Danny's dad ex plains the finer points to hira from the Presnell family box beneath the big time clock on the Coliseum south wall. tfee you in T8, Danny 1 "What's that?" boomed the loud voice from the rear, "Looks like a victim of Pright's disease." Little Joe Kidgeway, high scorer with 13 points in the recent K-State-Husker cage mix, had just trotted onto the Coliseum maples. We still can't drive this tiny fellow Ridgeway from our thoughts. If a more unoffensive and spindy gent ever crosses Dusker niaplesDunkcr doesn't count), we want a first-hand view. Phi Gams Click During Second Half ....

Swiftly counter-attacking on a brilliant second half outcourt bas ket barrage, Ad Lewandowski's Scarlet bucket brigade rallied from a first canto retreat to whip Mis souri 56 to 50 before 4,000 scream ing casaba fans on the coliseum hardwood last eve. Forging a tight man-to-man de fense the Husker paralized the Tiger offense much of the second half and ripped the mesh for 37 digits themselves in moving into third position in Big Six stand ings. Elson Red Hot. Kenney Elson's and steady "Moxie" Young's uncanny marks manship from far out provided N. U. spark. Elson dunked in 14 digits and Young looped in 11. John Thompson hit from the field to ignite the second half fire works, with Young and Heinzel man hustling in two goals apiece and Fitzgibbon scoring from the foul line to make N. U. to net a 32 to 32 deadlock with the stanza five minutes old.

Win 66-38 Slamming two events and win ning four more, Ed Weir's Corn husker track and field perform ers regained a portion of the pres tige they lost at Missouri hands last week by thumping Ward Hay lett's Kansas State tracksters, 66 to 38. beneath the east stadium Saturday afternoon. Long-geared Al Brown oosted the top Husker timine-a of thA day in winning the 440 and 880 events. The former Omaha Ben son speedster brushed aside his supposed "equal" Upham-to score an easy 51-flat quartermile victory. His halfmile timing of 2:00.7 was less than a second from Bobby Ginn's 2:00 record. Al Zikmund, only recently re cruited for cinder duty, was the other top Husker breezed through a fast 6.4 60 -vn rd das,h victory, took second Dlace in the broad jump, and tied for third spot in the high jump. Tossing the iron nellet thre times past the 49-yard mark, Vic Schleich had things all his own way in his pet event. Howard Debus' 46-1 second-dace toss was his top heave of the campaign. Fisenhart placed third to give the Huskers, as anticipated, a sweep in the shot event. Other event Ed Weir's suroris- ing tracksters swept was the high jump, perienally a Husker weak event. Doane transfer Dick Pet ring leaped 6-1 to tie the Wildcat- Husker duel record. Pat Abbott tied with Zikmund for second laurels. if JL
