Wildcats Give Up
Swim Competition
Kansas State abandoned its
swimming scheduled for the re
mainder of the school year, the
University of Nebraska was in
formed Friday afternoon, because
it was unable to find enough
swimmers to organize a squad.
The Huskers were slated for a
journey to Manhattan and a dual
at the Wildcat pool Monday.
Athletic Director Thurlo Mc
Crady also cancelled a Saturday
meet with Kansas and earlier had
dropped a dual with Colorado.

the floor Saturday, fouled out
after nine minutes with the Hus
kers ahead 37-33, the game ap
peared to be in the bag.
But the Coloradoans got the
best of a free throw exchange and
went ahead 41-40 on Beseman's
charity shot with four minutes re
maining.
Lawry then potted two free
shots and Retherford hooked in
a field goal to put the Huskers
ahead to stay.
WITH NEBRASKA leading 44
41, the trouble started. One of
the referees called a technical on
the Buff bench, claiming that
their trainer tripped Husker
guard Bob Cerv as he was drib
blingdown the sidelines. The ball
ended up under the Colorado
basket, where Beseman and
Lawry had their bout.
By the end of the game, both
teams were sufficiently cooled off
to shake hands and leave the floor
quietly.
"Frosty" Cox was a good sport
to the end. Not once did he voice
disapproval of the officiating,
which in itself is a tribute to his
forebearance. His team played
good ball, certainly better than
the Husker's brand much of the
time.
