COMING AT YOU—The 1959-60 Kansas basketball season is looming bigger and bigger on the horizon every day even during the middle of October. Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawkers have been working out over a week in preparation for their season's opener December 5 against Northwestern at Evanston. Caught passing the ball to a teammate in a recent practice session is Bob Hickman, a regular guard last season, who will be counted on heavily this winter. (Kansan Photo by Tony Reed)
Giants Call Conference To Announce Manager
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI) Don't hock the family jewels on it, but Bill Rigney probably will still be managing the San Francisco Giants next season.
The ball club, which faded badly in the clutch windup of the past season, has called a "very important" press conference for this afternoon and Rigney is expected to emerge with another contract in his hand.
Club president Horace Stoneham has tended to brush off recent speculation that either Leo Durocher or Charlie Dressen might replace him. But at the same time, the cherubic prexy has kept silent on Rigney's status.
Stoneham said earlier yesterday that the managerial decision might only be worth a phone call to various news outlets. But then the club announced plans for a full dress conference at a downtown hotel.
Giants' Fans Spend Much Cash in Frisco
SAN FRANCISCO — (UPI)—The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce estimates that visitors attracted to the area by the baseball Giants during their first season in San Francisco spent more than 75 million dollars here.
KOOL ANSWER.
Rigney became the target of some criticism last month after the Giants blew a 2-game lead they enjoyed on September 17 and wound up in third place for the second straight year.
Rigney was blamed in some quarter for improper handling of his pitching staff. Eut in others he was praised for keeping an erratic and injury-prone organization on top as long as he did.
Jayhawkers in Best Condition of Season
By Warren Haskin
The Jayhawkers may be in their best physical condition of the season Saturday when they invade Norman, Okla., trying for their fourth straight win.
Both KU and Oklahoma are sporting a 2-0 loop record going into the 57th contest between the two teams. Oklahoma is on the long end of a 32-19-5 record.
A new injury broke out Saturday in the Jayhawkers' practice when Doyle Schick reported with a badly swollen knee. Schick will miss practice today, but is expected to be ready to start in his 16th consecutive game Saturday.
The KU fullback has started every game since he was a sophomore and in two years has not missed a minute of action because of an injury.
The only player who is definitely out is veteran tackle Stan Kirshman. Kirshman has had back luck all season as far as injuries are concerned, but the coaching staff has hopes that he will be ready to go against Iowa State the following week.
Starting tackle Dick Davis, who missed the 33-14 triumph over rival Kansas State last week, was back in pads yesterday but is listed as a doubtful starter. Davis injured his ankle against Boston University.
Two lettermen who had been out all year with injuries, Bill Crank and Dave Harris, saw their first action of the 1959 campaign late in the game last week. Both should be ready to go full speed in the Oklahoma encounter.

Two sophomores were promoted by Coach Jack Mitchell earlier in the week as the Jayhawkers have been concentrating heavily on pass offense and defense. Duke Collins, a 195-pound sophomore, and Jim Jarrett, a 180-pound sophomore, moved up to the second unit at right tackle and at right half respectively.

While Kansas coach Jack Mitchell was showing signs of elation over the improved physical condition of his team, Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson was saying that his team "will have to improve a great deal" if it hopes to beat the Jayhawkers.
If the Jayhawkers hope to even dent the Sooners, it will take an outstanding performance by every man on the team. Halfbacks John Hadi and Curtis McClinton will have to play as they have in the first five games, if not better.
Hadi is tied for the conference scoring lead with 30 points, while McClinton is right behind the Lawrence flash with a total of 28 points.

The Sooners will be protecting a streak of 74 consecutive conference games without a defeat. Kansas was the last team in the league to knock off Oklahoma with a 16-13 victory on a rainy and muddy afternoon in 1946.
Oklahoma ranks third in total offense in the conference this year, but in four games, they have averaged 362.5 yards a game on the ground. Kansas has not been spectacular on defense this season, and it will take an improved KU defense to keep the Sooners from running wild.
VI 3-8763
KU scouts who have watched the Big Red this year, feel the Sooners are just as rough as ever. Assistant coach Tom Triplett tabbed Oklahoma "harder to defend against than ever."
Oklahoma quarterback Bobby Boyd is regarded as one of the best running backs in the nation. He is leading the conference in punt returns with a record of five carries for a 13.4 average.
John Hadl and Lee Flachsbarth are right behind the Sooner field general with averages of 10.4 and 9.6 yards a carry. Each has had five returns.
