Cansas State Tramp
oozer, Elcwall Turn
By GEORGE MOYER
Copy Editor
The home court was no advan
tage to Nebraska's hapless Corn
tmskers Monday night as they lost
81-56 to Kansas State.
Nebraska never even had the
satisfaction of pressing the Wild
cats, who romped to their eighth
straight win. Kansas State ran
eleven points before Nebraska got
into the scoring column.
After Bob Boozer, former Omaha
Tech star dropped a free throw
for the first Wildcat point his
teammates Jack Parr, Don Matu
Jsak and Roy DeWitz used a fast
break offense to put Kansas State
safely out of reach.
Nebraska looked helpless the
first half. They were forced to
shoot Over a tight Kansas State
pone defense and wound up with
horrid 18 per cent shooting aver
age from the floor. Kansas State
shot a robust 41 per cent and left
the floor at the half leading 43-22.
Nebraska decided to get into the
ball game the second half. The
Huskers equalled the scoring pace
set by the Kansans and, sparked
by captain Rex Ekwall, who
played a tremendous game, poured
in five straight points at one time.
Gary Reimers hit a long shot to

Kansas State, principal chal

basketball title, is scoring its vic
tories more decisively than any
other team in the league.
Conference statistics for games
to date show that the Wildcats, de
fending champions and firmly
lodged in second place for the 5-2
record, have an average spread of
12.3 points over their opponents.
K-State has averaged 66.9 points
per game, while its foes have

shave the Kansas State lead to
55-35 with fourteen minutes left in
the game. However, Boozer and
Parr soon regained command of
the situation and from then on the
game was routine.
Parr's beautiful soft hook and
fadeaway jump shot netted the
6'9" junior 25 points. He si so
grabbed fourteen rebounds to tie
Boozer for the lead in that depart
ment. Boozer played only part
time and still grabbed 23 points.
The big fellow used a deadly hook
with either hand and a sky-scraping
jump shot to demoralize the
Huskers from close in.
Rex Ekwall turned in his high
est total this year. The lantern
jawed senior made 18 points to
boost him just that much closer
to the all-time Nebraska scoring
record. Ekwall also grabbed 11 re
bounds to lead the Huskers in that
department too.
Kansas State surprised with a
good fast break. Eddie Wallace,
Kansas State's fine play making
guard was in a large measure re
sponsible for its success. The little

Charlie McAfee made one of his
rare appearances at guard for Ne

form, dribbling with either hand
and passing behind his back. His
deception broke him free for two

apparently left his shooting eye at
home, because he missed all of
them.

Perhaps the most underrated team in the country at this point m
the basketball season is Kansas State. The Wildcats added the sev

humiliation of a good Oklahoma City team. .
Led by Omahan Bob Boozer and 6'10" center Jack Parr, K-State
is the nhlv team in the Big Seven which still has a chance to thwart
Chamberlain U's bid for the Big Seven
Ranked seventh, in pre-season polls ana nigniy ramteu mc mi
weeks of the season, K-State fared poorly in the Big Seven Holiday
Tournament and early conference play during Parr's bout with the
flu. Without Parr playing at full strength, K-State lost games although
Boozer scored 92 points for a momentary record in tournament play.
During their mid-season slump, the Wildcats dropped out of rank
ings. However, with the team back at full playing strength, Kansas
State has lived up to pre-season predictions and now has a 5 won
2-lost record in Big Seven play in addition to its seven straight wins.
Saturday, the Wildcats play eighth-ranked Iowa State. If K-State
can defeat the Cyclones, and I believe they will, the Wildcats will

Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.
Nebraska track fans will have
their last chance to see coach
Frank Sevigne's youthful team in
action indoors. The Husker thin
clads will be going after their
fourth" straight dual win without
a loss. On this occasion, the Kan
sas State Wildcats will provide
the opposition.
Kansas State like Nebraska is
led by a group of outstanding
Sophomores. The Cats have won
two triangular meets and lost to
a strong Missouri team 66-37.
Ward Haylett, K-State coach is
very happy over the early sea
son performances of his team.
Against Missouri the K-State team
had six sophomores who placed
either first or second. These men
figure to give Nebraska a tough
test. One outstanding prospect is
Dolan McDaniel who runs the 60
yard dash. McDaniel has had out
standing competition in his college
career running against such men
as Thane Baker, Bobby Morrow,
and Ira Murchison. These three
men were the U.S. Olympic repre
sentatives in the 100-Meter event at
Melbourne, Australia last fall.
