The Kansas Jayhawks will be trying for their seventh straight basketball victory over Kansas State in a Big Seven Conference game Saturday in Ahearn Field House at Manhattan. Tipoff time is 7:35 p.m. The game will be broadcast by the KU Sports Network.
Kansas State last defeated KU in the finals of the 1952 Big Seven preseason tournament 93-87. In the 49-year-old series between the schools, Kansas has won 86 games and lost 43.
While tradition favors the Jayhawkers, this year's statistics show the Wildcats to be favored to win Saturday. Kansas State is leading the conference with two victories and no losses. KU is in fourth place with one victory and one loss.
KU will be trying to make up for its poor showing in Monday's loss to Missouri. Coach Phog Allen said "This will be a big test for the boys and they know it." The Wildcats will have a height advantage and also the advantage of playing on their home court.
K-State Has Advantages
K-State will be out to avenge last season's double loss to the Jayhawkers. KU spoiled the Ahearn Field House dedication game by winning 78-68 and then later repeated that same margin with a 77-67 victory at the dedication of Allen Field House.
Have Won 5 Straight
Have Won 5 Straight After an inconsistent start in which the Wildcats have lost four, the Wildcats have settled down to win five straight games.
Both teams beat Oklahoma in league games by similar margins but K-State also defeated the Sooners in the pre-season tourney 86-64. Iowa State beat KU 67-56 but lost to Kansas State 64-68.
Leading the Cat play has been senior guard Pachin Vicens and sophomores Jack Parr, 6-foot 9-inch center and forward Hayden Abbott. Parr is averaging 16 points a game and Vicens and Abbott 12 apiece.
Both teams have season records of eight victories and four losses. Kansas State defeated Washington, College of Pacific, Texas Tech, Oklahoma twice, Nebraska, Iowa State and Loyola of California and lost to Houston, Iowa State, Drake and Indiana.
KU beat Northwestern, Wisconsin,
Wichita, SMU, Cornell, Missouri,
Oklahoma A&M and Oklahoma and
lost to SMU, Rice, Iowa State and
Missouri.
A's1956 Goal Is Sixth Again
HAREYY, Ill. (U.P.)-Lou Boudreau figures his Kansas City Athletics are the best "second division" club in the American League, but he has little hope of finishing higher than sixth again in 1956.
"Let's face it," Boudreau said. "This league has five first division clubs and three in the second division, but I don't see how we can pass any of last year's top five (New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, and Detroit).
"We'll be stronger if we can improve our pitching, by far our weakest spot last year. President Arnold Johnson has been working hard and we've purchased a lot of boys I think will help."
"I think we'll have a first division ball club in two or three years, but our goal will be sixth again in 1956."
Boudreau said the A's would have 21 to 22 pitchers in spring training.

Track Squad Bears Down
Coach Bill Easton will put his track squash through rugged time trials today and Saturday in an effort to get it ready for the opening indoor meet Feb. 4 with the University of Oklahoma in Allen Field House.
The runners will run today with field events scheduled for trials Saturday morning.
Lowell Janzen turned in a good unofficial half-time time earlier this week with a 1:56.9 clocking.
"Most of the field men and distance crew are coming around nicely," Easton said, "but our quarter-milers still are behind. They will face a tough OU crew, who placed second in the mile relay at the Sugar Bowl."
Easton said he was well pleased with the performance of several squad members, but that progress in some events was lagging.
The track in the field house is being groomed daily and should be in top condition for the Sooner meet, Easton said. The track is dragged and watered constantly and is considered one of the best in the country.
Zernial Is Sixth To Sign
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (U.P.)—The Kansas City Athletics had eight players under contract for 1956 today after the signing of slugging outfielder Gus Zernial.
