ACUI's tournament attracts KU entry
Participants from 20 Midwestern colleges and universities converge on Manhattan this weekend for the ACUI Intercollegiate Recreation tournament.
Warren Boozer, recreation manager of the Kansas Union, took an 18-member KU group to the regionals—which began eliminations this morning. The competition closes tomorrow afternoon, followed by an awards banquet Saturday night.
Competition runs the gamut from the rapid-fire exchanges of table tennis to the deep concentration of chess in the Region 11 eliminations, hosted by Kansas State. Events include men's and women's bowling, billiards, table tennis, chess and bridge.
The Association of College Unions-International (ACUI) sponsors 16 regional meets to determine qualifiers for national competition. Region 11 includes all accredited colleges or junior colleges in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Included in the KU entry is Robert Brook, defending regional champion in three-rail billiards. The Brooklyn, N.Y., graduate student finished second in the national competition last year at Morgantown, W. Va.
Boozer sees a good chance for his KU bowlers to capture team honors. That event will be completed tonight.
Outlook bright
"The competition in our travelling league is as strong as any we'll find in tournaments," Boozer said. KU shares first place in the men's division and ranks second in the women's
division of the Mid-States Travelling league.
The men's squad takes impressive averages into the regionals: Don Holman (192), Ron Mick (190), Steve Zimmerman (190), David Goodpasture (187), and Bill Bott (185).
Runner-Up in 1968
KU placed second in the men's team event last year, just 34 pins shy of No. 1 Emporia State. In Boozer's first year here (1965), KU men had three of the five best averages in tournament play—and still did not win the team event.
The addition of Baker University transfer Pat Brune (175) has bolstered the women keglers. Judy Heal (179), Gloria Edwards (158), Kay Coder (155) and Brenda Chancellor (150) will also compete for KU.

"Only the bowlers with the top 9-game averages, men and women, qualify for the national tournament," Boozer explained. Individual champions of the 16 ACUI regionals compete in the collegiate division of the American Bowling Congress and Women's International Bowling Congress professional tournaments.

The KU lefty also has a personal pique to settle in this return match with the Tigers. Robisch scored just six points in that tight 47-46 Kansas loss at Columbia—the only time all year Robisch has been kept out of double figures.
Kansas goes into the Missouri game with an 18-3 overall record and in excellent position to attain a fourth consecutive 20-victory campaign. Monday, KU defeated Oklahoma State,
Jayhawks seeking revenge in Mizzou game tomorrow
KU's Jayhawks - still in the thick of the Big Eight basketball race after a pair of cliff-hanger triumphs in Oklahoma, return to Allen Field House tomorrow afternoon to meet Missouri.
KU's Robisch, whose volleys of 23, 26, and 16 points have propelled the Jayhawks to three straight wins since the departure of All-American Jo Jo White, now leads Coach Ted Owens' outfit with an 18.7 scoring average. The 6-9 sophomore has connected on 52 per cent of his field goals.
Two highly-competitive southpaws, Doug Johnson of Missouri and the Jayhawks' Dave Robisch, have been recent leaders for their respective clubs.
The border rivals tangle in their televised scrap at 2:10 p.m., following an 11:45 a.m. preliminary between the Kansas and Missouri freshmen.
The 6-5 Johnson muscled in 24 points against Nebraska Tuesday night—his seasonal high—to lead a 79-60 lashing of the huskers. The 24-year-old ex-Marine, a 10.2 scorer, has been more consistent of late and carries Missouri's fanciest marksmanship rating (53.5 per cent) into Saturday's shindig.

45-41, in a game reminiscent of some of the storied Jayhawk-Cowpoke defensive struggles bygone days.
The two-game sweep in Oklahoma pushed KU's conference record to 7-2 and only a half-game behind league-leading Colorado (7-1). The Jayhawks could take over the lead with a Missouri victory along with an assist from Kansas State, which hosts Colorado tomorrow night.

Tom Johnson's two free throws after the buzzer. Guard Theo Frankss made the 20-foot jumper with eight seconds left that dealt KU its first Big Eight loss this season.
Mizzou's Johnson and his stablemate, 6-4 Don Tomlinson, give the Bengals a couple of stout rebounders up front—while Robisch teams with 6-10 Roger Brown as the Jayhawks' formidable counter-threat.
Whichever tandem dominates the action tomorrow could well provide the winning momentum.
