Riding the crest of an 11-game winning streak, Kansas risks its Big Seven Conference lead and No. 1 national ranking to entertain arch rival Kansas State here Saturday. Tipoff time for this sell-out game is 7:35 p.m.
The Jayhawkers will pit their newly found "team strength" against the 2-pronged scoring duo of 6-9 center Jack Parr and 6-7 forward Bob Boozer. Parr tops Wildcat scorers with a 23.1 average for seven games and Boozer, sensational sophomore who filled in at center for Parr when he was sick, has hit 206 points in 10 games for a 20.6 average.
Wilt Chamberlain leads Kansas with a 32 point a game average, but with the increasing emphasis on team play, Gene Elstun and Maurice King have boosted their averages to 12.5 and 12.4 respectively. Wilt has seen his average drop steadily since his opening 52 point blast against Northwestern, although he still leads the nation in scoring.
Cats Are Unlucky
The Wildcats have been riding a wave of bad luck so far this year. They reeled off four games without a loss and were ranked ninth in the nation before losing both games on a Big Ten road trip. Parr came down with the flu before the Big Seven tournament and without him the team could win only one of three tourney games.
With the coming of the sagging zone defense to stop Chamberlain, Kansas' offense has taken on a more balanced look with Elstun and King as the leaders. King hit for 38 points in the victories over Oklahoma and Missouri and Elstun plunked in 36.
Kansas, in running off 11 straight wins, has followed a pattern in each of the games. Breaking out of a close ballgame at halftime, the Jayhawkers have relied on the opposing big men to foul out trying to stop Chamberlain. Using this formula Kansas has applied a devastating second half clincher to every opponent thus far except Iowa State.
Upset In The Works
K-State must be regarded as the stiffest opponent for the Jayhawkers since the Cyclone game. With the
Wilt's Scoring, Rebounding Tops
Latest statistics show that Wilt Chamberlain is the first major college player to lead the nation in both scoring and rebounding at the same time.
Chamberlain maintained his scoring lead through last Saturday's games and also wrestled the rebounding lead from Charlie Tyra, Louisville's ace. The Big Dipper has a recovery rate of .264 per cent while Tyra has .254. Chamberlain has grabbed 313 rebounds of a possible 806 in 10 games. His 32.9 points per game also kept him on top in that category.
intense inter-state rivalry, the Wildcats could swing the upset of the young cage season. K-State will play without the services of Hayden Abbott, 6-3 junior forward, who has been sidelined with an infected toe.
Wildcat coach Tex Winter has not settled on a starting lineup yet as he has been freely shuffling players around in an attempt to find a combination to break the slump. In the 10 games thus far, 9 different Wildcats have drawn starting assignments. Kansas has gone with the same lineup in each of its games, four seniors and the sophomore Chamberlain.
Good news for the Jayhawkers is the return to action of Ron Loneski, $6-4\frac{1}{2}$ sophomore forward, from whom much is expected. He has missed a month of action and his absence has hurt the Kansas shooting and rebounding.
Kansas needs a win over the Wildcats to square their all-time Big Seven series at 12 wins apiece. Kansas is far out in front in all games by an 87-44 count but most of the wins were racked up in the old Big Six Conference.
