KU Gets Four Wins In Iowa Tournament
Bv Bob Jones
By Bob Jones (Assistant Sports Editor)
B. J. Hember, Fairway junior, by winning her third straight trip to a national bowling tournament, led a team from the Kansas Union to four first places in the Region Eight Tournament of the Association of College Unions at the State University of Iowa.
Another first place was won by Judy Cordonier, Kansas City freshman, when she won the regional women's table tennis championship. Coach of the Kansas Union, entry, Bascom Fearing, said that only the region championships are played in table tennis, so there was no national tournament for which Miss Cordonier could qualify.
The chess team of James Dukelow, Lawrence graduate student; Charles Marvin, Lawrence senior; Williard Remmers, Topeka graduate student; and Jeffery Tharp, Wichita sophomore, won the team championship for the region.
In addition to winning the return trip to the national tournament, Miss Hember won the regional women's pocket billiards championship, and will go to Phoenix, Ariz., for the sectional plavoffs.
By bowling a 1581 all-events score, Miss Hember placed second in the regional tournament, and earned a third trip to the Association of College Unions' National Bowling Tournament in Minneapolis, April 11, 12 and 13.
The only men's honors picked up by this year's Kansas Union team were in chess competition.
In 1962, the first year of the women's national tournament, Miss Member won the tournament. In 1963, she placed second.
A third first place was recorded for the Kansas Union when the women's doubles bowling team of Miss Hember and Lyle Griffith, won regional honors.
Fearing said entries in the men's billiards and table tennis tournaments did well with several entries reaching the semifinals before bowing out of competition.
The four firsts recorded by the Kansas Union team equalled the number of firsts received by the Iowa University team, giving them a tie for the most first places received in the tournament.
Singled out for special efforts at Iowa by Fearing were Sally Isham, Shawnee Mission junior, in women's
bowling, and James Wilkey, Newton sophomore, in men's bowling.
Easton added that Sayers will be a welcome addition to the squad with his ability as a sprinter.
With the Big Eight Conference championship meet rapidly approaching, Bill Easton, head track coach, has become a very busy man.
Both of these people were the No. 5 bowlers on the teams, but Miss Isham placed 10th in the women's all-events standings, beating two of her teammates, and Wilkey, who was a last minute substitute for an ineligible member of the team, was second among all KU bowlers at the tournament.
Coach Bill Easton has announced that Gayle Sayers, All-American halfback and an excellent sprinter has joined the track roster.
Sayers Joins Track Squad
The conference showdown is February 28-29 in Kansas City.
Sayers participated in indoor track last year, but quit for spring football and did not come out for track this year.
It is Easton's task to prepare his team to compete against what he has termed the toughest bunch of teams ever assembled in the conference.
Easton's indoor squad is, as yet, undefeated in competition this season. The final meet of the season, with Kansas State and Oklahoma State, will be Friday evening in Allen Field House.
Coach Easton said Sayers probably will see little action until the outdoor track season begins.
"K-State is up somewhat," Coach Easton said, "from where they were. Oklahoma State has some of the best middle distance men around and perhaps the best mile relay team in the conference."
Talking about the meet Friday Coach Easton said he thought competition will be hot in certain events.
Tyce Smith, Cherryvale junior, who has set three consecutive Allen Field House records in the high jump, will be the top man in KU field events. Smith's hghest jump was 6-83%.
Now averaging 26.2 points a game, Pino leads a K-State squad which has a record of 2-3.
Nick Pino, the highly-publicized 7-1 center for the Kansas State freshman team, will play at KU tonight when the freshmen Wildcats take on the Jayhawk frog at 7:30 p.m. in Allen Field House.
Since KU's Ron Franz is also averaging over 20 points a game, a battle of centers is forecast for the game.
Pino to Play Frosh Team
Freshman coach, Ted Owens said KU was making no special preparations for the game, but if Pino begins giving the team trouble, adjustments would be made during the game.
When asked about Pino's playing ability Owens said, "I've seen him play a couple of times, and he has a good shooting touch."
"He is not real fast," Owens continued, "but, he is further along at this stage than Roger Suttner was as a freshman." (Suttner is the 7-0 center starting for the K-State varsity.)
The probable starting lineups for the game are:
Kansas: **Stilling** (6-1) F G. Kansas State:
Mike Finklin (6-1) F G. Jackson (6-5)
Ron Franz (6-7) C Nick Plain (7-4)
Cick Plain (7-4) K schreuder (5-11) M McCormick (6-0)
HANGIN' AROUND—Bill Maness, Lawrence junior, does his routine on the free rings. Maness is the captain of the KU gymnastics team which faces Central Missouri State tomorrow night at 7:30 in Robinson Gymnasium. The KU gymnastics team won its last two matches from Wichita and Kansas State.
