No.1 Rating At Stake As KU Battles Huskies
Kansas University's top-rated and unbeaten basketball team faces its first road test of the season tonight when the Jayhawkers play the Washington Huskies in Seattle.
Washington will also be the Jayhawkers opponent Saturday night in the Western swing which will conclude with a game with California U. in Berkeley Tuesday night.
Kansas, sparked by the fabulous Wilt Chamberlain with his 45.5-point average in the first two Jayhawker contests, is favored to gain its third and fourth victories against the talented Huskies. KU opened the season with victories over Northwestern and Marquette, while Washington has a 1-2 record in its opening tilts. The Seattle club of Coach Tippy Dye lost to Brigham Young in its opener and then split with Oklahoma A&M.
Use Double Post
Two excellent tall men are the key to the Washington attack. Bruno Boin, 6-8 center, and Doug Smart, 6-7, a forward who has been the Huskie scoring leader to date, will attempt to stop the yet-unchecked Chamberlain. On offense these two men are expected to employ their excellent hook shots off a double-post setup.
Coach Dick Harp is expected to go with the same lineup that has started the first two KU games. Gene Elstun and Lew Johnson will man the forward positions. John Parker and Maurice King will open at guards with the 7-foot Chamberlain holding down the center position.
Ronnie Loneski, 6-5 sophomore forward who missed the Marquette game because of a foot injury is expected to see a great deal of action against the Huskies.
Johnston Will Relieve
Ronnie Johnston, who sparked the Jayhawkers during the first half of the Marquette game when the Milwaukee team threatened to make a close game out of it, will be used
San Francisco Streak At Stake
Bv UNITED PRESS
Top-ranked Kansas, with fabulous Wilt Chamberlain, and streaking San Francisco take their respective "shows" on the road tonight, hoping the upset bugaboo that has plagued other highly-regarded teams doesn't strike them.
The Dons, with a record 59-game victory streak, meet Loyola of Chicago (3-0) tonight in one-half of the Loyola pre-holiday tournament. Santa Clara plays the triumphant U. S. Olympic team, featuring ex-Dons K. C. Jones and Bill Russell, in the other game. San Francisco has beaten Chico State, California, San Francisco State and Seattle thus far and more than likely will wind up against the Olympians in the tourney title game Saturday night.
Only Kentucky among the top 10 ranked teams sees action tonight besides Kansas and San Francisco. The seventh-ranked Wildcats are paired with Maryland at Lexington. St. Louis, sparked by the defensive play of Cal Burnett, downed touring Texas Christian, 90-81, Wichita defeating Xavier (0.），93-86, in double overtime, La Salle, led by
to relieve the two starting guards. The Jayhawkers left Kansas City by plane Wednesday and arrived in Seattle that night. They will return home from their trip next Wednesday.
All three games will begin at 10 o.m. (Lawrence time) and will be broadcast over radio station WREN and by the KU Sports Network.

Bums Swap Jackie To Giants

NEW YORK — (UP) — The youth-minded Brooklyn Dodgers, having taken the first plunge by dealing away 37-year-old Jackie Robinson, are expected to cause more trade ripples shortly to make room for new talent.
Even before Robinson was traded to the New York Giants yesterday for left-handed pitcher Dick Littlefield and an estimated $50,000, vice president E. J. (Buzzy) Bavasi of the Dodgers admitted, "I've got to get rid of one or two of our older players so that the youngsters will get a chance to play."
Left fielder Carl Furillo, who will be 35 before the Dodgers open defense of their National League championship next spring, may be the next Flatish "graybeard" sacrificed for younger blood.
During the recent minor league meetings at Jacksonville, Fla., the Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies almost consummated a multiplayer deal involving Furillo and center fielder Richie Ashburn of the Phillies.
Bavasi and Philadelphia general manager Roy Hamey both admitted at the time they had discussed a trade and, even though they broke off negotiations at Jacksonville, they could be resumed again during the winter.
The Chicago Cubs also have shown marked interest in acquiring Furillo and third baseman Randy Jackson, who was traded to the Dodgers by the Cubs last winter.
Although Bavasi admits that "only the future will tell how much we'll miss Robinson." Jackie's shipment across the East river at least will give manager Walt Alston a chance to test such promising youngsters as outfielder Don Demeter and infielders Charley Neal and Chico Fernandez.
