Cyclones Bring Strong Scoring Attack Here
By Ben Marshall
Missouri coach Sparky Stalcup said recently, "As individual players go, the five starters on that Iowa State team could make any Big Eight starting lineup."
This idea should be enough to make any opposing coach shudder, especially Kansas mentor Dick Harp, whose staggering Jayhawkers entertain the Cyclones tomorrow night in Allen Field House. Tipoff will be at 7:35.
THE BASIS for Stalcup's observation is that Iowa State coach Glen Anderson's charges, sole possessors of third place with a 4-3 conference mark, sport a more balanced scoring attack than any other team in the league.
Four of the Cyclone starters — forwards Vinnie Brewer and Marv Straw, guard Gary Wheeler, and center Bob Stoy — are shooting in double figures with Brewer leading
the team at a 14.9 clip through 16 games. Straw is averaging 11.2 points per game, Wheeler has an 11.1 mark, and Stoy rounds out the doublefigure shooters at 10.3.
In addition, Anderson's crew boasts the second-best shooting percentage in the conference, hitting from the field at a 39.9 clip. Oklahoma State's 43.8 mark is tops.
BUT THE HAWKERS, despite the 91-72 drubbing they received from Kansas State in Lawrence Wednesday night, are beginning to show a more consistent offense. Following the game, Coach Harp admitted that his Jayhawkers seemed to have their "spark" back.
The hotshot backcourt twosome of Nolen Ellison and Jerry Gardner, who have provided the Kansas fire-power most of the season, might be able to offset the Cyclone's balanced scoring attack with one of their own.
Salukis, Gorillas Run Hawks This Afternoon
Joe Thomas, one of the budding aces in a budding track power, Southern Illinois, will challenge the best of the Kansas distance corps this afternoon when the Jayhawkers host the Salukis and Pittsburg State in an Indoor triangular.
The pole vault is scheduled at 3 p.m. with the high jump at 3:30. The first running event, the mile, is scheduled at 4 p.m.
THOMAS, a Uniontown, Pa., sophomore, owns career bests of 4:14.1 in the mile, and 9:07.0 in the two-mile. Both were recorded in his freshman season last year.
In his only Indoor start this winter Thomas posted a fine double, winning the three-mile in the Chicago land Open in 14:36, and coming back with a second in the 3000-meter Steeplechase in 9:27.8.
He'll contest the Jayhawkers' captain, Bill Dotson, in the mile and another veteran, Charles Hayward, over two-miles in what should be highlight events in the clubs' first meeting.
DOTSON SET a new Allen Field House record of 4:11.5 in last week's opening against Pittsburg State. Hayward jogged the fastest two-mile of the young Big Eight season at 9:30.1.
This will mark the fourth meeting of the year between Thomas and the Jayhawker pair. Both beat the former over three-miles in a cross-country dual here last autumn. Thomas ran fourth in that meet as Jim Dupree, a half-miler, placed third.
Dotson and Hayward again ran 1-2 leading a Jayhawker win in the CCC, with Thomas third. However, the Saluki rookie split them in the NCAA over four miles, finishing seven lengths behind Dotson in 27th place, and four notches ahead of Hayward.
Dotson's opening spin was the third-fastest indoor flight of his career, and with Thomas giving him a hard run he likely will dip lower. Hayward can be expected to threaten his personal low of 9:25.6 in his match with Thomas.
A WEEK EARLIER Thomas picked off second in the NCAA College division meet. He won the NAIA harrier title as a freshman in 1960.
Dupree, 1961 NAAU 880 champion, will miss the affair since he is with a traveling troupe of American trackmen in New Zealand.
Kansas again will be minus distance veteran Danny Ralston and hurdler Dan Lee who are nursing lame legs. Both missed the Gorilla opener.
Officials of the Bluebonnet Bowl will award a trophy to the Kansas Jayhawker football team tomorrow night between halves of the KU-Iowa State basketball encounter.
Bowl Officials Here To Present Trophy
Kansas won the Bluebonnet Bowl Dec. 16 by defeating Rice 33-7.
In losses to the Air Force Academy (76-72), Missouri (79-66), and Kansas State (91-72), the sporadic Jayhawkers have scored 210 points and Ellison and Gardner have accounted for 120 counters themselves.
Despite the show in the backcourt from Gardner, who is currently averaging a snappy 20 points a game, and Ellison, who is scoring at a 19.2 cup, Kansas—as usual—will suffer under the boards.
KANSAS CENTER Buddy Vance will find himself at a height disadvantage again as the Cyclone pivotman Stoy stands 6-8. However, forwards Harry Gibson (6-3), the leading Hawker rebounder in the K-State contest, and Jim Dumas (6-2), top Kansas rebound this season, are much more evenly matched with Iowa State forwards Brewer (6-3) and Straw (6-4).
Kansas Fencers Open at Wichita
By Clare Casey
Win, lose, or draw, Hawker fans should not become despondent about the possibility of Kansas (1-4) slipping below the Missouri Tigers (1-5) into the Big Eight cellar. The Bengals will be "entertained" by Kansas State tomorrow night in Manhattan.
The Kansas Jayhawkers fencing team will open its schedule tomorrow at Wichita in a state open meet. The opponents will be various fencing clubs throughout the state.
The squad will then return to Lawrence and begin preparation for its first home meet of the season against the Air Force Academy.
"We should have an especially good team this year," said Coach John Giele. "Last year's record of 500 should be equaled and possibly bettered. The team has strong depth, with six of nine lettermen returning."
This year's team will be led by state sabre champion senior-captain Meredith Wilson, Lawrence. Backing up Wilson will be five other returning lettermen: Gene Barron, Emporia, Mike Harris, Shawnee Mission, and Tom Palmitaite, Valencia, Venezuela. Rounding out the squail will be Bill Caldwood, Topeka, John Dillard, Caldwell, Paul Shaffer, Derby, Jim Anderson, Wichita, Rodger Thompson, Medicine Lodge, Rueben McCormack, Abilene.
The rest of the team's schedule is: March 3, Oklahoma and Iowa State here; March 10, the University of Illinois, there, and March 31, the NCAA championships at Columbus, Ohio. Early in April, Kansas will also host the Amateur Fencing League Association Foil Championships.
K.U. vs. Iowa State
Tomorrow Night
By Mike Miller
Special Halftime Presentation
"It should be the meet of the year," said swimming coach Jay Markley in reference to the Oklahoma-Kansas meet here Saturday, in Robinson pool.
WARD, THE FIRST KU Swimmer to be named All America, has been the top Kansas scorer for the past two years. He holds the Big Eight record in the 50-yard freestyle as well as six school records.
He said that his Jayhawkers have a very good chance to be the first team in many years to defeat the Sooners, who have won the conference title for the last seven years. "This is the first time that any team in the last few years has been in a position to go into the meet with a chance at beating Oklahoma," he said.
COACH MARKLEY was enthusiastic in describing the upcoming meet to be "an outstanding dual meet in every sense of the word, as well as an extremely close one."
This threesome will be backed up by Ludy Harman. George Tiller, John Kemp, Bill Mills and Winters.
The Bluebonnet Bowl delegation from Houston will present the official Bluebonnet trophy to Coach Jack Mitchell at halftime.
Reamon, also a senior, scored two less points than did Ward last year, and holds all of the KU records in the butterfly and individual medley. Murdock, a junior with tremendous potential, was named to the all Big Eight team last year.
THE JAYHAWK tankmen will find formidable opposition in the Sooners. Oklahoma has yet to taste defeat since its coach Matt Mann came to the school seven years ago. The colorful 77-year old coach described his 1961-1962 team "as good as usual."
League Champs Here Tomorrow
Game Time 7:30 p.m. Frosh at 6:00 p.m.
KU's hopes will be centered around All America Eldon Ward, Dick Reamon and Bill Murdock.
There is a strong possibility that two national records may fall Saturday along with seven Big Eight and eight Robinson pool records. Kansas bettered the national 400-yard medley relay record in practice by twenteths of a second, and sophomore back-stroker George Winters swam the 200-yard back stroke six-tenths of a second faster than the existing national record, but this too was in a practice session.
The Sooners will be led by John Day, the holder of three conference records, Carl Zahn, Hal Williams, Charley Schuette, Phil Brougher, and Barron Housel.
Coach Markley said that the outcome of the last event, the 400-yard freestyle relay might decide the winner of the meet. He said that OU "has a strong 440-yard relay team" and that the KU swimmers have been working particularly hard on this event in practice.
