Scoops on SPORTS

Veteran Boston Celtic star Bob Cousy criticizes high scoring basket- ball in the Feb. 18 issue of Look Magazine.
The title of the article: "High Scoring Has Become Ho-Hum."
COUSY REFLECTS an attitude that this writer has taken toward the game of basketball for several years. Defensive play should be emphasized more.
Cousy also criticizes sportswriters for emphasizing the scoring aspect of the game. This writer, too, is guilty of praising the high scorers and neglecting the defensive aces.
There is nothing as tense and exciting in a basketball game as a stall in the last few minutes of play. The spectator is practically breathless wondering if his team will be able to hold the ball or if his team will be able to steal the ball for that last shot.
NOW WE ARE not advocating a slower mode of play, such that Hank Iba employs at Oklahoma State. Nothing annoys us as much as watching the Cowboys spending a couple of minutes passing the ball.
The Pittsburgh sfgn yelled bloody murder. But, while the game was boring, we could not help but admire the Immaculata coach. He knew his boys did not have a chance to run and shoot against St. Mary's.
There was a high school game several weeks ago between Pittsburgh St. Mary's and Immaculata of Leavenworth. Immaculata controlled the opening tip and held the ball the entire first quarter attempting a shot as the buzzer sounded. It missed and the score stood 0-0.
HIS ONLY CHANCE of winning was using psychology against St. Mary's in the delay game. It took guts to employ this attack and reap the wrath of the fans.
Bobby Jenkins, leading pitcher for Missouri's 1962 Big Eight champions, has been named to the U.S. baseball team for the Pan-American games.
Jenkins, who finished his competition with a 7-0 mark last spring, will report to the American squad's training camp on April 8. The games will be played in Sao Paulo, Brazil during late April and early May.
The straight delay game is no good. It could kill the game of basketball. A happy medium needs to be reached.
College basketball is at a premium. It offers both offensive and defensive stress. It is in the professional ranks that basketball is beginning to lose popularity.
COUSY SAYS there are too many games and suggests cutting the schedule from 80 games to 60. This will help, but more needs to be done. The 24 second rule must be extended. How about to 30 seconds until the last five minutes of each half when there would be no limit.
The 6-10 player, who can shoot and rebound, but not handle the ball would be expendable. The no time limit in the last five minutes of play would give professional basketball a needed and appealing shot in the arm.
MU Pitcher Honored
Pro teams then hold the ball. It would be a match of wits between the superior defensive players and the superior ball handlers.
Field events will start at 7 p.m. with the running events getting underway at 7:30 p.m.
INMAN, who is the Big Eight's outdoor shot put champion, has not fully recovered from a knee operation last summer and will not compete. "He can't put any weight on his left foot," OU Coach Bill Carroll says remorsefully.
Yost, a 32-year-old Yugoslavian, hit his career high in the shot put against Southern Illinois with a 57 $^{3/4}$" heave. This put him fourth on the Big Eight all-time rankings behind KU's Bill Neider. OU's Mike Lindsay, and MU's Don Smith.
The Sooners who won the Big Eight outdoor championship last year suffered a heavy toll at graduation last June and returns only four-and-one-half points of the 101 they compiled in the league meet here.
A BIG BLOW came at the start of the second semester when Anthony Watson was lost due to scholastic ineligibility. Watson won the 100 and 220 yard dashes and the broad jump in the league meet.
The Sooners will field two individual winners from the Lubbock, Tex. Invitational meet. Mike Hewitt, a sophomore high hurdler from Bartlesville, Okla., won the 60-yard high hurdles in :074. Broadjumper Steve Swafford, who missed last year, because of mononucleosis, jumped 23-8 3/4 at Lubbock.
The pair will face formidable opposition in KU's Bill Chambers who has also ran a .07.4 and Gale Sayers, who has jumped 23-2 3/4 in setting a meet record against Southern Illinois Saturday.
Oklahoma's two mile relay team also won at Lubbook in 7:56.9. OU's runners were Neville Soll, Walter Mizell, George Bross, and Dick Neff. The two-mile relay is not run in dual meets, but this is indicative of the Sooners distance strength.
PATRONIZE YOUR ADVERTISERS
The Jayhawkers will return two runners who been out via the injury route. Kirk Hagan, the Big Eight 1,000 yard run champion, has not competed because of a chest ailment. Quarter miler Bill Stoddart has been out because of an injured foot. Still not ready for competition is two-miler George Cabrera, who is still bothered by a leg injury.
Unions Tournament Will Begin Today
The Association of College Unions Region 8 Tournament of bowling, billiards, chess and table tennis will begin this afternoon in the Kansas Union.
Students from colleges in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas will participate in the four categories, with separate divisions in men and women's bowling.
The tournament will last through Saturday.
Several KU students will be entered in each category.
Frosh Defeat Wildcats 86-67
A scoring duel between two former high school teammates and a lopsided Jayhawker victory highlighted the first meeting between the KU and Kansas State freshman basketball teams at Manhattan last night.
KU's Del Lewis and Kansas State's Ron Paradis, both of whom starred for Washburn Rural of Topeka last year, fought it out for scoring honors as the Jayhawkers won 86-67.
LEWIS WAS the games high scorer with 22 points, while Paradis scored 18 points. It looked as if Lewis was going to overshadow Paradis completely as the K-State star had but six points to Lewis' 12 at halftime.
The Jayhawkers trailed in the early minutes of the ball game, but started to build a lead midway through the first half that they never relinquished. KU led at halftime 40-31.
The Jayhawkers had three other men scoring in double figures besides Lewis. Riney Lochmann scored 18 points, Walter Wesley 13 points and Fred Chana 11 points. Chana scored all of his points in the second half.

George Unseld Still Doubtful For Tomorrow Night's Game

In the first game between the two clubs, KU started off slowly, but got rolling in the second half to compile the largest margin of victory between the two schools in history.
The first game saw the debut of Al Correll, who had not competed in two years. Correll was magnificent that night scoring 14 points in addition to spearheading the KU drive with his rebounding, ball-stealing and strong defensive play.
Since that first game, Correll has not been able to perform quite so capably. The 6-3 Philadelphia scored 10 against Oklahoma State.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Field House.
Smarting from two consecutive losses, Coach Dick Harp's Kansas Jayhawkers attempt to get back on the winning ledger against Oklahoma, the team they beat by 31 points 10 days ago.
Both teams were defeated by the league leading Colorado Buffaloes during the past week. The Jayhawkers bowed 62-52 at Boulder Saturday, and the Sooners fell 61-50 at Boulder Monday.
To add to the Jayhawkers' increasing list of troubles is an injury to the team's leading individual scorer George Unseld. The 6-7 center sprained his ankle in practice this week and is listed as doubtful for tomorrow night's game.
In the first KU-OU game, Unseld scored his career high of 31 points. If he is unable to play, the Jay-hawkers may start without a center. It is also possible that Jay Roberts and John Matt may replace the ailing center.
The Sooners have been hampered during the second semester by the loss of Farrell Johnson due to scholastic ineligibility and Jerry Haddock due to a broken wrist. Replacing them is veteran Stan Morrison and sophomore James Gatewood. Gatewood, a 6-4/1 forward from Oklahoma City, is continuing at his forward position, reports OU Head Coach Bob Stevens. Gatewood hooked eight field goals against Colorado Monday night.
Tomorrow night's game will beOU'S 5-9 guard Eddie Evans'last appearance in Allen Field House. Billed as OU'S most spectacular player in history, Evans is also the Sooner top individual scorer.
K-State Shuts Out Kansas Wrestlers
Kansas opened its first wrestling schedule since 1936 last night with rather tragic results.
The Jayhawkers lost. 34-0, to Kansas State in a match at Manhattan.
Top prospects of 21 KU candidates are Gary Duff, Salina sophomore; Fred Elder, Wichita sophomore, and Joe Scholire, Forest Park, Ill., junior.
Duff, an end and kicking specialist last fall, was a state high school wrestling champ. Elder, a tackle last fall, was state runner-up.
Scholle was a state junior college champion.
