By the time Friday night rolls around only one of the three—Kansas, Colorado and Kansas State—is expected to perch atop the lofty position for two reasons.

First is because of the fact that Kansas and K-State square off Wednesday night, and that leaves just two—the winner and Colorado. But the Buffs run into two tough opponents this week, and it would be quite a feat if Colorado could whip both of them.

Buffs Face Trouble
Tonight the Buffaloales clash with Sparky Stalcup's suddenly roaring Tigers, and even if Mizzou seems formidable to Colorado, the game is only a warm-up for Buffers contest Friday with Big Eight officials.
This is the first time in recent history, at least, that this type issue has occurred.
The latest case concerning eligibility came up last spring when Missouri's baseball squad forfeited ten games in which they used an ineligible player.
Colorado has been accused of using an ineligible player this season against Iowa State.
Jayhawkers Won't Be Complacent
In any event, Kansas isn't planning to let Big Eight officials defend the Jav Hawker lead.
The claim stems from the fact that the Buffalooes beat Iowa State, 70-55, with the help of 6-7 center Roger Voss. Voss's grades had not been turned in at the time of the game, and Colorado authorities claim that they did not know the pivot man was ineligible for second-semester competition.
"Regardless of how the official's decision rests, it isn't going to help us. We've got to win this game Wednesday night," Coach Harp said after the Kansas win Saturday.
The elated coach expressed his delight at how the Jayhawker players had performed, especially on the backboards.
"We knew we had to beat them on the boards to win. Out at Boulder they beat us in scoring but on the boards, too, 51-37. Tonight we out-bounded them, 49-45.
"Bill (Bridges) continued his surge. At halftime he looked pretty beat, but he came back to play a fine second half," Coach Harp said of Bridges who had just completed a bout with the flu the day before the game.
KU Out Rebounds CU
However, it was Bob Hickman, the Indiana senior, whom Coach Harp had the highest praise for.
"This was Hickman's finest game since he's been at Kansas," he commented of the defensive ace who also cashed in 12 points. Hickman's driving setups in the waning moments of the game gave KU the lead it needed.

In another upset Jayhawkier sophmore Ken Olson cleared 13-6 to edge Missouri's Bob Davis in the pole vault. Olson was shaken up early when he landed on the edge of the pit but returned to down Davis.
