Kansas University will be staging the NCAA midwest regional basketball tournament for the sixth time in 12 years when that
four-tone event moves into Allen Field House next March 17-18.

DAILY sports KANSAN 1966 season tab sales miss record
With Kansas' opening football game this Saturday the Jayhawks are almost sure of their second best public season ticket sale in history.
Monte Johnson, assistant KU athletic director, reported at the end of business last week that 10.365 season tickets have been sold to the general public.
The record sale of 12,041 came in 1964 and the second highest figure was 10,756 last year.
"We won't be able to hit that record," Johnson said, "but I'd say we're almost a cinch to have our second best season ticket sale."
AN ADDITION of 6.500 choice seats on the east side of Memorial Stadium with the expansion project now nearing completion will increase its capacity to 51,500.
Johnson figures that "close to 25,000" seats will be filled by season ticket-holders, students, faculty and staff members.
Kansas plays only four home
games this season, but Johnson pointed to the quality of the schedule in noting the excellent season ticket sale in the face of the Jayhawks' losing season a year ago.
KU opens at home Sept. 17 against Texas Tech, a Gator Bowl participant last season. The other three dates are with highly regarded Big Eight opponents—Oklahoma, Oct. 15; Nebraska, Nov. 5, and Colorado, Nov. 12.
host the midwest regional. The other regional sites are Maryland, Northwestern and Oregon State. The finals will be at Louisville, Ky., March 24-25.
Kansas previously staged the midwest regional in 1956, 1958, 1959, 1961 and 1963, but on none of those occasions were the Jayhawks in the field.
In four of the five regionals at Lawrence the Big Eight delegate was rival Kansas State. Colorado carried the conference's banner when the event was last held here in 1963.
This apparent jinx also has dogged the K-Staters, who have been hosts for five midwest regionals but never had their own team as a participant.
In view of the fact the two Kansas schools have represented their league in post-season basketball play 13 of the past 19 years and have staged a total of 10 regionals, it is ironic one has never made the grade to its own regional.

Cupid strikes NU gridders
And you can give a tip of the hat to Dan Cupid.
Nebraska's 1966 football Cornhuskers already have established a new record, even though the season doesn't open until Sept. 17 against Texas Christian.
All told, there are 15 married players on the current Husker club, a new entry in the record
book.
Cupid apparently worked overtime during the summer because a record total of 10 Cornhuskers went down the aisle during vacation.
The "Old Man" of the homebody set—and the only pappy, with a five-and-a-half month old son—is linebacking star Lynn Senkebel.

CORNHUSKERS
New moneymaker
If they wanted to, Nebraska University athletic department officials may have found a new source of income for financing athletic events—selling reserved seats on the south banks of the football practice field.
Since the opening of fall drills from 50 to 75 people have rested beneath the elm trees that line the slopes near the Columns on the City campus to watch Coach Bob Devaney send his team through rigorous training for the approaching season.
The area has taken a picnic atmosphere. One mother brought her children, a lawn chair and assorted snacks and camped on the grass until practice was over.
"I just love football and like to watch the Huskers any time," said one elderly man who brought his grandson. "I've followed the Cornhuskers for years."
"I get anxious for the season to start in August and watching the boys in practice helps me during the next two weeks until the first game," said a university student.
At thirty minutes past the hour,
when the carillon tower chimes its hourly song, football fever reaches its peak.
"The state sure takes pride in its football team, doesn't it?" said Borgialli, the university wrestling coach, as he looked at the crowd that lined the banks of the field.
A man with binoculars checking numbers with those in his Cornhusker football brochure, a woman with packages from shopping downtown watching the Huskers run plays, a couple of fans pointing to the nearly-completed addition to Memorial Stadium . . . all members of the Big Red family waiting for the Cornhuskers to open the 1966 season with Texas Christian on Sept. 17.
