Each team had slim hopes for a Big Seven championship tie 10 days ago, but Saturday's winner will take only fourth place with a record of seven victories and five defeats. KU eliminated the Bucks last Friday in Allen Field House, and in turn was eliminated by Kansas State Tuesday, also in a home game. Kansas State won the undisputed league championship with nine victories and three losses.
Coaches Bow Out
Saturday's contest probably will be the last for rival Colorado and Kansas coaches, Bebe Lee and Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen. Lee recently was named K-State athletic director and the 70-year-old Dr. Allen is scheduled to retire in June because of the University's mandatory retirement age.
In trying to repeat last week's 54-44 victory over Colorado, KU will attempt to use the same effective zone defense which limited the Buffers to the lowest score made by any Big Seven team this season.
However at Boulder, a KU victory isn't expected to come as easy as it did here. The Buffaloes have lost only one league game in three years on their home court, that only two weeks ago to Iowa State, 62-79.
Oklahoma Extends Ruffs
Oklahoma Extends Buffs Colorado won its sixth conference game Monday at Boulder, over last-place Oklahoma 67-66. The Sooners outscored CU 27-19 in field goals, but could only connect on 12 of 22 free throws while Colorado hit a sizzling 29 of 36.
In KU's disappointing 68-79 loss to Kansas State, John Parker kept the Jayhawkers in the game with 21 points and a sparkling floor game. Parker had only a 1.4-point average before that game. Kansas' leading scorer, Maurice King,
scored 10 points to bring his season's total to 312 points.
Saturday's game will be the last for two Jayhawker seniors, Bill Brainard and Jim Toft. Both have been used sparingly this season, although Brainard started most of last season's games. CU's Jim Langos also will be playing his final game.
A KU victory would give it a 7-5 conference record and 15-8 for the season. Last year the Jayhawkers finished in sixth place with a 5-7 mark, and had an over-all record of 11-10.
Miler Santee, AAU Square Off Again
NEW YORK (UP)—Track star Wes Santee and the Amateur Athletic Union come up today for the second round of their court battle over his amateur standing, but indications were that the final decision still is far away.
The immediate outcome of today's hearing in the New York State Supreme Court could be to determine whether Santee will be allowed to run in Saturday's Milwaukee Journal track meet.
Santee, fastest American miler in history, was suspended from amateur track "for life" by the AAU on Feb. 19 on charges of accepting too much expense money.
