Mat Coach Pleased With Team Despite 24-5 Defeat By Omaha
Despite the Jayhawk wrestlers' 24-5 loss to Omaha last night, Coach Terry Shockley said he thought the team had shown steady improvement from the first of the season and he was pleased with the progress they had made.
The Omaha matmate beat the KU grapplers in every weight division except the 177-pound class. The Jaya-hawks' Dick Davy won that class by a 7-4 decision over Omaha's Will Sheepard.
The other two KU points came as the result of a draw between Mike Morgan of KU and John Gerrad of Omaha in the 137-pound class.
"Davy was very strong in his class." Coach Shockley said. "Morgan was in fine shape, too."
Coach Shockley cited the performances of Davy and Morgan.
"THE OMAHA team was very good. They are well coached and have good depth. I knew they were going to be strong."
Coach Shockley said he thought the Jayhawks were doing very well for their first year in varsity competition.
"Our boys have improved so much from the beginning," Coach Shockley said. "It's really hard to believe. You can't fight experience like the Omaha boys have, but there is no comparison of the way our boys are wrestling now and the way they were at the first of the year."
Wichita Cagers To Play Drake
The Wichita Shockers, by beating North Texas Monday night, earned a chance for an N.C.A.A. berth as they wound up their season's play tied with Drake in the Missouri Valley.
Wichita will play a one-game playoff with Drake Friday night in Allen Field House.
The Wichita cagers beat North Texas 90-83 in a shooting spree before a sell-out crowd of 10.704 in Wichita. Dave Stallworth led the Shockers' offense as he scored 34 points. Stallworth won the conference scoring title for the second straight year, beating Ron Bonham of Cincinnati by seven points.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP was Wichita's first since joining the conference in 1945. Drake tied with Oklahoma State for the crown in 1939.
The Shockers finished their season with a 21-5 season's record, second best in the history of the school.
Drake finished at 20-5, best in the history of the school. Both teams finished at 10-2 in the Missouri Valley.
The winner of the playoff will advance to the Midwest regional tournament at Wichita March 13-14, and will go up against the winner of the Creighton-Oklahoma City first-round game scheduled to be played in Dallas Monday.
Officials at the 17,000-seat Allen Field House say the game will be sold out by the latter part of the week.
Tickets for the playoff contest are now on sale in Allen Field House.
The ticket office announced that all tickets for the game would be general admission and no seats would be reserved.
The tickets sell for $3 for adults and $1 for grade school, high school and university students. University students must present identification to purchase the tickets at the lower rate.

"OUT OF the 27 men out for wrestling now," Coach Shockley said, "all of them will be back except (Phil) Doughty. We have a number of very promising freshman wrestlers and we have great expectations for the team next year. While this year has not been a successful one from the standpoint of meets won, it has been successful from the standpoint of improvement."

The Jayhawk wrestlers are preparing to enter the Big Eight Conference championship meet March 13-14 in Stillwater, Okla. Coach Shockley said he thought either Iowa State or Oklahoma State to be the best bet for the title.
"I think." Coach Shockley said, "Iowa State or Oklahoma State will win the championship. Iowa State is ranked number one in the nation right now and Oklahoma State is ranked number two, so it looks as though it will be between those teams."
Coach Shockley said this is the first year that the Big Eight will
have a full complement of eight teams participating in the championship meet.
FRED ELDER, KU heavyweight, lost his second decision last night to Jim Jones of Omaha. Elder incurred his only other loss when he met Tinkler of Fort Hays State earlier in the season. He wrestled to a draw with the heavyweight from Kansas State in his only draw match of the season.
