Chamberlain was sensational, coring 26 points on 7 field goals and 12 free throws and snagging 21 rebounnds. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sophomore con' tinually amazed the crowd with his ability to leap half way to the ceiling in order to grab rebounds. Kansas jumped off to a quick 4-0 lead on a field goal by Gene Elstun and two charity tosses by Chamberlain. Lyle Nannen hit a long one bander to make the score 4-2 and that's the closest it was all evening. Paced by the fine shooting of v , Elstun, Chamberlain, Ron Loneski : 'and Maurice King, the Jayhawks chalked up a 36-20 halftime lead, holding the Huskers to eight field goals. In the second half, Nebraska began to hit its shots. Led by captain Rex Ekwall, the Huskers eutscored Kansas 34-31, but the damage had been done. Kansas, playing a zone defense for the first time this season, kept the Huskers bottled up and forced them to shoot, for the most part, from the outside. Nebraska had three men guard ing Chamberlain. Every time the big pivot man would move, Ek wall, Ron Parsons and Don Smidt would move in on him. Chamberlain's 26 points led the Jayhawks, but he received help from Loneski with 13 points, Els tun with 12 points and King with 11. Ekwall led the Nebraska scorers With 14 points, while Gary Reim trs dumped 11. In the preliminary contest, the Reds defeated the Whites 59-44.

The meet, held as a prelude to the Kansas-Nebraska basketball game, witnessed eight broken re cords and one tied, as the Husker cindermen avenged their last year's loss to the Buffaloes. Olympic runner, Keith Gardner led Frank Sevigne s crew to vic tory by winning three events and breaking meet records in all three.

Stellar distance runner, Bob Elwood won the mile and two mile events and set a new meet record in the mile run to erase the old mark of 4:26.0 set by Jim Funk of Colorado last year. Bob's time of 4:23.9 shaved nearly three seconds off the old record. Larry Gausman equaled his old mark of 6'3" in the high jump set last year to complete Nebras ka's "record" scoring. The Buffalo thinclads did some record breaking of their own, how ever, as they proved their cinder potential by posting four new meet marks. The Colorado cindermen who accomplished these feats were Jim Blackwell, who set a new meet record of 50' W in the shot put event breaking Cliff Dale's record of 48'9" of Nebraska set in 1953, Charles Smith, who C H 3 Sa 5 can broke Nebraska's Brain Hendrick- son's record in the 440-yard run and set a new meet record of 51:3, and Bob Greenfield, who broke his old record set last year in the 880.

Husker Matmen Win On Busy Weekend Ace Miler Bob Elwood ins First Star Award W Bob Elwood, junior in Teachers College from Elliott, Iowa,' has been named Star of the Week by the NEBRASKAN Sports Staff. He was chosen for the honor be cause of his outstanding perform ance in winning both the mile and two mile races against Iowa State in a dual track meet against Iowa State which the Cornhuskers won 74-30. Both races produced new records for the meet. He covered the mile in 4:22.4 to break the old record of 4:26.42 and came back 40 minutes later to run the two mile in 9:48.9 which bested the oldest mark in Husker-Cyclone history-9:52.4. Winning races and setting rec ords is nothing new to the modest S'll" 150 pounder from the Corn State. He won both the Class C. 880 yard run and the mile run at Iowa's state meet in 1953, setting the mile record with a time of 4:35.1. His time for the 880 was a comparatively fast 2:06. The next year as a senior, he eclipsed his own mile record with a time of 4:32.7. He participated on the winning mile medley relay team which also set a new record. In the 1954 version of the Drake Relays, he entered the high school mile, open to runners of all class es, and beat the previous year's winner, Jerry Walker, by half a stride. His time was a creditable 4:32.2 and gave him one of his top thrills. During his junior and senior years in high school, he won every mile race he entered. It wasn't until the summer of 1954 that he lost in a mile race. He finished second to Olympic Steeplechase runner Deacon Jones in the A.A.U. meet at Omaha. His top thrill along with his vic tory in the Drake relays came in the 1954 state meet. He and five other boys comprised the Elliott high track team, and despite the lack of manpower they won the state meet setting records in the tnile, mile medley relay and the 440 yard relay. Bob continued his winning ways last year in his first collegiate track meet.

Going outdoors, he won the two mile and came in second in the mile against Kansas State. He fin ished second in the mile and two mile in a triangular meet with Iowa State and Colorado. Since last year, he has brought down his times in the mile by over five seconds and in the two mile by over eight seconds. With these much improved clockings, there is no doubt that he will win more than his share of races this f.aw-ywr. J : "'-WW""""'""1" on a coming track season. Robert Elwood was born farm near Elliott, Iowa 22 years ago. He is the fifth child in a fam ily of 8 boys and 4 girls. Track was nothing new to Bob as two of his older brothers participated in state track meets. One brother, Ira, placed in the 440 and high and low hurdles in his school days.
