Contest in Last Minute
Iowa State Wins Big Six
9 BY GEORGE MILLER
Iowa State's Ray Wehde and Nebraska's Rodney Cox
hooked up in a personal scoring duel Monday night at the
coliseum, but the Cyclone ace had a more potent support
ing cast and Iowa State handed the Huskers a heart-break
ing 56-54 defeat before 5,500 fans.
A bucket by John
Sheperd
from the right of the free throw
circle with 20 seconds left broke
a 54-54 deadlock and gave Coach
Louie Menze's outfit the necessary
points for a Big Six victory.
It was a pair of Cyclone sub-
stitutes, the only two that got into
the game, that sparked a late rally
to bring the Iowans back into the
lead. A determined Husker spurt
early in the second half had wiped
out the Iowa State 26-23 halftime
y lead.
N John Sheperd, reserve guard,
supplied the points that dumped
the Scarleteers from a shot at a
conference first division berth.
He preceded his game-winning
basket with another two-pointer
which pushed the red-clad visitors
Into a 53-52 advantage.
The other Cyclone sub, Forward
Jim Myers, found the range in the
last six minutes of play and
poured five consecutive points
through the hoop to offset the
Nebraska scoring.
Ray Wehde, who teamed with
brother Roy at the forward spots
for the minners, netted a total of
23 points during the titl, while
slender Rodney Cox came to life
on the coliseum court for the first
time this season as he rattled the
4 bucket with 20 counters,
Husker Swing.
In the first five minutes of the
second half Coach Harry Good's
charges had erased a four point
Iowa State lead and had built up
a 38 to 30 margin. Claude Rether
ford, Bob Cerv and Joe Brown
did their bit in the early surge
after Cox hed kept the Huskers
in contention, with 13 points dur
ing the first half.
However, the Cyclones kept
hammering away at the Husker
lead and knotted the count at 45
all with seven and one-half min
utes to go. A free throw and a
field goal by Ray Wehde pulled
the Ames aggregation even ;with
Nebraska and set the stage for

Athletic System.

good life in a world made good,"
Chancellor Gustavson will discuss
the problem presented by the
present athletic system. "The
problem is whether we are to
have amateur athletics where the
emphasis is placed on the enjoy
ment gained by the players - or

give us the best possible teanjs.
This can be answered by first de
termining what kind of a world
we are trying to get," he stated.
