KU Meets K-State Tonight
Season records and team personnel are of little importance when the Kansas Jayhawkers and the Kansas State Wildcats renew their basketball arch-rivalry.
Tonight, the two Kansas schools meet for their 147th time in the series which dates back to 1907. Game time is 7:30 p.m. in Allen Field House.
THE GAME IS an important one for both teams. As a result of Iowa State's victory over league-leading Colorado, the Wildcats now have a chance for the league title, but must win to keep their hopes alive.
The Jayhawkers, who won the Big Eight pre-season tournament in December, have since managed to win only two games, while losing seven. As Coach Dick Harp says, the Jayhawkers are fighting to retain their self-respect. A victory over the Wildcats would help.
The Wildcats also have a grudge to pick concerning the finals of the Big Eight tournament. The Jayhawkers won 90-88 in four overtimes, and Coach Tex Winter's five have not forgotten that night.
THERE ARE several sidelights to the game that promises to make it one of the hardest fought battles this season.
First, KU guard Nolen Ellison is nearing the 1,000 career point total, which only six KU players have managed to make.

MUCH OF THE Jayhawkers' hopes rest in George Unseld. The 5-7 center injured an ankle in practice last week and is still not running at top speed. He played in the
Another question mark is that of Al Correll, 6-3 forward-guard. Correll joined the team at mid-season and has season highs of 17 and 14 points. A sterling performance by Correll would give the Jayhawkers a much better chance of upsetting the Wildcats.
The Wildcats will bring a well-balanced club into the contest. Their leading scorer is 6-6 Willie Murrell who is averaging 18-6 points per game. Murrell, a junior college transfer, is playing his first season in the Big Eight.
GARY MARRIOTT, 6-5 forward, has been bothered by injuries throughout the season, but has still managed to average 14.1 points per game. Mariott is in peak condition for tonight's game.
Having the task of guarding Unseld is 7-0 center Roger Suttner, who is averaging 9.6 points per game. Suttner could not stop Unseld in the tournament meeting between the two clubs as Unseld scor- the crowd depends mostly on the ed his then season high of 28 points. student turnout for the game.
