Swimmers Look Past K-State to Big 8 Meet
The swimming team will try for its second victory over Kansas State here Saturday at 2 p.m. at the pool in Robinson Gym. Earlier in the year, the Jayhawkers won 45-41 from the Wildcats.
If things go as well as they did in last week's meet with Nebraska, the Jayhawkers could win handily. Coach Jay Markley said that Saturday's 58-27 victory over Nebraska was unexpected by both teams.
The Jayhawkers were more keyed-up and ready than they will be this week, Markley said. He added: "We will be working for a victory over K-State, but the team is looking ahead to the conference championship meet next week in Lincoln."
Coach Markley also said that the four free style events promise to be close races, especially the 440-yard free style between Mike Cassidy of KU and K-State's Coblentz.

Kansas now holds down a 10-12 season mark but is tied for second place in the conference with Colorado. Both teams are 7-4 in the league.
Kansas State has a five-game winning streak in games played in Allen Field House. This includes victories over California, Oklahoma State and St. Joseph's.
CINCINNATI — (UPI) — The University of Cincinnati unleashed a 45-point scoring surge in the second half and went on to defeat Duquesne, 88-69, last night. Oscar Robertson scored 36 points for the fourth-ranked Bearcats. Robertson was helped by Ralph Davis, who had 23.
Probable starters for Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawkers are Ron Loneski and Al Donaghue at forwards, Bill Bridges at center and Bob Hickman and Bob Billings at guards.
Coach Tex Winter will probably start Wally Frank and All America Bob Boozer at forwards, Ced Price at center and Don Matuszak and Steve Douglas at guards.

Eight Sooners Back From Injured List
NORMAN, Okla. — Eight Oklahoma football players who were on the injured list when the Sooners finished their 1958 season are ready to return to full duty when spring practice begins March 3.
Three are varsity reserves, fullback Wallace Johnson, tackle Bob Morford and center Bill Winblood. Two are sophomores, end Phil Lohmann and guard Leon Cross.
The other three are prosmising freshmen, Gene Burks, center Ben Fellows and en Glenn Cunningham

Winter is optimistic about the game.
"We have always played well at Kansas," he said. "Our team feels it is almost a home away from home."
Three Wildcats — Frank, Boozer and Price — are taller than any Jayhawker. Harp will count on Bridges' rebounding to offset the height disadvantage.
Bridges is the leading rebounder in the conference and is considered one of the outstanding sophomores in the Big Eight conference.
Kansas will be aided by the return to form of Ron Loneski who scored 30 points last Monday to lead the Jayhawkers to a victory over Missouri.
