AP rates KU sixth in basketball
From the Associated Press
After finishing last year as the number seven team in the country and one of the four finalists in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball championship, the University of Kansas won the Associated Press college basketball poll.
Last year's champion, North Carolina State, was chosen to repeat its national championship in a long-time kingpin UCLA in last year's NCAA championships, scored 934 points with the help of 33 first-place ballots from the state and broadcasters throughout the country.
UCLA, which won the NCAA championship seven straight years before getting knocked out by North Carolina State in the semifinals in March, was picked as the
country's No. 2 team by the voters. The Bruins got 13 ballots for first place and 878
Indiana, which shared the Big Ten title with Michigan and lost a play-off to the Wolves for birth in the NCAA for basketball was in third place, well back with 66 points.
Maryland, which lost to North Carolina State in a drama-filled play-off for the Atlantic Conference title, was given by the Knicks and selected as the country's No. 4 team.
Big 8 basketball begins Friday
From the Associated Press
South Carolina and Notre Dame, the only other teams to get first-place votes, got one.
The voters gave No. 5 ranking to Marquette, which lost to North Carolina State in a NCAA championship game.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—it's basketball time in the Bier Eight Conference.
Oklahoma, Iowa State and Oklahoma State will get the new season under way Friday night, and the other schools will launch their campaigs Saturday.
Oklahoma, which is expected to give defending champion Kansas the most trouble, will play in a doubleheader also involving Oklahoma State at Oklahoma Sooners will clash with Tulsa, and Oklahoma State will battle Oklahoma City University.

Kansas, odds-on favorite to repeat as Big Eight king, will face Northeast Missouri State on Saturday. The state is open at home, Missouri State meeting Montana State, Missouri State colliding with Wisconsin (Oshkosh) and Nebraska hosting Kansas State. Colorado will play California.
Kivisto is the only player missing from last season's championship cast.
Coach Ted Owens, who guided Kansas to the National Collegiate Athletic Association championship semifinals last season, said, "Logically, we should be favored. We have a problem with the loss of Tom Kivisto. He is leading our chemistry which brought it all together."
Oklahoma Coach Joe Ramsay admitted that Kansas "has to be an overwhelming favorite." But a team with Alvan Adams "has a good shot at the title," he said. "The Sooners have Adams, and Ramsey thinks he can score the scoring leader 'will be better than ever.'"
Trickey, the former Oral Roberts coach, said, "Our team will play well. We'll try to run and shoot the ball and play a pressure-type defense. The game was invented to play the ball. Trickey has a good nucleus of plays, so we have Craig Delass, Larry Loots and Hercule V.
Coach Guy Strong of Oklahoma State has Andy Hopson, the conference rebounding leader who averaged 14.4 rebounds a game. The Cowboys are in a tie, and it is gone. The Cowboys will find out about

It was a mixed weekend for women's sports at the University of Kansas as the basketball team lost twice, the volleyball players hung on to a possible national final. The U.S. defeated three other schools at a meet Friday night at Robinson Natorium.
Marian Washington, women's basketball coach, cited tough competition, offensive problems and a rash of turnovers as the main reasons for her team's losses.
On Saturday, KU traveled to Phillips University, but lost 94-36. Phillips returned four All-State (Okla.) basketball players from last year's team.
The basketball team lost 75-40 at Claremore College on Friday. Forward Pemy Paulsen and pivot Nancy Hanna paused and placed 15 points respectively to the game effort.
At the Region Six Voleball联赛 Tournament, KU placed fifth out of 15 teams. But their 7-2 match record and their impressive play against the eventual tournament winner, Southwest Missouri State University, was enough to rank sixth in the national tournament next month.
Assistant volleyball coach Judy Raney said one team, that didn't finish in the top two in Region Six play was voted as an "at-large" representative.
The University of Minnesota finished second and the Kansas State University Wildcitters, second to KU in the state meet, finished eighth.
According to Raney, KU should find out whether it is going to Portland, Ore., on Dec. 12 for the national tournament some time after Dec. 2.
The KU women's swim team, coached by Claire McEiroy, extended its winning streak Friday at Robinson to 2-0 by a victory over the Ozarks and William Jell College.
