Crimson 34 47 -81 Crison 24 47 -81 Shooting, Teamwork Please Owens By BRETT MARSHALL Kansan Staff Writer Owens was pleased with the play of junior guard Tom Kivisto. Kivisto hit on 12 of 17 field goals for 24 points and played an excellent floor game. "I'm real gold Tom played well," Owens said. "Last year he had an off year, but he has worked real hard this season and is improving every day." Depth, shooting, teamwork and few fouls were some of the bright spots for University of Kansas basketball coach Ted Owens. Crimson team, 81-88, over the Blue team. The victorious Crimson squad was comprised of the Jayhawk starters and the Brewers. One worry for Owens is the rebounding of his brykaws. Dale Greenstein, 8-2 guard, has had two blocks. "Right now our only problem with depth is at the pivot," Owens said, "and this will be solved when Danny Knight becomes eligible later this month." Owens said this year's team had more balance and did not rely on one player to do the work. "When we have an open man, we hit him for the shot," Owens said. "We have confidence in every one of our players to shoot the ball." "I'm very disappointed with our rebounding," Owens said. "This will be our primary concern in the upcoming practices before the Vanderbilt game." The low number of fouls was a bright spot for the Jayhawks. Center Rick Suttle was the only player to get into serious trouble as he was whistled down four times. "We work very hard during practice on keeping our fouls to a minimum," Owens said. "In this way our opponent doesn't have the chance to beat us at the free-throw line." Dale Greenlee, Rockford, III., junior guard, said the game was good for the players because it provided the actual ball touching and be playing under when the season opens. "I think everyone benefitted from the game," Greenlee said. "One thing we need to work on is getting the ball to our big men inside. We aren't going to be hot every game like we were tonight; therefore our inside game must get better." Greenlee said the defense was good, especially in not giving the opponents the chance to score. "We're working on defense very hard," he said. "And many times this will win winsets for a team."
