Teams, fans await big game
By Ron Hanson
Tomorrow night in Allen Field House, a giant step will be taken in determining the Big Eight basketball champion for 1966. Kansas will play Nebraska in a game that has received as much attention as any in several years at KU.
The first place Cornhuskers, 18-3 for the season and 10-0 in league play, will meet KU for the third time this season. The Jayhawks defeated NU in the finals of the Big Eight Pre-Sea Tourney at Kansas City, 71-61. Later, before a packed house at Lincoln, Neb., coach Joe Cipriano's team edged KU, 83-75.
SECOND place KU is 19-3 overall and 10-1 in the conference and ranked fifth in the nation in the United Press International poll, and sixth by the Associated Press. Nebraska is eighth in the AP rankings and tenth in the UPI ratings.
Grant Simmons, Nebraska guard, is leading the scoring for the Cornhuskers with a 14.5 points per game average. Forward Tom Baack is just behind Simmons with a 14.2 average. Rounding out the top NU scorers and starting lineup are: forward, Nate
Branch; guard, Willie Campbell; and center, Stuart Lantz.
According to Cipriano these men are aggressive and fast and not primarily point makers. Nebraska will bring a team field goal percentage of 44 per cent to KU as all of the top seven players have over 40 percent scoring averages.
CIPRIANO has left no doubt that his Huskers are ready to knock off KU as he said, "We'll feel 100 per cent against Kansas."
This crucial game for both teams might see a change in the Jayhawk starting lineup as KU coach, Ted Owens, has announced that Riney Lochmann might start
in place of Ron Franz at forward.
in place of Ron Franz at forward. In the Jayhawks last tilt against Oklahoma, Lochmann played one of his best games, scoring nine points and gathering as many rebounds while Franz sat out much of the game on the bench with foul difficulties.
THE REST OF the lineup will remain the same for KU with Walt Wesley at center; Al Lopes, forward; and Del Lewis and Jo-Jo White, guards.
Seemingly unworried about the Jayhawks mental attitude, Owens said, "Our boys know Nebraska has a fine basketball team."
ference games for an average of 21.5. His total for the season is 465 points and in his career at KU he has scored 1,221 counters. This total ranks him third on the list of Jayhawk all-time scorers.
The game is to start at 8 p.m. with pre-game color guard ceremonies appearing to highlight the event. A sellout crowd of 17,000 is expected even though the game will be shown on a state-wide television hookup.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - (UPI) — Lanky Jim Ryun will gun for the season's first sub-four-minute mile tonight at the opening of the 38th annual Big Eight indoor track and field championships.
THE KANSAS FRESHMAN is almost a shoo-in for his sixth consecutive win of the current indoor campaign.
Ryum, the nation's top-ranking miler, is also part of an added attraction to this year's meet, which for the first time permits
Big Eight freshman competition.
IF THE 18-YEAR-OLD speedster is to crack the four-minute barrier he'll have to do it on his own. The competition tonight will be less potent than last weekend when he edged veteran Jim Grelle in the New York Athletic Club's Baxter Mile. Ryun's best indoor time of the season is 4:01.4.
FINALS in the four fresh events 60-yard dash, 60-yard high hurdles, 600-yard run and mile run—and the varsity broad jump are scheduled for tonight.
Inter-league play-offs will take place Monday and Tuesday. The winners of the Independent A and Fraternity A leagues will meet Monday to decide the Hill champions for the 1965-66 season.
On Tuesday the Independent B and C winners will play the Fraternity B and C winners, to decide the champions for each league.
