Jayhawk Frosh Meet Kansas St. Here Tomorrow
University of Kansas sports fans will get their first look at a KU freshman basketball team that could well provide many of KU's varsity starters for the next three seasons Thursday night.
The Javahawk frosh, fresh from an opening victory over Kansas Stat at Manhattan last week, meet the Wildcats again in a 7:30 tilt in Aller Field House.
IN THE JAYHAWKERS' season opener last week, the Hawks upended K-State with a 69-49 assault. In that game Hawker center George Unseld scored 35 points.
Due to the 'Cats lack of height, KU yearling Coach Ted Owens expects the Wildecats to use a zone defense here. He said Monday that practice sessions since the KSU clash have been devoted to an offense that will work against a zone defense.
After a pre-game exhibition Monday between the frosh and the Daily Kansan Intramural All-Stars, a game the Hawks won by a 16-point margin. Coach Owens said his team needed some defensive work, also.
PROBABLE KU STARTERS are guards Wayne Loving and David Schichtle, forwards David Erill and Mike Shinn, and center George Unseld.
PROBABLE KU STARTEES pr
Shinn, who originally was the number two center behind the 6-7 Unseld, moved into the starting forward spot after Jim Gough, $6 - 7\frac{1}{2}$ had a case of influenza.
Brill, 6-5, scored five points in the KSU tilt and canned 11 points in the All-Stars Freshman clash.
Schichtle, 6-2, and Loving, 5-11, both all-state prep picks, were defensive standouts in the KSU opener. Schichtle scored 13 points in Monday's outing.

Teams Selected For Tourney Play
By United Press International
That expected battle between officials of the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the National Invitation Tournament in corraling independent teams was no contest
The NCAA, in slightly more than 24 hours, lined up eight of the nine so-called "at large" members they needed for their annual jamboree, which gets underway with regional playoffs March 12. The other 16 berths in the 25-team field will be filled by conference champions.
The NCAA bounced back Tuesday with four additional independents — Seattle, New York University, Butler and the Air Force Academy. This may have caught the NIT gang by surprise but they recovered in time to sign up St. John's, one of the East's best teams, last night.
When the embargo on the signing of independent teams was lifted Monday, the NCAA landed Villanova, Oregon State, Creighton and Detroit while the NIT sponsors received acceptances from defending champion Providence, Loyala of Chicago, Duquesne and Houston.
