The series should prove to be the highlight of a very successful Pel campaign. The KU cagers en ter the contcsls with an 11-won, Most conference record and a to tal of 17-1 for Hie entire season. The battle with the Cavemen not only gives the firm of .Moore, Nilcs, Robinson, Peterson, llor rera and Company a chance to nail down another SOC champion ship: it also is an opportunity for them to avenge themselves for the only blot on an otherwise per fect record, the earlier-season de ; feat dealt them by the upstart Grants Passers. ft ft ft ft .ft ft KU COACH DON MEGALE JoTJiili nffensivi. ,(rf,n in 4hl.

Forward Bob Peterson, guards Smiley Herrcra and Don DeLap are the only "regulars" to return next year. Coach Don Menale. alter watch ing his charges round out their week long preparations for the up coming tins seemed enthusiastic over their penormances and op timistically slated, "The boys' spirit and attitude teems the best of the whole season. I feel we can expect one of the best all-out team efforts of their careers." Activities In the Pelican gym this past week have included stress on a zone offense, fast break and board positions. The Pel rebound ability has improved considerably over some of their earlier efforts. The scrimmages also included hard work on some new offensive patterns as well as stiff practice on man-to-man de fense. Starting tonight for the KU quin tet at forwards are big Bob Niles. who has uncovered an astonishing ability to score from the outside os well as handling more than his share of backboard work and Rob Peterson, who although a junfor, is one of the most competent work men on the court, Handling the suard slots Will be Dave Robin son, who has regained his tempo rarily lost scoring eve to continue os the most feared outside man on the KU squad and diminutive sparkplug Smiley Hcrrera, the sharp-passing little nlavmaker who contributes greatly to the Pel scoring tnrust with his ball han dling ability. Guards Tom Ankeny and Don DeLap will serve as ever ready bench strength in addition1 lo the balance of the younger Pelican squad. Ankeny has shown marked improvement since the first of this season and can always bo counted on lo hold his own. DeLap is valuable in his abil ity to spark a comback when needed and has proved himself a true-clutch performer. Coach Gordon Prelim's lineup will include Jerry Piilnam. Jim Smith. Dick Hayes, Mike Sparlin and Paul Lindquist. Kred Thom as. Pete Proctor and Chuck Hem bert are reserve strength that will undoubtedly see a good bit of ac tion. Sparlin. Lindquist, I'ulnnm and Smith spearheaded the Cave man attack in the first two games with the Pels and wcr? the decid ing actors in the Pelican's only loss.

Heavys Head TV Ring Bout NEW YORK un The Latin American division of the heavy weight class dominated the scene at Madison Square Garden tonight when Cuba's Nino Valdes faces Argentina's Alex Miteff. The bout is very important for both fighters. Valdes, the only man to knock out Joe Lrskine hopes to vault toward a title shot Miteff, flattened by Mike DeJohn wants to prove he belongs with the rated heavies. Valdes, 33, a veteran of 57 pro fights since 1941, was pulling lor Erskinc, the British champ, to de throne Ingemar Johansson, the European king, in Sweden today. "It make me look better," was Nino's reasoning in favor of a victory for Erskine whom he dis posed of in one round a vear aeo ii trsKine neats Johansson, he is supposed to get a crack at Floyd Patterson's world title. But you can be sure Nino will be in there screaming if he whips Miteff. The 10-round match is so inter esting that the odds are even. Since bombing Erskine. Valdes has outpointed Johnny Holman ana knocked out Jelf Dyer. His record is 41-14-2. Miteff blazed through 12 straight pro fights without defeat until he bumped up against DeJohn in Syracuse. He went out in one, Oct. 9. Alex came back to stop Bob Graves and Tony Gagliardo in his two outings since the DeJohn match. His record is 14-14. The match will be carried on network (NBC) radio and televi sion, starling at 10 p.m. EST. Two judges and a referee will score it by rounds, using a supplemental point system in case of even rounds.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Somebody finally did something about Seattle's Elgin Baylor and came within a wink of upsetting the Chieftains, too, in major col lege basketball. Montana State held Baylor to a mere 23 points, reducing his na tional scoring lead to three-tenths of a point, last night, but with a little bit of luck. Seattle stretched its winning string to 12 games wilh a 77-76 decision. For a change, it wasn't Baylor who supplied the heroics in Seat tle's late surge for a postseason tournament bid. This time it was Jim Harney, a 5-10 senior, who got the job done, sinking a 30-foot set shot with nine seconds left as the Chieftains came from three points behind with les than a minute remaining. Baylor now has '677 points for 20 games and a 33.0 average. Idle Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson, the runnerup. has a 33.6 average on 706 points in 21 games. While Seattle (14-41. ranked 17th in The Associated Press poll, con tinued its pursuit of either an at large berth in the NCAA cham pionships or a return to the Na tional Invitation Tournament. Mi ami of Ohio and Tennessee Tech moved closer to' reserved spots in the NCAA. Miami, with. Wayne Embry scor ing 32. rapped Ohio University 86 72 and now needs just one more victory to clinch no worse than a share of the Mid-American Con ference title. Tennessee Tech, though idle, snared at least a tie for the Ohio Valley Conference crown when last-place Eastern Kentucky knocked off runnerup Morehead 91-72. Both conference champions get an automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs. Notre Dame, ranked No. 10 and the at-Iarge pick that will face either the Mid-American or Ohio Valley in the NCAA's Mideast re gional, breezed to a 93-77 deci sion over New York University. St. Louis geting a close look from NIT selectors, clobbered St. John's of New York, named to the NIT field today, 105-92 in the opener of the Madison Square Garden doubleheader. Oklahoma State, ranked No. 8 land apparently given a kiss of 1 death when the NCAA picked the Cowboys as an at-large entry, was knocked off 52-48 by. Oklahoma. It was the third consecutive de feat for the Cowboys since they were selected. Massachusetts spiked Holy Cross' tournament hopes, . defeat ing the Crusaders for the first time since 1926 as Ned Larkin counted two free throws and a layup in the last 29 seconds for a 64-60 decision. South Carolina had just one field goal in the last 4'z minutes, but sank 11 straight free throws ! beat Clemson 61-60 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Furman built and blew a 17-point lead, but de leated Richmond 88-82 and kept alive a hope for a Southern Con ference tournament berth.
