Kansas opens its 1956 Big Seven basketball conference race Saturday night when it hosts the Oklahoma Sooners in Allen Field Timeoff time is 7:35 p.m.
Bacher Poses Threat
There will be no preliminary game, but two freshman squads will play an eight-minute scrimmage between halves.
One of five teams given a chance to win the 1956 conference championship, Kansas needs a victory over the Sooners. With the league race expected to be the closest since the league was formed, none of the title contenders can afford to lose even one home contest.
2 Winning Streaks Threatened
Oklahoma, although considered one of the weak sisters of the Big Seven conference, presents a serious threat to title hopefuls in center Leroy Bacher and guard Jimmy Peck. Bacher, the soft-shooting pivot of the Sooners, won the individual Big Seven tournament scoring title with 74 points.
The Taytahers place two winning streaks on the line against Oklahoma. Playing their fifth game in their new arena, KU will be protecting an unblemished four-game home court streak. It also owns a chain of six victories over the Sooners, who haven't beaten KU since the opening game of 1953. KU defeated Kansas State and Oklahoma in the field house last March and has beaten Northwestern and SMU this season in the home arena.
Because of OU's well-balanced scoring attack, Coach Chog Allen is expected to keep his Jayhawkers in a zone defense all the way.
KU also owns a well-balanced scoring attack. Captain Dallas Dobbs leads the Jayhawkers with a 14.8 average through nine games, forward Gene Elstun has a 12.8 average, and guard Maurice King a 12.5 average.
Coach Explains Low I-S Fouling
AMES, Iowa—Iowa State's Big Seven tournament champions rank as one of the lowest fouling teams in the nation and there's a reason, according to Coach Bill Stranigan.
"A lot of things enter into the picture when a team fouls as little as the 1955-56 Cyclones have been." Stranigan explained. "We've done a lot of work on defense this year, that's one factor. We do a lot of switching, that's another factor. We have fairly good speed, and that another factor. Add all those things together, cement it all up with pride
