PARSONS HAS 9 POINTS Manhattan Quintet Captures Second Successive Big Six Victory. Bouncing back into the lime light and thrusting: the Husk ers into semi-obscurity a rejuv enated Kansas Aggie basketball team barely nosed out the Brownemen 25 to 24 in a thrilling overtime victory which was heart breaking to the Scarlet's hopes of capturing the Big Six conference cage throne. Leading throughout the major portion of the .contest the Corn husker basket flippers were re pulsed by the desperate Wildcat team in the dying moments of the game. With less than thirty sec onds to play the score stood 23 to 22 with the Brownemen out in frdnt and then a double foul was committed by Ralph Graham and Bud Parsons. Parsons failed to tally and Graham eased his over the rim to tie the count just before the game ended. Overtime Period Hectic. In the extra period Lunney. fouled by Morgan, came through with a free throw raising the Husker stock by one point. Then with only one-half minute remain ing and the teams playing man to man in a state of desperate frenzy, Ralph Graham slipped through the Scarlet defense to sink a hurried shot which slipped through the net for the winning goal. Lunney, who played well during the entire contest and ran up a total of 7 points to gain recogni tion as the second high scorer for the Nebraska cause, Parsons lead ing with 9 points, had just put the home cagesters out in front by vir tue of two field goals late in the fourth quarter, 23 to 18, when Freeland, of Kansas State who was fouled when in the act of shooting, made good both chances at the gift basket to 6et up the pins for Ralph Graham's shot. Boswell and Copple each had a total of 4 points to their credit be fore the tilt was terminated. The loss of this tilt considerably dims the chances of the Browne men for the conference tillo and thrusts them out of the contest for the titular throne. This coming Saturday the Scar let maple quintet meets the power ful University of Wyoming cage outfit. Wyoming, coached by Les Witte, former Nebraska football and basketball star, has achieved national fame for their prowess on the maples.
