Jayhawks Win Opener, 65-60
By Russ Corbitt (Sports Editor)
Despite a frigid start, KU overcame a 14-point deficit to roar back and give basketball coach Ted Owens a 65-60 victory over Arkansas at Fayetteville last night, in his first game at the Jayhawk helm.

KU swept the first five places for a perfect 15 points to win the Big Eight conference's freshman postal cross country meet, according to standings released today.
The Jayhawks were paced by Gene McClain, who won the individual title with a time of 9:11.3 for the two miles. Following in order were Dave Mansfield, Rick Jamison, Jim Smith and Curtis Grindal. Only about 25 seconds separated McClain and Grindal.
Coach Bob Timmons' other two runners, Allen Russell and Mike Hayes, finished 18th and 20th, respectively.
Annexing the next three places, Missouri finished second with 47 points. Colorado was third with 78 Kansas State fourth with 96, and Iowa State fifth with 135. Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Nebraska did not file team entries.
Missouri's Terry Thompson was six seconds back of Grindal to take sixth with a 9:43.3. In all, 13 runners toured the distance in less than ten minutes.
By winning the freshman title, KU thus monopolized fall track honors in the Big Eight. The varsity team won the conference cross country championships at Manhattan early in November.

JANUARY
ARKANSAS, the underdog in the game, came out blazing hot and jumped off to leads of 6-1 and 8-2 before Del Lewis hit a 25-footer for the Jayhawks' first field goal.
The Porkers continued to mount their lead over the jittery Jayhawks, as Steve Rousseau, the game's high scorer with 20 points, began his hot evening. Arkansas held leads of 15-5 and 25-11 before the Jayhawks found the range.

KU narrowed the margin to 25-18 on field goals by Walt Wesley, Dave Schichtle and Riney Lochmann, and a free throw by Schichtle.
Lewis stole the ball and went in for a two-pointer to narrow the Razorbacks' lead to 28-23
just before Chana entered the game.
CHANA, a reserve who saw little action last season, then hit two quick field goals, which together with Lochmann's free throw and field goal knotted the score for the first time at 30-30. Chana's third basket then gave the Jayhawks the 32-30 half-time lead.
The lead see-sawed in the second half, with Lewis keeping KU close by connecting on long jump shots. Lewis scored 10 points in the second period to give him KU's top honors with 14.
Wesley picked up his fifth foul with about nine minutes remaining in the game, and left with 11 points and the score knotted, 49-49.
THE JAYHAWKS lost starting forward Ron Franz on fouls with about six minutes remaining. The 6-7 sophomore contributed seven points in his first varsity game before leaving with KU holding a 55-49 edge.
Lochmann and Lewis each connected on long jump shots to give KU its biggest lead, 59-50.
three free throws by Jim Gough and one by Al Lopes rounded out the KU scoring and provided the victory margin. Gough, who spelled Wesley during the first half and took over when the starting center fouled out, hit six of eight charity tosses.
Another 25-footer by Lewis.
LEWIS' 14-point output was followed by Lochmann and Wesley with 11 each. Franz and Lopes each contributed seven, and Gough and Chana had six each. Schichtle had three to round out the KU scoring.
Rousseau, only 5-10 and a National Merit Scholar, was not a great point-producer last season. But the little guard and his 20 points provided most of the potency of the Arkansas attack last night.
