The KU basketball team will be favored to win its 5th consecutive game of the season Saturday night when it meets St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia.
St. Joseph's has won only one of its three games this year, over Westchester State 70-61. They lost two close games to St. John's University and St. Francis College.
Not only does KU have a 4-game winning streak, but 7-foot all-America center Wilt Chamberlain will be playing in his home town for the first time since leaving high school in 1955.
The 4 Jayhawker victories were over Canisius College, Oklahoma State University, Marquette University, and Northwestern University. Oklahoma State and Northwestern came close to upsetting the Kansans but faltered to lose by 7 and 6 points, respectively.
Being favored to win isn't enough for KU coach Dick Charn. He pointed out Wednesday that St. John's defeated St. Joseph's by only 7 points and that St. John's is one of the
stronger teams in the East.
Need Practice Badly
"What we need most of all right now," he said, "is two weeks of practice. Of course that isn't possible, but somewhere before Jan., when we start conference play, we must find a combination that can protect itself defensively against a man-for-man attack."
He said KU's lack of speed might handicap its defense all season.
St. Joseph has only three upperclassmen from last year's team, and will not compare with the Jayhawkers in height. Their biggest man is 6-foot 9-inch sophomore center Bob Clarke, the tallest man ever to play for a St. Joseph team.
Wilt. Loneski Lead Team
As usual, Chamberlain and Ron Loneski, 6-foot, 5-inch junior forward, will be expected to lead the KU offense. Chamberlain has a 32.3 scoring average in the first 4 games and Loneski is averaging 14. The same two are leading the team in rebounds.
