Jayhawk Cage Aide Knows Lobos Well
It isn't often a basketball coach knows the opposing club better than his own. But that is the situation ahead of Kansas' home opener here tonight against New Mexico.
Ted Owens' first assistant, Sam Miranda, joined the Jayhawk staff last summer following two years as Bob King's aide at Albuquerque. In his new role, the former Indiana guard must try to whip a crop of high talent he helped recruit as coach for the Lobos.
One advantage in this type of switch is that Kansas will have a pre-tailored scouting report. One trouble, in this case, is that it won't make very good reading for Jayhawk fans, who are anxious for the new regime to break fast out of the starting gate.
Bob Zarr, F, 6-8—"Tremendous size at 6 and 250. This makes him hard to position on. Good jumper who is fairly good on boards."
HERE'S Miranda's rundown on the Lobos' probable starters—
Ben Monroe, F. 6-3—"Fine basketball player. Quick. fast. Good left-hand shooter. Fast. jumper."
Mel Daniels, C. 6-9-"Juco grad I never have seen, but people who know basketball say he is potentially better than Harge (Ira, second-team All-American center of a year age). I understand he moves better and is just as good a jumper."
SKIP KRUZICH, G. 6-1—"Very similar to our Del Lewis. Fine shooter, Led Western conference in field goal percentage shooting a year ago and was an 85 per cent free-throw. Two-time all-conference."
Dick Ellis, G, 6-3. "Best 6-3 player in country. Quick, and a fine shooter. Great jumper who can go just as high as he has to get the ball. Great defensive player. Pro scouts say he's as good as Hazzard (Walt, UCLA Olympian)."
"They are a well-disciplined team. They try not to beat themselves. They play a man-for-man defense and a high-low post. If they have a disadvantage it is that they are a young team, lacking game experience."
"As you can see by this they have a lot of talent," Miranda continues. "They have fine reserve strength too in three sophomores, Bill Morgan (6-7); Ed Burwitz (6-6); and Don Hoover (6-1), plus a junior, Jim Howard.

KRUZICH AND Ellis are returns from the best club in Lobo history last winter. This unit tied Arizona State for the Western conference title at 7-3 and posted a 23-6 overall en route to a runner-up finish to Bradley in the NIT.
1807 Vermont VI 3-5353
Zarr scored only three points in last year's meeting, first between the two clubs. But they furnished the decisive lick as the huge pivot canned a jump-turn off an out of bounds play in the final 30 seconds then chipped a free throw when fouled by Walt Wesley on the shot. This pulled New Mexico out of a precarious 56-54 lead as Kansas crowded in the stretch.
Zarr also combined with Harge to restrict George Unseld, KU's all-league center, to six points. Unseld won't get a return shot here since he dropped from the squad last week. Ellis scored 13 points in the 59-54 triumph at Albuquerque; Kuzich six.
Tonight's match will be New Mexico's first appearance here. The Loops opened against Colorado College at home Tuesday night while Owens was launching his varsity debut at Arkansas.
