Injury May Keep Gisel Out of Action Tonight
Head Coach Dick Harp thinks it is highly doubtful that Gisel will start or "see much service if it does respond because of the chance of reinjuring it which would make him unavailable for Fridays game" (against Texas in the first game of the NCAA regional Tournament at Manhattan).
Dick Gisel, senior forward and one of the mainstays in the late season push for the co-championship, sprained an ankle in the Nebraska game Monday night and probably won't start in tonight's playoff game.
Doubtful He'll Play
Dean Nesmith, team trainer, said: "In my opinion, the ankle won't respond to treatment in time for the K-State game. It is an unusual sprain; an internal one which takes longer to heal than the common sprain."
Gisel said that he had been undergoing treatment all yesterday and would continue to do so today. "The ankle is badly swollen and is pretty painful. I couldn't run on it at all in practice last night. This game means so much, I'd hate to miss it," he said.
Ready for Friday
Ready for Friday
He added the optimistic note that "it should be ready for the NCAA opener Friday.

will start in Gisel's place. He sustained a bruising injury in the Nebraska game himself but will be ready when the Jayhawkers take the floor tonight.
Trials in March for Olympic Basketball
KANSAS CITY — (UPI) The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced yesterday that the National Collegiate Basketball Champion and two college all-star teams will represent the NCAA in the Olympic trials March 31-April 2 at Denver.
NCAA executive director Walter Byers said makeup of the three teams will not be announced until after the NCAA college division championship at Evansville, Ind., March 9-11, and the university division finals March 18-19 in San Francisco.
The university division champion will qualify automatically as one of the NCAA's three entries in the eight-team tournament.
The all-star squads, representing both university and college division institutions of the 552-member association, will be selected by NCAA representatives on the U. S. Olympic basketball committee and a special selection committee.
Byers said 15 athletes will be selected for each of the NCAA all-star teams for training prior to the opening of the trials, with 12 men retained on each squad for the actual competition.
March ninth has been a big basketball day at KU for the past decade.
Last year at this time the Jayhawkers were preparing to wind up the season against Oklahoma State. A victory would move the Jays into third place.
In 1955 the Jayhawkers beat Oklahoma in the season final which was played on March 9.
Probably the blackest March 9 in KU history came in 1954. At that time KU was leading the Big 7 by one half a game and all that was needed was a victory over Missouri to put the Jays into the NCAA playoffs.
Eut Missouri up-set the nation's seventh ranked team and threw the Jayhawkers into a tie with Colorado. Instead of a playoff there was a drawing and Colorado went to the NCAA playoffs.
Ten years ago on this day Clyde Lovellette was picked by United Press on the All Big 7 team and by the Associated Press on the All-American team.
But all of these past March ninths will mean very little to KU students tonight at 7:35 as the big playoff starts at Manhattan. At stake is a berth in the NCAA playoffs.

The Fighting Irish Are Still Around
NEW YORK — (UPI) — What with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, if you're wondering what happened to the Fighting Irish a broth of a boy named Denny Moyer can tell you in one word. "Nothing."
Denny is well qualified to speak on the subject. He's Irish. He's a fighter who has lost only one of 25 bouts. And as a welterweight championship contender he is merely the junior member of the "Fighting Moyers."
The clan includes his two uncles, Tom and Larry, both formerly boxers of note; his father, Harry, who won five Pacific Northwest amateur titles, and his brother, Phil, currently a middleweight contender.
Denny takes the spotlight away from the rest of the family this Friday night when he goes against flashy Emile Griffith, the Virgin Island cha-cha expert, in the televised main event from Madison Square Garden. It's a pick-em affair but due to the proximity of the great green day the sentimentists award the 20-year-old Dennis the edge.
