Jayhawks Keep Rolling
By Russ Corbitt (Sports Editor)
The Jayhawk Express, with Walt Wesley at the controls, rolled on to its seventh consecutive victory Saturday with a 73-66 triumph over Missouri.
Wesley connected on 12 of 23 shots from the field and nine of 15 free throws to engineer the KU attack with 33 points. Al Lopes, turning in another of his outstanding games, pumped in 16 points.
A crowd of 12,000 was present to welcome the Jayhawks back after a successful seven-game road schedule. The victory ran KU's season record to 10-3, and kept the Jayhawks in the conference lead with a 2-0 mark.
With 11:18 left in the first half, Riney Lochmann hit a field goal to give the Jayhawks a 16-14 lead. The Tigers were never again able to overtake the winners, as the margin varied throughout the game from one to 13 points.
AFTER GETTING off to a slow and jittery start, KU took the lead over the Tigers, 10-9, after five minutes had elapsed.
After beginning the second half with a 39-35 edge, the Jayhawks quickly built up a 51-38 advantage as Wesley picked up seven points in less than five minutes.
But then Charlie Rudd started popping in long jump shots to narrow the gap to 53-47. The Tigers pulled to the gap four, 68-64, with
COACH TED OWENS said tenseness was responsible for KU's ragged start, but had nothing but praise for the Jayhawks' efforts after they settled down.
1:43 remaining, but two free throws by Lopes and three by Del Lewis insured the KU victory.
"We had been on the road for several games, and the boys wanted to make a good showing for the home crowd," Owens said. "They were a little on edge at first.
"WE WILL DO everything in our power to win the Big Eight title, because the boys really want it. But we will have to be willing to be in 12 more dogfights just like tonight."
Owens said he anticipated the full-court press employed by the Missouri guards most of the game.
"I think we have some momentum now with seven straight wins, but we still have a lot of work and improvement to do," the rookie head coach said.
"Most teams usually either sag on Wesley or pressure us," Owens said. "Delvy (Lewis) and Al (Lopes) are both real good at getting the ball downcourt, and I don't think the pressure bothered them except to make them a little more tired."
THE JAYHAWKS will attempt to run the string to eight and boost their conference record to 3-0 tonight when they take on Colorado at Boulder. The Buffs defeated Kansas State, 80-77, at Boulder Saturday.
"I think we will play better offensively against Colorado than we did against them in the Big Eight tourney." Owens said. KU edged the Buffs, 53-51, in the tourney finals.
"They also respect our forwards, because Chana, Lochmann and Franz can hit from the corners if the defense is concentrated on Wesley. All we have to do now is work for the best shot."
Coach Sox Walseth said offense is more of a problem than defense for his Buffaloes, now owning a 1-1 conference record. But the CU coach thinks 6-7 junior center Chuck Gardner, who hit 20 points against Missouri, may provide the needed inside scoring threat.
"People respect Lewis and Lopes now, and don't sag their guards on Wesley." Owens said in explaining KU's new offensive power.
Led by Jerry Fontana and showing good scoring balance, the Iowa State gymnasts soundly beat KU Friday night. 92-28.
Tonight's game at Boulder will start at 9:05 p.m. Lawrence time.
Fontana scored 31 points while winning first place in the high bar, still rings and all-around, and finishing in one of the top three places in four other events.
Cyclones Dump KU Gymnasts
The only Kansas gymnast who could break into the top three was Kent Dobbins, winning second in the floor exercises and third in the parallel bars.
There were only two entries in the all-around event, with Fontana heating Dobbins 48.6-41.8.
The highly-touted Cyclones swept all first places, and took the first three places in five of seven events.
Paul Penley was the other double winner for Iowa State, winning the floor exercise and tying with teammate Jim Selby in the long horse.

KU Freshmen Romp Over Arkansas City
Season victory No. 2 came easy for the KU freshman basketball team in the fashion of a 77-49 triumph over Arkansas City junior college in a preliminary to the KU-MU game Saturday.
The junior Jayhawks had no trouble in picking up their second victory in as many games.
The tall KU freshmen had easy pickings over the Tigers, but it was 6-1 Wandy Williams who led the winners. The ball-hawking guard from Rockville Center, N.Y., paced KU with 18 points. John Carter again provided the freshmen with offensive power, as he added 17 points, including eight of 10 from the field.
Ark City's Claude Hardy, a standout at Kansas City's Manual High School last year, took game scoring honors with 28.
KU starter Rodger Bohnenstieh sprained an ankle in the first half, but the injury is not believed to be severe. He, Bo Harris and Ron Lang each contributed nine points to the KU scoring show.
