Hungry Buffs To Graze On Kansas
FRANK GOMPERT, a 6-foot 4-inch sophomore forward, is expected to provide scoring punch to the Colorado Buffalo's attack when they play Kansas here Saturday night in a Big Seven basketball game.
In 13 games, Competit has scored 99 points for a 7.6 average to rank 19th among Big Seven scorers for all games played to date.
He is fast, has quick hands, is a good jumper and rebounder, and is one of the best one-hand shooters on the Colorado team.
A drove of short, lean, and victory hungry Colorado Buffaloes will invade Hoch auditorium Saturday night and attempt to defeat Kansas in a conference clash and fatten their none too impressive 2-11 season record.
Kansas will be out to win its 14th straight home game, a victory string that has carried through eight straight last year and five this season.
Colorado, playing under its new coach, H. B. "Bebe" Lee, who replaced Forrest "Frosty" Cox, hasn't been too impressive this year in winning only two out of 13 games.
The Buffs have had defensive troubles and especially against the teams that have used second-story performers against their midget club.
In its 11 setbacks, Colorado has dropped seven by six or less points.
In Colorado's three most decisive defeats, they met teams that operated above and out of its reach. Wyoming, with four players over 6-feet, defeated the Buffs 64 to 51 and 63 to 51 in home-and-home contests.
Oklahoma with its second-story men, Marcus Freiberger (6-11) and Doug Lymn (6-8), proved too much for the short Buffs who fell before the Sooners 61 to 44 in Colorado's opening conference game at Boulder on Monday.
How to stop Clify Lovellelette will be the Buffs' biggest problem, especially with Kenny Koop at 6-4 their tallest man. Last year Lovellette scored 29 points here and 30 at Boulder for a 59-point total in his two game against Colorado for a 29.5 average.
The Buffs have three men among the top 20 in conference scoring. Wayne Tucker, whose long two-handed shot in the last seconds beat the Jayhawkers a year ago at Boulder, leads the Colorado scoring with an 11-point average. Tucker is ninth among the Big Seven scorers.
among the Big Ten Guard Roger Stokes is 11th with a 10.2 average and Frank Gompert is 19th with 7.6 points a game.
KENNY KOOP, Colorado's 6-foot 4-inch sophomore center, will probably draw the defensive assignment of attempting to stop K.U.'s Scoring Monster, Clyde Lovellette, when the two teams meet Saturday.
Koop, the tallest man among the Buff starters, is Colorado's fourth highest scorer with 91 points in 13 games.
He is a rugged rebounder,has good speed,and has shown continual improvement through hard work.
