Jayhawks Host Tigers Tonight
The cellar-dwelling Missouri Tigers, winless in five Big Eight starts, invade Allen Field House tonight, attempting to avenge their Jan. 13, 65-54 loss to the Kansas Jayhawkers in Columbia. Tipoff time is at 7:35.
The Kansas contest is the second of a current three-game road trip for MU Coach Sparky Stalcup's crew. The Bengals lost the opener of this series last Wednesday to Iowa State, 85-73, in Ames.
THE HAWKERS, who dropped : 76-72 decision to the Air Force Academy Saturday and stand 1-2 in league play, will face a definite height disadvantage under the boards. The regular Mizzou front line, featuring Ray Bob Carey (6-6), Walt Grebing (6-5½) and Gary Dye (6-7), average three inches per man taller than the KU boardmen Jim Dumas, Harry Gibson, and Buddy Vance.
But the Kansas backcourt duo of Nolen Ellison and Jerry Gardner, both averaging in double figures, could take up part of the slack in the Hawker board strength. Ellison is averaging 20 points in conference contests and 19.5 overall.
Gardner's 18.5 conference mark and his 21 per game season average trailed off slightly due to a 14-point performance Saturday.
IN ADDITION to the backcourt stars, the Hawker attack could be bolstered by Dumas, always a threat on the boards, who picked up his point production Saturday.
In comparison, the Tigers can boast of only one regular with an average in double figures, guard Ken Doughty, who is hitting at a 15.3 clip.
Dumas, Kansas' midget 6-1 forward, gave the Jayhawkers a big scoring boost at Colorado Springs but was unable to turn the tide against the Falcons. Dumas had his best offensive game of the year pouring in seven field goals, and five out of six free throws for 19 points. His previous high was 18 points against St. Louis in the second game of the season.
ELLISON, who has led the Jayhawkers in scoring as of late, tallied 10 field goals and three free throws for 23 points, the game's individual high.
The Air Force threw a well-balanced scoring attack against the Jayhawkers, Bob Schaumberg, John Judd, and Roger Zoeller scored 15, 14 and 13 points respectively. The difference of margin was that five other Falcons contributed 34 additional points.
The remainder of the Jayhawker lineup accounted for only 16 points.
THE JAYHAWKERS, led by Ellison, Gardner and Dumas, burst to a 28-15 lead midway through the first half, but the Falcons rallied, tied the Hawks, and eked out a narrow 40-39 halftime margin.
In the second half the Falcons threw a slow, deliberate style of play at the Jayhawkers that worked. Kansas was off-balance, and made mechanical errors that paved the way for the Falcons to build a 67-55 margin with eight minutes remaining in the game.
The Javhawkers rallied late in the game, but were unable to turn the tide. The win gave the Air Force 10-3 overall record, while the loss dropped Kansas' season record to 5-9.
JACK STEVENS, Ames, Iowa,
senior, soared over the bar at 14-7 to
break Ken Olsen's pole vault record of
14-6 set in 1960 and Dave Tam's
record set in 1957. The bar was
moved to 15-1, but Stevens was uni-
able to clear it. The 14-7 mark was
the highest that Stevens, who was
set back by a case of pneumonia, has
gone this year.
Six new meet records were set and one school record was broken.
Bill Dotson, cross-country All America, set a new mile run record in the first running event of the evening. Dotson set a torrid pace and easily breezed to a 4:11.5 clocking which bettered his own record of 4:16 set last year. Tom Skutka ran 4:16 in 1958 and shared the old record with Dotson.
Bill Stoddart erased his own record in the 440-yard dash set last year by turning the two ovals in 50.7. His old record was :50.9.
CHARLIE SMITH cleared the 60
Track Team Wins First Meet Easily
Bill Thornton was the meet's only double winner with firsts in the 600-yard run and the 800-yard run. The wins were Thornton's second and third as an individual during his career as a Jayhawker. Thornton's 660-yard time was 1:13.4, his 880 yard clocking was 1:57.6.
The Kansas Jayhawker indoor track squad opened its 1962 season by capturing first place in every event and overwhelming the Pittsburg State Gorillas 92 1/3 to 29 2/3 Friday night in Allen Field House.
"What a Difference a Day Makes" is a recent, popular hit tune, but in the athletic relationship between the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, it's "What a Difference a Year Makes."
yard high hurdles in 07.0, one-tenth of a second under the old record set in 1957 by Dave Freeman of Kansas
These two schools meet again athletically tonight, and if this were a year ago, coaches, players and fans would be wondering what form of unportsmanlike conduct might erupt.
There were two new records in the last two events of the evening. Larry Cordell set a new broad jump standard of 22-5/4 and the Kansas mile relay team bettered its old record by a second.
Kansas was well-received at Columbia Jan. 13 when the Jayhawks upended the Tigers 65-54. Tiger fans cheered heartily for their Bengals, but also applauded the Jayhawkers for their fine plays.
TONIGHT, however, all are expecting to see a hard-fought contest between two Big Eight schools with rich athletic heritages. In all probability the action in tonight's game will be confined to the court, in contrast to contests in which the spectators have joined in with gangplay.

Other first places in the meet were: high jump, Charlie Twiss, 6-1½; 60 yard-dash, Larry McCue, 06:3. 60-yard high hurdles, Rich Anderson, 07:6. two-mile run, Charlie Hayward, 9:30:1, shot put, Yul Ost, 50½: 1000-yard run, Hagan, 2:16.0.
The old broad jump record of 22-48<sup>4</sup> was set in 1957 by Kent Floerke. Kirk Hagan, Tonnie Coane, Dotson, and Stoddard teamed for a 3:27.2 timing for the mile. The old standard was 3:28.2 set in 1957.
There were two injuries during the meet. Doug Stoner, a shot-putter was grazed by a thrown shot as he was walking away from the shotput ring. Stoner was a bit dazed but there were no serious consequences.
This warm reception was the topic of discussion in the Kansas dressing room after the game. Nolen Ellison, KU's high-point man for the night with 28, said that he was dubious of the Jayhawker's reception in Brewer Field House.
Tonnie Coane fell during the 880-yard run, but was not hurt seriously. The Jayhawkers' next meet will be Friday in Allen Field House against a strong Southern Illinois squad.

HE AND SEVERAL other Jayhawker players said that their warm reception in the opening moments of play relieved much of the pre-game pressure. Ellison believed that the Missouri team was fiery of fan-participation also, and were equally relieved when there was none.

A year ago at Missouri before a national television audience KU's Wayne Hightower and MU's Charlie Henke started a slugfest. Both squads and the Missouri fans joined in, and the melee resembled a Fidel Castro-inspired riot.

A sports writer said at Columbia that he was scared to death when the MU fans started jumping on the tables at the edge of the court, and onto the playing area. "I wanted to run and hide," he said, "but there was no place to go. I've never been so scared in my life."
THE SITUATION was equally desperate during the 1960 football season when the KU-MU affair was spiced with post-games fights, and an attack on the KU band.
All personal animosities between the two schools seem to have disappeared. This year's grid contest between the two schools was hard-fought, but after the game, students, alumni, players and coaches realized the outcome was decided on the field, and that no post-game endeavors would change that outcome.
If the two schools can continue the healthy attitude that has prevailed in their last two meetings, there seems to be no fear of more sportsmanlike actions on either side, or threats that the two schools will discontinue their athletic rivalry.
