The Jayhawkers probably will have to try for their first victory in three outings here tonight against Tulsa without the services of their high point pivot man. B. H. Born, who suffered an ankle injury in a Monday practice session.
Kansas, which was set back in both of its previous pair of starts against Tulane and Louisiana State, meets a team tonight which already has played five games, and has won three of them.
The Golden Hurricane has whipped Arkansas, New Mexico A&M and Hardin-Simmons, and lost by two points each to Minnesota and Southern Methodist. KU, on the other hand, defending Big Seven champion and NCAA second place outfit last year, has lost its two encounters by a total of nine points.
Born, who may see little or no action tonight, is the team's most prolific scorer. He netted 55 in the first two games, 27 of them against Bob Pettitt of LSU, picked by most "experts" as better than Born. The Tiger star got 27 in that game also but shot six more times.
Slated to open in place of the Medicine Lodge all-American is sophomore Jim Toft, 6-6 Grand Island, Neb. resident, Toft, in brief appearances in the first two games, scored two of four free throw tries, hit no field goals, and fouled once.
Coach "Phog" Allen will string along with Al Kelley and Harold
Patterson at the forward postions and likely will start soph Dallas Dobbs and junior John Anderson at guards. Kelley has 24 points in two games; Patterson, 18; Dobbs, 19, and Anderson, four.
The Hurricanes will start a lineup of three seniors and two juniors, and averaging just a shade under 6-4. The KU starting five averages about 6-1$\frac{1}{4}$.
The big man for the Hurricanes is captain Dick Numneley, who last year averaged 13.1 points in 25 games. Center Dick Courter, a junior along with forward Bobby Patterson, stands one inch shorter than Toft. The other two starters, Ellis Jenkins and Bob Mescie are 6-3 and 6-4, respectively.

Big 7 Cage Teams Have Poor Records
Nebraska's 70-53 victory last night over South Dakota at Lincoln brought the cumulative Big Seven non-conference standings to a non-too robust eight victories and 10 losses.
Tonight KU meets Tulsa at Lawrence and Oklahoma will be host to Oklahoma A&M in the only Big Seven activities.
The NU-South Dakota game was the only one played yesterday by Big Seven teams.
Sanders Blasts TV Critics For Calling Bruins 'Hams'
Los Angeles—(U.P.)—Coach Henry (Red) Sanders, who is more interested in winning football games than developing ham actors, snapped back today at critics who said his UCLA Bruins were dull television performers.
Two Thrillers Pace IM Play
McCook and Jolliffe halls both had close calls before posting victories over AFROTC and Pearson in Independent "A" intramural basketball games played in Robinson annex yesterday.
McCook 39. AFROTC 33
McCook established a 6-pom,
20-14, lead at half time and then
protected it for the victory. The
game was close all the way, usually
with less than six points separating
the teams.
Jack Metz, AFROTC guard, was the leading scorer of the game with 13 points, accumulated on four field goals and five free throws. He received able scoring assistance from teammate Lenson, who scored 10.
Bell was high man for the winners with 11 points, and Patterson scored 10 on five field goals to take runnerup honors.
Jolliffe 28. Pearson 26
Jolliell 28, Pearson 20
Jolliell and Pearson battled on even terms for four quarters before Jolliell was able to eke out the narrow 2-point victory. The score was tied several times, and neither team was able to build up a substantial lead.
Layery took scoring honors for the game as he got 10 points in a losing cause for Pearson. Hulsinger, with two field goals and two free throws for six points, was second high scorer.
- Sanders and most of the student body didn't like it one bit when it was reported that the team put on a boring show despite winning 13-0 over Southern California in the nationally televised game, Nov. 21, which put the Bruins in the Rose Bowl against Michigan State.
"I don't know of anything more stylish than winning and I know of nothing more old-fashioned than losing," Sanders said. "What do they want—Milton Berle? Or a good, hard-hitting football team in action."
If it is football whoop-te-do that the fans are looking for they probably won't get it on New Years' day, either as far as the Ulmus are concerned. Sanders, well aware of the 3-formation offensive razzle-daze employed by Biggie Munn's Sparts, says that the Bruins will stick to their knitting, and keep playing the same brand of ball which gave them eight victories in nine starts through a rugged schedule.
Feuerbon was high scorer for the victors with nine points. He was followed closely by Scrag with eight points.
