The soft touch
Sophomore forward Dave Robisch shoots one of his fall-away jump shots and puts two more points on the board.
Though few people could be seen on campus during Thanksgiving vacation, about 12,500 KU fans loyally paraded into Allen Field House Saturday to witness the Jayhawks' basketball season opener against St. Louis.
Cagers open with win
Everything except the KU starting lineup was familiar at tip off time. Unlike the football games, fans could get a closer look at the Pom Pon girls, and hear the yell leaders. Even the familiar boos-boos were shouted every time KU's Bruce Sloan scored (they actually shout Bruce—Bruce).
KU will play Wisconsin today in their first away game of the season, and will be back Saturday to play Loyola (Chicago). Wisconsin lost to Nebraska Saturday.
Only Olympic star Jo Jo White broke into the all-new starting lineup KU coach Ted Owens sent against the St. Louis Billikens. But all the players, except Chester Lawrence who is nursing a knee injury, saw plenty of action in the 88-65 win over St. Louis.
White led all scorers with 22
points, and entertained the crowd with turn-around layups and his familiar steals. Last year's freshman scoring leader, Dave Robisch, made his varsity debut with 18 points, and 6-10 sophomore center Roger Brown contributed another 16 points in KU's double figure performances.
Junior college transfer Tim Natsues showed why he probably will replace White after the 18th game, when White's eligibility ends. He displayed fine passing and ball control.
Pierre Russell, the other newcomer to the starting lineup against the Billikens, provided the fans with reason to cheer with his hustling and rebounding. Russell, 6-3, collected nine rebounds, second only to Brown's 10. Sloan also had nine rebounds.
KU is ranked fifth in the UPI pre-season basketball poll and was ranked sixth in Sports Illustrated college basketball preview issue. The Jayhawks were mentioned as one of the possible teams to challenge UCLA for the national championship.
McLain's bellyache scares Tigers
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)—For a while there, Denny McLain felt like Babe Ruth. He felt like he was going to die.

The operation for what was called a very hot appendix—Denny's due out of the hospital sometime near the end of this week.
If you're not old enough to remember, at least you've probably heard of Babe Ruth and his famous bellyache. The year was 1925. Too many hot dogs were given as the cause, and the Yankees nearly had a fit.
"Jeez, I got a helluva bellyache," McLain suddenly interrupted his conversation with Campbell.

McLain was visiting the Tigers' front office to talk with General Manager Jim Campbell about his contract.
So did the Detroit Tigers last Friday when Denny McLain, their celebrated 31 game winner, came up with an alarming bellyache of his own, and neither he nor they had any idea of how serious is was at first.
