Indiana meets KU in top-10 battle

Number three will meet number seven at 7:35 tonight in Allen Field House when the nationally third-ranked Indiana Hoosiers take on the seventh-ranked University of
It will be the first "big game" in college basketball this season and it will also mark the sixth time the two schools have played. Indiana has won the five previous games, including victories in the 1940 and 1953 national finals.
During the last two seasons, the Hoosiers have had few problems with the Jayhawks. They're still going strong.
KSU slashes aid for minor sports
From the Associated Press
MANHATTAN—Kansas State University, faced with rising costs and decreasing revenue, will phase out the next three years all scholarships for golf, tennis, track and field.
Brad Rothermel, assistant athletic director and business manager for K-State, estimated in making the announcement yesterday that eliminating the scholarships would save the university an estimated $35,000-$40,000 annually.
The Kansas State Athletic Council voted Monday to eliminate the minor sports scholarships. Rothermell said he didn't believe they were currently receiving such assistance.
Rothermal also said the varisty gymnastics program would be eliminated in 2014.
Rothermel said students already receiving minor sport scholarship and would be offered a chance to study at Rothermel.
Rothermal else alumping attendance at kansas State football games was partly to blame for the loss.
Now in his fourth year at Indiana, Head Coach Bob Kyight Knight has a reputation for coaching tough defensive teams. He has played in the years at Army where his teams led the nation in defense three times. As in the past, the team was on an aggressive, pressive man-to-man.
crushed the 'Hawks 725-55, last year in Bloomington, again had an easy time with KU in 72-58 win. In both games it was the Hoosiers' defense that made the difference and, again this year, Indiana has one of the top defenses in the country.

"We'll have to move the ball well," KU Head Coach Ted Owens said yesterday of his squad's tactics against the Indiana defense. "They have great athletes, they attack the ball well, they have good weakside support—they've got a good combination of everything it takes to play good defense."
Last year against KU, the Hoosiers directed their defense at KU's quarterback Tom Kivisto. Kivisto, as KU's only major opponent, was one of the best of others, however, said that Kivisto's
graduating may actually benefit KU's chances against Indiana.
"They won't be able to concentrate on just one player this year. We're not zeroing in on any one player in our ball handling now," Owens said.
The man who spearheads Indiana's defense is junior guard Quinn Buckner. Buckner was All-Big Ten last year, started on Indiana's football team as a freshman, and played in the national basketball team against China, the Soviet Union and in the World University Games.
"He's a great athlete—one of the best, if not the best, in the country," Owens said. In the past, Buckner has concentrated on defensive plays and defended more of an offensive threat this year.
"We seem to feel that now that he's not out for football anymore that his shooting has improved." Owens said. "He doesn't mean I can't take us—he's shot well enough in the past."
Indiana hasn't played since its opening 113-60 win against Tennessee Tech on Saturday night. The Hoosiers have been preparing for KU ever since and have had

scouts at every KU game, including the intrasquad game.
KU, meanwhile, has had only one day to get ready after winning its second straight game of the season, Monday night's 85-50 victory against Augusta College. Owens said that because of the time factor, KU wouldn't make any major changes.
The KU junior varsity will play St. Paul's College of Concordia, Mo. at 5:15 p.m. in Allen Field House prior to the varsity contest.

Oklahoma completed an 11-0 season Saturday by routing Oklahoma State 44-13. That was good enough to earn the Sooners 49 first-place votes and 1,188 of a possible 1,220 points in the Associated Press final regular-season poll of sports writers and broadcasters.
It was the fourth straight week the Sooners have been No. 1. Coach Barry Switzer's troops are ineligible for bowl competition because of recruiting indications and will have to await the final poll Jan. 2 before claiming the national title.

Oklahoma has put in its final bid for college football championship, but the Sooners will have to wait for a month to see if it stands up.
Alabama, 11-0, appears to be the only team with a shot at the championship. The Crismon Tide wound up the regular campaign with a 17-13 triumph over Auburn last Friday. They continued No. 2 in the AP with 12 first-place ballists, and 1,112 points.
