Lawrence, Kansas:
After about the first fifteen
minutes of play 'Saturday night
the Kansas University Jayhawks
ran away from Nebraska's Corn
p buskers and turned their Big Sev
'cn basketball game into a com
plete rout with an 80-56 win.
In the early moments of the con
test, Nebraska looked much like
the same outfit that defeated
UCLA in Lincoln early in the sea
son, but they couldn't keep the fast
pace and wilted completely.
The final score was 80-56 after a
ery close start which found Ne
braska in the lead only once and
that at 28 to 27, in the early min
utes of play.
Gene Elstun lead the early Kan
sas barrage as he poured in 11
of the first 13 points to give his
mates a commanding lead. Then
Nebraska's Rex EkwaU, junior cen
ter, took over for the Huskers and
with help from Gary Reimers,
Jim Kubacki, and Jim Arwood
the Huskers quickly closed the
0
t ccy
gap.
The' final five minutes of the
first half saw KU hit another hot
spell. With Maurice King and Ron
Johnston leading the way they pul
led away to a 46 to 35 half-time
margin.
The second half, Husker coach
Jerry Bush juggled bis lineup in
a vain attempt to find a scoring
combination, 'but the Jayhawks
were not to be denied.
Ekwall and King shared the
scoring honors with 21 points
apiece. Elstun with 17 and. Lew
Johnson with 13 followed King
While Kubacki was second in scor
ing for Nebraska with 10.
The Nebraska Comhuskers made
it an even split for the road trip,
downing the Oklahoma Sooners 68
61 in an overtime tilt at the Nor
man Fieldhouse last night. The
Huskers bowed to KU Saturday
night, 80-56.
Rex Ekwall, the junior from
Holmesville, once again paced the
Husker quintet, scoring 22 points.
He tallied 21 last Saturday. Don
Smidt followed Ekwall with 16
points. Joe King with 16 and Le
Roy Bacher with 14 took the scor
ing honors for the hosts.
With 9:21 left in the second half,
the visitors from Lincoln,, enjoyed
a 46-45 ilead. Ed Pimkerton put the
Sooners in the lead for the first
time in the ball game, 47-46.
Little Gary Reimers hit a pair
of gift shots to give the Huskers
back the iead, but Bacher tallied
two points, and with six minutes
left, the Sooners were out in front
49-48. Ekwall made it 51-49, but
King nabbed two for OU and the
score was once again knotted.
With the Huskers out in front
55-53, Bacher hit a clutch basket,
and the regulation time ended with
the count tied, 55-55.
Smidt opened the overtime scor
ing with a fielder, but the Sooners
quickly tied the scare! Smidtfs bas
ket was the only one of the over
time for NU. They hit 11 free
throws."
With the tally locked at 59-aH,
the Comhuskers began pulling
away, and with 1:56 left, they en
joyed a 66-61 spread. Reimers
closed the scoring ana wougnt tne
count to its final 68-61 resting place.

Nebraska thinclads dropped a
60-44 decision to Colorado on the
Field House track last Saturday.
Colorado copped nine firsts, set
four records and tied 'another on
their way to the victory. Nebras
ka salvaged sweeps in the shot
put and high jump to retain some
thing from a dismal afternoon.
Larrj Gausman, sophomore high
jumper, remained undefeated to
his event with a leap of 63", set
ting a meet record.
As usual it was Nebraska's in
ability to score in the track events
which cost the meet. The Huskers
outscored the Buffs in the field,
25-11, but Colorado swept the first
two places in the 60 yard, and 440
yard dashes, and added records in
the mile, two mile, 880, and pole
vault, while tying the 60 yard dash
record. The lone track event which
the Huskers coppea was the mile
relay.
Nebraska s next contest will be
a dual against the freshmen to
night. The young Huskers were
defeated, by the Colorado freshmen
in a postal dual meet, 57-47 in
their only test against outside
competition to date. .
Keith, Gardner, sensational Ne
braska freshman from Jamaica,
posted firsts in three events and
tied for first in two others, but
better Colorado balance brought
the victory to the Buffs. Duane
Smith of York won the high jump
for Nebraska with 6'3" and Frank
Morrison took the mile with
4:35.6. :
The freshman vs, varsity meet
looms as one of the most out
standing events in the field house
this year. Marks turned in by
freshmen Gardner, Bennie Dillard,
Charley Wollaston, Dan Farring
ton, Frank Morrison, and Duane
Smith have been either better
than varsity records or compar
able to them.
The meet will give track coach
Frank Sevigne a good look at next
year's prospects.

Nebraska lost a 25-3 wrestling
decision to Mankato State Teach
ers College of Minnesota in the
Coliseum last night The Huskers
could save but one match of the
five run off before a small crowd
of about 100.
Nebraska's team captain, unde
feated Arnold Morton, decisioned
Mankato 's Bob Malcom for the
only Husker points. The match,
one of the evenings highlights, saw
Morton's aggressive tactics out-
score Malcom 10-3. Morton was
never in danger and appears to be
a real threat to the Big Seven 157
pound tide.
Jim Owens, Husker junior, gave
Mankato's Darrell Lands a good
fast match before bowing 6-4. The
match was a real crowd pleaser
with both boys going full tit for
the entire nine minutes.
In an exhibition match, fresh
man Carlin Cooper, a strappling
157, subbed for senior John Cran
cer, who was unable to make the
weight in the 137 pound class and
beat Mankato's Carl Laven with a
fine. exhibition of speed and agil
ity. Cooper, Colorado's state high
school 157 pound champ, will give
coach Don Strasheim an able re
placement for the graduating Mor
ton. v
Jerry Schroeder, Mankato sen
ior, provided the evenings only pin
when he took Husker sophomore
Bob Pickett in 3:68 in the 167 pound
match.
In the best match of the eve
ning, Husker sophomore Dan
Brand was decisioned by Manka
to's undefeated Jr. AAU champion,
Roy M inter, 5-4. Brand led Minter
with 3:56 remaining, but couldnt
hold on to his stockier opponent.
Brand kept Minter off balance with
his pressing attack and unortho
dox style. The match, a close one
all the way,, matched the evenings
two most enthusiastic opponents.
The match was the first for tha
Huskers after two weeks lay off.
Nebraska will travel to Ames, Iowa
for a match with Iowa Teachers
the 25th of this month. They re
turn to the Coliseum for a March
3 meeting with the University of
Colorado. Nebraska's record now
stands at two wins and three
losses.
The loss of Crancer, a two year
letter man, strikes a hard blow to
Husker hopes. Crancer, from Lin
coln, was counted upon for heavy
support in the lower weight di
vision when Nebraska lacks exper
ience. Cancer was one of five
letter men returning to Don Stras
heim's squad.
