Harp Foresees Rugged Battle in KU's Opener
The Jayhawks will face rugged competition when they begin a grueling 1960-61 basketball schedule Saturday night against the Northwestern Wildcats at Allen Field House.
"How we do against Northwestern will be indicative of what our play will be against our other non-conference opponents," he said. "If we can overcome our handicap of height with quickness and fight, we should be in good shape."
Head KU basketball coach Dick Harp feels the visiting Wildcats will furnish the type of opposition which will give the Hawkers a thorough test in their first performance.
Kansas, which is rated fourth in the nation, a ranking about which Harp is somewhat skeptical, meets Northwestern for the sixth time. KU has lost only once, and then back in 1951. Last season Kansas slipped past the Wildcat team, 76-67. Harp said the Wildcats didn't appear to be ready.
Although Northwestern got off to a shaky start last season, they went on to defeat Indiana, one of the nation's best, and finish third in the powerful Big Ten conference. Harp credited this record, despite a 11-12 season mark, to one of the finest coaching jobs in the country. He said Northwestern would be much better prepared for KU this time, although they will bring nine sophomores along on their 14 man squad.
When asked about the lofty Kansas ranking, Coach Harp leaned back in his chair and laughed. "I don't know about that ranking." he said. "It seems somewhat ridiculous. But, it is better to be ranked in the top ten at the beginning of the season than not be ranked at all."

"We had an excellent week of practice during the vacation. Because of this, and on general development so far, I think we are ready for Northwestern although I'm not quite convinced we are defensively as strong as we should be," said Harp.

Northwestern will have one advantage over the host Hawkers. It will open its season tomorrow night at home against usually weak Western Michigan. This will give the Wildcats the chance to shake the nervousness which accompanies an opening game. They will be ready for KU this time.

LUBBOCK, Tex. — (UPI) — The search for a new head football coach at Texas Tech was over today, and the school didn't leave the campus.
King to Head Red Raiders
Dr. R. C. Goodwin, president of Texas Tech, announced that J. T. King has been picked to tutor the Red Raiders, newest member of the Southwest Conference.
"I am grateful for the confidence that the officials of Texas Tech have placed in me," King said. "I will dedicate all my efforts to the betterment of the football program."
DeWitt Weaver, who held the dual post of athletic director and head football coach for the past 10 years, resigned last week to enter private business in Alabama. King has served as Weaver's assistant football coach for the past three seasons
Last week, Tech elevated Polk Robison to athletic director. He had been assistant director under Weaver and head basketball coach, and will continue to serve in a dual capacity.

Dear Dr. FROOD:
LUCKY STRIKE PRESENTS:
DR. FROOD'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: "Life ain't all beer and skittles," as the saying goes —but if enough students got together, maybe skittles could make a big comeback.
Dear Dr. Frood: I just don't understand the men in this college. Not one of them has ever asked me for a date. I am intelligent and easy to get along with. Enclosed is my snapshot. What do you think is wrong?
DEAR LEFT: After considering this problem from every angle, I can only conclude that you have enormous feet.
Left Out
DEAR MATH: You are obviously going to a below-average college.
Dear Dr. Frood: According to my figures over ninety-five per cent of the students here are below average. What is wrong?
Math Major

Dear Dr. Frood: I don't speak from personal experience, but I understand all the men in this college are wolves. What do you think a respectable girl like me—with a good old-fashioned upbringing—should do about this situation?
Strait Laced
DEAR STRAIT: Drop your handkerchief.
---
Dear Dr. Frood: When I entered college as a freshman this fall, my father gave me a very large sum of money to cover room, board, tuition, books and all other expenses for four full years of college. Because of an unfortunate series of poker games, however, the money is now completely gone. How would you suggest I handle this situation?
Ten High
DEAR TEN: I feel confident that your father will give you another chance if you go up to him like a man, tell him you are sorry, admit your mistake and promise him that your luck will change.
Dear Dr. Frood: Do you think it is safe for a girl to walk home alone from a college dance?
Nervous
DEAR NERVOUS: Safer.
DON'T BREAK TRADITION, WARNS FROOD! One of the proudest traditions on the American campus, reports Dr. Frood, is smoking Luckies. Today college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. According to Dr. Frood, "Any student who breaks this tradition not only robs himself of the full pleasure of smoking—but also could, conceivably, bring 'the Curse of Frood' down upon the entire student body."
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!
