KU used its overwhelming height and great scoring ability to defeat Missouri 77-54 in a Big Eight Conference basketball game at Columbia, Mo., Saturday night.
Hawks Down Tigers
By Ron Hanson
Playing its first game in two weeks, KU overpowered smaller Missouri in the second half by outscoring them 41-26 in that stanza. Even more impressive than the Jayhawks 35 per cent shooting accuracy was their 46-23 rebounding edge over the Tigers. Walt Wesley and Ron Franz led KU in rebounding with 15 and 12 respectively.
THE VICTORY increased KU's league record to 6-1 and kept the Jayhawks one-half game behind undefeated Nebraska, which beat Oklahoma State 45-14 in Stillwater. Okla. Saturday.
Scoring for KU was evenly divided with five players getting eight or more points. Wesley led the team with 18 points, most of them coming near the end of the first half, and became the third all time scorer in KU's history.
Still ranking behind KU all-Americas, Clyde Lovellette who had 1,979 career points and Wilt Chamberlain who racked up 1.433 varsity counters, Wesley passed former Jayhawk all-conference forward, Wayne Hightower, who totaled 1.128 career points.
Other leading scorers for KU in the Missouri game were Ron Franz and Al Lopes who contributed 15 points apiece. MU's high scorer was Ron Coleman with 20.
After entering KU from high school spring semester last year, White, former St. Louis high school star, has now become eligible for varsity play and according to head coach, Ted Owens, will see action Saturday night against Oklahoma State at Lawrence.
AT HALF-TIME, KU held only a 36-28 lead as Coleman, Rob Vanatta, and Bob Dinsdale led an inspired first-half for Missouri. It was only a matter of time, however, as KU's superior strength, particularly on the backboards, began presenting itself in the second half.
"He's looked real good in practice lately, quick and aggressive, but we'll have to see how practice comes along the rest of the week to finally determine our starting lineup," said Miranda.
SAM MIRANDA. assistant varsity coach, stated that it is certain that the 6' 3" White will play Saturday night, but whether he will start or not has not yet been determined.
If White is a member of the starting team, Al Lopes, a regular at guard, will probably be moved to forward. This is not final as the
The Missouri game marked the last time that Jo-Jo White, KU's talented sophomore guard, will watch an entire varsity game from the bench.
KU Trackmen Off To Winning Start
With record-slashing performances, KU trackmen shot from the starting blocks into the indoor track season, last weekend, winning two home meets.
In the Friday night varsity meet with Southern Illinois University, Bob Hanson, Wichita senior, and John Lawson, Overland Park junior, scored double victories to lead the squad to a 68-54 victory.
GEORGE BYERS, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, tied the world indoor record in the 60-yard low hurdles Saturday night, as the freshman squad won a 60-point victory over its nearest competitor in a nine-school meet.
In the varsity contest two Allen Field House records were set, six meet records broken and one tied.
Lawson broke the field house record in the mile with a 4:08.4 run, and the 9:07.9 meet record in the two mile with a 9:07.5 time. Hanson tied the 60-yard dash meet record of 6.2 seconds and took first place in the 60-yard low hurdles.
ROBERT TIMMONS, head track coach, said he was pleased with the team's performance.
In the Freshman-Junior College Invitational, 11 meet records were set. Jim Ryun, Wichita freshman, set field house records running the mile in 4:04.5, and the 880 in 1:53.2.
"They performed very well on a team basis," he said. "We had tough competition and were ready to fight down to the last event.
Byers broke the meet record and tied the world record with a 6.7 seconds time in the 60-yard low hurdles. He also broke a meet record by clearing the 60-yard high hurdles in 7.8 seconds.
JOHN MITCHELL, freshman track coach, was impressed with the performance of the entire squad.
decision concerning the starting five against Oklahoma State hinges on performances in practice this week.
"This was the first time they
have run in competition," he said, "and it's tough to run without competition. The boys were ready to run, as their performance showed."
THE DECISION to move White up to the varsity was no rash judgment, as the entire KU coaching staff has speculated on the situation much of the season. White is expected to add greatly to the Jayhawks already improving team depth and speed. He is not only a scoring threat as his double figure scoring average in freshman ball indicates, but he is a pinpoint passer much resembling the fabled Oscar Robertson in appearance.
The varsity meet, which KU won by 14 points, was much closer than the score would indicate. Southern Illinois won the mile relay, but was disqualified. Had their win counted, KU would have won the meet by only four points.
