Aggies Favored Over KU Tonight
Oklahoma A&M's talent-loaded Cowboys move into Hoch auditorium tonight and the young Kansas team, rated a 15-point underdog, will have to shoot the works if it is to give the Stillwater crew a down-to-the-wire battle.
Hank Iba's powerful Aggies are currently hitting at a 65-point per game clip but are maintaining their traditionally tough defense as they have given up an average of only 50 points to their opponents.

The Cowboys are well-stocked with players who can hit from far out and around the basket. Bob Mattick, Chicago junior and the A&M center, is leading in team scoring with 183 points. Forward Harold Rogers has 104, guard Don Haskins, 80, guard Ken Sheets, 72, and forward Gerald Stockton, one of the best long-distance shooters, 68.

Kansas prob- ably will start Al Kelley and Harper cent and were greatly out-rebounded by the hustling Sooners.
The sophomore-loaded Kansas squad opened with a 63-50 victory over Tulane at New Orleans then lost 51 to 54 to Rice at Houston. In their only home games, they batted SMU in a two-game series before participating in the Big Seven meet in Kansas City.
Kansas surprised conference fans by reaching the tournament finals after nipping Nebraska and Missouri in close contests. They lost the finals by only six points, 87-93, to Kansas State, ranked No. 1 in national polls.
At Norman Monday night, however, the Jayhawkers looked bad in dropping a 61-76 decision. The Jays had a shooting average of only 33

Regardless of the final outcome, Kansas fans should see a potent brother act in Dean and Al Kelley. Both boys have started the last four games together and helped lead the Jayhawkers into the Big Seven finals last week.

Patterson
By BOB STEWART
Kansan Sports Writer
In this day of cloud-scraping centers, the sight of a "shortie" such as Harold "Pat" Patterson holding down a pivot position comes as quite a shock to the regular basketball fan.
But Patterson, a muscular 6 foot 2 inch junior from Rozel, has become a No.1 replacement for starting center B. H. Born--although lacking eight inches of being Born's height.
In the short time since the end of football season, "Pat" has become a regular on Coach Phog Allen's battling five chiefly on his flaming competitive spirit. During football season he doubled as an offensive end and defensive halfback.
Lacking the size of usual centers today, Pat makes up for this by being the club's most consistent rebounder. A natural fighting spirit, bolstered by a pair of springs for legs, enables him to battle for every inch of loose leather in the tough milling under backboards and out on the floor.
Some observers compared Patterson to a sprig trying to find sunlight against a forest of redwoods during his creditable performance as Born's replacement in the Big Seven tournament. In three tourney games he boosted his early 7.9 scoring average to 8.2 with a harvest of 27 points.
Patterson's competitive spirit hasn't failed to catch the eye of Coach Allen.
"He makes mistakes," the veteran mentor says, "but he more than makes up for them. Errors don't bother him, and he will improve every game. His adjustment to basketball after playing football has been marvelous. The thing that makes him great is simply sheer battle and will to win."

Adds Depth to Position
Patterson was an all-American junior college center at Garden City last year. Although he will need improvement to be considered a polished performer here, his tireless hustling for rebounds and agile, versatile shooting easily will make him respected around the conference
Allen chiefly has him working from forward, a position he never
played at Rozel high school or at Garden City. Playing against taller opponents has forced him to work to perfect a more lofty hook shot when in at the post.
Patterson, now in his first year at KU, is expected to compete in his third major sport of the year when baseball season rolls around this spring.
