be determined. But coaches in both the Missouri Valley and the Big Eight Conferences, during a recent meeting here, agreed that Wichita is the team to beat.
In the Big Eight Conference, the conches indicated they are most concerned about the potential of Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
AS A RESULT. Stallworth was named the Missouri Valley's most valuable player—a notable accomplishment in a conference that also produced two all-Americas, Ron Bonham and Tom Thacker of Cincinnati. Stallworth was the league's scoring leader with a 23.6-point average.
But the eyes of the Midlands conches are on Wichita as a team and on 6-foot-7 Dave Stallworth as an individual. Stallworth is the lad who led Wichita to a 19-8 record last season, good for sixth place in the final 1963 national rating, and to two stunning upsets—over no lesser teams than Loyola of Chicago and Cincinnati.
The Big Eight coaches saw no particular favorite in their league, which they, too, feel will be stronger.
Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent - EURIPIDES
Prudence has a way of bringing good luck. Euripides knew it way back when; and it's true as ever today.
Are you being prudent about your financial future? It's never too early to start and it's wise to begin with a foundation of life insurance. Delay could be costly.

But Oklahoma State Coach Henk Iba sounded a warning of his own.
OKLAHOMA STATE returns its top four scorers, including all-conference guard Larry Hawk, from the team that posted a 16-9 record last season.
Kansas State and Colorado, which currently share the Big Eight championship, both have all-conference players returning. But Colorado, the nation's ninth-ranked team in 1963, lost Big Eight "player-of-the-year" Ken Charlton.
Tex Winter of Kansas State, Dick Harp of Kansas and Bob Vanatta of Missouri said their teams would be improved this year. The only teams that appeared to be out of the running were Iowa State, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Science Seniors
THE STRONGEST independent in the Midlands was expected to be Oklahoma City University, as usual. Coach Abe Lemons will have back the core of his 1962-63 edition, which finished the season with a 19-10 record.
