Harp Expects Kansas Squad to Be Versatile
This season KU basketball fans can expect to see a versatile team composed of players who can score equally well, Varsity Cage Coach Dick Harp said today.

Harp added that this team is more versatile than any he has previously coached, and predicted that team shooting percentages will be much improved.
Bridges is expected to be as effective as last year on the backboards, and should have improved his shooting eye somewhat. Coach Harp said. A hard worker, Bridges' only handicap is an injured knee which is not likely to get any better.
Hightower is both versatile and agile, and, at $6^{\prime}-91_{\prime \prime}$ will be the tallest forward in Jayhawk annals. He is expected to give rest on occasion to Bill Bridges, the probable starting center.
"Whereas Ronny (Loneski) did most of our shooting and a good deal of the scoring last year, we expect all five starters to play about an equal part in both departments this season," Harp said.
SPEAKING OF Loneski, the Kansas mentor expressed sorrow over the loss of the 6'-5" forward, but was quick to praise Wayne Highower, sophomore from Philadelphia, who is expected to cancel the Loneski loss.
GREATLY COUNTED ON at the forward position are Al Donaghue and Jim Hoffman.
Harp praised Donaghue as having as good a shooting eye as any in the conference, and also pointed out his added value as an outstanding rebounder.
Hoffman is capable of giving anyone on the squad a run for a starting berth, and is also a fine shooter and possibly is a little quicker than Donaghue. Sophs Bill Goetz and Larry Sterlin are expected to give added strength to the position.
WHILE HARP is satisfied with the personnel at all positions, he is especially pleased with the possibilities at guard.
The coach mentioned that Bob Hickman, Dee Ketchum, Soph Jerry
Gardner, and Kansas City, Kan. juco transfer Butch Myers comprise the best back-court corps at Kansas since he has taken the helm.
Ketchum and Gardner are possibly the best offensive tandem in the conference, and will add much speed to the team, while Hickman was singled out by Coach Harp as the Big Eight's best defensive guard.
"If he (Hickman) could average eight points per game, he would be the best all-around guard in the conference. However the guard situation works out, we will use the fast break more than we have in the past few years. We will be running." Coach Harp said.
COMMENTING ON the Big Eight as a whole, Harp called it "the best balanced conference we've had for a long time."
will be the favorite, but won't be as powerful without All America Bob Boozer."
"Every team except Kansas State should be improved. The Wildcats
"We can win the championship or we could finish fifth, as the difference between a winner and a loser this year will be slim.
"We will have a better team, but how much better depends upon how far we can come in rekindling the Kansas tradition of sustained effort and hard play. We hope we can come all the way," Coach Harp concluded.
