Pag 4 THe Daily Nebraskan Wednesday, January 8, 1964 Rood Awakening By MICK ROOD Sports Editor Shades of October 12, 1963. Isaacson faded back six times in less than a minute. Five complete passes and a six yard lateral covered eighty yards. Nebraska's momentarily achieved three point margin fades to a 17 to 13 defeat the lone defeat of 1963. - Things changed In the new year, It is January 1, 1964. Sidle, by no means Isaacson's inferior, had a tougher chore. Twice the Auburn ace was forced to third down situations and at last the Nebraska rushers and alert secondary broke their pass nemisis and brought an Orange victory home. Nebraska faced similar conditions, opposing a small, fast line and protecting a skimpy lead late in the game. It was a moment of truth for the Huskers ... and they responded like the champions they are. Sports Illustrated was the first to label Nebraska "Giants of the Midway" flits season a handle given the ferocious Chicago Bears of the 1930's and 40's. And an apt name It is. It seems fitting that both teams sporting "Midway Gi-. ants" realized their impressive football legacies within a few days of each other after dry spells of about twenty years. A large but swift line, an alert secondary and a ball control offense gave both teams tight verdicts. Both faced an outstanding quarterback and a formidable defense. The bigger they are, the harder they hit . . . Big Eight basketball predictions appearing here may not be as ridiculous as they looked at the time. Kansas State felt the potential of a dormant Colorado attack while Oklahoma State soundly whipped dark horse Kansas. Missouri looks stronger every time out. They chalked up 84 points with apparent ease without top scorer Ray Bob Carey for the last 13 minutes. The guess here is that no team, with the possible ex ception of Oklahoma State, will escape with fewer than three probably four losing contests. Oh yes. That Cyclone win won't be the last. Look for more. Coach Cipriano's squad still has a lagging defense and a sputtering offense. Better things can and will happen. Student support wouldn't hurt a bit. The cynics might at least turn out to see the other team in this case Missouri Saturday night. It is pathetic when a meager 2,000 show for a varsity game at a university with well over 10,000 students. In fact, students seldom comprise over half the "crowd." It would be interesting to see whether the student body of Nebraska could support a struggling basketball team the way they supported a football team. You can't play football all year long. 1 A) . r m rjrY jr - jr. w . mr FAULT, V0V jMi h First fitw waMRBtstm for A f TA Cmsim PR06f?AM,AN WHcN HE WCVIVtP I HAT, YOU TURNED RlSHT AROUND.

This regional tournament, sponsored by the Association of College Unions, will bring together participants from the states of Missouri, Kan sas, Iowa, and Nebraska.

Monday night Nebraska broke a nine-game losing streak 53 to 52 over Iowa State at Ames while Kansas State, which won the confer ence preseason tournament just before Christmas in Kan sas City, lost to Colorado 60 to 59. Oklahoma State, which lost the tournament championship game to Kansas State by three, romped over Kansas 64 to 48 and Missouri beat Okla homa 84 to 74. With the failure of the pre season winner to take the ac tual conference championship almost a rule in the Big Eight, the fine league balance this year leaves eight prime can didates for conference cham pion. "Slippery Joe" Cipriano's Nebraska cagers took their customary halftime lead Mon day night, but they held their own in the second half to break a seven-game losing streak to Iowa State. Iowa State played without its high scorer, Al Koch, who was hurt several days ago in practice. The Cyclones, who entered the Nebraska fray with a 4 and 6 record after being nearly unanimous picks for last .in the conference, scored the first nine points of the second half but couldn't successfully navigate a delay game starting with about eight minutes to go. Harold Cebrun led both teams with 16 points. Kansas State outrebounded the shorter Buffaloes 48 to 38 and hit 42 per cent of its field goal attempts to 37 per cent for Colorado, which means the Buffs must have done a lot of shooting. Kansas State led by 14 with 11:47 left to play. Roger Suttner, Kansas CLASSIFIED ADS PERSONAL SLEEP -LEARNING. HypnMUml Tape. reeortU, books, equipment. Aitoniahlnc details, strange catalog free!

State's senior center at seven feet tall, had another medi ocre (eight points) perform ance Monday night, and even dependable Willie Murrell's career high of 35 points couldn't pull out the game, No other Wildcat scored in dou ble figures. Colorado, which tied Kan sas State for the Big Eight championship at 11 and 3 last year and had the league's best overall record of 19 and 7, was expected to be weakened this year with the loss of Ail- American Ken Charlton and three-year lettermen Milt Mueller and Eric Lee. Old pro Hank Iba's Okla homa State Cowboys made a lucky 13 of 13 free throws in the first half, taking a 35 to 24 lead, and added five more points to the bulge in t h e second half to subdue Kansas 64 to 48. Junior guard Larry Hawk, who scored 20 points Monday, is performing as expected. Last year he was his team's top scorer with an average of 13.2 points per game, making UPI All Big Eight. He averaged .486 from the field last year and made over 74 of his free throws in mak ing 329 points, giving him a good chance of becoming the fourth Oklahoma State man in history to score 1,000 points in a season. Bob Kurland leads with 1669 points. Missouri continues to look like a possible "dark horse." When scoring leader Ray Bob Carey fouled out with 13 min utes to go Monday night, Ray Price and George Flamank took up the slack by scorching the nets for career highs of zi and 21 points respectively. Oklahoma's balanced attack of 11 scorers couldn't make up for the Tiger stars. Nebraska plays Missouri nere Saturday night.
