10th ranked Oklahoma meets top-rate offense
The nation's tenth ranked team, Oklahoma, is a 10-point favorite over KU Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Leading the Sooners' defense is middle guard Granville Liggins.
The 5-11, 210-pound junior is rated the team's top lineman. Coach Jim Mackenzie says Liggins can become the best nose guard he's ever been associated with.
Nevertheless, Oklahoma will be matched against the Big Eight's No. 1 rushing offense. KU has averaged 188.5 yards per game. Liggins' first assignment will probably be to stop KU halfback Don Shanklin.
The Amarillo, Tex., sophomore is the Big Eight's second leading rusher. In four games, Shanklin has gained 400 yards in 77 attempts for a 5.2 average, only 45 yards behind leader Cornelius Davis of Kansas State.
Basketball practices will start Saturday
KU basketball coach Ted Owens will greet 14 players at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Allen Field House when the defending Big Eight champions open practice drills.
Now in his third year, Owens guided the Jayhawkers to their first conference title in nine years with a 24-3 record. KU went to the finals of the midwest regional before losing to eventual NCAA champion Texas Western, 81-80, in two overtimes.
SENIORS INCLUDE two-year forward Ron Franz, 6-7, Kansas City; Bob Wilson, 6-7 forward, St. Louis; and Pat Davis, 6-2 guard, Topeka.
Juniors are Rodger Bohnenstiehl, 6-6, Collinsville, Ill.; Roger Harris, 6-8, Lawrence; and George Yarnevich, 6-5, Kansas City.
This season's team has three seniors, three juniors and eight sophomores, all of whom show a lot of potential according to Owens.
TOP SOPHOMORE is Jo Jo White, 6-3, St. Louis. He played nine games last season after joining the varsity at mid-semester. Other sophomores include Howard Arndt, 6-7, Republic, Mo.; Jaye Ediger, 6-5, Hutchinson; Phil Harmon, 6-4, Tulsa, Okla.; Bruce Sloan, 6-5, Kansas City; Rich Thomas, 6-2, Dietrich, Ill.; Vernon Vanoy, 6-8, Kansas City; and Ron Lang, 6-4, Leavenworth.
Lang was termed a "hairship case" last season by Big Eight officials after undergoing brain surgery just before Christmas. A member of the varsity squad at the beginning of the season, Lang, fully recuperated, will have three years of varsity eligibility remaining.
Missing from last season is All-America center, Walter Wesley, who averaged 20.7 points per game and is now a rookie member of the Cincinnati Royals, Teammate Al Lopes, who scored 12.2 points per game, playmaker Del Lewis, and forward Riney Lochmann, are gone also.
