KU Faces Tigers In Conference Tilt
Hampered by lack of full-scale practices and a Wilt Chamberlain below par, the Kansas Jayhawkers finished preparations to meet the Missouri Tigers Saturday in Columbia.
The Jayhawkers will have to fight to keep their hopes for another conference crown alive. Due to their loss to Oklahoma in their Big Eight opener, Coach Harp said he feels they will have to win their remaining Big Eight contests if they can hope to keep their conference title for another year.
Missouri, like Kansas, now has a 1-1 record in Big Eight competition. The Tigers have lost to Iowa State and won their game against Nebraska.
A capacity crowd of almost 6,000 is expected for the game.
Missouri coach, Sparky Stalcup, admits they have "nothing special" in mind for defensing Chamberlain.
Staleup said, "We just want to make Wilt earn everything he gets out there and try to have our most error-free game of the year. I feel sure our kids will be fired up and not concede a thing to KU in hustle and scrap."
Stalcup has admitted that he hopes to keep Chamberlain fenced in, but added that he was also concerned about Chamberlain's teammates, especially forward Ron Loneski, the Jayhawkers' No. 2 scorer. He pointed out the reason for his worry by noting that last year Chamberlain got 32 points and 20 rebounds at Columbia while Loneski picked up 14 points and 16 rebounds.
Harp Says Tigers Tough
Harp said Thursday night he expected the Tigers to be especially tough. He also said he expected the boys to play a little more man-to-man than they had in past games.
"It's going to be a real rough ball game. If we can get by this one we'll just have to trust to our talent the rest of the way." Harp said.
He made this comment because of the fact the Jayhawkers have had to shorten their practices to an hour a night to give the boys time to study for final exams. He felt this has kept the team below the level they were at at the time of the Big Eight Tournament.
Harp said he felt Missouri's junior guard Sonny Siebert could be especially dangerous.
"He's an extremely good shot and has good size. In fact I feel he's the best shooter in the league," Harp commented.
Siebert at present is carrying a 12-game average of 18.1.
If the Jayhawkers go into a man-for-man defense it will be sophomore Bob Hickman who will be assigned to handle Siebert. Siebert is known for his shooting from 30-feet out and giving no warning of when he is going to let go.
At present Missouri has a 7-5 season record while Kansas has a 10-2 mark.
If Kansas can win the game, it will give them a 2-1 conference record. If both Iowa State and Kansas State were to lose their games tomorrow night, Kansas could move up to undisputed second place behind Oklahoma.

Basketball coach Dick Harp continued to run his squad through shortened drills Thursday in preparation for their third Big Eight game of the young season.
Little Practice Due To Exams
"As a whole I feel we're a long way from being as much of a team as we were around tournament time. We just haven't had the time we've needed to practice. A lot of the boys have a good share of their tests the first part of next week and it's necessary that they have a lot of extra time for studying," Harp said.
Harp said they have shortened workouts to one hour a night so the players will have extra time in preparation for final exams next week.
Asked about the condition of Wilt Chamberlain, Harp said, "I think he's in pretty good shape."
He added however that Chamberlain wouldn't be playing at the level he was before the Big Eight Tournament.
The Kansas swimming team took its fourth victory this year against one loss by defeating Kansas State, 48-36, in a dual meet at Manhattan Wednesday.
Swim Team Defeats Kansas State
A Kansas varsity record was broken by Jared Piety in the 440-yard freestyle. Piety beat his own record of 5.18.9 by turning in a time of 5.17.7.
Kansas now looks toward its next Big Eight dual meet with Oklahoma Feb. 8 here. On Feb. 1 the varsity will meet the freshman swimming team in an intra-squad meet.
The results:
410-yard medley—1. Kansas (Bill Matthews, Jim Laidlaw, John Jeffrev, Steve Hill). 4:44.0
220-yard freestyle—1 Piety. 2, Jon Poort, KU. 3, Tom Coblentz, KS.
2:22.0.
60-yard freestyle—1 Tom Onuma.
