The Jayhawks are ready.
Although tomorrow's contest with Northwestern is only the first game of the season the team spirit shown during this week's practice sessions gives the observers the feeling that already they are in mid-season form.
A big feature of this week's practice has been the "muscleman" show put on by 6-foot 6-inch, 225-pound senior center, Bill Bridges. Although well known for his outstanding rebounding ability Bridges appears even tougher this season.
On one charge, which reminds the viewer of Curtis McClinton going through tackle. Bridges sent one teammate into the net which surrounds the court and another rolling on the floor. Bridges got the ball of course.
As soon as Bridges starts for the hoop either his teammates clear a path voluntarily or, using other legal means, he sends bodies flying.
All America forward Wayne Hightower also shows mid-season form. The highlight of his play has been his precision drives for lay-ups.
With the ball held high, arms waving, hips weaving, spindly legs scissoring and nimble feet dancing. Hightower maneuvers through the defense for the easy shot rather than taking a longer two-point attempt.
The other forward, junior Al Correll, also seems "ready to go." The accuracy of his floating jump shots is almost unbelievable.
Guards Jerry Gardner and Dee Ketchum have been showing their skill in directing the fast break with fine craftsmanship.
The agile Gardner seems to be having even greater success with his great variety of shots than he had last season. Spectators will be thoroughly entertained by the antics and maneuvers of this clever ball-handler.
The cat-quick Ketchum is moving as well as he was before a classroom slump sidelined him for the final half of last season.
Although not thought of as a great shooter, Ketchum has been hitting the hoop quite well in practice.
Oh yes, treading up and down courtside, making frequent comments are coaches Dick Harp and Ted Owens. They, too, appear ready.
Sports Network Plans Interviews
Five minute taped interviews with members of the Kansas basketball team will be a feature of the KU Sports Network basketball broadcasts this season.
Director Tom Hedrick also reports there are four stations which will carry all of the Kansas basketball games this season. Three, KANU, KUOK and KJAY are in the Lawrence area. The other is KWBB of Wichita.
There will also be several other Kansas stations which will carry at least ten of the Jayhawker games.
The network will have seven stations on the hook-up for the Northwestern tilt.
