Hawks rate close runnerup
you don't like playing against. He will score heavy against a team with no strong center, but against a top defensive club Smith will probably score only 10."
WINTER HOPES to receive help from two junior college transfers, Fred Arnold (6-7) and Ray Willis (6-1). "They will play with the veterans early in the season to accomplish a good record and then help along with the conference race." Winter says.
K-State should have a lot stronger bench than most of its conference opponents as all seven lettermen started at one time or another.
Veterans include Dennis Berkholtz (6-1), Galen Frick (6-4), Bob George (5-11), Earl Seyfert (6-7) and Larry Weigel (6-3).
Winter sees his team having a better pre-conference record than in the past. "With our schedule (Minnesota, Oregon, Baylor, Florida State, Indiana, Texas Tech, Penn State and Kentucky) we should win every ball game we're in except maybe against Kentucky."
If K-State gets off to a slow start and is tossed around, chances of rising higher than fourth in the Big Eight are very slim. They might not recover soon enough.
COLORADO
Coach: Russell "Sox" Walseth
LAST YEAR: Won 6, lost 8;
12-13 overall, tied for fifth.
HIGH SCORER: Chuck Gardner
(graduated, 20.2). Bob Bauers,
11.8 points per game.
TOP REBOUNDER: Chuck
Gardner (graduated, 245).
Bob Bauers, 135 rebounds.
THIS SEASON: In algebra, a
minus and plus cancel out to no loss. And CU coach Sox Walseth is hoping, too, he can come up with a similar answer.
The minus factor is the loss of Chuck Gardner, two-time all-Big Eight center, who averaged 20.2 points and 11.8 rebounds. The plus factor is the return of 10 experienced players, including guards Pat Frik (6-4) and Lynn Baker (6-1), both of whom missed last season because of knee injuries.
Two years ago, Frink tossed in 15.1 points as a sophomore, was the team's second scorer and was selected to the all-conference team. Baker contributed 8.4 points.
They will have to perform beyond normal capacity to make Colorado respectable.
IN ADDITION, both starting guards of last season return, Chuck William (5-2) and Mike Rebich (6-4) giving the Buffs good playmaking strength and strong outside shooting.
with the return of Frink and Baker, Walseth doesn't know if the team's shooting will improve. "We have a problem in getting the ball, other than out of the net," he says with a grin.
MISSOURI
Coach: Bob Vanatta
LAST YEAR; Won 1, lost 13;
3-21 overall, eighth.
HIGH SCORE:
HIGH SCOREER: Ron Coleman,
21.3 points per game.
TOP REBOUNDER: Rich Milling, 136 rebounds.
THIS SEASON: Things are looking up for Missouri, which finished last and won only one game in the Big Eight. The Tigers lost one letterman and have seven
players taller than 6-6, including the tallest player in MU history, Booker Brown, a 7-0 sophomore.
"This will let us improve upon a real glaring weakness of last year—our inability to get the ball," says coach Bob Vanatta.
"This carries one more step—if we get the ball, we'll be able to fast break and be able to play more the game we like to play."
Furthermore, Missouri has the league's third high scorer, Ron Coleman (21.3), who will score from the outside against any team. Vanatta recruited three players from the Moberly, Mc., junior college championship team who will help—Jim Chapman (6-6), Tom Johnson (6-5) and Larry Pierick (4-6).
During the December schedule, Vanatta will try to find the top eight or nine players. Of the six lettermen, four started last year -Coleman (6-1), Rob Vanatta (6-3), Rich Milling (6-8) and Bob Dinsdale (6-2).
OKLAHOMA
Coach: Bob Stevens LAST YEAR: Won 7, lost 7; 11- 14 overall, fourth.
HIGH SCORER: Don Sidle, 17.6
points per game.
*OPP REBOUNDER: Don Sidle,
228 rebounds.
THIS SEASON: "I may sit on the bench all season," coach Bob Stevens said recently, "because there may be no reason to get up and look down it."
The Sooner basketball team is deperately thin beyond its four starters: Willie Rogers (6-3), Don Sidle (6-8), Terry Due (6-3) and Jim Johnson (6-4).
A second problem is the lack of
FLORSHEIM... THE INCOMPARABLE IMPERIAL

ARENSBERG'S 819 MASS VL 3-3470
scoring at guard. The two returning backcourt men, Due and Allen Gott, together averaged about 6.4 points per game.
A third problem is that Oklahoma was the most scored-on team in the Big Eight last season and still has the shortest height average, only 6-3 per man.
OKLAHOMA STATE
HIGH SCOREER: Jim Feamster,
Coach: Henry Iba LAST YEAR: Won 2, lost 12; 4- 21 overall, seventh. HIGH GREATER.
11.8 points per game.
T O P REBOUNDER: J i m
Feamster: 145 rebounds.
THIS SEASON: For more than a quarter of a century, coach Henry Iba's teams have ranked near the top of the nation in team defense. He has coached his teams to many victories and is presently runnerup to Adolph Rupp of Kentucky among the winningest active coaches in the nation.

1. Um...uh...now that we know each other a little, I was wondering if, uh, you think I'm the type of guy you could go for?
I could go for a real swinger.
3. I know some daring chess openings.
I want a man who's making it happen.
2. I have an exciting pipe collection.
I want to be where the action is.
5. I spend a lot of time in the library.
My motto is fun today and fun tomorrow.
4. I read all about it in The New York Times.
I want to do 'in' things with 'in' people in 'in' places.
6. Then I guess you wouldn't be interested in someone like me who has landed a good-paying job that will let his family live well and who, in addition, has taken out a substantial Living Insurance policy from Equitable that will provide handsomely for his family if, heaven forbid, anything should happen to him.
How's about showing me that pipe collection, swinger?
