'Hawks test unbeaten Notre Dame
KU, fresh from a 72-71 squeakier over Loyola in Chicago Saturday night, will be looking for its second straight road victory when the 'Hawks meet nationally ranked and unbeaten Notre Dame tonight in South Bend, Ind. Tip-off is 8 p.m.
The Jayhawks will be seeking their first victory over the Irish. Notre Dame holds a 3-0 series advantage.
The Fighting Irish, who have now rambled to five consecutive victories, ran by St. Louis, 65-53 Saturday night. Notre Dame has also beaten Northern Illinois, Valparaiso, Minnesota and nipped Michigan, a Big Ten powerhouse, 87-86.
Leading the Irish is Austin Carr, a 6-2 all-America guard candidate. Carr opened the season by gunning in 68 points in the
first two games. Saturday against St. Louis he tallied the first 11 points for the Irish and finished with 29.
Last season Carr broke his ankle but still managed to post a 22.1 scoring average in 16 games. During his fantastic career at Mackin High in Washington, D.C., many coaches and recruiters called him the best college prospect since Elgin Baylor. Now, the Irish ace has college coaches raving about his shooting range, moves and finesse.
Joining Carr in the backcourt is Mike O'Connell, who is averaging 10 points a game. Substitute guards Jackie Meehan and Tom Sinnott have seen considerable action in Notre Dame's opening games.
The strong front line of Sid Catlett, Collis Jones and John
Pleick have caused Irish foes plenty of trouble on the boards. Jones, 6-7, scoring at a 17-point per game pace, has ripped off an average of 15 rebounds. He canned 16 points and got 12 rebounds against St. Louis. Pleick, 6-8 center, is averaging 12 points and 12 caroops a game.
Catlett, a forward, has seen limited action because of an ankle injury. But the 6-8 junior came off the bench late in the second half of the Michigan game to take charge of the backboards against the Wolverines and scored 16 Saturday against the Billikins.
Alternating at the forward slot with Catlett is 6-4 junior Jim Hinga. He has averaged eight points and as many rebounds through Dame's first four games.
KU center Dave Robisch will enter the Notre Dame contest
boasting a 29.3 scoring average. The 6-9 pivot man has exceeded the 20 point mark in all four of KU's games and is averaging 14 rebounds a contest.
Starting at the KU forward positions will be Bud Stallworth (16 p.p.g.) and Pierre Russell, who is averaging 11.3 points and 8 rebounds a game. Aubrey Nash, who's heroes Saturday helped cool a Loyola rally, and Bob Ki visto, another sophomore, are expected to nail down starting positions against the Irish.
