Monday, Feb. 12, 1962 University Daily Kansan Page 9 University Daily Kansan SPORTS Cowboys Host Hawks Tonight Bv Ben Marshall The Kansas Jayhawkers, mired in seventh place with a 1-5 conference mark, could jump a notch higher by winning tonight's match with Hank Iba's Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater. Tipoff will be at 7:35. Kansas Coach Dick Harp, in a surprise move last night, announced that senior football letterman Lee Lee Flachsbarth Flachsbarth, 6-5 reserve pivot, would start in place of 6-6 Buddy Vance. This will be Flachsbarth's first opening with the varsity since he joined the Hawkers in mid-December. He currently owns an even two-point average in 11 appearances. The Pokes, who sport a 2-5 conference mark, have dropped their last two decisions to Colorado (54- 39) and Nebraska (57-56) since losing hotshot guard Moe Iba to a knee surgeon. KU Sports Network To Broadcast Game successors O-State Forward wall, much to the relief of Hawker forwards Jim Dumas (6-2) and Harry Gibson (6-3), and center Flachbarth, will have only a slight height advantage under the boards in tonight's contest. Cowboy center Eddie Bunch (6-7) has a two-inch spread over Flachbarth, but 6-4 forwards Cecil Epperly and Ray Reins could have trouble with KU's leading boardmen Dumas and Gibson. The KU Sports Network will broadcast tonight's Kansas-Okla- homa State encounter over two area stations, KJAY, 1440. Topea, KANU-FM, 92.5. Lawrence. Tom Hedrick will hundle the play-by-play; Monte Johnson will do color. A total of seven stations will carry the game. The Hawkers' balanced offensive attack in the Iowa State game, led by Gibson and Dumas with 18 apache, will probably have another chance at Gallagher Hall as Coach Iba's defense-minded ball control crew, which currently owns the best shooting percentage at 43.8, concentrates on containing the Kansas backcourt duo of Jerry Gardner and Nollen Ellison. Gardner managed to gun for 16 Saturday, but Ellison slipped to 10. Kansas Tripped in Squeaker, 75-72 By Steve Clark Kansas Coach Dick Harp after last Monday night's game with Missouri listed his Jayhawker's major weakness as being inability to achieve and maintain a consistent effort. After Wednesday night's Kansas State game he said his team had its "spark" back. Against Iowa State Saturday night the Jayhawkers found their "spark" in the second half and built a five point lead over the Cyclones. The Jayhawkers' main weakness confronted them again when they couldn't maintain a consistent effort, and lost their lead and the game 75-72. With four minutes left to play in the game Kansas held a 72-67 lead. Gary Wheeler, Bob Stoy and Marv Straw scored to put the Cyclones ahead 73-72 with 1:14 remaining. THE JAYHAWKERS trailing 38-30 at halftime were behind the entire first half and did not take a small one-point margin until five minutes had elapsed in the second half. Harry Gibson hit a jump shot to put the Javhawkers in front. Jim Dumas and Jerry Gardner missed shots and it looked as if the Cyclones would be able to hold the ball the remainder of the game. Love Sparks, however, knocked the ball loose from a Cycle player to give the Jayhawkers another chance. DUMAS SHOT from beneath the basket, but was fouled by Straw with 16 seconds remaining. Dumas stepped to the line with two shots coming and Iowa State ahead by one point. The 6-1 Topeka forward missed both shots and Missouri rebounded. Gardner fouled Stoy with six seconds remaining, and Stoy made both shots to ice up Iowa State's first win in Allen Field House. BOTH FORWAEDS scored 18 points which was high for KU Gary Wheeler was the game's high scorer with 21 points. Gardner was held to 16 and Ellison to 10. Dumas combined with Gibson to provide what the Jayhawkers have not had in the front-line all year, a scoring punch. With a stout Iowa State defense holding KU guards Gardner and Ellison to 26 points, the front-line assumed the load. The Iowa State defense was a zone with man-to-man principles used on the guards. Wheeler disclosed after the game that the defense was new and that they had not practiced it before this week. Dumas in addition to his scoring played a tremendous defensive game with his usual strong rebounding performance. Dumas who pulled off 11 rebounds held Cyclone ace Vinnie Brewer to 11 points. THE GAME WAS WON by Iowa State primarily because of a strong shooting percentage. Overall they averaged 50 per cent while the Jayhawkers could manage only 39 per cent. In the last few seconds of the first half Allen Field House partisans saw a play that they will probably never see again. With a few seconds remaining to play, Gardner took a pass from a teammate and instead of catching it, he batted it over his head volleyball style to Ellison breaking down the court who scored as the buzzer sounded. The Jayhawkers outplayed the Cyclones in the mechanical error department. Kansas made but four errors in each half while Iowa State miscued on 21 occasions. "Jerry (Gardner) told me after the game that he spent most of the game trying to figure it out," Wheeler said. Thinclads Grab All Firsts At Indoor Triangular Meet By Roy Miller The University of Kansas track team rolled to its second straight indoor win Friday as Coach Bill Easton's charges grabbed every first place and placed one-two in nine events. title in 1:13.3 and the 880 with a 1:56.9 posting. KU amassed a total of 105 points, Southern Illinois finished with 26 counters, and Pittsburg State had 20 in the triangular. ONE OF KU'S double winners, Bill Dotson, handed teammate Kirk Hagan his first career defeat in the 1,000-yard run. Dotson edged Hagan with a 2:14.2 effort. Dotson also placed first in the mile with a 4:14.2 clocking. KU'S CHARLIE HAYWARD Other Jayhawker double winners included Charlie Smith and Bill Thornton. Smith took first in the 60-yard highs (:07.5) and lows (:06.5) Thornton grabbed the 600-dollar dash picked up his career best in the twomile event. Hayward finished in 9.18.7, seven seconds better than his previous high. Charlie Hayward Yul Yost tossed the shot put 52-412 for another career high. Other Hawk ribbon winners were Larry McCue, 60-yard dash, :063; Ron Swanson, high jump, 6-5¾; Bill Stoddart, 440-yard dash, :50.5; Jack Stevens, pole vault, 14-4; Lion Cassord, broad jump, 22-5; and the Hawk mile relay team of Martin, Gene Barnard, Tonnie Coane, and Kirk Hagan, 3:29.3. OU Swim Skein Intact After 62-33 Romp Over Jayhawkers Coach Anderson praised the Jayhawk rally in the late moments of the game by saying, "We got the lead and then they would come right back and take it away from us." "The score wasn't at all representative of the meet" said Matt Mann. Oklahoma's 77-year old swimming coach after his Sooners had defeated Kansas 62-33 in a dual meet Saturday at Robinson Gymnasium pool. By Mike Miller The following KU thinclads nabbed runnerup spots: Ted Risinger, mile and 880-yard run; Charles Twiss, high jump (a new career high); Tonnie Coane, 600-yard dash; Roger Schmanke, pole vault; Rich Anderson, 60-year high hurdles; Doug Stoner, shot put; and Dan Lee, 60-year low hurdles. One of the main reasons for the Iowa State win was a zone defense that limited the KU guard duo, Nolen Ellison and Jerry Gardner, to 26 points. Although Anderson cited some Cyclone "defensive lapses," he said, Ptacek (John), Wheeler (Gary), and Lowe (Tim) did a good job of covering the KU guards." The gray-haired mentor of Oklahoma's swimming dynasty, who has yet to be beaten in a dual meet in the seven years that he has been head coach, was quite praiseworthy of the KU squad and its head coach, Jay Markley. AS HE SLIPPED on his blue blazer with the crest showing that he had been coach of the 1952 American Olympic team at Helsinki, the ageless mentor said that KU's 400-yard medley relay team "really gave me the doublecross." Bv Roy Miller gave He was referring to the KU team composed of George Winter, John Kemp, Bill Mills, and Bill Murdock which shattered the existing American 20-yard pool record set by Michigan State in 1958 by 1.3 seconds. Coach Takes First at KU Last week the "drought" for two opposing Big Eight basketball coaches ended. SPEAKING OF THE WIN over Coach Dick Harp's Jayhawks, Anderson said. "The game was so close that either team could have won." Anderson added. "I'm glad it was us." THEN, on Saturday night, Iowa State nudged the Jayhawkers 75-72. This also was a "drought-ending" victory in that it was the first win over KU in Lawrence for Cyclone Coach Glen Anderson in his three years as Iowa State mentor. Anderson was also elated for another reason. The Iowa State coach said, "This is the first time we've won a close game this year." Coach Anderson said after the game, "It feels real good to win one." He added, "We've never come close down here." coaches clashed. On Monday Missouri toppled KU 79-66. This win marked the first victory in 10 years for Coach "Sparky" Stalcup in a KU-MU clash in Lawrence. "I was surprised that we lost the first relay (the 400-yard medley), he said. "I never like to start out behind." He spoke of Coach Markley as "a hard worker with a good team." TWO OTHER AMERICAN swim records for a 20-yard pool were broken at the meet. Oklahoma's John Day established a new 200-yard backstroke record as he streaked the distance in 2:05.9. KU's George Winter finished in a virtual tie with Day, but the judges' decision gave the race, and the record, to Day. After the meet, the happy winner said that during the race, I thought I was going to get beat." Charley Schuette of Oklahoma set a new record in the 440-yard free-style as he beat his competitors by two lengths in the 4:24.7 effort. Emphasizing his point with a steel clip board containing statistics of the meet, the colorful OU coach said that Schuette "has been ripe for breaking the record for a long time, but you can't be sure until the record is broken." COACH JAY MARKLEY, who had missed practice all week because of illness, was disappointed at losing the meet that he and his swimmers had been preparing for so long, but said that his swimmers "had swim well." "I thought it would be closer," he said, "but that sure was some 400," he added with a smile and a whistle He was particularly pleased with the performance of Ludy Harman, who won the 220-yard freestyle. Markley said "Harman and Winter were our outstanding swimmers today." BILL MURDOCK WAS KU's only other first place winner taking the 200-vard breaststroke in 2.33.3. The loss of Kansas City, Kansas Junior College transfer Mike Caldwell through an eligibility technicality "really hurt us," he said. KU freshman Ron Marsh invested a total of 5 minutes and sixteen seconds in the Kansas City Golden Gloves Tournament and brought home the Open Division Heavyweight Championship Saturday night. Highlight of his three-fight, weekend itinerary was a first round TKO of two-time defending champion Frank House in the finals. The referee stepped in at 1:59 of the first round to stop the mismatch. Marsh, who doubles as a football guard, completely dominated all his fights and was cheered lustily by the crowd when crowned champion. None of Marsh's opponents lasted beyond the first round. The powerful Kansas Citian alternated between a right- and left-handed attack. Coach Markley explained that Caldwell had graduated from junior college with satisfactory grades, but since he had taken only 22 rather than the 24 hours required by the conference in the last two semesters, he was ruled ineligible for Big Eight conference meets. MARKLEY SAID THAT he hopes to have Caldwell declared eligible before the Big Eight conference meet, March 1, 2.3. The Big Eight board meets on March 1, and Coach Markley said that he will bring Caldwell's case up as early as possible so he might still be able to compete in the conference meet. The coach said Caldwell's presence would have enabled him to spread his swimmers out more and possibly pick up more second and third place points. Markley said that he had expected Day and Schuette to be exceptional, but he was somewhat surprised by the good showing of Carl Zahn. Zahn won the 200-year butterfly. Markley said, "I sure thought we could win it." He lost the 100-yard race on a judge's decision, however. The scrapy senior from Wichita fought all the way and was clocked one-tenth of a second faster than Oklahoma's Phil Brougher, but the judges ruled that Brougher's hand had touched first. The discrepancy in times can be explained by a difference in the reaction times of the judges. ONE OF THE disappointments of the meet was the showing of All America Eldon Ward. The KU captain had hoped to bring in first place honors in both the 60- and 100-yard freestyles, but was only able to capture seconds in both events. MARKLEY said that part of Ward's problem was at the turns. "He beat (OU'S John) Bernard on the straightaway, but lost the turns to him," the KU mentor explained. AFTER THE MEET, it wasn't too difficult to figure out which team had won. The Sooners were either with Coach Mann, or like Jim Cody, who took second in diving, walking around the campus in a light gray business suit with camera in hand looking for possible pictures. The Jayhawkers, on the other hand, were heartbeat. They had trained hard for many weeks in hopes of being the first Big Eight school in many years to unseat the powerful Sooners. BACKSTROKER GEORGE Winter went over and shook hands with Day, who had only minutes earlier beaten him out of an American record by inches. Most of the Jayhawkers, however, dressed quickly and quietly, and left. Many of them had swum better than in any previous meet, but still they had failed to do what they had been aiming so hard at, bringing an end to the seeming dynasty of Oklahoma.
