Varsity - Frosh Cagers Travel To Nebraska
The Kansas Jayhawker basketball team will be seeking to end another losing streak at the expense of the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln tomorrow night.
The last time the two teams met, the Jayhawkers ended a three game losing streak by defeating the Cornbushers 73-53. The Jayhawkers presently have a four game losing streak.
Nebraska will be playing its first game since Coach Jerry Bush announced his resignation effective July 1. The NU coach disclosed no plans, but he said he would remain in Lincoln.
Guard Nolen Ellison may break into a coveted circle of six former Jawhawk players who have scored 1,000 points in their college careers. He needs only 10 points against the Cornhuskers to reach the goal.
Nebraska will be seeking its first Big Eight victory. The Cornhuskers have lost nine consecutive games and are embedded firmly in last place. The Jayhawkers are one place ahead of Nebraska with a 2-7 conference record.
Saturday night may be the Cornbushers last chance to chalk up a victory in conference play. Never in the history of the school, has its basketball team failed to register at least one league victory.
The KU freshmen suffered a loss in practice Wednesday afternoon when forward Steve Renko injured his ankle. It is not known if Renko will be able to play in tomorrow night's game. Fred Chana, 6-6 forward, is Renko's replacement.
Owens announced early in the week that Loyce Bailey, a football halftback from Topeka, would start at the one guard position in question. Bailey scored seven points in the freshmen's "86-67 rout of Kansas State Wednesday night.
The other starters include Riney Lochmann at forward, Walter Wesley at center and Delvey Lewis at guard. The freshmen close their season at home Tuesday evening in a return engagement with Kansas State.
KU Swimmers Meet Sooners
The flu bug, a pair of boxing gloves and a strong University of Oklahoma team face the KU swimmers in a triangular meet with the Sooners and the Air Force Academy in Norman Saturday.
Three Jayhawk tankers, Ron Marsh, Bob Simpson, and Pete Barham, may not compete in the OU meet, Coach Dick Reamon said.
He explained that Simpson, a freestyle, is currently in the hospital with the flu, and Barham, freestyle, is taking tests on the possibility that he might have mononucleosis.
Reason added that if the diving event at OU cannot be changed to an earlier time on Saturday, Marsh may have to be scratched because he has to catch a plane out of Oklahoma City to Chicago for the National Golden Gloves boxing tournament.
The KU swimming mentor said another swimmer, Ludy Harmon, backstroker, will probably not be at full strength since he just finished a bout with the flu.
Reamon commented that Oklahoma will be tough, but he felt the Jayhawks, despite a loss of manpower, would be ready.
"We'll do the best we can," he said. "But actually, these small meets are just practice. We're pointing towards next month's conference meet. That means everything to these boys and they have been working to get ready for it."
Reamon announced the Kansas lineup for the OU triangular: Bill Mills, 50, 100, 200-yard freestyles and 400-yard freestyle relay; Mike Calwell, 200, 500 freestyles and 400 freestyle relay; Bill Murdock, 200 breaststroke; L. P. Jeter, 200 freestyle, individual medley, 400 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay, and Don Buckholtz, diving.

The Cronies utilized the scoring of Lee Meyer and Mike Berkley and the rebounding of Stu Shandalove to build a nine point lead in the third quarter after a halftime deficit of two points.
THE WESTERN'S Mike Wolfe was the Cronies chief menace as he scored 19 points and controlled the backboards when Shandalove was not in the game. Berkley, Meyer and Shandalove scored all but two of the Cronies points in the second half.
Carl Nelson scored 15 points and H.I.D.K. held the Guzzlers top score Terry Ekberg to eight points to win its finals berth.

Indoor Track Team Meets OSU, K-State Tomorrow
The field events will start at 7 p.m. with the running events getting underway at 7:30 p.m.
The KU indoor track team will host the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Kansas State Wildcats in a triangular meet tomorrow night in Allen Field House.
THE MEET will be the last for all three teams before the Big Eight indoor meet in Kansas City next Friday and Saturday.
Frosh Track Team Runs This Afternoon
The Jawhakers are expected to be at full strength for the meet. The only question mark is veteran two-miler Charlie Hayward who has a leg injury, Hayward, who has been bothered by a long siege of illness, ran a 9:57.7 against Southern Illinois and Pittsburg State. He improved his time to 9:47.9 against Oklahoma Friday. His best indoor time is 9:02.5 which he ran last year.
Rogers failed to make the K-State basketball traveling squad this winter so he reported for Coach Ward Haylett's track squad. His decision bolstered the Wildcat's meager corps as Rogers has jumped 6-5, which was good for first place at Michigan State.
KU pole-vaulter Floyd Manning will face a severe test when he meets Oklahoma State's Mickey Baller. Manning's meet high is 14-6%, but he has gone 14-9 in practice. Baller, who is predicted to join Jim Graham, Aubrey Dooley and George Davies in the Cowboy annals of great pole-vaulters, has been vaulting around the 14-9 height this year.
Another two-miler, George Cabrera, will test his injured ankle for the first time this season. Cabrera was KU's leading cross country runner in the fall.
The KU freshman track team will host a combined squad from Hutchinson, Iola, and Coffeyville Junior colleges, plus Pittsburgh State yearlings, in its first of two indoor track and field duals this afternoon in Allen Field House. Gun time for the 60 dash trials is 4 p.m. with pole vaulters and high jumpers scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.
MILER TED RIESINGER will see action again after missing the Oklahoma dual with a lame hip. He will face the conference's leading miler, Kansas State's Pat McNeal, who set a school varsity record of 4:12.7 in the Michigan State Relaws.
The KU high jumping trio of Ron
Swanson, Charles Twiss and Tyce Smith, will face a major threat in their specialty when they meet Steve Rogers of Kansas State.
HURRY! ENDS TONIGHT!
