the left of target and bounced
off the rim leaving the Ne

Kansas State, 70-69, last night
in the Coliseum.
The six-foot field general of
Nebraska's yearlings was
pressed by the clock as he
got off the "last hope" shot
from just beyond the key.
With 20 seconds remaining
in the battle, Bill Matan sent
the Wildcats to a 70-67 lead
by way of a 'couple charity
shots.
Gary Haas, the All-Stater
from Lincoln High, closed the
gap with a quick layup and

Leading at the half, 14-13,
the Sigma Nu's outscored the
Phi Delts 19-16 the second

throw.
The Nebraska first-year
men bounced back from a
38-42 hahtime deficit and took
command, 45-44. a minute and
a half after the intermission
break. And. under the firing
of Jack Cramer, Haas and
Joel Kortus, worked the lead
to 53-50 with just under 10
minutes remaining.
Under the guidance of Sam
Robinson, the 5-10 Kansan
who made up for his lack of
height with springy leaps, the
'Kittens took advantage of a
couple Nebraska blunders and
tightened the battle, 60-60,
with 6:40 to go.
Robinson's fast break and
layup a few seconds later
gave K-State the advantage.
And the visitors were ahead
to stay following a Robinson

Haas's 21 points was game
high and sent the 18-year old
forward to the bead of the
final freshman scoring chart.

By DAVE WOHLFARTII
Sports Editor
Kansas State's Wildcats
were a mighty hungry crew
as they brisked into the Col
iseum and chomped Nebras
ka to the tune of 84-60 be
fore 5.500 fans last night.
Kansas State had been tied
with Colorado for the Big
Eight iead till the Wildcats
ran into a red-hot Oklahoma
State crew, which handed
K-State its second conference
loss Monday night and
knocked Winter's charges
down a notch in the league
standings.
The 'Cats were anxious to
get back to their winning
wavs in case Colorado might
lose its finale to Kansas and
K-State and CU would then
tie for the title.
Strong Second Half
Kansas State riddled the
Huskers with a 45-point sec
ond half effort after leading
39-31 at intermission.
The loss ended a disappoint
ing Husker cage season on a
sour note as Nebraska
dropped its 16th game of the
year against only nine wins.
NU finished with a 5-9 con
ference mark, good for sixth
place in the Big Eight.
Fnruard G a r v Marriott
narpd Ihp ccrnnri' half Wild-
cat onslaught after big Mike!
Wroblewski had sparked
K-State in the first half.
Marriott, connecting from
the outside for most of his
points, scored 15 of his game
high total of 19 in the second
half to pace the Wildcats as
they forged ahead.
Wroblewski, 6-8 pivot, hit
16 points in the first half be
fore running into foul trouble
in the second stanza. Wrob
lewski wound up with 18
markers.
These two made the big
difference but the overall
team play of the Wildcats far
surpassed that of the Husk
ers, who once again per
formed poorly before the
home crowd.
Kansas Slate took the lead
with less than three minutes
gone in the game and never
relinquished their advantage.
Wroblewski's hook with 2:12
gone put KS ahead 6-5 and
from there the 'Cats upped
their margin to 24-10 halfway
through the first half before
Nebraska got rolling.
NU Cuts Deficit
The Huskers began to cut
down the 14-point bulge, big
gest Wildcat lead in the first
canto, as Daryl Petsch
canned two outside shots and
Bill Bowers added a layup to
make it 24-18 with 9:46 left.

led 30-21 with over six min
utes left in the half.
Coach Jerry Bush's Husk
ers closed the gap to three
points at 34-31 on the free
throw accuracy of Charley
Jones and a bucket and two
charity tosses by Bowers.
A Husker fast break with a
little more than two minutes
left in the first period ap
peared to cut the Wildcat
lead even more but Bowers'
layup attempt rolled out
amist calls of Kansas State
"goal-tending" by Nebraska
fans.
Wroblewski's last two bas
kets in the first half and a
free throw by the Wildcat
gunner gave Kansas State the
39-31 intermission lead.
The second half was just a
race for Nebraska to keep
within twenty points of the
fast-moving K-Staters as Win
ter cleared his bench midway
through the second stanza.
The K-State subs continued
the rout as they increased
the margin over NU and Kan
sas State owned its biggest
lead over Nebraska at the
end of the game 84-60.
For Nebraska, the only
highlight of the game was the
offensive display by Bill Vin-
Cent, 6-7 soph center
Vincent, displaying some
aeacuy accuracy ior a Dig
man iruin uie uuisiue, was
high scorer for Nebraska
with 15 points, on six field
goals fmost of them long
hooks or jump shots) and
three for five free throws.
Russell Breaks Record
NU's Tommy Russell, who
had played so brilliantly in
recent Husker games and
was threatening several
new scoring marks, had an
off night in his last game as
a Husker, but still managed
to contribute 11 points.
Russell did manage to
break one record. His five
for seven free throws broke
Herschell Turner's free throw
record for one year by a Ne
braska player. Russell wound
up the year with 140 foul
line successes, shattering Tur
ner's mark cf 136, set in
1958-59.
Russell, along with seniors
Rex S w e 1 1, Bowers, and
Bernt Elle, were playing their
final collegiate basketball in
the Husker finale.
Petsch hit 12 points and
Bowers added nine for the
Huskers. Jones 'was the high
Husker rebounder with nine
rebounds as Nebraska outre
bounded the Cats, 42-37.

Soph Gymnast Won 3 Events m Meet
By JERRY BRUNK
Sports Staff Writer
Husker gymnast Dennis Al
bers has been given the Star
of the Week Awnrd for his
outstanding performance last
weekend in the Air Force
Academy and Colorado dou
ble dual meet.
Albers took top honors in
the free exercise, trampline,
and tumbling and also picked
up second places in the high
bar and side horse in the
duals which Nebraska won.
As a sophomore this year
he has been very outstanding
and dependable by leading
the. team consistently in
points with 275, and is very
tough to beat in good compe
tition.
Denny is a sophomore in
the college of Arts and Sci
ences with a major in
physics.
Hastings Grad
He hails from Hastings
High School where he was a
standout in gymnastics and
he also particpated in track,
lettering three years in eacn
sport.
Albers believes that the
gymnastic team for this year
was just a little under par
because they never really
reached their peak. Still the

a 8-2 record.
His prediction for next year
is that the team will be bet
ter, because they should be
potentially stronger than this
year.
The high point of Denny's
career came when he was a
senior in high school. He won
the all-around competition
award, which is called a
pentathlon award at the' State
Gymnastics meet. The award
is given to the gymnast who
scores the most points in any
five events during the meet.

Coach Hornsby Issues Call
For NU Bowling Candidates
By JIM MORGAN
Sports Staff Writer
"Attention bowlers! If you
have a 180 or better average
and are interested, come out
for the NU bowling team."
These are the words of Jim
Hornby, Student Union
Games Manager and bowling
coach. Although currently
third in the Big Eight league,
Husker bowling appears in
for scm3 sad days ahead.
Five out of the top seven keg-
lers on Hornby's squad are
either ineligible or have
dropped out of school this se
mester.
Nebraska has had a bowl
ing team since the Union
Lanes were completed. The
bowling schedule starts in
early November and runs
through late March.

of winning are very good if
everyone does good on their
routines.
Coach Jake Geier'g re
marks about Albers' success
were, "He is still growing in
the field of gymnastics. This
year, being his sophomore
year, could be considered his
formative year by setting up
a routine basis for what is
coming in the future years.
"By the time Denny is a
senior he should be a good
country gymnast. I have been
very satisfied . with his ac
complishments thus far, but
I think most people have ex
pected too much of him for
this year. I am also very
glad to see Denny chosen as
Star of the Week because he
has been a team leader all
year by scoring a total of 275
points."
In April there is a Big
Eight league . tournament
which last year was held in
the Union Lanes!, with the
Huskers emerging champs.
This year the tourney will be
held in Boulder, Colo;
The keglers are in a postal
league. In this method both
teams ' roll their games on
their own home lanes and the
results are mailed in to the
league secretary. The secre
tary compiles the results and
sends them back to the re
spective teams.
The keglers are currently
third in the Big Eight with
an 18-0 record. They are
higher in individual achieve
ments with Victor Bejot hold
ing the high game mark of
278 and the team owning the
high team game standard
with 1151.
The Big Eight League is rec
ognized by the A.B.C., but
bowling is not considered as
an intercollegiate sport by Ne
braska. Hornby is trying to get the
sport recognized by the Uni
versity but because of the ne
cessity of occasionally com
peting on public lanes it ix
frowned upon.
