Rugged defense tames Tigers, 70-54
Bu DAN AUSTIN
A rugged defense by the KU Jayhawkers harassed the University of the Pacific Tigers into a 70-54 defeat last night.
Both teams started cold, but after seven minutes of play the Hawks gained steam, stayed hot and by the time the second half started, the ballgame was a KU victory.
The winning combination for Kansas was forward Rodger Bohnenstiehl, high scorer with 22 points, who did his shooting from
under the basket, and guard Jo Jo White, with 12 points, who fired away from near mid-court.
KEITH SWAGERTY, the hefty 235 lb., 6' 7" Tiger center, led his team with 25 points. But the hard KU defense and subsequent Kansas fouls let him earn 11 of those points from the free throw line.
With 13:15 left in the first half, the Tigers held a nip 'n' tuck lead of 11-12. Then, KU center Vernon Vanoy pushed Kansas into a one point lead.
KU took the ball for the next three minutes as White, guard
Phil Harmon and Bohnenstiehl
upped the Kansas lead to 18-14.
The Tigers got their last chance to pull out with 9:22 to go when Swagerty narrowed the Hawk lead to 20-18.
BUT THEY couldn't do it and a rapid attack by Bohnenstiehl left Kansas ahead 33-27 at the half.
When the second half opened, a three-minute flurry of successes by forward Ron Franz. White and Bohnenstiehl seemed to demoralize the Tigers, and KU had a safe 42-27 stand.

UP FOR THE BALL
The Tigers rush in, but Kansas forward Ron Franz already has the rebound well in hand.
"The most pleasing part of the season so far is that we have gone 6-0 to this point," Owens said, "but we can improve 100 per cent."
"The three good buckets after the second half broke the game," he explained. "Their defense smothered us. It forced us right out of our offense."
The Jayhawks did not practice Sunday and worked out briefly on Monday.
Owens pleased by sixth win
KU's outside threat, guard Jo Jo White, and inside threat, center Rodger Bohnenstiehl, provided the Tigers with problems.
It doesn't take too much to please basketball coach Ted Owens.
All you have to do is keep winning.
BOHNENSTIEHL scored 22 points and White added 12.
And that's just what the Jayhawks did last night. The 70-54 win over the University of Pacific pushed KU's record to 6-0.
AS A RESULT, KU jumped into a 42-27 lead with 17:24 remaining and the Tigers never recovered.
FRIOR TO GAME time, Owens had been worried. The Jayhawks had played four games in eight days and they were tired. So Owens provided the next best solution: rest.
"I figured if we rested and got away from it, we would come back better." Owens explained.
Indeed, the rest paid off. The Jayhawks led 33-27 at halftime but didn't open the game until the early moments of the second half.
"White gave us an excellent effort and leadership." Owens said. "I was more pleased with him tonight than I have been all year."
Dick Edwards, University of Pacific coach, agreed.
He added, "When we needed a field goal or rebound, Bohnen-stiehl got it." In all, Bohnenstiehl pulled down 12 rebounds.
It's official now, Owens is pleased with his ninth-ranked basketball team.
Is there a best glass for beer?
With some beers maybe the glass doesn't matter. But when the beer is Budweiser, our brewmaster holds strong views.
"I like a glass with plenty of room," he says. "Size is more important than shape. A big glass, say one that'll hold a full bottle, is best."

Budweiser
A big glass gives Budweiser a chance to show off . . . lets you pour it straight down the middle to get a full collar of foam. (Those tiny bubbles are the only beer bubbles in America that come from the natural carbonation of Beechwood Ageing.) Another thing about a big glass: it lets you quaff the beer. And who wants to sip, when the beer tastes as hearty as Budweiser?
That's about the size of it! Choose any kind of glass you want . . . as long as it's big enough. (Of course, we have our own opinion on the best beer for the glass.)
