KU meets KSU for 159th time
Undisputed Big Fight champ KU will host K-State Saturday in the final regular season conference game. Tip-off will be at 8:05.
This will be the 159th time the two teams have met. The game will be televised over a seven-station Kansas and Missouri network. It will also be the fourth time KU will go before the cameras in the past five weeks.
The Wildcats were beaten by the Jayhawks on their home court earlier this season 60-55. A KU victory would give Kansas a 20-game winning streak on their home court.
THE WILDCATS ARE shooting for a second place tie in the Big Eight and a possible spot in the National Invitational Tournament.
Coach Ted Owens holds a 6-1 edge over the Wildcats in the three seasons that he has coached at KU. But K-State has won five of its last six outings and is always tough against KU.
Kansas, ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press poll has reaped 10 straight victories since dropping a thriller in Boulder in January. The Jayhawks command an 11-1 conference record and a season total of 21-3.
KANSAS HAS WON the last five meetings with K-State and holds a 101-57 lead in a rivalry that has been flaring since 1907 when the Wildcats bagged the series opener from a team coached by the founder of basketball, Dr. James A. Naismith.
In 12 Allen Field House contests the Hawks and the Wildecats have split the total at six each.
In the last two pressure victories over Nebraska and Colorado only seven Jayhawks saw action. Four are sophomores . . . starters Vernon Vanoy and Bruce Sloan and first-line reserves Phil Harmon and Howard Arndt. The others are juniors Jo Jo White and Rodger Bohnenstiehl and senior Ron Franz.
Bohnenstiehl is the leading scorer with a 17.0 points-per-game average and Franz is tops in rebounding with 164 grabs.
Hawks can take 2nd place honors
A victory over Kansas State Saturday will move KU into second place.
Though GPI rates the Hawks fourth and the AP shows them third, Kansas is presently tied as the nation's second most-winning basketball team in history with 960 successes.
KU CAN TAKE sole possession of the spot Saturday. Moving into the 1966-67 season, Kansas showed a 68 year record of 939-433, including 51 winning seasons.
Then in second position was Kentucky with a 948-285 standing.
But this season has been Adolph Rupp's worst-ever in 35 years at Lexington, Ky., as his squad dropped 14 of 26 decisions, including the season's finale last Monday.
THE JAYHAWKS have been victorious 21 times for coach Ted Owens, boosting KU's totals to 930 and 436.
Next year Kansas may have an opportunity to move into the top spot as number one Oregon State won but 12 and lost in 1567 to raise its win total to 674.
The only other shift among the country's top five was made by St. John's of New York City. The Redmen moved to fourth with a

21-3 mark, including an early season victory over KU, to pass Penn.
PENN SLIPPED with a 11-14 record for 912-534 overall versus St. John's 918-373 compilation.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
LONDON—(UPI)—The old saw that "it takes one to know one" doesn't always hold true. A motorist whose car broke down on a lonely Hampshire country road at night was waiting for help to come along when a man approached. As the Daily Telegraph told the story, the newcomer handed the car owner a flashlight and said, "okay, you take the battery and I'll take the wheels."
A football clinic for high school coaches from Kansas and surrounding states will be held April 29. The clinic is sponsored by the KU football coaching staff. Pepper Rodgers, head coach, said it is planned to be an annual event.
The first clinic will include lectures on all phases of offense and defense by Rodgers and his staff. The session will be completed on the practice field as the KU squad goes through a regular spring practice session.
Visiting coaches will arrive Friday and will be housed in one of the residence halls. An informal discussion session is planned for that night.
The athletic department will be host at a Saturday luncheon and a dinner to wind up the clinic.
There will be no charge, Rodgers said. Registration will require state association membership cards.
