Kansas still streaking toward clash with NU
By Ron Hanson
KU's victory over the University of Oklahoma last night sets the stage for the league showdown in Lawrence Saturday night as Kansas meets Nebraska.
By defeating the Sooners, the Jayhawks remain in second place in the Big Eight Conference, one half game behind Nebraska.
FOR THE SECOND time this season, KU's half-court press proved to be too much for Oklahoma as the Jayhawks routedOU, 86-69 in Norman, Okla., last night.
The Oklahoma game followed KU's familiar pattern of tight defense, aggressive rebounding, and hot shooting as the Jayhawks completely nullified a good team effort by the Sooners.
In the opening minutes the game was close as KU led by only 16-15 after the first seven minutes of play. At this stage the Jayhawk outlook seemed even dimmer as KU's high scoring Walt Wesley had to be lifted because he had three fouls.
THE SITUATION changed quickly as Wesley's substitute,
Roger Bohnenstiel, entered the game and at the same time the Jayhawk half-court press started to work. Bohnenstiel scored six quick points and the press caused the Sooners to lose the ball six times. This led to a KU lead at half of 42-27.
Following intermission, with Wesley and Al Lopes leading the way, KU played steady basketball, keeping the explosive Oklahoma fast break under control most of the time.
Lopes scored the most points he has ever made at KU as he led the Jayhawks with 23 counters. All-America candidate, Wesley, had 21 points, with 16 of them coming in the second half. High for the Sooners was sophomore center, Don Sidle, who connected for 25 points.
ASSISTANT KU coach, Sam Miranda, said, "We didn't play as good as we have this season, but we looked good at times. Lopes played the best all-round game ever at KU."
For the game KU shot 46 per cent from the field to OU's 38 per cent.

Picture yourself as a Western Electric engineer. What might you be doing?
As a MANUFACTURING ENGINEER you'd work closely with Bell Telephone Laboratory engineers on the latest concepts in communications systems. It would be your job to work out production techniques for these systems, which might mean developing special tools, machines, or test equipment. You would have the opportunity of guiding products from their final development to the point where they roll off the production line.
As an INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER your work would be more closely related to the search for new ideas to reduce the cost of currently manufactured products, to improve their quality or make the job easier. Many of the Industrial Engineer's problems relate to human engineering as well as to operations research and the establishment of wage incentive rates.
As a SYSTEMS EQUIPMENT ENGINEER youd really know how a communications system operates, because you'd have built it on paper before it was manufactured and installed. After one of your systems had been installed, you'd be held accountable for its performance and compatibility with existing systems.
development, testing, production, delivery, and assistance to the military in the operation and maintenance of complex military systems. Systems applications range from the ocean depths to outer space. You could expect a wide variety of engineering assignments in many diverse fields.
The challenges are big at Western Electric - and so are the opportunities. Now is the time to investigate them. Be sure to talk to the Western Electric people on the Bell System recruiting team when they visit your campus.
