Hawks swamp Oklahoma State, 52-39
By MIKE WALKER UDK Sports Editor
Last night, the KU basketball team swamped the Oklahoma State Cowboys 52-39. KU now has a solid grip on the Big Eight lead.
To start things off, Vernon Vanoy popped in two quick points to give Kansas the quick advantage. Then Ron Franz stole the ball and dunked the ball all down-court. KU-4, OSU-0. Vernon Vanoy was then fouled by Chad Brown, and made the free shot count. KU started an early press which it reverted to several times during the game.
OKLAHOMA STATE, KNOWING the speed of KU, tried to freeze the game by starting out with an early stall offense. The crowd didn't like this a bit. Jim Feamster, OSU's leading scorer, made the first Cowboy basket.
Jo Jo White rebounded a poor shot by Joe Smith, Oklahoma State recovered and put up a shot with Feamster. Rodger Bohnenstiehl made a beautiful block, but the ref must have been listening to the Oklahoma State bench and called a foul. Feamster took advantage and added two points to the score. Rodger Bohnenstiehl put in a quick lay-up to add to his game honors of 14 points.
KU called time with the score KU-11, OSU-7. With the game back in play, Jo Jo faked Brown out of his . . . shoes, and put in an easy two points. With 10:57 left in the first half. KU was out in front 14-7.
BRUCE SLOAN GRABBED the ball, passed it to Ron Franz who made an easy lay-up. White deflected an Oklahome State pass, shot ball and missed, but OSU was caught traveling and KU got the ball back.
Bill Fisher made a nice shoulder block into Jo Jo, but
Following a lay-up by Bohnenstiehl, Bill Christopher put in two for the Pokes, but Bohnenstiehl charged back with another goal.
the ref was out getting some popcorn, and called the foul on White. Fisher made the shot.
VANOY PICKED UP foul trouble as he fouled Feamster for his third in the first half. Bohnensiehl rebounded, was tied up in a jump and the ball went to Chad Brown who promptly missed the shot. OSU got the ball on a walking violation and went back into its freeze.
Fisher sailed in a 20-foot jumper to make it KU-21, OSU-16. Oklahoma State started to loosen up a bit and put up a point, which missed and was rebounded by Franz. KU played with the ball until it could get an easy shot. They did, and Franz laid in two easy points. Bill Christopher made a desperate attempt as he shot a full court set shot as the gun ending the half went off.
KU hit 42 per cent of its field goals the first half and 60 per cent of its free throws. OSU hit 82 per cent of its free throws and 22 per cent of its field goals.
KU OPENED the second half by scoring the first six buckets in succession. KU started to press the Cowboys and it paid off in missed passes and a lot of ball stealing. Jo Jo put up a long shot, missed it and Sloan layed it in for an easy bucket.
The ref called a foul on Bruce Sloan when he stole the ball and the crowd booed until the rafters shook. They booed all through the ensuing time-out . . . and after . . . and still more boos. They even booed all through Brown's free shot.
Fisher put up a long shot, missed and JoJo rebounded, passed it to Bohnenstiehl, who passed to Vanoy underneath. Vanoy threw it back to Jo Jo who put up a shot, and missed it. Vanoy grabbed a pass and threw it to Sloan who was fouled, and made the shot good. Vanoy picked up foul No. 4 and Phil Harmon replaced him.
JOE SMITH PUT UP a shot for OSU and made the score 33-22 with 14:35 left. Bohnenstiehl and Franz both put in a basket underneath. Feamster jabbed Harmon, knocking him to the ground, and the ref must have gone out for a coke, cause he called it on Harmon, and again the crowd went wild.
KU dropped into a zone, temporarily. KU started to grab passes and to knock the ball out. This shook OSU. Bohnensieth laid in another. Sloan then put in a stretcher and KU jumped ahead 37-24.
FRANZ RECOVERED a Chad Brown shot and laid it in for a tally. Vanoy went in for Bohnenstiehl and then fouled out before he could do any damage to the Cowboys. Bohnenstiehl came back in for Vanoy.
Fat Davis came in for Harmon. KU called time out. Then they went into a delay game, going only for the easy shot. Sloan, White and Franz were replaced by Jaye Ediger, Rich Thomas, and Howard Arndt.
OSU sent in its reserves. George Yarnevitch replaced Bohnenstiehl. Arndt then sank an easy bucket. Rich Thomas sank a half-court bucket as the gun ending the game went off.
Franz and Bohnenstiehl tied with Feamster at 14 for the game highs. Sloan had 10, White 4, Vanoy 5, and Harmon and Thomas 2 each.
Leading the Pokes were Feamster with 14, Smith with 6, Fisher and Watson five each and Brown and Westmoreland with 3 and 2.

Where does an engineer intern?
Before you decide on the job that's to start you on your professional career, it's good to ask a few point blank questions . . . like:
- Will this job let me rub shoulders with engineers doing things that haven't been done before, in all phases of engineering?
- Will I be working for an engineering oriented management whose only standard is excellence?
- Will I have access to experts in fields other than my own to help me solve problems and stimulate professional growth?
- Will I be working with the widest range of professional competence and technological facilities in the U. S.?
- Are engineering careers with this company stable . . . or do they depend upon proposals and market fluctuations?
