Sizzling Kansas
Goes To K-State
Manhattan, Kans. Elim
inated from the Big Eight
basketball title picture, Kan
sas State still hopes to have
an effect on the champion
ship when the Wildcats c'ose
out their home season by fac
ing the sizzling Kansas Jay
hawkers this Saturday (March
5). Tipoff before a sellout
crowd in Ahearn Fieldhouse
and a seven-station, statewide
television audience is set for
7:40 p.m.
Kansas, deadlocked for the
conference lead and ranked
nationally, enters the contest
on the heels of a 110-73 thump
ing of Nebraska last Satur
day. The Cornhuskers jumped
back into a share of the pole
position by turning back
K-State 79-69 Tuesday night
to mathematiclly douse already-slim
Wildcat hopes.
The Jayhawken, 11-1 In
Eight play and 20-3 overall,
have defeated K-State twice
this season. KU recorded a
69-433 victory at the pre-sea-son
tourney in Kansas City
and posted a 6941 decision
at Lawrence. The Wildcats
are assured of third place In
the conference, currently
standing 8-4 in the league and
13-10 for the year.
With the addition of Jo Jo
White and the switch of Al
Lopes to forward, Kansas
has been playing its best
basketball of the season since

Going into the last weekend
of Conference action, both
Kansas and Nebraska are
tied with 11-1 records. Both
have two games to play, one
on the road and one at home.
Kansas' games are Saturday

Oklahoma State (2-10).
If either team sweeps its
remaining games while the
other loses one, the play-off
will be unnecessary, with the
Big Eight winner moving
right into the NCAA regionals
at Lubbock, Texas (Texas

day, March 11 and 12.
The Big Eight representa

Clash
Norman, Okla. Two
fall conscious collegiate
wrestling powers, Iowa State
(11-1) and Oklahoma (15-1)
clash here Friday in a dual
rated so close that neither
may score a pin.
"Neither team can win
more than five bouts," pre
dicts Coach Tommy Evans of
Oklahoma. "It'll be as close
as our Oklahoma State duals."
Dr. Harold J. Nichols' Cy
clones, d e f en d i n g NCAA
champions, have registered
39 falls in 12 duals. Coach
Tommy Evans' Sooners have
43 falls in 16 duals.
Only defeat for the Cyclones
was a 22-12 loss to Oklahoma
State. Oklahoma divided with
Mvron Roderick's Cowboys,
14-15 and 17-12 but in the lat
ter match the injured Fred
Fozzard did not wrestle or
the Sooners might not have
severed State's undefeated
string of 84 straight.
Oklahoma needs one more
fall to surpass its 1960 record
of 43 pins but may have to
wait until the prelims of the
Big Eight tournament to get
it.
The Cyclones, excellent mat
wrestlers who ride and con
trol well, have proved their
pinning ability, too. They
scored six falls each against
Purdue and Kansas. In the
latter dual, Tom Peckham,
NCAA 177-pound champion,
and heavyweight Steve Ship
pos scored back-to-back 16
second falls over their Jay
hawker opponents, a school
record.
Peckham, with nine falls,
leads the visitors who wrestle
Colorado State University at
Fort Collins Tuesday and Col
orado at Boulder Wednesday
and may annex additional
falls before coming on to
Norman Friday.
Iowa State leads the series
14-13-2. Nichols' powerful
teams have beaten the Soon
ers four straight years, 21-3
last year, 23-3 in 1964, 19-16
in 1963, 20-11 in 1962 and the
1961 dual was a draw, 14-14.
Oklahoma has not won since
1960 when Evans first team
prevailed 17-11 at Ames.
The card bristles with class.
At 167, Greg Ruth (15-0-1),
Oklahoma's NCAA champion,
tangles with all-victories Vic
Marcucci (10-0) of the Cardi
nal and Gold. At heavyweight
Steve Shippos (9-0) of Iowa
State and Luke Sharpe (14-1)
of Oklahoma mix.
Challenge bouts between
Mike Sager and Sam AI-Kar-aghouli
at 137 and Jerry
Stanley and Dickie Haxel at
145 may alter Oklahoma's
lineup.

Rangy
Problem For Nebraska
With the conference title
hanging in the balance, Ne
braska's Cornhuskers travel
to rugged Colorado for a
Saturday night engagement.
The rangy Butts play a
rough and tumble type of
game, and in their own camp,
high in the mountains, be
come twice as tough to con
tain.
Going into the season, Colo
rado looked to have three out
standing sophomore candi
dates but no playing room
for them. Injuries to starting
guards Pat Frlnk and Lynn
Baker coupled with front
line scoring problems at the
forwards opened the door
quickly.
But onlv one rookie, Chuck
Williams, took quick advant
age of the opening. Williams
has been a regular all t n e
way and is one of the Big
Eight's finest sophomores
a sterling passer and play-
maker and capable, though
not prolific, outside shooter.
The other two rookies, for
ward Ted Erfert and guard
Mike Rebich, however,
weren't quite eady for the
ODDortunitv and suffered
throgh most of the season
with normal sophomonsh
problems.
Both have made good
progress, though, and their
play in the two games over
the weekend is one of the
most encouraging develop
ments of the season for
Colorado.
Rebich, a deadly outside
shooter as a prep player at
Denver Abraham Lincoln and
top-scoring CU freshman a
year ago, hit 7 out of 12 against
Missouri and 7 for 11 against
Oklahoma, his best scoring
nights of the season.
Erfert, a 6'8" frontliner
with great potential, ham
mered in three straight
baskets late against Missouri
before going out on fouls. He
moved to a starting role
against Oklahoma and scored
14 p o i n ts, grabbed 14 re
bounds, and plaved a major
role in the Buff's comeback.
Erfert's performance, in
Seaton II beat Fairfield 601
to 50 Wednesday to capture'

Seaton will battle the winner
of the Abel Hall league next
week to see who will meet the

Harry Wilson led his Fair
field team in scoring with 18
points. Freeman White got 16

scoring honors for Fairfield
with 15 points.

Simmons tallied 15 against
Kansas State to run his sea
son total to 351 points in 23
games this year for a career
total of 820 presently good
for the No. 4 spot on the All
time Nebraska list. He's aver
aging 15.2 and if4ie can match
that against Colorado and
Oklahoma State hell wind up
with 850 which would rank
him behind Herschell Turner
and Rex Ekwall.

1958-59-60 era, heads the all
time list with 1,056, while Ek
wall scored 880 from 1955
through 1957.
Other top-ranked scorers
are Jim Buchanan (821, 1950

CiDriano eave Nebraska its
first winning season in 16
years, and in only three years
at Nebraska has built a title
threat.
Tall Walt Wesley of Kan
sas, the league's top scorer
for two years, and Grant
Simmons, Nebraska's quar

Sophomore of the year and
a solid first team choice was
Don Smith, 6'8" Iowa State

Joining him on the first
team were Chuck Gardner,
6'7" Colorado veteran, a con
sistent scorer and the number
two conference rebounder;
and 6'1" Delvy Lewis, Kan

Jayhawks could least afford
to lose.
The 6'11" Wesley has been

Already over the magic
mark are Simmons (351), Tom

(311). Stuart Lantz needs only
13 points (he has 289) to make
it a foursome.
Only nine Cornhusker play
ers on the Top 12 list have
ever tallied 300 or more in a
single season.
The list includes:
Herschell Turner (428 In
1958, 382 in 1960)
Rex Ekwall (312 in 1956, 307
in 1957) ;
Jim Buchanan (400 in 1952)

1949)

Daryl Petsch (369 in 1963) :
Bill Johnson (382 in 1954)
Tom Russell (300 in 1961
and 412 in 1962)
Albert Maxey (384 in 1959) ;
Maxey is the only Nebras
ka player to ever join the 300
club as a sophomore and
make the top 12 list.
Fred Hare became the sec
ond Husker to tally over 300
as a soph last season he led
the club with 380 but he's
been hampered by injury this
year and has only 142 points;
shooting accuracy is better at
.523.
"Walter is the best big man
in college ball," said Coach
Ted Owens.

Iowa State standout Henry
Whitney, a high leaper like
Smith.
Little Lewis, from Topeka,
Kansas "is the kind of boy
