Got Troubles? Then Read This
By John Macdonald
Forget who you are, forget you are reading the Daily Kansan and put yourself in my hands for a few minutes.
It's Friday night. You're at a basketball game in Ahearn Field-house on Kansas State University's campus. Stretch your imagination to the limit and pretend you're something not quite human — like a basketball, for instance.
All human eyes are on you and people all over the country are hearing of your actions via the medium of radio.
The man behind the mike is describing the play-by-play action of the KU-Texas basketball game. According to this fellow you're having a rough time.
Before the night is over you will have been smashed against a piece of glass more than an inch thick, gunned through the air at high speed and strong-armed about by ten gangling giants.
It's not that you mind being "picked off the stack" or "hung" on the edge of a metal hoop; at least everyone wants to have you for themselves. Your real beer comes when you are stolen by a "crafty ball burglar."
However, the time will come for you to laugh, too.
Do you see those fellows in the striped shirts who always spoil the fun by blowing those silly whistles? And those guys in the dress suits who order the players around the floor?
Before the evening's over they'll be standing nose to nose arguing about whether you went through the hoop or not. You'll be important, all right.
However, you do have a hard life and I don't envy you. But just for tonight, why don't you help show these Longhorns who's the best in the Midwest?
KU Meets Longhorns
By Jim Gardiner
Kansas' scrappy basketball squad will try to add another victory to its comeback record tonight when the Jayhawkers collide with the Texas University Longhorns in the opening game of the semi-final round of the NCAA midwestern regional tournament at Manhattan.
The Jays earned their berth in the tournament Wednesday night when they downed the Kansas State Wildcats 84-82 in a spine-tingling overtime session.
Hightower and Gardner have formed a potent scoring combination in the last four Jayhawker games and will be counted upon heavily in the Kansas offensive game.
Kansas will start the same five players who have been starting all the games in the sensational second semester comeback. Jerry Gardner and Bob Hickman will hold down the backline for the Hawks. The front line will have Wayne Hightower and Dick Gisel at forwards and Bill Bridges at the center position.
Bridges will not only serve as the team's rebounding ace, but must also lend a hand to the defense and produce enough points to keep Texas from double-teaming Hightower.
KU and Arizona Set Two Football Games
Kansas and Arizona will play football games in 1965 and 1966, renewing a gridiron rivalry that began back in 1936.
The two teams have played each other four times. Kansas has won two games in the series, lost one and the fourth contest was a tie
Arizona is a member of the Border Conference. The University is located at Tucson, Ariz.
The 1965 game will be played at Lawrence and the game in 1966 at Tucson.

Possibly the heaviest load will fall on alternates Al Correll and Butch Meyers who will be expected to enter the game at any time and either start a fire under the Hawks or squelch a Longhorn outburst.
The Texans were picked to pull out of the conference cellar this year but not to take the top spot. The Long-horns will probably start 6-8 Albert Almonza, 6-7 Jim Brown, 6-4 Brenton Hughes, 6-2 Jay Arnette and 6-0 Don Lasater.
The Longhorns, Southwest conference champions, will be expected to give the Jays a rough battle for the berth in the final round Saturday night. Texas owns an 18-6 mark for the season.
The Texas team has been described by assistant coach Jerry Waugh as being fast, eager and well-drilled with all the equipment necessary to beat Kansas.

The winner of the opening game tonight will meet the winner of the Cincinnati-DePaul game. Cincinnati with Oscar Robinson, is considered one of the best teams in the country—if not the best.
The winner of the Kansas-Texas game will be in for a rugged fight Saturday night if they play Cincinnati and if they play De Paul they will be facing a fired up giant-killer.
