University Daily Kansan SPORTS KU Heads Into Two-Night Stand
The Jayhawkers open a two-night stand on the West Coast tonight when they meet UCLA in the second game of a double-header in Pan-Pacific auditorium. Tomorrow night KU meets Southern California. Iowa State will play the same teams in the first games each night.
UCLA has lost two and won none this year, to St. Mary's, 59-62 in overtime and Santa Clara. 42-56.
Southern Cal won its first game, 70-54 over Los Angeles Loyola. The Trojans also keep their bi-man on the bench. Bill Engesser, 7-foot center, saw only limited action against Loyola.
The Bruins have four veterans in their starting line-up headed by forward Walt Torrence. Teaming with Torrence is Roland Underhill and guards Denny Miller and Denny Crum. Kent Miller, a promising 6-foot 6-inch sophomore is the pivot man.
Behind Miller is UCLA's big man, 6-foot 11-inch Warnell Jones.
Coach Billy Donovan starts a veteran team which managed to gain only one victory against 11 defeats in West Coast Athletic Conference competition last year.
Jim White (6-3) and John Nerhas (6-2) are the forwards and Jim Hanna (6-7) is the center. Guard duties are divided between Bill Bloom, Mike Leaskou and Jerry Pimm.
Ron Loneski will carry a 24.3 point average into the games for the Javahawkers, whose main problem has been to find someone to back up the aggressive forward.
The most help has come from
guards Bob Billings and Bob Hickman who have scored 47 points between them in the first three games.
The Javhawkers will start Lonesi and Gary Thompson at forwards. Monte Johnson at center and Billings and Hickman at guards.
Oklahoma teams dominated Big Fight basketball play last night with the rest of the league seeing action today and tomorrow.
Tomorrow night there is a full schedule of games with Iowa State at UCLA, Kansas at USC and Kansas State at San Francisco. In other Bie Fight action tomorrow night, Colorado will meet Air Force, Missouri wil be at Indiana and Nebraska will play Minnesota.
Oklahoma University came back from a 33-28 halftime deficit to defeat Minnesota 52-45. The Bavlor Bears stopped Hawk Iba's Oklahoma State Cowboys 43-47 in the only Big Eight games.
Tonight the Big Eight action swings to the west coast where Iowa State meets USC. Kansas battles UCLA and Kansas State blasts University of California.
Baylor employed a man-to-man defense in holding the defense-minded Cowboys to a low shooting average. Oklahoma State scored only two field goals in the second half on 21 attempts.
Oklahoma held Minnesota scoreless for almost 12 minutes in the second half in its victory.
Boozer, Big 'O' at Top
NEW YORK — (UPI) — With the college court season barely under way, Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati and Bob Boozer of Kansas State already have All-America honors locked up. But the race for the other three spots appears wide open.
The amazing item, looking back on collegiate basketball of just a decade ago, is the tremendous overall increase in height of the college kids. Rare is the team which doesn't have a growing boy of 6-feet, 6-inches. Some go right on up into the 7-foot stratosphere.
Robertson and Boozer are not midgets by a long shot. The "Wonderful O" from Cincinnati is 6-feet, 5-inches. Boozer, who was good enough last year to beat out Wilt Chamberlain as the Big Eight's Player of the Year, is 6-feet, 8-inchs tall.
The three players who are likely choices to round out the All-America five this year are Bailey Howell of Mississippi State, Johnny Cox of Kentucky and a midget who stands
a mere 5-feet, 11-inches—Don Hennon of Pitt.
Robertson is everybody's shoo-in. The big cat from Indianapolis set a Madison Square Garden record last season with 55 points.
Boozer, too, looks a cinch to get everybody's vote when it comes around to voting time. That is, if he plays anything like he has the past two years in rewriting Kansas State scoring records. He proved his all-around worth by handcuffing Chamberlain while pouring in 32 points himself.
Students will either have to remain up late or get up early if they plan to listen to the double-header between KU and West Coast teams Friday and Saturday night.
Game Broadcast at 11:30
KU will be playing UCLA Friday night and then move to Southern California Saturday night. Both games will start at 11:30 p.m. The KU sports network will broadcast the games.

Collier Denies Packer Rumor
GREEN BAY, Wis. — (UPI) — Blanton Collier of the University of Kentucky has denied reports he will succeed Ray (Scooter) McLean as head coach of the Green Bay Packers.
It was reported that Earl (Curly) Lambeau, the Packers' founder who led the team to six world championships, would be general manager of the team. The same reports had Collier joining Lambeau's staff as head coach of the Packers.

Snow Foils East Play
By United Press International Eastern teams were literally "snowed" last night when a heavy blanket of the white stuff fell and forced game cancellations, delays and other more minor inconveniences.
Duke's Blue Devils, who were hooping to give West Virginia its first defeat, were unable to get off the ground. Snows in North Carolina grounded all airplanes.
Florida State, scheduled to play at Wake Forest, had the most trouble. The game was delayed an hour by a snow-caused power failure. When the lights came on, Florida State players found they had left their jerseys on the plane. Wake Forest loaned them shirts and then went on to beat them 73-64.
