Harp Takes Jayhawks Jinx to MU for Finale
Kansas basketball coach Dick Harp will be seeking his eleventh consecutive victory over Missouri when he guides his Jayhawkers into Columbia tomorrow afternoon for a nationally televised season finale.
Since assuming the reins from Dr. F.C. Allen in 1957, Coach Harp has fostered a jinx which now stands at 10-0 over the Tigers.
Kansas leads in the all-time series, 104-60, including the 88-75 win over Missouri in their first conference meeting here a month ago.
THE JAYHAWKERS still have a chance for a tie with Kansas State for the Big Eight crown, but they

must down Missouri and have Colorado upset the fourth rated Wildcats for a share of the championship which these same teams held last season.
"I'll be disappointed if we don't do a good job against Missouri," said Harp. "I don't see any reason why we won't. We'll have to give maximum effort or they'll beat us. I thought our team continued to show increased effort against Iowa State Monday. It was improved over that of the Oklahoma game."
Outrebounding his foremost rival, Henry Whitney, 19-9, in the 85-75 win over Iowa State, Kansas center Bill Bridges closed within four caroms of the 6-7 Cyclone forward, who closed his career at Ames.
WHITNEY, RUNNER-UP just six lengths behind Bridges last year, now shows a final total of 166. With
the match against Missouri still remaining. Bridges rests at 162.
By passing Whitney, Bridges will probably be assured of his third consecutive rebounding flag, although Colorado center Roger Voss is also in the picture.
All four active members in the Big Eight 1000-point club will be matched in the KU-MU grudge battle.
Latest to enter the charmed circle which now includes only 18 players is Bridges who pumped in 19 at Iowa State for a career total of 1010. He follows the 1961 initiates Wayne Hightower and Missouri's Charlie Henke and Joe Scott.
HENKE is the leading scorer in the conference with a 24.8 point per game average. He is the league's fourth highest pointmaker of all-time, having collected a three-year total of 1318 points.
Hightower is averaging 20.9 per game to be second in the conference scoring derby. The KU forward has poured in 502 markers which is far out of reach of Henke's 571 points.
Bridges has maintained a 16 point per game average this season.
SCOTT BLISTERED Nebraska at Columbia Monday night for 46 points for a new Brewer Field House record. His splurge tied Wilt Chamberlain's conference high which was also set against the Cornhuskers, in 1958.
The 6-4 senior drilled home 18 field goals—also a new school mark—out of 30 tries. His astonishing gunnery placed Norm Stewart's 1112 career total in jeopardy. Scott needs 19 against the Jayhawkers to replace Stewart as the third best scorer in Missouri history.
