Oklahoma City Added to Slate
Oklahoma City University, the nation's highest scoring basketball team over the past five seasons, has been added to Kansas' 1970-71 schedule to complete the 26-game slate.
The Chiefs, featuring 7-foot sophomore Norman Russell, nieel Kansas in Allen Field House January 16, just two nights before the Jayhawks open their Big Eight schedule.
Big Eight Holds Lead
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) One of the least publicized dominations in sports, the Big Eight's recent stranglehold on the Big Ten, will be put to the test again Saturday.
Nebraska visits Minnesota in the last game of the football season scheduled between the two conferences.
The Big Eight currently has won 15 straight football games from Big Ten teams and holds a 26-6-2 record since 1961. Last time a Big Ten school won was Indiana's 18-15 victory over Kansas in 1967.
Since then, the once-powerful Big Ten has been shut out, including three losses this year. The Big Eight scored sweeps of 4-0 and 6-0 in 1968 and '69.
Baby Jays Open Today
The KU freshmen get their first taste of college football today when they entertain the Oklahoma freshmen at 2 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
The Baby Jays are expected to rely heavily on the passing arm of the highly touted David Jaynes. The quarterback from Bonner Springs was labeled as one of the country's premier quarterback prospects and KU freshman coach J. C. Hixon said his team would rely heavily on him.
Complimenting the passing of Jaynes will be the running of Vince Leber. The Council Bluffs, Iowa, running back has looked extremely good in pre-season scrimmages both in running and pass receiving.
Other pass receivers that will be the target of Jaynes' aerials will be speedy flanker Emmett Edwards, from Central High in Kansas City, Mo., and Denny Lantz, a flanker from Atlantic, Iowa.
The OU Boomers are expected to field another strong team this year. They have been undefeated in eight straight games over the last two years.
The game, which opens a big weekend of football for KU, is free to students showing their KU I. D. card. General admission prices are $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for children. Saturday KU hosts New Mexico before an expected Band Day crowd of 40,000.

The OCU game replaces a previously scheduled appearance of Notre Dame, which was released from the contract after an academic calendar change by the South Bend. Ind., school caused its basketball date with Kansas to fall during semester examinations for the Irish.
Wade Stinson, KU athletic director, said a long-term basketball series with Notre Dame is presently being scheduled and the Irish will play in Lawrence during the 1971-72 campaign.
Oklahoma City will be among 14 home opponents for coach Ted Owens' Jayhawks, who play nine
of their first 10 games in Lawrence and Kansas City.
