Huskers Meet K-State in Big Eight Tourney;
NU Has Never Finished Higher Than Third
By Bob Prokop
The Big Eight basketball
firing line gets underway at
7:30 a.m. Dec. 27, when the
Huskers take on the Wildcats
from Kansas State in Kansas
City's Municipal Auditorium.
This game features the win
ningest club in this pre-sea-son
tournament vs. the cel
lar dwellers.
The pre-season tournament
of the Big Eight conference
teams started in 1946 when
Southern Methodist University
copped the crown and has
since been won by Big Eight
teams, Kansas University and
Kansas State, both winning
the trophy four times.
The team to beat this year,
according to NU Coach Jerry
Bush, is Kansas State with
the Colorado Buffalos close
behind. The tournament prom
ises to be one of the closest
events held in the Big Eight
conference this year.
The eight coaches in session
at Kansas City for their an
nual clinic declared to the
press: "From top to bottom
the teams of our conference
will be as good or better than
last year. In every instance,
with the possible exception of
Kansas, the teams will be
stronger than last year."
Five Take Titles
Over the past ten years,
only five tournamftit winners
have gone on to win clear
cut championships in the
league race with Kansas, the
1953 winner, sharing the
crown in the 1953-54 confer
ence race.
In the 1949-1950 conference
race, the crown was shared
by Kansas, Kansas State, and
Nebraska. In the pre-season
tournament that year, Kan
sas State finished third, Kan
sas, sixth, and Nebraska, sev
enth. Probably the most fabulous
player ever to play in the Big
Eight, Kansas' Wilt Chamber
lain, holds numerous records
in this classic. He scored 45
points in one game, 106 points
in three games, and holds
field goal record of 18 in one
game and 40 in a tournament.
Chamberlain also has the dis
tinction of missing the most
tree rnrows in a game and
a tournament. 12 and 27.
Lovellette Tops Scorers
Another familiar name in
the annals of basketball play
ers, Clyde Lovellette, scored
222 points in all the meets
that he participated in. Bob
Boozer, transplanted Omahan
who played for Kansas State,
scored 16 free throws in one
game, 40 for a tourney, arid
49 in his career during the
Big Eight tournament for rec
ords. Five players fouled out of
every game during a tourna
ment but the most unusual
mark held in this field be
longs to Jack Friostad of Col
orado who fouled out of a
game against Iowa State In
43 seconds.
