Wichita Upsets St. Louis, 69-64
By UNITED PRESS
The Missouri Valley Conference, long noted as one of the nation's toughest basketball loops, lived up to its reputation again today when title favorite, St. Louis bit the dust in its first league appearance.
Wichita jumped ahead of St. Louis, 36-32, at halftime in their game at Wichita, breaking a 32-32 tie, and never again trailed. The Shockers hit 4.60 percent of their shots in scoring the upset and were led by guard Joe Stevens with 21 points. Harold Alcorn paced St. Louis with 18 as the in-and-out Bills suffered their fifth loss against seven wins.
St. Louis went into Wednesday night's game against Wichita with the No. 15 national ranking and a record that included victories over such powers as Kentucky and Louisville. But the Billikens came out on the short end of a 69-64 score, a poor omen for their title hopes.
Charley Tyra, Louisville's 6-8 all-America candidate, racked up 20 points and grabbed 2 rebounds in another fine showing in the Cardinals' home victory, but had to yield game scoring honors to teammate Bill Darragh, who had 26.
Louisville, which has been steadily on the upgrade since its loss to St. Louis and now is ranked fifth nationally, registered its 9th win in 11 starts last night, 93-71, over Memphis State.
Loneski 'Available' For K-State Game
Broyles To Keep Split-T At MU
"I asked Frank if he wanted to continue Missouri's tough schedule and he said 'yes,'" Faurot said. "Of course, he's got no choice for awhile, since we're set for four years."
Ron Loneski, KU's 6-4$ _{1/2}$ sophomore forward, out for a month with a fractured foot, will be available for action in the Kansas State game Saturday night, according to Jerry Waugh, assistant basketball coach.
ST. LOUIS—(UP)—The names are changed but the system will be much the same at the University of Missouri this fall, where young Frank Broyles of Georgia Tech will succeed Don Faurot as head coach.
Ron has been working out an week and although there is some stiffness, the injured foot seems to be all right, Waugh said. However, he will have to win a position on the team again. Right now he is not in shape to play much ball, but will probably see action against the Wildcats." Waugh added.
Broyles was signed to a three-year contract Wednesday. His salary was not announced. He has been coach Bobby Dodd's backfield coach for the Engineers.
Broyles, 23, coached three years at Baylor, a year at Florida and six years at Georgia Tech.

A Team, But No Games-
After drilling his freshman basketball squad for two months and seeing them in action against the varsity, Coach Jerry Waugh has finally been able to select a "starting" five. However, the freshmen will play no games with other schools, as a Big Seven rule prohibits such activity.
Freshman Cagers Show Promise
The freshman first team has Jim Hoffman (6-4) Kansas City, Mo., at center; Phil Raisor (6-0) Muncie, Ind., and Bob Hickman (6-2) Terre Haute, Ind., at guards; Alan Donaghue (6-4) Kansas City, Kan., and Bill Freisinger (6-3) La Grange, Ill., at forwards.
This unit has been working out against the varsity regularly, Varsity Coach Dick Harp and Waugh have used the freshman five against the varsity to give both teams a change of opposition and also to work out special patterns or defenses for opposing teams.
No tickets of any kind remain for the basketball game here between Kansas and Oklahoma A&M at Stillwater Feb. 21.
Game At Stillwater Listed As Sellout
The game is the second sell-out of the season for A&M basketball. Gallagher fieldhouse capacity is 8,500.
Phil Frazier, Oklahoma's senior quarter-miler from Ada, ran a blazing 47.1-second 400-meters leg while bringing the Sooner 1,600-meter relayists from last place to first in the recent Sugar Bowl meet ta New Orleans. However, Frazier's great second leg was wasted as Oklahma failed to place.
"Defense is still our biggest problem," Coach Waugh said. "Boys learn how to play defense in high school but it is completely different in the college ranks. In high school most teams concentrate on stopping one good shooter up here every man on the court is a threat. Consequently the shooters are ahead of the defense, so we spend about 50 per cent of our practice time on defense."
Defense Needs Work
Coach Waugh singled out Bob Hickman as being possibly the best defender on the freshman squad. "He certainly has the physical potential to play defense. He is big and fast and really handles himself well."
Waugh said there will be plenty of opportunity for this freshman squad to play ball on next year's varsity but cautioned that the return of so many outstanding sophomores of this year, breaking into the starting lineup will be difficult.
Fallev Outpoints Bethea
Waugh bemoaned the lack of a
SYRACUSE, N. Y. — (UP) — Promising young heavyweight Zora Folley, who got up off the canvas to win his second split decision over Wayne Bethea Wednesday night, today was promised a match with the winner of the bout between ranking heavywreights Bob Baker and Harold Carter.

big man for his freshman squad but pointed out that Jim Hoffman has done a great job off the boards with his tremendous spring. Jim was Missouri state high jump champion and he uses the jump to advantage. However, "He will have to get more aggressive when he moves into varsity play," Coach Waugh said.
Coach Waugh said the squad has an overbalance of good backcourt men with numerous good offensive men. "Phil Raiser is probably the best ball handler on the squad and maybe the best freshman floorman in several years. Phil's long suit is his sharp passing game but he will have to improve his defense to contend next year," Waugh said.
Waugh pointed up a problem that affects not only the freshman squad but also the varsity. That is the unequal distribution of scholarships for basketball players. "For example, we only have three men on freshman scholarship while there are nine seniors possessing basketball scholarships. The ideal situation, of course, would be to have five men from each class on scholarship to give us a more balanced program." Waugh said.
