Walt Stands Tall In All-Big 8 Team
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UPI)—Mighty Walt Wesley, Kansas' record scoring machine, dominated the 1965 All-Big Eight Conference basketball team announced Thursday by United Press International.
Wesley, a 6-foot-11 pivot who shattered two league scoring marks, was the lone unanimous choice in all-star ballots cast by sportswriters and sportsbroadcasters in the conference area.
THE JAYHAWK junior also was a near unanimous choice as the league's Player of the Year.
Oklahoma State coach Hank Iba, who guided the U.S. Olympic basketball team to a world championship at the Tokyo games last fall, was voted Coach of the Year.
Iba's veteran Cowboys, who finished 12-2 in the conference and 19-6 for the season, enter the NCAA Midwest Regional at Manhattan Friday night against University of Houston.
IT WAS OKLAHOMA STATE'S first Big Eight basketball championship since joining the conference in 1958. Missouri coach Bob Vanatta and Ted Owens of Kansas deadlocked for second in coaching honors.
Others besides Wesley named to the all-star squad were Colorado's Chuck Gardner and Pat Frink, Oklahoma State's Jim King and George Flamank of Missouri.
Frink was the only sophomore on the squad while Wesley and Gardner are juniors. Flamank and King are both seniors.
Wesley set a new Big Eight scoring mark of 377 points in a single season and established a field goal record with 150 baskets from the floor.
THE OLD SCORING record of 363 points was set by former Kansas State star Bob Boozer in 1959. Ex-Kansan Clyde Lovellette established the former field goal mark of 339 in 1951.
As a team the all-star squad stood 6-foot-6 and averaged 14.4 points per contest. Wesley's 26.9 average was followed by Gardner's 16.4 mark, Frink at 15.0. King at 13.9 and Flamanker's 12.6.
Flamank was the loop's top rebounder with an average of 12.1 grabs per contest while King was regarded as one of the conference's top defensive stalwarts.
LARRY HAWK, Oklahoma State's veteran guard and two-time all-conference selection, failed to land a third consecutive all-star birth by a narrow margin in favor of Flamank.
Hawk and Oklahoma pivot Jim Gatewood were solid second team choices along with Missouri guard Gary Garner. Other second team berths went to Hawk's teammate Gary Hassmann and Bob Ziegler of Iowa State.
All except Ziegler, a junior, are seniors on the second squad. Ziegler's 19.3 average, second only to Wesley in league competition, topped the second team scorers who averaged 74.5 per game.
Hassmann edged Missouri's Ned Monsees and Iowa State's Al Koch for second team honors.
