Veterans, rookies shine in KU win
By JAY COOPER
When basketball, Big Eight champion style, opened last night in Fayetteville, Ark., one of KU's big men from last year sat on the bench. With the game still in its early stages Rodger Bohnenstiehl checked in.
Paced by "the machine," the Jayhawks trounced the Arkansas Razorbacks, 73-57.
The Collinsville, Ill., junior swept the scoring lead with 25 tallies, hitting 18 from the field and seven from the charity stripe.
BEHIND Bohnenstiehl, Coach Ted Owens had three more double figure scorers.
Veteran Ron Franz connected for 18 points, all but one of these coming in a first half scoring spree. For a time it seemed that Franz might better his previous high, when he scored 23 points
against Kansas State his sophomore year. But in the second half he was contained by the Razorbacks and fouls.
On defense, Franz showed his senior experience by wiping the boards numerous times, blocking shots and stealing the ball.
Jo-Jo White, the Jayhawk sophomore hailed as one of the top guards in the country, showed his defensive abilities with ball thefts at crucial points in the game. Following a first half shooting lull, the St. Louis, Mo., product tossed in 11 points for second half support.
JOINING THE three veterans above the single figure mark was Vernon Vanoy, in his first game as a varsity Jayhawk.
The 6-8,235 pound sophomore launched KU's offensive attack by producing the first nine points of the evening.
Hampered by fouls Vanoy sat out much of the game and in the second half added one point for a ten point night before fouling out with 1:54 left in the game.
In the first ten minutes of play, during which the lead changed hands four times, Vanoy showed prowess at using his size on the boards and on defense.
Along with Vanoy, Bruce Sloan, another Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, helped brighten KU's chances for a winning season. Playing at both the guard and forward slots, Sloan pushed through four points for the Jayhawks, adding effect with his ball-handling.
ANOTHER FIRST gamer, Howard Arndt, who played his high school ball in Republic, Mo., also scored four in addition to performing with skill on defense.

more starter who scored 18 points, 12 of those coming at the free throw line.
Wally Freeman, one of the Razorbacks three veterans, scored 16 points for the loser's second place honors. The bulk of Freeman's scoring came in the second half when he bagged 11 points.
Providing Kansas' defending Big Eight champions with their home opener Saturday night will be the Xavier University Musketeers from Cincinnati. The game will be the second of the young season for both clubs, Xavier meeting Air Force at Colorado Springs tonight for its opener, and KU having defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks last night 73-57.
YOUTH earmarks both teams' starting line-ups. Xavier coach Don Ruberg, in his fourth year at the school, plans to start only one returner in 6-6 junior Bob Quick. Quick led the club in almost every department last year, averaging 20 points and 11.6 rebounds during his rookie campaign.
MONDAY night the Buckeyes of Ohio State will hit Allen Field House to try to avenge their 81-68 defeat to KU last year at Columbus. It will be Ohio State's third game, of the season. In their home opener last night, they defeated Butler, 74-67, and will face Iowa State at Ames tomorrow night.
Ohio State is hubbed by Bill Hosket, a 6-7 junior who led the Buckeyes in scoring and rebounding last year when they slumped to 11-13, their first losing season since prior to their
Other new faces are sophmores Tom Rohling and Tom Schlager who teamed with soph Luther Rackey, 6-11 pivot from Troy, N.Y., on last year's crack freshman team. Completing the Musketeer five is Joe Pangrazio, a transfer from Tennessee.
Jayhawk basketball teams have never played Xavier before. The Musketeers finished with a 13-13 record last season.
Coach Fred Taylor, now in his eighth year with the Bucks, is moving Hosket from forward to the pivot where he feels the free-wheeling youngster will be even more effective.
NCAA championship team of 1960.
Coach Owens, who now owns a 41-12 KU record, also used veterans Bob Wilson and Pat Davis and sophomore Rich Thomas and junior George Yarnevich.
Another top returnee is 6-4 senior forward Ron Sepic, last year's number three scorer at 15.4. Al Rowley, a senior who averaged 6.5 last winter, and sophomores Jeff Miller and Dennis Meadors round out Ohio State's starting lineup.
Other scorers for the "Porkers" were Jacky Kimbrell with eight, Tom Rowland with seven, senior center David Self with six and benchman Benton Cohn with one point.
KANSAS STARTED four sophomores against Arkansas and whether they'll all hold those positions for the games with the Ohio invaders is problematical, coach Owens remarked.
In the series between KU and Arkansas, the Crimson and Blue lead with six wins and one loss.
Harmon, still recovering from a pre-season injury, tossed in one point and aided White in moving the ball on the scoring side of the court.
