'Big Time' Marquette Is KU Foe Saturday
The Milwaukee Journal quoted Marquette University as having a basketball team with "big time" ambitions. Those ambitions could be realized and promoted considerably when the Warriors come to Lawrence Saturday night to meet KU and Wilt Chamberlain.
Saturday night's game in Allen Field House will be the second for the Jawhawkers and for head coach Dick Harp. Already, on the basis of an 87-59 victory over Northwestern, KU is rated as the best college basketball team in the United States by the United Press board of coaches.
Harp naturally indicated that he would start Chamberlain, the 7-foot center who has been called "Stilt," the "Dippar," and the "Dunker" by sportswriters, at the pivot position. Co-captain John Parker and last year's all-Big Seven guard, Maurice King, will probably start at guard while co-captain Gene Elstun and Lew Johnson will see opening action at forward.
Sophomores Are Spark
Marquette opened its season Monday night with a 77-53 victory over St. Norbert College while Wednesday night the Warriors defeated Depaul 61-60 in an overtime. Of Depaul, Harp said. " They always have a fine team."
Marquette looked little like a team with "big time' ambitions in defeating St. Norbert, however, until two sophomores, Mike Moran, 6-8, and Jim McCoy, 6-1, started a second half rally that pulled the Warriors out of their drums.
McCoy, by the way, won't be meeting Chamberlain on the court for the first time. The two met in a state high school tournament in Pennsylvania. McCoy, a brother of

With Ron Loneski on the injured list Harp will probably use Monte Johnson considerably at forward and lanky Lee Green may occasionally relieve Chamberlain at center.
"Defense is our main problem," said Harp, "and that, along with work in all the fundamentals of the game, is what we will continue to work on until after the Big Seven tournament in Kanass City." He added that, "we are now trying to get ready for the conference season."
Must Stop Wilt
While Harp is trying to improve the all-around play of his top-ranked squad, which showed glaring deficiencies many times against Northwestern Monday night, opposing coaches and strategists will be seeking ways to stop Chamberlain. In fact they will probably spend considerable time in this occupation. However, with all the starters back from last year's 14-9 Jayhawk squad (except Dallas Dobbs) plus a few added basketball personalities, the KU team, even with Chamberlain taking a breathing spell on the bench, will be no pushover.
Another encouraging fact is that even while Northwestern was playing a brand of ball designed to encourage Chamberlain to foul, the big center drew only two personalls.
Double Slam by McCormick
Besides McCoy and Moran, Marquette's starting team will probably feature John Glaser, 6-5 forward, Gerry Hopfensperger, 6-4 guard and Clem Massey, 6-0 guard.
MELBOURNE — (UP) — Pat McCormick, a 26-year-old mother from Lakewood, Calif., tonight became the first diver in Olympic history to make a successful defense of two championships when she won the women's tower diving title.

Louisville Wins With 1-2 Punch
Charlie Tyra and Jim Morgan of Louisville are shaping up as college basketball's best one-two scoring punch of the new season.
Ev UNITED PRESS
In leading the Cardinals to the National Invitational Tournament championship last season, Tyra set a new school scoring record by totaling 690 points in 29 games.
Now these twin terrors of the court are at it again. Morgan whipped in 23 points last night and Tyra added 22 as the Cardinals outclassed the University of Detroit, 91-78.
It was the third straight victory of the season for Louisville, picked as the nation's no. 2 team behind Kansas in the United Press pre-season ratings.
St. John's of New York opened its season under returning head coach Joe Lapchick by walloping King's Point, 96-48. Lapchick built St. John's into a national power a decade ago, then coached the New York Knickerbockers in the professional National Basketball Association.
Iowa State came from behind in the final seven minutes to defeat Brigham Young, 57-48, for its third straight victory. Gary Thompson scored 19 points for the winners, who trailed by three points at the half.
San Francisco's defending national champions will be hunting their 58th straight victory tonight when they entertain little Chico State. The Dons have lost star guard Gene Brown for three weeks with a fractured hand and are ripe for an upset, especially Saturday night when they run into a tough Seattle University team.
