Kansas will be shooting for a Big Seven record of 8-2 and a strengthening of its narrow lead over second place Kansas State when the Jayhawkers meet Colorado's cellar-dwelling but dangerous Buffaloes in Hoch auditorium tonight. Tipoff time is 7:35 p.m.
KU has been idle in league competition since the Feb. 17 victory over the Wildcats at Manhattan. That loss gave the K-Staters a 4-3 conference record, but the Wildcats have rebounded to whip Colorado twice and Missouri once. Kansas State now has a Big Seven mark of 7-3.
The Jayhawkers should be out for revenge tonight since the Buff's handed KU one of its two losses in league play with a 72-68 upset win at Boulder Jan. 20. Kansas has won four Big Seven game in a row since then.
The Jayhawkers trounced Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska in Hoch then scored an 80-66 win at Manhattan. Oklahoma A&M rolled over the Jayhawkers in a non-league tilt at Stillwater last Monday night, 79-58.
Colorado has lost four Big Seven games since defeating Nebraska at Lincoln last month. K-State whipped the Buffs twice, and Missouri and Oklahoma each scored a victory.
However, Colorado can't be regarded as a pushover as the Bufs
faloes have given the Jayhawkers stiff battles in Hoch the past two years, CU dropped a close one two years ago, 54-48, and fought the Kansans down to the wire last year before falling 73-68.
The Buffaloaes have two dangerous scoring threats in forwards Art Bunte and Frank Gompert, Bunte, just a sopohomme, was the No. 2 Big Seven scorer before the CU-K-State contest Saturday night at Manhattan. The 6 foot 4 inch cager had a 23.3 average, seven-tenths of a point behind Dick Knostman of Kansas State.
Bunte's great outside shooting enabled him to pick up 15 points here last year. He scored 20 points at Boulder this season.
Gompert rang up 18 points in Hoch in 1952 and scored 15 in the Colorado victory two months ago. He is the Buff's best defensive cager, fast, and is a good outside shooter.
Three more sophomores round out the young Buffalo team. The guards are Bob Jeangerand and Charles Mock and the center is 6-8 Burdette Haldorson. Haldorson was the leading scorer for Colorado in the Kansas State game Saturday with 15 points.
Center B.H. Born has the highest
Coastal Players Control AP Team
East and west coast players dominated the Associated Press' all-American basketball team announced Sunday.
The balloting was topped by 6 foot 11 inch Walt Dukes of Seton Hall. Others named to the top five were 5-9 Johnny O'Brien from Seattle, 6-7 Bob Houbregs of Washington university, 6-6 Tom Gola of La Salle, and 6-4 Ernie Beck of Pennsylvania.
Dick Knostman of Kansas State was placed on the second team along with Don Schlundt of Indiana, Frank Selvy of Furman, Paul Ebert of Ohio State, and Bob Pettit of Louisiana State.
Big Seven scoring average for Kansas. The Medicine Lodge senior tossed in 27 markers in the Kansas State to boost his conference average to 20.7.
However, little Al Kelley has been matching Born's scoring records in the latest Jayhawker games. The jump-shooting McCune ace was the Kansas high point man in the Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska games last month in Hoch with 15 points—a point-off against Broderer. Diesen have been great defenders this season and have sparked the KU pressing defense, a very effective weapon throughout most of the 1952-53 campaign.
Harold Patterson took K. U. scoring honors at Stillwater last week with 18 points. He played one of his best games of the season the week before at Manhattan. He tossed in 15 points and led the Tayah w a k ers in re bounds, although standing only 6-2.
Kansas has won 19 straight in Hoch
including seven easy victories this season. The Jayhawkers have a season's record of 13-5 and were ranked in fifth place in the Associated and United press polls last week.
The Buffaloes will be looking for heir first win in Hoch since 1949. Kansas leads in the overall series, (4-9).

Kansas Leads Big Seven Pack At Show Down
The "show down" phase of the 1953 Big Seven conference basketball race has arrived and surprising Kan-sas, defending conference and NCAA champions, holds the upper hand over a Kansas State squad that was rated a strong choice to sweep the title distinction.
Bv UNITED PRESS
Boasting a 7-2 conference mark, Kansas will oppose Colorado in Lawrence tonight in its only outing of the week. Kansas State (7-3) has a meeting with Oklahoma in Norman Saturday night.
Coach Phog Allen's "fantastic" Jayhawkers need only to win twice in their remaining three games—against Colorado, Missouri, and Iowa State—to be assured of a share of the crown, provided Kansas State, an "in and out" this season, manages to triumph in its closing battles, against Oklahoma and Nebraska.
In all, five games are on this week's schedule. Nebraska is at Iowa State and Oklahoma at Missouri tonight. The Saturday program also calls for a meeting of Iowa State and Colorado at Boulder—a game that will wind up the campaign for Colorado.
There were no major developments to shuffle the team standings in conference play last week, although Kansas, the fifth ranking team in the nation, took the win by Oklahoma at 79 to 58, at Stillwater, in a non-conference affair. Kansas had beaten A&M at Lawrence earlier in the season. 65-53.
The major news during the week was provided by Kansas State, which snapped back from its 80-78 upset at the hands of Kansas by walloping Missouri, 75-68 and Colorado, 88-69; at Manhattan after having crushed Colorado at Boulder, 81-56.
The three-straight wins were further indication that Coach Jack Gardner's K-Staters still are bent on at least a share of the 1953 championship.

Several Athletic Revisions Made in Big Seven Meeting
Several conference athletic revisions were made by the Big Seven faculty representatives in their annual 3-day meeting in Kansas City last week.
Major steps taken were an increase in the span of time in which spring football and basketball practices may be held, a tightening of regulations governing the outside employment of athletic staff members, a tightening of academic and eligibility requirements for athletes, and a relaxing of the freshman transfer rule.
The conference stipulated that no full time athletic staff member may participate as a player, official, coach or promoter in professional sports or scout for professional teams.
The number of permissible football and basketball spring practice days were not increased, but the conference decided to lengthen the span of time in which they are held. Coaches will be allowed 20 football
practice sessions in 36 calendar days and spring basketball sessions may be held during a 30-day period.
The conference amended the freshman transfer rule to provide that after Sept. 1, 1953, participation on a freshman team won't count as a varsity year if the athlete transfers to the Big Seven.
The conference did not make any change in the selection of a NCAA basketball representative in the event of a tie. The regional representative will be decided by lot if there is a tie.
