Jayhawks hit the road
By GARY VICE Assistant Sports Editor
For the first time this season, KU's basketball squad won't hear the familiar pregame public address announcement: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. University of Kansas campus and Allen Field House—home of the Jayhawks."

for games against Fordham in New York City and Kentucky in Lexington.
Those road games, against the Rams toorrow and the Wildcats on Saturday, are another break schedule that includes KU's first test against conference opponents.
AFTER THE 'Hawks eastern swing, they return home for games against Mankato State and Arkansas on Dec. 17 and 18. Then the holiday schedule pits them against St. Louis on Dec. 20 before the Big Eight pre-season tournament in Kansas City, Mo.,Dec. 27-30.
The conference season then begins with home games against Missouri and Oklahoma State on Jan. 8 and 12 and a road trip with Oklahoma in Norman on Jan. 15.
So when classes resume next semester, Kansas coach Ted Owens should have a more informed evaluation of his team's ability.
"WE'LL LEARN a lot about our team in the coming weeks." Owens said. "If we are going to continue to grow as a complete basketball team we'll have to be able to win away from home. And your first road games are always real tough ones to win."
And Kentucky, led by forward Jack Givers and a pair of 6-10 centers, Mike Phillips and Rick Robey, should be KU's toughest opponent of the regular season. The Wildcats, currently ranked fourth in the AP top twenty, rolled over the defending national champion Indiana Hoosiers Monday night, 66-51.
"They're very strong physically and one of the few opponents we'll face that are as big as we are," Owens said. "But what has really helped them this year has been their improved outside shooting with (freshman Jay) Shidler."
FORDHAM, HOWEVER shouldn't pose as difficult harm to opponents like Rums, and the army at hand.
Garden at 6 p.m. CST, were only 7-19 last year.
Although Mankato State won its conference championship last year in Minnesota, the Indians lost their leading scorer in forward Elisha McSeeney, who averaged 22.6, and have yet to replace his offensive talents.
Arkansas, having lost four of its top scorers from last season, is also hurting on
St. Louis, however, has a more dire situation than having lost its leading scorer. The Billikens lack height as only 6-8 freshman John Parker looms above 6-5.
AT THE 31ST annual Big Eight Holiday Basketball Tournament in Coxley Kemper on Dec. 5, the team would round on Dec. 28. To advance to the finals, the 'hawks would have to defeat the winner of the Kansas State-Okahoma State contest in the Big Ten tournament, which will most likely be Missouri.
"We're in the toughest bracket," Owens said. "And for us to win we'll probably have to defeat what I think are our top three players in Oklahoma, Kansas State and Missouri."
“Of course the best things this pre-season tour will provide us is an idea of how we stack up with the rest of the conference. We know our court and play each other you never know.

Reamon has faith in swimmers
Sports Writer
By KEN DAVIS
Despite disappointing performances in the first two swim meets of the season, Kansas coach Dick Reamon isn't ready to push the panic button.
It's not so much that KU is deteriorating as it is that the other teams are getting better. Reason amm in after the Jayhawks and the Eight Invitational Rails last week.
"We knew at the beginning of the year that we had limited personnel and that we locked depth," Reason said. "But we've got to learn to live with what we've got, and that means that we need better efforts from everyone."
relays, spirits and backstroke, all of which have proven to be weaknesses thus far.
SINCE THE start of the season,
Reamont's main concern has been in the
"The thing, I'm worried about now is that the goes kopen their spirits up."
"Jay Arsperger is really the only proven swimmer we have in the backstroke. Jesse Gray and Bill Dostert have both made great improvements in the sprints," Reannon
Time seems to be the key ingredient for this KU team. Reamon has lost the key performers who helped to build a streak of eight, straight conference championships.
"I'd like to have some of those guys back if I could," he said, "Not for scoring points but for their experience and level of maturation.
"ITS WAY too early to tell what this team is going to be like. We really need to do better."
"I'll accept some of the blame for our showing. I loaded our events so that we could talk about it," I had the choice. But the disqualification in the 300-yard intercept upset our plans.
the guys keep their spikes up
KU's next meet is 7:30 p.m. Friday in
Robinson Natatorium. The Jayhawks'
opponent will be Drury College.
DID YOUR LEVI'S BARELY MAKE IT THROUGH THE FOOTBALL SEASON?
DRURY HAS been third in the NAIA the past two years. The team's strength is in the sprints, so the meet will form yet another obstacle for KU.
KU's following competition will be against Missouri in a dual meet here Jan. 13.
