Colorado Golden Buffaloes Are Jayhawks Next Big Job
By Glen Phillips Sports Editor
KU coach Ted Owens predicts "a real struggle" tonight when the Jayhawks take the floor against the Golden Buffaloes in a decisive contest in the Big Eight conference title race.
The 'Buffs have suffered two straight defeats in conference play.
The last, to the Kansas State Wildcats Saturday, virtually dropped them from any contention for the title. However, the Colorado squad is still out to knock the Jayhawks off in the race.
The Jayhawks, now 8-4 for conference play, will be looking for their third straight victory on the home boards in Allen Field House.
Late Points Lead KU To A Big 8 Second
The Missouri Tigers performed as had been predicted and came through to take their second straight Big Eight conference indoor track championship Saturday night in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium.
As a sell-out crowd of more than 9,000 looked on, MU, sparked by Robin Lingle, packed away enough points to ease past their nearest competitor, KU.
The Tigers totaled 52 points, with the second-place Jayhawks piling up an unexpected 47. Nebraska was third with 26, followed by Oklahoma State 25, Kansas State and Oklahoma 18, Colorado 16, and Iowa State 8.
Missouri took six first places. Robin Lingle was both a double-event winner and the only athlete to shatter any records with his performance. He turned in a 2:08.0 in the 1,000-yard run to break his own mark of 2:08.9 set last year and overshadow the mark of 2:11.6 set in 1959 by Cliff Cushman of KU.
KU's Herald Hadley fought Lingle for the win in the 1,000 but the pace proved to be too much and Hadley finished ten yards behind the fleet Tiger. The two had previously met in the mile run, where Lingle was also victorious. Lingle took the lead in the ninth lap of the race and successfully fought off a first-place bid by Hadley. Lingle finished with a 4:08.9 and Hadley came in third behind Tom Van Ruden of Oklahoma State.
KU was considered to be out of the competition when 12 of the 14 events had been run but the Jayhawks turned in stellar performances in the last two events to grab 10 points while Mizzou took none.
KU has dropped the Kansas State Wildcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers in their early meetings.
OWEN'S SAID the 'Buffs are one of the most dangerous shooting teams in the conference. They downed the Jayhawks by two points at Boulder in the first Big Eight meeting between the clubs.
"Both clubs have undoubtedly improved," Owens said, "but there is no way we can know how much until tomorrow night... All other things being equal, the home court could make a difference."
Walt Wesley will have his work cut out for him as he goes against Chuck Gardner, powerful center for the Buffaloos. Gardner is considered by some to be the second best center in the conference after Wesley. In the earlier meeting between KU and CU at Boulder, Gardner was able to sink 20 points through Wesley's defense. In defensive play, Gardner hauled down more rebounds than Wesley.
KU's pivot man needs only 38 points to crack Boozer's total point league record and a "mere" 10 field goals to break Jayhawk Clyde Lovellette's record of 139. Wesley has scored 326 points in 12 conference games for a 27.2 point game average. He has dropped in a total of 536 points in all 23 games for a 23.3 season average.
OWENS EXPECTED no particular defensive strategy from the Colorado club. He noted that they often mix a man-to-man with a zone type of defence. The CU squad usually does not press the ball-handlers downcourt although they have done it in some games.
Owens said he would probably go with the same starting line-up he has used in the last two games. It includes Lewis and Schichtle at guards, Lochmann and Lopes at forward, and Wesley at pivot.
