Jayhawks trounce OU in first Big Eight tilt
By ROBERT STEVENS
Depth proved to be KU's long suit Saturday night as they wiped out Oklahoma 97-73 on the Jayhawk court.
The Sooners started off with a 7-4 lead before Wilson sparked KU to a 12-2 scoring drive. Oklahoma started four forwards and a center to try to get control of the boards with height, but this too did little to phase the KU hoopsters.
Reserve player Bob Wilson, who started in place of the injured Rodger Bohnenstichl, sparked the KU cage team with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Oklahoma tried three different defenses, but KU was able to break them with little trouble. They started with the zone and later went to man for man, infiltrating both of them with a full court press.
Don Sidle, Sooner center, led the cagemen as top scorer for the evening with 23. But all of the KU starters placed in double figures. Led by Wilson with 21. Ron Franz hit 17. Jo JO White made 17. Vernon Vanoy 16. and Phil Harmon had 12.

Owens thinks Bohnenstiehl will return to practice Tuesday provided there are no more complications with the ruptured vein.
So who will start against Missouri Saturday?
Owens will decide later this week but says, "We're not a five-man team and never have been."
Jim Gillispie set a KU gymnastics record on the side horse Saturday when the Jayhawkers met Iowa State and lost 183.15- 159.35.
THE LOSING effort was against what Lockwood termed one of the best gymnastics units in the nation. He said the Cyclones rank second only to Southern Illinois.

"THESE BOYS could have meant as many as 13 additional points to the final score," Lockwood said. "In close contests, that would hurt."
Iowa State fashioned two of the nation's best in Jerry Fontana and Mike Jacki who finished with team totals of 51.65 and 51.75 respectively.
Gillispie's record score was 9.05 out of possible 10.0, a University first.
SATURDAY THE JAYHAWKERS will journey to Central Missouri State, Warrensburg, Mo. The following Monday the team will face Wichita State there, and Friday, Jan. 20, a dual meet at K-State, to end first semester competition.
Also in first place with the Christmas Tourney Champions are Colorado who knocked off Kansas State, 71-68; Iowa State who edged Missouri, 57-11; and Nebraska who topped Oklahoma State 67 to 57.
"We're proud of Gillispie," said KU coach Bob Lockwood, "and we expect great things from him."
This brings KU its first Big Eight victory of the season and a tie for first place in league play which began Saturday.
When asked whether this crowded schedule would hamper the showing of the team. Lockwood replied:
In the Saturday contest, KU was hampered by either injuries or illness to 11 of its 12 regular performers. In fact, two didn't suit up.
LANE'S RECORD
The Jayhawks will take a week's rest before invading Missouri Saturday for their second Big Eight game.
Pierson also accumulated the highest team total for seven events with 50.30 points.
Neither Steve Pyle, suffering with tonsillitis, nor Jim Worcester, sidelined with a sore throat, were available for action.
Bob Pierson and Richard Hemphill turned in solid performances, Lockwood said. Pierson scored an 8.65 out of 10 in floor exercises while Hemphill hit the parallel bar for 8.7.
"We worked very hard to prepare for Iowa State, evidently too hard. I think we will have to be more careful this time."
LOS ANGELES — (UPI)—Dick (Night Train) Lane, playing for the Los Angeles Rams during the 1952 National Football League season, intercepted 14 passes for a league record.
