North-South exhibition to be loaded with talent
Bu Ron Hanson
Twenty of the nation's top basketball players will be assembled this Saturday in Wichita to play in the first annual North-South All-Star game. The contest will begin at 8 p.m. in Wichita State University's Round House.
Coaching for the North team will be KU's own Ted Owens while the coach of the South's All-Stars will be Gary Thompson, head coach at Wichita State University. This will be Owens' last opportunity to coach his two all-conference players, Walt Wesley and Delvy Lewis, as both have been selected to the North team.
OWENS HAS no reservations in praising the members of his team as he said, "We have good height in Wesley, 6-11, Erwin Mueller, 6-8, from San Francisco; Chuck Gardner, 6-7, Colorado; Lou Hudson, 6-5, Minnesota, and Stan McKenzie, 6-5, New York University."
He continued, "Kids such as Wagnon (Dave, Idabo), Bing (Dave, Syracuse), Chambers (Jerry, Utah), Numelka (Dick, Brigham Young), and Wesley can all get points as can all the other members of the team."
Wagnon, Chambers, and Bing are great scorers who averaged 32.5, 28.3 and 38.4 points per game respectively. Wagnon missed the national scoring championship by two percentage points and is considered a threat both inside or from far out.
Sigma Chi's capture title in volleyball
The intramural volleyball season came to a close last night with Sigma Chi winning the title of Hill champions.
Earlier the Law's had caused an upset by defeating the reigning Hill champions, Thunderballs, in the Independent A final, but they were outplayed by Sigma Chi in the playoff.
THE FRATERNITY A semifinal saw Delta Tau Delta matched against Sigma Chi. The latter team won and then went on to take the Hill championship.
The B league Hill championship saw Beta Theta Pi emerge triumphant over the Old Timers. The Betas had beaten Sigma Chi to win the Fraternity B league, and the Old Timers had downed the Red Dogs in taking the Independent B title.
There was no Independent C league, and consequently no playoff. But Fraternity C held both their semifinals and finals yesterday. Beta #1 won the league championship, defeating Phi Delta Theta #1 in the finals. Phi Gamma Delta had two teams in the semi-finals, but both lost, #1 to the Betas and #2 to the Phi Delts.

The Jays came from beind to take their match against Rockhurst, 7-2.
OWENS WAS selected the coach of the North on the basis of his outstanding record as a coach and particularly on the merit of this year's Jayhawk Big Eight championship season. Only the fifth coach in KU's 66-year basketball history, Owens has a two year record of 40-12 as head coach.
His greatest reign as a coach was at Cameron State of Lawton, Okla., a junior college, during 1956-1959 when his teams had an overall record of 93-24 and he produced at least one all-America player each season. His 1958 club was the first team in the National Juco tourney to enter that meet unbeaten, stringing together 27 straight victories before topping in the semi-finals.
Last year, after succeeding Dick Harp as head coach at KU, Owens guided the Jayhawks to a second place finish in the Big Eight with a record of 9-5. Overall the 1965 Jayhawks had a 17-8 mark.
they lost by a hair-breath, 81- 80, to the eventual NCAA national champions, Texas Western University.
THIS YEAR, Owens coached KU to a 13-1 conference season and the championship. In all games, the Jayhawks were 23-4 and advanced to the finals of the midwest NCAA regional where
Concerning the game Saturday and his opposition, Owens said, "I've seen most of those boys play (South), and I know they are good. They're a strong rebounding group and we'll have to be hitting that first shot."
Gary Thompson's players for the South are: James Ware, Oklahoma City; Duba Malaise, Texas Tech; Julian Hammond, Tulsa; Don Roffles, Cincinnati; Rich Parks, St. Louis; Kelly Pete, Wichita State; Carroll Hoosier, Southern Methodist; Orstin Artis, Texas Western, and Doug McKintosh, U.C.L.A.
Owens was particularly impressed with the play of Ware as he said, "That Ware led the nation in rebounds with 20.9 per game and I understand that he scored around 17 points a game—that's a pretty fair ballplayer."
