KU Faces Last Place O-State
Oklahoma State comes to Allen Field House to meet the first place Kansas Jayhawkers at 7:35 tonight riding a three game Big Eight losing streak.
The Cowboys were 82-73 victims of the Missouri Tigers Saturday night. They come to Lawrence seeking their initial conference win. Kansas beat them 73-68 last Monday in Stillwater.
The first KU win was featured by outstanding shooting by both squads with each hitting over 50 per cent of its field goal attempts.

guard Fritz Greer who tallied 23 points. Greer had another outstanding night in the Missouri game which gave O-State a 6-7 season mark by scoring 27 points.
In last week's game the Cowboys tried to keep KU center Bill Bridges away from the basket, thus lessening his effectiveness as a scorer and rebounder. This may well be Coach Henry Iba's strategy tonight considering the 29 point production of Bridges in the KU romp over Iowa State.
Kansas enters the game with a 9-4 record and three wins without a loss in Big Eight play to place them one half game ahead of twice victorious Kansas State.
Cecil Eppertley, 6-4 forward, scored 13 points in the earlier meeting and 14 in the Missouri loss for O-State. He teams with Moe Iba, who had 18 last Monday, to provide an additional scoring punch for Oklahoma State.
The center for the last place Cowboys is 6-7 Ed Bunch who was held to nine by KU but tallied 13 against Missouri.
The other starter for O-State is likely to be 6-3 Dave Miller. He had five in the loss to Kansas.
KU Gymnasts Lose To Kansas State
The Kansas State Wildcats captured five first-place spots of seven events in defeating KU $ 69_{1 / 2} $ to $ 49_{1 / 2} $ in a gymnastics meet held here Friday.
The Jayhawks, in losing their third meet of the season, were led by player-coach Bob Lockwood, high man for the meet with 21 points, and Don Clifford. Lockwood won first place in the horizontal bar event while Clifford easily topped the tumming competition.
The Jayhawks scored most of their points on second, third and fourth places in the seven events.
The Wildcats won the first three events, the free exercise, trampoline and side horse, to take an early lead.
Bridges, Hightower's Antics Lead to Win Over Iowa State
By Bill Sheldon
Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis and Abbott and Costello were great comedy teams, but the duo of Bridges and Hightower may become equally as famous.
Bill Bridges and Wayne Hightower not only led all performers on the basketball court in KU's 90-59 trouncing of Iowa State Saturday but they put on a tandem comedy act which caused a lively crowd of 9,000 to roar with laughter throughout the one-sided Big Eight game.
Some of the moves the 6-8 junior made with the ball as he weaved through the hapless Cyclones' defense for his 14 field goals were absolutely fantastic.
When away from the hoop the slender Philadelphiaian executed feints with his head, hips and feet which left defenders befuddled and the fans laughing.
So effective was Hightower's defense that Henry Whitney, the Cyclones' top scorer in their previous games, was held to five points. He eventually fouled out late in the game.
Having what must be the best game of his career, the 6-6 senior scored 29 points, grabbed off 23 rebounds and squelched three Iowa State centers, allowing them only nine points before leaving the game.
Although Hightower scored 31 points to capture the game scoring honors, this fact was almost forgotten by the end of the rout. What was best remembered was the fantastic maneuvers and antics of the agile All America candidate.
The tremendous overall performance of center Bridges also kept the crowd buzzing.
Under the basket he was almost unstoppable. He seemingly wound himself around defenders for scores which appeared to be impossible.
Hightower was constant motion, blocking shots on defense, rebounding adroitly, scoring from many positions and putting on a one-man ballet for the screaming crowd.
There seemed no way for the losers to stop the furious charges of Bridges as he blasted goalward for rebounds and tip-ins.
But Bridges was also effective away from the basket as he hit on 11 of 20 field goal attempts.
Bridges was strikingly aggressive despite an injury to his right elbow. His spirit and hustle often seemed to lift the entire KU team to increase its ever growing margin.
The point production of Bridges and Hightower alone more than equalled the Cyclones' scoring. Together the Kansas duo scored 60 points.
The outstanding pair of Bridges and Hightower teamed together many times for crowd pleasing two-man plays ending in baskets. On one
occasion, midway in the second half, they looked like volleyball players as they tapped the ball over the basket a half dozen times before Bridges flipped it through the cords.
For Iowa State there was only one bright spot. This was the effective long-range shooting of 5-10 guard Gary Wheeler who tallied 20 points.
Hitting Rookie
There's no such thing as an ugly woman.—Robert Harper
PITTSBURGH — (UPI) — Lloyd Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates holds the major league record for hits made during a rookie season. Waner collected 223 for the Pirates in 1927.
