Dave Robisch continues to dominate the Big Eight in scoring and rebounding with 30.4 and 16.4 averages, respectively.
Robisch sets torrid pace
KANSAS CITY (UPI)—Dave Robisch is towering over Big Eight basketball teams in much the same fashion as some of his Kansas predecessors.
Athetics like Clyde Lovellette and Wilt Chamberlain dominated the conference in the past. And Robisch is following them.
After five league games, the 6 foot 9 in. Springfield, Ill., junior is scoring 30.4 points and collecting 16.4 rebounds each game. Both figures are conference highs.
Robisch, in fact, is on his way to setting a conference scoring record. Chamberlain set the mark in 1958 with a 28.3 point average. Lovellelain nected 28 points a game in 1952.
Chamberlain, Lovellette and Don Smith of Iowa State are the only players ever to win both the scoring and rebounding titles in the same season.
Cliff Meely of Colorado trails Robisch in the scoring derby with a 21.7 average and Iowa State's Bill Cain is second in rebounding with 16.0 per game.

Rodgers adds new assistant replaces departed Weaver
One of the nation's leading high school football coaches, Billie Matthews, was added to coach Pepper Rodgers' University of Kansas staff Wednesday.

The 39-year-old Negro replaces Doug Weaver, defensive end coach for the past three seasons, who resigned to join a Lawrence law firm. Weaver, former head football coach at Kansas State, graduated last month from the University of Kansas School of Law.
Coach Rodgers said the appointment of Matthews will become effective in about two weeks.
