Jayhawkers fans will be treated to a double basketball bill when the varsity meets Oklahoma and Jerry Waugh's freshmen play their first game of the season against the Kansas City Junior College five Wednesday night.
The varsity will be struggling to pull themselves out of a fourthplace tie with the Oklahoma team.
The Sooners were the originators of KU's latest stream of woes as they stopped a three-game Big Eight winning streak for the Hawks. 45-38, in the final game of the semester.
While the Kansas freshmen do not boast a tall average height, the Junior College Bluedevils have a starting average height of only 5 foot $ 9_{1/2} $ inches. The KU freshmen offense will be based around the only tall man on the squad, Wayne Hightower who is 6-foot $ 7_{1/2} $ -inches. KU's average squad height is about 6-foot $ 3_{1/2} $ -inches.

The Huskers pulled to within on point, 33-34, after the intermission but big Bob Bowzer hit a field goal and a free throw and the Wildcat began to pull away.
Thirteen was the unlucky number for the Nebraska Cornhuskers last night. The Huskers took a 12-game home winning streak on to the floor against Kansas State and lost 50-43 before over 9,000 fans.
Kansas State hold 11 and 12 point leads until the Huskers began to open up late in the game. Boozer led all scorers with 22 points. He hit several key shots which gave
