Hawks favored by 12 to defeat Cats By JERRY KLEIN Assistant Sports Editor If the number 7 is really lucky, this is Kansas State coach Doug Weaver's big chance. For the past six years, his teams have tried but not succeeded, not even scored. WEAVER WILL gamble for the seventh time Saturday when Kansas State hosts KU in the 65th meeting between the intra-state rivals. Kickoff at their Memorial Stadium is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Unless K-State defeats KU, which is favored by 12 points. Weaver will tie one of his records—an 18-game losing streak. Since the ninth game of the 1964 season, the Wildcats have not won a Big Eight game. Weaver's six lean years have produced only four of 48 conference victories. AT THE SAME time, the Jayhawkers hold an edge in the series. Since 1960, Weaver's first year as head coach, KU has held K-State scoreless while scoring 188 points. Except for 1910 when no game was played, KU leads in the series—43-17-2—dating back to 1902. Despite three successive losses, 1953-55, the Jayhawkers have defeated K-State 18 of 21 times since World War II. The last K-State victory was a 46-0 win in 1955 at Lawrence. AFTER yesterday's hour-and-a-half practice session, KU coach Jack Mitchell termed the game as "usually being a pretty good game." He is primarily concerned with three K-State offensive players—halfback Cornelius Davis, quarterback Bill Nossek, and end Dave Jones. In the Wildcat's 28-14 loss to Cincinnati last weekend, Davis, the nation's fourth leading rusher, gained 172 yards, his third 100-yard game of the season. AVERAGING 6.2 yards per carry, the Wildcat speedster has picked up 659 yards in 107 carries. He is 115 yards behind the nation's leader, Don Fitzgerald of Kent State, Kent, Ohio. "We will adjust our defense when Davis runs," says George Harvey, KU limebacker. "We are very conscious of him, especially when he runs that inside trap play. He broke for long runs against Army (89 yards) and Cincinnati. With his good size and speed we will have to watch when he runs the option play with the quarterback." KU COACH Tom Triplett, who scouted K-State against Cincinnati, agrees with Harvey. "Davis, who is a good starter from the line of scrimmage, is strong and has the speed to break away." Triplett said the Wildcats have the best offense they have had in "quite awhile." "They keep the ball better thus controlling the game offensively. It makes them a dangerous ball club," Triplett added. QUARTERBACK Nossek, a sprint-out passer, has completed. Chamberlain to wear brace 22 of 51 passes for 380 yards for an average of 43 per cent and 17.3 yards per pass. PHILADELPHIA — (UPI) — Doctors ordered Philadelphia 76er star Wilt Chamberlain, who played for KU in the late 50's. Thursday to wear a brace on his right knee when he plays in Saturday night's game against Boston. Chamberlain injured the knee when teammate Wally Jones ran into him in the 76er's season opener. His favorite target, Jones, has set a school record by gaining 392 yards, the Big Eight lead in pass receiving yardage. He has caught 20 passes and is second to the leader, Iowa State's Eppie Barnev, who has made 29 receptions. With KU quarterback Bob Skahan out for the season with torn ligaments, Mitchell says he will start 202-pound Bob Douglass, El Dorado sophomore. In reserve is David Bouda, 198-pound Omaha junior. KU'S MATCH to Davis is sophomore Don Shanklin. The Amarillo, Tex., halfback is tenth in the nation and second to Davis in the Big Eight. He has gained 522 yards in 111 plays for a 4.7 average. According to statistics released by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau, Shanklin is No. 2 in a new statistical category—all purpose running. Including rushing, pass receiving, and kick returns Shanklin has gained 931 yards in 143 plays. The national leader, Frank Quaule of Virginia, leads with 914 yards. THE JAYHAWKERS have a national leader in Dave Morgan. The Wauwatosa, Wis., sophomore leads in punting with a 44-yard average on 24 kicks. The varsity team will leave here at noon today and travel by bus to Manhattan to view the freshman game. The freshmen will be out to avenge their opening 28-13 loss to Oklahoma State.
