Basketball outlook
Stronger team is seen
The Jayhawks have the potential to be stronger than last year's club that posted a second straight 23-4 record and won 'the Big Eight race by a three-game margin over Colorado and Nebraska.
Coach Ted Owens, beginning his fourth campaign at the KU helm, points to added experience, better depth and personnel that could allow him greater flexibility in substituting. He feels the upcoming squad will be equipped to play more of a running game on offense when called upon, and also can play full-court pressure defense when the occasion dictates. "We should be better equipped to meet the tempo of the game than we were last year," Owens believes.
The 38-year-old coach tempers this optimistic outlook, however, with the warning that Kansas "will be facing its toughest December schedule in a long time—perhaps the toughest ever." He also expects the Big Eight to be stronger over-all than last year. He looks for Nebraska to be even better than a year ago, Colorado, Kansas State and Iowa State to as good or better and Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to improve the most.
Clay leaves prison term to 'Allah'
CHICAGO — (UPI) — Former heavyweight champion Cassius Clay said the "grace of Allah," would decide whether he goes to prison for evading the draft, but meanwhile he wants to do some more boxing.
Within the next several months, Clay told a news conference here Wednesday, he may fight Germany's Karl Mildenberger.

Led by world-record-miler Jim Ryun, the troupe also includes Gary Ard, who is entered in the long jump, high hurdler George Byers, quarter-miler Ben Olison, and another high hurdler, Lee Adams.
"PRACTICALLY ALL the outstanding players in the conference last year were underclassmen." Owens remarked. All five players who made the All-Big Eight team last year will be in action again. They are Don Sidle of Oklahoma, Don Smith of Iowa State, Stuart Lantz of Nebraska and the Jayhawks' JoJo White and Rodger Bohnenschl.

In addition to standouts White and Bostoennielt, both named to the NCAA All-Star team for the Pan American Trials, the Jayhawks' collection of nine returning lettermen includes three other full or part-time starters—Vernon Vanoy, Big Eight sophomore-of-year last winter; Bruce Sloan and Phil Harmon. Also back is 6-7 Howard Arndt, who came on strong during the late stages of the season to provide solid reserve support in the front line.
Ryun, who set a world's record in the four-quarter event last year, has run the event under the four minute mark four times this year. His best time for the season was a blistering 3:53.2 at the Compton-Coliseum Invitational at Los Angeles, June 2,

Five KU thinclads enter AAU meet
Newcomers hold the key to how much improvement Kansas makes. This group includes 6-10 Dave Nash, a junior college transfer who averaged 19.6 points a game with Dallas Baptist last winter; 6-9 Greg Douglas, Keokau, Iowa, sophomore who did not play freshman basketball, and four off last year's fresh outfit—Rich Bradshaw, 6-3; Chester Lawrence, 6-4; Jim Hoffmann, 6-7, and Carl Janis, 6-2.
"Douglas and Nash could help our rebounding and scoring, if they come through like they are capable of," Owens offered. "Bradshaw could give us added ballhandling in the backcourt, and if necessary, he could be a very versatile forward for us." He added that Lawrence is an outstanding shooter and both Hoffmann and Janis have the potential to be helpful.
Byers has run the 120 high hurdles in 13.8 twice—both this year.
