BOB WILSON
Wilson will start
Senior Bob Wilson will replace injured starter Rodger Bohnenstiehl when the Jayhawks open their conference season Saturday against Oklahoma.
Tipoff at Allen Field House is scheduled for 8:05 p.m.
Wilson, 6-7 from St. Louis, will be substituting for KU's top scorer and rebounder.
Bohnenstehl has been averaging 16.6 points per game and 8.3 rebounds. The Collinsville, Ill., junior suffered a ruptured vein below the right knee last Friday in the Big Eight preseason tournament championship game against Iowa State.
Doctors have advised Bohnenstiehl not to put undue strain on the leg before next Tuesday.
WILSON has scored 59 points in 11 games.
Coach Ted Owens said other starters will include Vernon Vanoy (6-8), Ron Franz (6-7), Jo Jo White (6-3) and Phil Harmon (6-4).
Oklahoma enters the game with a 3-6 record. The Sooners lost to KU. 86-73, in the tournament semifinals.
OU coach Bob Stevens later said, "They (KU) have great depth. Some teams have lots of bodies who are big and strong, but at Kansas they have lots of bodies who are big and strong and all have great ability."
ONE OF KU's problems will be stopping OU center Don Sidle. The 6-8 junior is averaging 23.1 points. He scored 30 against KU in the tournament.

SKATERS AND SKIERS UPSET BY LITTERTBEG
NEW YORK—(UPI) The litterbug is a menace to skaters and skiers, reports Keep America Beautiful Inc. The national anti-litter organization explains that carelessly thrown litter on the ski slopes and on skating ponds can trip up unaware sportsmen.
"This vividly points up how every litter bit hurts," said Allen H. Seed Jr., executive vice president of KAB. Seed said in addition to injuries, the unsightly litter is left to mar the greenery of the slopes in the spring. And litter left on ice eventually sinks in the water and washes ashore to clutter bathing beaches in summer.
'Bone man' to initiate research laboratory
Come February, KU will be sporting one of the two or three largest physical anthropology staffs in the nation.
When Prof. Tom McKern arrives in time for second semester, he will make KU's third "bone man."
He joins associate professors William Bass and Ellis Kerley. Kerley came to KU just last September.
BASS WILL BE on sabbatical leave to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., in the spring semester. There, he will complete reports on two South Dakota excavations and will finish writing two books concerning the human skeleton and excavation techniques.
On his return to full-time teaching in the autumn, the three hope to begin action on a bone identification laboratory which will make KU a center of anthropological research.
The laboratory's purpose will be service and research, Bass said. The department is hoping for federal funds support.
