Jayhawks could win一

Continued from page 1 their only national championship. B H. Born, like Lovellele a near seven-foot center, sparked KU to a second place standing in 1954, and Wilt Chamberlain — another one-man show—took the Hawks to second place again in 1957. KU lost the finals that year to Kentucky, which is the current top-ranked team.
Although this year's team has All-America Walt Wesley, its greatness seems to rest on the outstanding ability of all players. The entire starting line-up—Wesley, White, Delvy Lewis, Al Lopes, and Ron Franz — plus reserve Rodger Bohnestiehl received all-conference honors, with both Wesley and Lewis named to the first team.
KU'S VICTORY over the Wild-cats was not unexpected. Neither was the low-scoring outcome a surprise as the Jayhawks had to fight tooth and nail to down the struggling Cats.
Owens predicted it last week before the game when he said, "There's going to be a terrific struggle over at Manhattan Saturday night." He was referring to the "do or die" situation the Jayhawks had placed themselves into in order to win the Big Eight crown, and how an arch-enemy like K-State would be up, as always, to knock the feet out from under KU's title hopes.
K-State had the advantage of playing on their home court, Ahearn Field House, where the Jayhawks hadn't beaten them since 1960. In addition, Kansas, to win, had to accomplish something never before pulled off by either of the state rivals, to sweep three games over the other in regular season play.
But, the Jayhawks did it, their overall power and strength being too much for the scrappling Wildcats.

Hawks swim to 2nd place in Big 8 meet
KU swimmers placed second in the Big Eight Swimming Championships at Norman, Okla., last weekend as they rolled up 81 points, a total topped only by Oklahoma which had 134.
Third place in the meet went to Nebraska with 76 points followed by Iowa State, 72. Kansas State, 49, Oklahoma State, 31, Colorado, 12, and Missouri, 6.
THE JAYHAWKS won four first place finishes in the meet with nationally prominent, Don Pennington, Prairie Village juniion, winning three of them.
Pennington will now receive a bid to compete in the national swimming championships the last week in March according to head swimming coach, Dick Reamon.
In winning his three events, Pennington set three national qualifying records in the 500 yard freestyle, 400 individual medley, and 1,650 yard freestyle. His most impressive time was in the 1,630 freestyle which he swam in 17:21. This is 11 seconds under the official national qualifying record.
KU's other first place at the meet went to Hugh Minor, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore, as he set a meet record in the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 55.1.
Reamon, who was visibly impressed with his team's showing, said, "I thought we did a real good job—even better than the score indicated."
This was the last meet of the year for the Jayhawk swimmers.
first half to shake off its jitters and break 100e of K-State's sticky defense. The game turned, quite suddenly, with five minutes left in the first half when sub artist Rodger Bohnenstiel entered. In two minutes, he rammed in six straight points. From a 23-21 deficit the Jayhawks ripped to a 27-23 edge.
KU was comfortably on top. 35-27 at halftime and the margin grew to 19 late in the second half.
This was the beginning of the end. In the last five minutes of the half, KU outscored the Wildcats 14-4, connecting on six of eight shots. K-State, in the meantime, could hit only two of nine and twice turned the ball over on errors.
KU's superiority was reflected in the statistics. It hit 41 per cent from the field to K-State's 35. It had a 47-37 rebounding edge and it made two less turnovers, 16-14.
Lopes, continuing his late season splurge, had 10 rebounds to go with his 19 points. Walt Wesley, closely patrolled by Roy Smith, was held to 15 points but contributed 12 rebounds. Bohnenstiehl had 12 points, eight rebounds. Dennis Berkholtz, K-State guard, led the Wildcats with 14 points.
THE TRIUMPH WAS KU's eighth in a row. K-State now stands 13-11 overall and 8-5 in conference play, good for the third place spot in the Big Eight.
KU can wrap up the Big Eight crown with a victory over the Buffs. If they should lose, however, and Nebraska would defeat the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Lincoln, then the Hawks would find themselves in a first place tie with the Huskers again, which would call for the pre-arranged conference play-off at Manhattan on Wednesday.
Kansas had to come from behind to whip the Buffaloes in their
previous meeting this year. At Boulder in the opening game of the conference season, Kansas was behind the Buffs 21-23 at halftime, but took command quickly in the second half behind an eight point flurry by reserve Bohnesthl and won going away, 69-55.
MAKING THEIR last appearance on the Allen Field House court tonight are these five seniors:
- Walt Wesley - 6-foot-11 All-America center who needs 15 points tonight for his second conference scoring crown. "Big Doe," certain to play professionally, may be the best outside shooter for a big man in the recent history of the game.
- Delvy Lewis—All-conference guard, noted for his superb ball-handling and court leadership. Especially tough in a clutch situation, Ted Owens calls Lewis "the kind of boy who picks up the coaches."
- A1 Lopes—All-conference forward, a continual hustler who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Lopes played guard earlier in the year,
and seems equally effective at either position. Another sure bet for a professional bid, Lopes is one of KU's most exciting players.
- Riney Lochmann—forward, whose unselfish attitude is one big reason KU is a superior team this year. Lochmann was a starter his first two years, but has played most of his games as a top reserve this season. Another key player at a crucial moment, Owens says he considers Lochmann "the sixth member of the starting squad." Lochmann won the Most Valuable Player award at the Big Eight pre-season tournament last year.
- Fred Chana—forward and guard, another prime reason for KU's excellent reserve strength. Chana was a starter at forward for the Jayhawks last year, now is a No. 1 guard replacement. Chana scored three school and conference record-breaking baskets with his play against Nebraska at Lawrence.
