Head basketball coach, Dick Harp, said today that the only thing the Big Eight Basketball tournament proved was that the league race would be much closer than was expected.
Big 8 Tourney Foretells Tight Conference Race
"The tournament never proves anything as far as the eventual outcome of the conference race is concerned," he said. "This year's tourney merely showed there would be a close race for the title. We came out of the tournament in about the same shape in relation to the other conference teams as at the beginning of the season."
Nebraska showed to be stronger than the predicted eighth place finish at the start of the campaign and that Iowa State could easily be the surprise team of the year, he said.
Harp said that there would again be a scramble for the four top spots in the final Big Eight standings judging from the play in Kansas City.
Of the KU opener in the tournament, a 78-53 win over Nebraska, Harp commented that KU got off to a good start and didn't let the Cormuskers do what they wanted.
But Harp said, "Nebraska will be heard of in conference play."
Iowa State impressed the Kansas coach in the Jayhawkers 74-70 victory. The game was close throughout with KU able to maintain the lead to stay out of trouble.
Harp said the Cyclones will be considerably stronger when injured 6-11 senior Terry Roberts returns to the line-up. This addition plus sparkplugs Gary Wheeler and Henry Whitney should help the Cyclones forget the loss of Vinnie Brewer.
"We had every opportunity to win and they had every opportunity to lose. It was just a matter of who had the most." Harp said of the 68-66 overtime loss in the championship game against Kansas State.
In the other games which Kansas played during the vacation, Harp explained that the loss of Wayne Hightower on fouls was very costly in the loss to North Carolina and the excellent shooting of Brigham Young plus a poor KU defense which caused that defeat.
In the win over San Francisco Harp said the Hawkers played their best defensive game of the season. The outstanding player for the Jayhawkers both in the tourney and the preceding games was senior center Bill Bridges.
"Bridges has developed great confidence in his shooting ability which has resulted in greater point production." he said.
Harp called Bridges' performance in Kansas City "one of the best physical efforts put together on three consecutive days I have ever seen."
KC Baseball Fans Hope For Trading Magic From Lane
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Kansas City baseball fans are jugilibullet over obtaining Frank Lane and expect him to pull the Athletics but of the cellar with some of his legendary trading magic.
Lane was hired yesterday by Kansas City owner Charles Finley. He previously guided the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox, and Cleveland Indians to first-division finishes and A's fans are hopeful he will do the same for them.
Lane replaces Parke Carroll, who has been sharply criticized for trades involving the New York Yankees. Two of the deals which aroused the wrath of Kansas City fans sent slugger Bob Cerv to the Yankees for injury-plagued third baseman Andy Carey, and the American League's most valuable player, Roger Maris to New York in a multiple player deal.
Carroll, whose ouster was forecast by United Press International, called Lane, "one of the top executives in baseball. I would like to congratulate Mr. Finley on the choice of Lane. He did a great job of creating interest in Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland, and I am sure he will do the same thing for Kansas City."
Carroll praised both deals as being beneficial to the A's, yet Kansas City finished in the American League cellar and the Yankees won the pennant.
Carroll, who had served as Kansas City General Manager since the A's came here in 1955, said he has no immediate plans for the future.
Lane, 65, was given a four-year contract. He said he considers every player on the A's roster material for "judicious" trades. "The good players we'll keep in Kansas City, and they will not find their way to Yankee Stadium or any other stadium if they are any good," he said.
Lane's salary with the Athletics calls for a reported $100,000 per year. He drew $50,000 a year salary and a bonus of five cents per person after home attendance passed the 800,000 mark at Cleveland.
In coming to Kansas City, Lane
again joins forces with manager Joe Gordon, who was his skipper at Cleveland until the managerial swap last season with the Detroit Tigers. Lane said there were no hard feelings between himself and Gordon over the managerial trade, adding that he had told Gordon Detroit wanted him "and it was a voluntary decision on his (Gordon's) part."
"I think that Frank is the greatest general manager in baseball today," Finley said.
