Phillips Tops Vickers, 88-79 In Exhibition Charity Game
A crowd of approximately 6,500 in Allen Field House watched the Phillips Oilers down the Wichita Vickers, 88-79, in an exhibition game in which all receipts were donated to the heart fund.
The return to action of two former KU stars, Bill Hougland and Bob Kenney, was of special interest to Kansas fans. Hougland bucketed 10 points for the winning Oilers, while Kenney scored six for the Vickers. Both played well, and had many KU fans recalling the days in 1952 when they sparked the Jaya-hawkers to the NCAA championship.
Phillips Has Early Lead
Phillips completely outplayed the Vickers during the first half and pulled into a commanding 46-29 half-time lead. Vickers made a brilliant come-back in the second half and with 11:40 remaining tied the score at 57-57. A turning jump shot by 7-3 Wade Halbrook put the Wichita team back in the game and kept them in contention until the closing seconds.
Bob Kenney's two-pointer with 2:56 remaining brought the Vickers to within one point of the Oiliers at 78-77, but Phillips went on to add four buckets to gain their margin of victory.
Halbrook, although held to eight points in the first half, ran wild in the second half to lead all scorers with 27 points. Dan Swartz scored 17 and Lester Lane, former Oklahoma speedster, added 13 to lead the losers scoring.

Nebraska finished in sixth place in the Big Seven basketball race last year.

scored 15, Jim Ranglos, former Colorado star added 14, and Bill Houghland and Jim Walsh hit 10 each to lead the well-balanced Oilers.
ATO Hits 82 Swamps PiKA
With four men hitting in double figures, ATO completely snowed under PiKA 82-26 yesterday in a game played in Robinson Annex. The ATO's racked up the highest number of points scored by an intramural basketball team this season. Jim Trombold was the scoring ace for ATO with a total of 30 points, hitting 28 from the field and 2 from the charity stripe. Trombold was assisted in the scoring spree by Rich Billings, Stuart Luder and Marc Boxberger with 16, 16 and 13 points respectively. Dick Stroud had 6 points for the losers.
Sig Ep 57. Du 51
Terry McIntosh lead Sig Ep to a 57-51 triumph over DU yesterday with 17 points. Vick McCall and Bob Boyer scored 14 points apiece for the DU's but it wasn't enough to turn the dues in the nip and tuck affair.
Lam Chi 37. Phi Kans 28
In other fraternity A team action Lambda Chi trounced the Phi Kaps 37-28 in one of the few low scoring contests of the day. H.C. Palmer led the winners with 22 points, most which he made with a jump-turn shot from the center position. The Lambda Chi's were never pressed and had the situation well in hand all the way.
Pickers 39. Pearson 38
Pickers 39, Pearson 50
The Chicken Pickers defeated Pearson Hall 39-38 in a see-saw battle to highlight Independent A team action yesterday. Pearson went into the second half with a slim 23-20 lead but couldn't hold it as Dick Welty led a well balanced
CHICAGO — (UP) — Joey Giardello, declaring himself the uncrowned world middleweight champion, said today his television battle tonight with Randy Sandy was a "nothing" fight.
Morale Is High
Giardello Crowns Self
"What I do with Randy Sandy doesn't matter. If it goes 10 rounds or if I knock him out," he said. "I've proved myself already."

No Phase Tops Rebounding For Self-Satisfaction—Loneski
"The Missouri slaughter of Iowa State at Columbia showed us that any team can knock us off at any time if we start reading our press clippings."
Speech A Natural
another shot to go with my jump shot."
Ron tears up the well developed idea that college athletes carry no more than 12 hours a semester and loaf through most of them in the physical education department. He is a speech major and is carrying 17 hours this semester.
"Although I am known as a jump shooter, my favorite shot is really the hook." Ron said. "I learned the hook shot when I was a junior in high school. I had played center my first two years in high school but when a 6-6 boy transferred to school from California, he played the post and I figured I should get
The contrast between Ron's feather soft shooting touch and the slam bang shooting of Chamberlain is interesting. It was Ron's hook shot, which he calls, "the best shot I have put up in my career," that enabled Kansas to tie Iowa State 49-49 late in the game.

Loneski spends considerable time practicing his timing off the backboards and the extra work payed off to the tune of 12 rebounds, second highest total recovered in the rugged battle with Iowa State Saturday.
No movement in basketball is so graceful or so much a work of art as taking rebounds off the boards believes Ron Loneski, 6-4/2 sophomore Jayhawker forward.
Works On Timing
"Speech is a natural major for me; that is the one thing I do easily." Ron laughingly admitted. "Believe me, most of my courses really take the time. Spanish and Western Civilization really eat up my time, although I think Western Civ is probably the best course I have ever taken in college."
