Jayhawkers Lose 67-75 To Buffs, Finish Fifth
Colorado's Buffaloes overcame a 44-37 Kansas halftime lead to defeat the Jayhawkers 75-67 and capture fourth place in the Big Seven standings Saturday night at Boulder. It was the last game of the season for both squads. The victory gave the Buffers a final Big Seven record of seven victories and five defeats as against six victories and six losses for Kansas.
Like the K-State game, KU started fast, hitting 49 per cent of its shots, but falling off to a weak 20 per cent in the last half. CU's Bob Helzer, who failed to score in the KU-CU game at Lawrence 10 days ago, led the late Buff surge with 15 of his 19 points coming in the final 20 minutes. His basket with 3:22 left in the game put Colorado in front to stay. 67-66.
After Ron Johnston temporarily tied the score with a free throw, Gene Eslun committed his fifth foul and Helzer connected on both free throws to give CU a 69-67 margin. In KU's attempt to break up the winners' stall, Buff guard Bill Peterson broke through for two lay-ups in the next two minutes. Helzer added two more free throws in the last 30 seconds to close out the scoring.
Jayhawker senior Bill Brainard was a surprise starter and scored 13 points, including seven of eight free throws. Gene Elstun and Maurice King scored 21 and
17 points respectively to pace Kansas' unsuccessful bid for a final fourth-place standing. Elstun continued his fine rebounding by grabbing 17 to lead in that department.
King, Elstun and Brainard all did most of their scoring in the red-hot first half. King got 12 of his points in that period, Elstun 14 and Brainard 10.

B's Win Intra-Squad Tilt 3-2 As A Team Is Held To1 Hit
The B team, or tentative second team for the coming baseball season, collected seven hits off pitchers Ron Wiley and Gary Russell and defeated the A team 3-2 in the first intra-squad baseball game of the season Friday afternoon.
Gary Fenity and Van Cooper held the A team to one hit over the six inning route, a scratch single by Russell in the fifth. Both runs scored by the A squad were unearned.
Second baseman Bob Moya of the B team was the game's leading hitter as he collected two singles in three times at bat. His first hit helped produce two of the B's runs in the third inning.
The only runs for the A team came in the fifth inning as a result of errors. With two outs, Russell singled and went to second on a passed ball. Jim Trombold struck out, but catcher Don Steinmeyer dropped the last strike and his throw to first was wild, allowing Russell to score and Trombold to go to second. After moving to third on another passed ball, Trombold scored on an error by first baseman Ullman.
Fenity led off the third inning with a single and Moya followed with his first hit of the contest. Pitcher Ron Wiley then walked Ed Ash, loading the bases. An out by shortstop Barry Robertson, who run to score and another run crossed when John Newlin grounded out.
The B's final run came in the sixth inning. Blowey led the inning off with a single, Mike Swanson struck out, Jim Stonestreet singled, Blowey stole third, and pinch hitter Bo Courville lined a sharp single to left field to score Blowey
Coach Floyd Temple said after the game that the team needs a lot more work, especially batting practice. He plans to have another intra-squad game early this week, probably Tuesday.

Tennis Enthusiasts Meet At 4 Today
Anyone interested in trying out for the KU tennis team, including freshmen, should meet at 4 p.m. today in the Jayhawk room of the Student Union.
By KENT THOMAS (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Another basketball season has passed on as far as the Kansas Jayhawkers are concerned, and a disappointing one it's been. In preseason forecasts, Kansas was ranked as high as 19th nationally and figured a sure bet to finish first or second in the Big Seven. It finished fifth for the second year in a row.
KU held its own with a 3-1 conference record until gloom set in and Dallas Dobbs, twice all-big Seven guard and candidate for all-American honors, was ruled ineligible because of poor grades. From then on, it was mostly misery as KU lost five of eight games to finish with a 6-6 record.
It's easy to say, but Kansas very well could have won the championship with Dobbs playing the whole year. He was having his best year offensively and defensively, and had developed into a fine leader as captain of the Javhawkers.
But rather than go back and reflect on how things could have been better, let's look ahead to a new season. It looks much brighter.
As it looks right now, and we grant that a number of things can happen between now and November, four of next season's starting lineup have virtually been settled. You can count on Wilt, King, Elstun, and Loneski. But to pick that fifth man, we pass.
With the exception of Bill Brainard and Jim Toft, all the varsity members will be back next year, as well as freshman standout, Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain and Ron Loneski, and other promising freshmen.
It could be anyone of seven or eight men, and maybe even more. Johnny Parker, Lew Johnson, Ron Johnston and Eddie Dater of this year's varsity all are strong possibilities, as is freshman Bob Billings. Don't count the others out either.
At any rate, KU should have at least 10 men above average caliber by the time practice starts again.
While the Jayhawkers were relatively short this year, next year's team should be second to few in the height department. With Wilt, Johnson, Elstun, King and Loneski starting, the average height would be 6 feet $5 \frac{1}{2}$ inches a man, giganuc in any league.
Maurice King's 17 points against Colorado Saturday gave him a season's total of 329 points, seventh highest in history for a KU player during a single season.

Oklahoma Wins Swimming Crown As Five Records Fall
Oklahoma and Iowa State staged a two-way battle for the Big Seven Conference swimming championship Friday and Saturday at Boulder with Oklahoma winning with a total of 130 points. Iowa State scored 102 points, Nebraska 32, Colorado 31 and Kansas 25. Missouri doesn't compete in swimming and Kansas State declined to enter the meet
Five conference records fell in the two-day meet, three of them broken by Oklahoma. OU's Lin Meiring swam the 100-yard backstroke in :59.2 in the preliminaries to break the old record of :59.7; Jeff Farrell outdueled Jim McKevitt of Iowa State in the 100-yard free style in :51.2, surpassing the old record of :52.0, and OU's 300-yard medley relay team beat the old record of 2:55 by a second.
Other records were set by Jerry Loar of Colorado in the 200-yard breaststroke with a clocking of 2:31.8 and Dale Lucas of Iowa State in the 200-yard individual medley in 2:21.2. The old breast-stroke record was 2:33.2 and the 200-yard individual medley was held for the first time.
Kansas' best performance was by Don Burton, who finished third in the 100-yard backstroke. Pete Thompson, also of KU, placed sixth in the same event, and competing coach, Chuck Edwards, took fifth in the 200-yard individual medley.
The Jayhawkers won three dual meets during the season and lost five. They defeated Kansas State twice and Nebraska once, and lost to Oklahoma, Iowa State, Nebraska Colorado and Grinnell, Iowa.
