Jayhawkers Weakened By Myers' Knee Injury
HOT and COLD, AI Donaghue will be relied on for much of the scoring during the absence of Butch Myers.
Kansas basketball fortunes suffered a blow Monday night when hot-shooting forward Butch Myers injured his knee in a Jayhawker practice session.
Myers, a 6-1 jumping-jack forward, came off the bench in all three KU Big Eight Tournament contests to give the Kansas cause an offensive shot in the arm. During the tourney the Kansas City junior notched a total of 23 points, getting seven markers in the Oklahoma State contest, ten in the Oklahoma game and six against Iowa State.
Recently Coach Dick Harp had been working Al Donaghue, Jim Hoffman and Myers in the first team line-up as the Jayhawkers sharpened their attack for Nebraska. Now this will leave the load on Donaghue and Hoffman.
Dr. Kollbjorn Jenssen, a member of the Watkins Hospital medical staff, said that there is a possibility of a torn cartilage in the right knee.
Tests on Myers' knee have so far shown nothing definite.
Myers first injured the knee in the North Carolina State game. The injury was further aggravated in the Oklahoma contest.
No matter what the tests show, the nifty forward will not play in the Nebraska contest Saturday night when the Javhawkers open up their Big Eight play.
Coach Harp said:
"Butch's loss will certainly hurt. We've been using him more and more, and he's done a good job when he's been in. I hope it isn't too serious."

Wiesenhahn, will a 6-foot-4, 220 pounder, be out of action for one to three weeks. The hairline fracture occurred in a scrimmage Monday night when he came down with a rebound.
If you overvalue or undervalue another's intellect you will guess wrong. If you want to know when to call and when to bluff, identify yourself with your opponent's cunning.—Herbert O. Yardley.
