Kansas meets Creighton
By DICK DEAN
Kansas Sports Writer
Kansas enters the last Sunflower Basketball Doubleheader this weekend with the best record of the participants, but will face the stiffest competition to date when they clash with the Creighton Bluejays in Manhatten tonight.
The Sunflower Doubleheader will be replaced next year by the Jayhawk Classic which will feature KU and three different teams each year.
The other co-host, Kansas State will battle Syracuse in the second game tonight beginning at nine o'clock. The KU-Creighton tipoff will be at seven. Opponents and starting times switch tomorrow night when the teams come to Allen Field House.
"Creighton has a fine, fine ball club." said assistant coach Gale Catlett who scouted the Bluejays during their last minute loss to Illinois Saturday. "They will be physically the toughest team we've faced so far this season."
The Jays, who average 6-8 across the front line, are sparked by 6-5 All-American guard Bob Portman. Last year he was the fifth highest scoring major college player in the country and is averaging 27 points a game in
wins over Wichita State and St. Louis and their losing effort against Illinois.
"Portman deserves all the publicity he's been getting," said Catlett. "He shoots well, uses his height to follow shots and has good moves for a big man."
Besides Portman, Creighton coach John (Red) McManus starts 6-8 Wally Anderzunus and 6-7 Steve Jansa at forwards, 6-11 Joe Bergman at the center slot, and 5-11 David Hickey at the other guard.
The Bluejays employ a freelance, fast break type of offense that gets strong rebounding from their tall front three. "They are a powerful team," Catlett said. "They were behind by 14 against Illinois and caught up in a matter of minutes."
Creighton, who has excellent depth, is led by Portman, but appears to be more balanced than in previous years. Portman swished for 20 points and grabbed 20 rebounds in the Illinois game.
"Their especially strong in shooting (80 per cent from the free throw line Saturday night) and offensive rebounding," Cattlett said. "If they have a weak point it would have to be their defense. We hope to move the ball downcourt quickly against them."
Sunflower guest. They have dropped games to Cornell, Niagara, and Fordham. The Orangemen's attack is led by 6-11 center Bill Smith. He scored 41 points against Niagara, canning 13 of 17 shots from the field and hitting on 15 of 16 free throws. However, that was only second best as Niagra's Calvin Murphy shredded the nets for 68 points.
Steve Honeycutt leads the Cats with a 16 point per game output and is a fine defensive player. Gene Williams, last year's third best rebounder in the Big Eight, is averaging 13 a game and has grabbed 48 rebounds. Sophomore standout Terry Snider is improving every game and now has a 12.3 average, scoring 20 in the Indiana game.
Syracuse coach Roy Danforth will probably start Bob Kouwe (6-3), Bill Case (6-4), Gerald McFadden (6-4), John Suder (6-2) and Smith. Smith has averaged 31 points a game while McFadden and Case have hit for a 14 point a game average.
Kansas State is off to a somewhat slow start this year, losing their first two games before beating Indiana Monday night. The Wildcats, under new coach Cotten Fitzsimmons, dropped encounters to Cincinnati (70-86) and Tulsa (63-66 in overtime).
Winless Syracuse is the other
NEW YORK (UPI)—Red Schoendienst had his share of thrills as a player—the amazing comeback from a bout with tuberculosis and the 14th inning homer that gave the National League a 4-3 victory in the 1950 All-Star game.
Schoendienst's tenacity and ability carried over to the manager's side of baseball as he masturbated the St. Louis Cardinals to consecutive National League pennants in 1967-68. His second flag earned Schoendienst the National League Manager of the Year honors today by United Press International.
While the Mexico City Olympics and pro football cut into baseball's share of the sports headlines, Schoendienst valiently tried for back-to-back world championships. Detroit denied him the satisfaction gained when Schoedy beat Boston in the series the previous year.
Schoendienst is National League No.1 manager
But it was the effort leading up to the pennant that sports writers recognized as Schoe-dienst drew 13 of the 23 votes
