Jayhawkers Open NCAA Play Tonight Against SMU
-(Daliy Kansan photo)
IT BETTER GO IN-Wilt Chamberlain eyes one of his shots on its downward flight to the basket. He will be the No.1 target of the tight SMU zone defense.
The Kansas Jayhawkers, an established basketball power, will attempt to put down the NCAA title hopes of a Southern Methodist team that is trying to make a name for itself in the highly competitive field tonight in Dallas.
The game, starting at 9:30 p.m. will be televised to local areas over channel 13. Topeka.
The Mustangs, long a basketball unknown, have risen to national prominence in the last three years as they have spread-eagled the Southwest Conference each of the years.
The chief reason for this rise to fame has been the play of Jim Krebs, 6-8 second team all-American center. Krebs migrated from Webster Grove, Mo., to the Methodist campus and brought big time basketball when he came.
The Jayhawkers have an import alsp in Wilt Chamberlain, who has forced sportwriters to rewrite the list of superlatives, while becoming one of the few sophomore all-American players in history.
Hailed as the greatest basketball player ever to set foot on the court before he had played in his first varsity game. Wilt has led the team to a 21-2 record.
Faces Tough Foe
However, he will have to be at his best to hobble Krebs, a clever faking, soft hook shoots operator who knows what to do against defensive specialists.
Last year in the national finals against unbeaten San Francisco, he outscored 6-10 defensive great Bill Russell and even out-rebounded him.
These two men are the hubs of their ball teams, yet the deciding basket in the contest could come from any number of talented performers on the teams.
Loneski In Slump
For the Jayhawkers, Co-captains Gene Elstun and John Parker, and 6-2 defensive star Maurice King all are ending their third season of play. All are dangerous shooters, and should the Mustang zone defense clamp too tightly on Wilt, could decide the game with outside firing.
The fifth starter, Ron Loneski, a 6-4/2 sophomore who learned his basketball in that hotbed basketball center, Indiana, has been in a slump lately but has proved he could be one of the all-time KU greats.
The Jayhawkers have run into a
standard type strategy to stop the antics of the down-shooting Chamberlain. Armed with a snug zone defense around Wilt and a deliberate style offense to permit Wilt to get the ball as seldom as possible, opposing teams have slowed the games to a walk.
But the Mustangs have one weapon they have used all year that Kansas has yet to encounter. That is a low fouling percentage. SMU leads the nation with a 12.3 foul a game average and only three men have fouled out the entire season.
This could be an important factor in the game as KU has delivered several opponents knockout blows while key defensive men were carrying five fouls on the bench.
Fire Engine Speed
The Mustangs also have fine overall team speed with 5-10 all-conference guard Bobby Mills leading the attack. Featuring the fast break, the Mustangs twice rang up over 100 points a game, and were over 90 three times.
The Mustangs have a third all-
conference player in 6-3 jumpshooting specialist Larry Showalter, who is carrying a 12-point scoring average.
The game is rated a tossup by most observers although the United Press gives the edge to the Mustangs, chiefly because of the home court advantage.
Table Tennis Meet Set For Wednesday
The table tennis tournament will be played from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Union Ballroom.
Players may enter at the information desk in the Student Union or by sending their names to Dick Dowell, 1540 Louisiana.
NEW YORK — (UP) — Featherweights Gil Cadili ad Ike Chestnut, who provided a disputed thriller in October, meet tonight in a return 10-rounder at Madison Square Garden.

So far, it has worked for them. With 6-8 Jim Krebs leading the way, SMU has a 21-3 record. The other five players are Capt. Bobby Mills, Larry Showalter, Rick Herrscher, Ned Duncan and Bob McGregor.
RON LONESKI
Could depth be a factor in tonight's game between Kansas and the SMU Mustangs. The Mustangs have played almost the entire year with six men doing most of playing.
GENE ELSTUN
The first four mentioned are hitting in the double figures, while Duncan carries an 8.5 average and McGregor a 5.0.
The Mustangs have been able to get by with only six men, mainly because only three players fouled out all season.
JOHN PARKER
Lack Of SMU Overall Depth Could Be Deciding Factor
It things proceed in the tournament the same way they have during the regular season, it appears as though SMU will not need any depth.
Johnson Earns Place
Lew Johnson is probably the No. 1 KU reserve and will see a great deal of action at forward no matter how the game goes. Johnson started the first 12 Jayhawker games, then gave way to sophomore Loneski, but in recent games has come back strong.
"Due to his fine play in recent games," Coach Harp said. "Johnson will see his share of action at Dallas."
On the other side of the picture, KU has been fortunate to have several capable reserves who have helped the Jayhawker cause during the season.
Behind the starting five of Wilt Chamberlain, Gene Elstun, Maurice King, Ron Loneski and John Parker the Kansans have several men who can fill in quite capably when needed.
Try To Make SMU Foul
TRY TO MAKE SMU FOUR Dick Harp, Kansas coach, said that one thing the Jayhawkers would stress is trying to make the Mustangs foul more. If KU should succeed at this, it could mean a difference in the final outcome of the game.
Bob Billings, capable Jayhawker sophomore, can also be counted on to see a good deal of action. Billings has been consistently sharp in setting up Chamberlain for easy buckets this year, even when the defense had three men on the Big Dinner.
Billings also hit five free throws in the tough Iowa State-KU game at Lawrence. The tosses all came late in the game and put the Jayhawkers out of reach.
Blaine Hollinger, Eddie Dater and Monte Johnson also give the Jayhawkers more reserve power when it is needed.
Kentucky Favored In Own Regional
LEXINGTON, Ky.—(UP)—Kentucky, playing on its own floor, ruled as favorite in the midwest regional bracket of NCAA basketball tournament opening here tonight.
First round pairings tonight send Kentucky, the Southeastern Conference champion, against Pittsburgh, an at-large representative, in the first game; and Notre Dame against Michigan State, co-champion of the Big Ten, in the second game.
Lloyd Green was the only KU student ever to capture the intercollegiate billiards championship. He won the pocket billiards playoffs in 1941.
