Nebraska downed Wyoming
Thursday night. 77-66 for their sec
ond straight victory as a pair of
gharpsnooting little guards dueled
it out for high point honors.
The two guards, Wyoming's
Tony Windis and the Husker's
Gary Reimers, kept the crowd
gasping as they amazed with a
variety of difficult shots. Windis
broke through an apparently tight
Nebraska zone defense for layups
time after time while Reimers hit

When Kansas State basketball
forces arrive at Indiana's Field
house Saturday they should be
awarded ipecial medals for bra
very. They have been Hoosier
humbled five straight times in that
10,000 seat cage palace, and on
four occasions the Wildcats were
shell-shocked by defeats of 20
points or more.
Last time Coach Tex Winter
could rally his troops for the bat
tle it turned out 96-72 with Indiana
never in doubt of the outcome.
In 1953 the Hoosiers took a 26
point win; in 1948 it was 20 points;
and back 1936 in the first of the
scraps it was worst of all at 27
points.
The four wins K-State has been
able to salvage from the 10-game
series have all come outside of
Bloomington. The annual home-and-home
series started in 1950
with the inauguration of K-State's
Ahearn Fieldhouse.
The yearly game probably has
served up more basketball thrills
than any other non-conference
scrap on the Wildcat docket. Typi
cal of earlier games was last
year's overtime battle at Manhat
tan in which the 'Cats scrambled
to an 84-77 decision after the score
was knotted 73-73 at the end of
regulation play.
Hoosiers Beaten
Although they were upset, 76-68,
by Ohio U. last Monday, the Hoo
siers rate at least as strong as
last season when they shared the
Big Ten crown with Michigan
State. Archie Dees, 6-8 forward
and center, is back to lead the
scoring. He led Big Ten point
makers with 25 points a game last
season, and was voted the loop's
most valuable player. Dees, who
ran at center all the way last
year, has been scooted to forward
to make room for sophomore
Frank Radovich, 6-7Vi standout, at
center. Other than Radovich, how
ever, the Hoosiers show a veteran
lineup. Paired with Dees at the
forwards is Jerry Thompson, 6-4V4
senior. Starting guards are Pete
Obremskey, 8-3 senior, and Gene
Flowers, 6-2 junior. That gives In
diana a height average of 6-5,
shading K-State's 6-4'4 average.
Same Lineup
For K-State there seems little
reason to change the lineup which
started the 76-31 rout of Texas
Western last Tuesday. Starters
then were forwards Bob Bozer
(6-8) and Hayden Abbott (6-3),
center Jack Parr (6-9), and guards
Roy DeWitz (6-3) and Don Matus
tak (6-0).
As if the Indiana game weren't
enough to worry about, Wildcat
Coach Tex Winter has only two
days following it to prepare for
a game at Purdue, another Big
Ten biggie. K-State meets the
Boilermakers at Lafayette Mon
day night (Dec. 9).
Purdue, too, can average 6-3
among the starters. Included is
Bill Greve, 6-5 junior who totaled
303 points last season to lead his
teammates, and 6-10 sophomore
center John Kamman.
"We rate Purdue every bit as
good as Indiana," said Coach
Winter. "They split with the Hoo
aierc last season and won five of
their first six Big Ten games.
Purdue has god height and scor
ing potential. Greve is a tremen
dous ballplayer, and he has plenty
ef help. They have three of last
eason's top five scorers back."
The Indiana and Purdue games
are two of four the Wildcats have
with Big Ten foes this season.
They meet Iowa (Dec. 14) and
Minnesota (Jan. 6) in Ahearn
Fieldhouse.
the keyhole. Windis eventually cap
tured leading scorer laurels with
29. Reimers had 23.
Nebraska hopped to an early
lead with Don Smidt hitting a set
shot from the top of the circle. It
was the second straight time Smid
has hit the first bucket.
With 19:14 left in the first half
Reimers stole the ball to put Ne
braska out front by four. Then
Wi.dis and Don Carlson began
hitting for the Cowboys to give
them the lead briefly at 6-4 and
11-9.
Nphraska speed and dead-eye
shooting began to tell on their
lanky rivals however, and with
four minutes left in the first half,

Hirsch Turner hit a beautiful jump
shot from close in to hand the
Huskers a 31-23 lead. 5
That man Windis went at it
again just as the half was ending,
scoring four points in a quick flur
ry. Nebraska needed Wayne Hes
ter's long set shot, a beautiful cast
from approximately 35 feet away,
to lead at halftime, 36-30.
If the first half had left anyone
doubting the eventual outcome, the
early minutes of the second half
chased all thoughts of a possible
Husker defeat from the minds of
the roughly 5,000 spectators filling
the Coliseum. Nebraska opened the
half by scoring nine points while
their opponents were still shaking
the atmosphere of the dressing
room from their shooting eyes.
With 14:10 left Nebraska boomed
to 50-38 margin scoring well from
the inside and outside and moving
the ball with the finesse of a pro
team, Nebraska demonstrated how
devastating their running offense
could be when worked to perfec
tion. With seven minutes on the
clock, Jim Kudacki's jump shot
made it 70-50 for the Red and
Husker coach Jerry Bush began
to substitute.
The substitutions broke the spell
which had mesmerized the Cow
boys and Windis went off on an
other tear. In two and a half min
utes, Wyoming scored ten points
to shave Nebraska's margin to
72-60, and Bush began to return
his regulars to action. A little
ball control plus free throws by
Turner (2) and Bob Mayo and a
drive-in by Lyle Nannen kept the
contest safely out of enemy hands.
Bush Active
From the looks of things during
the game, Husker coach Jerry
Bush has been spending some time
Husker Box
with Jake Geier's gymnastics
team. The officials spent a lot of
time calling walking on Nebraska
which provoked various antics
from the demonstrative Bush. Wy
oming's coach, Everett Sheltun,
preferred to register his com
plaints to the refs by waiting until
they were in his vicinity and then
walking down the sidelines to snarl
in their ear.
Reluctant Player
Pete Hook, Wyoming forward
who finished next to Windis in
scoring, with ten markers, spent
the first half running on and off
the floor. He left and returned
so many times that when a sub
stitute appeared for center Don
H a 1 1 e ri. Hook automatically
strolled off the floor and had to be
coaxed from the bench to keep
the Wyoming lineup at quorum
strength.
Huskers Hit
Nebraska had a good night from
the floor, hitting 45 per cent of
their shots. The Huskers were get
ting the pasy ones and making
them count which may explain the
greatly improved percentage over
Tuesday's encounter with South
Dakota State.

Opponent team.
After the Buffs played Nebras
ka, Colorado coach Dale Ward
called Brown, "a fine player. He
looked real good on defense - for
Nebraska. I think that knee oper
ation has slowed him down from
last year. He did not hit the holes
as quickly."
It was the second year in a row
that Brown has been given this
recognition.
Joining the Husker star in the
backfield are quarterback Wally
Strauch of Kansas and halfbacks
Dwight Nifhols of Iowa State and
Clendon Thomas of Oklahoma.

Don Stiller and Joe Rector of Ok
