KU's freshman team, featuring 7-0 Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, will play an intra-squad preliminary game at 5:30.
The Jayhawkers, expected to be near the top of the Big Seven conference race this year, will enter the game without the service of junior forward Gene Elstun. Elstun, the second ranking scorer and rebounder last year, was hospitalized (recently) with a virus attack. He may be in uniform tonight but probably won't see any service.
Elstun Won't Play
Only partially recovered from several attacks of influenza, the University of Kansas basketball team opens its 1955-56 season tonight when it plays host to Northwestern University in Allen Field House
Maurice King, speedy 6-2 junior letterman who was a regular during part of last year's season, is expected to take over for the ailing Elstun. Coach Phog Allen may open with King in the backline and the 6-5 Lee Green at forward.
A crowd of 7,500 is expected for the contest, which begins at 7:30 p.m.
Coach Phog Allen, often called the dean of American basketball coaches, will open his 30th season with tonight's game. Dr. Allen has a lifetime won-lost record of 757-224. No other coach in college history has won 700 games.
Kansas
Captain Dallas Dobbs, high scorer last year, just recently recovered from a flu attack and probably will not be up to par. Dobbs scored 317 points last year for a nearly 15 point average per game.
Short in size by present basketball standards, the Jayhawkers offense will be built around hustle, good ball handling, defense, and sustained scrap. The tallest man on the Kansas team is Lew Johnson, 6-7 center.
Reserve Power Strong
The bench power of the Jayhawkers will be strong this year and may spell the difference in the success of the Kansas team. Coach Allen has ten men of about equal caliber who are expected to battle for starting positions.
Northwestern will have a height advantage tonight. Their offense is built around Bill Schulz, 6-11 center. He will be alternated with 6-7 Phil Bromberg.
Northwestern will also present a match for the deadly Dobbs in Captain Dick Mast, 6-0 guard. He averaged 12.6 points in 22 games last year.
The Wildcats lost their season opener last Saturday to Western Michigan, 72-67.
The game will be the second between the two clubs. The Wildcats scored a 53-52 victory in 1951 at Evanston. Northwestern finished fifth with a 7-7 mark in the Big Ten conference last year, but is expected to be an improved team.
Special Section For K-Club
A special section will be reserved for K-Club members at all home basketball games this year. The lettermen will sit behind the opposing team's bench.
The U.S. Trotting Association announced that harness racing pursues for 1955 exceeded $20 million for the first time in history.
