By Harry Argue
scramble is always sour med
trine to have to swallow. The
defeat at Kansas last Satur
day was certainly anything
but an exception.
Somehow though, the loss
was just a slight bit easier to
gulp because of the Kansas
crowd's conduct after the
fame. I fully expected that
they would engage in a good
ly amount of boasting, gloat
ing and general rubbing-it-in.
This only seemed natrual af
ter they had just bumped Ne
braska from the top spot and
taken it, themselves, and es
pecially since the Jayhawkers
had been in the habit lately
of squeezing out two-point
wins. I suppose I also just
mistakedly thought that they
would act like our dear
freinds at Colorado and Mis
souri Only vBe incident
J Aside from natural vocal in
terchanges between the two
schools during the game, the
only incident I heard of came
Saturday afternoon at a Law
rence beer drinking establish
ment Reports have it that the
place was swarming with both
red-clad Huskers and Hawks.
There seem to have been oc
casional fracases when some
KU faithful unsuccessfully
tried to relieve the Nebras
kans of their red hats. Still,
this was minor compared to
past Instances at other
schools. ;
The thing that most im
pressed me was that after the
game, from what I saw, the
Kansans were truly gracious
winners. They seemed quite
tbsnkfnl for the victory. One
gentleman from KU who I
started chatting with seemed
almost ashamed that they
had won when I Informed him
I was from here.
He said the game had sur
prised him, thought the out

Loss cushioned
I think the intensity of the
loss was also cushioned by the ;
fact that it wasn't totally dev- j
astating to our Big Eight;
chances. It only left us half a J
game back of the Hawkers,
and like the man said, KU;
still has to come here. j
On that subject, the sched-!
ule remaining certainly j
doesn't favor Kansas. They!
also have to play at both Ok
lahoma schools and Missouri,
whom they already lost to at;
Lawrence. Their only home
games are against the other j
two conference contenders,
Kansas State and Iowa State, i
If this doesn't put us in a fa-j
vorabie position for the title, j
it at least increases the
chances of our being part of
a first place tie. With the
play-off game for the Big
Eight's NCAA berth played
on a neutral court, we would
then have at least an eves
shot at taking it all.
So, while the loss to KU
made it a long drive back
from Lawrence on Saturday
night, it was shortened
by thoughts of the still decent
possibility of a trip to the

It's getting awfully easy to
be a sportswriter m Big Eight
basketball.
In writing an advance, all
you need to do is to -y that
coach Smith's Spiders -avel
to Homesville for a do-or-die
contest with the league-leading
Homesville Hosts. Coach
Smith said, "This is going to
be a very tough game for us.
We've got to win this one if
we want to stay in the tight
league race."
But all cliches excused, the
Big Eight basketball scramble
has come to that: any of four
teams could represent the con
ference in the NCAA tourney
in a few weeks, and every
game between new and the
tourney is equally important.
Husker coach Joe Cipnano
knows he must worry just as
much about meeting cellar
dweller Colorado Saturday as
he must about preparing for
the league-leading Kansas
Jayhawks next Tuesday.
And he knows that Monday
night's 82-73 win over the Ok
lahoma State Cowboys was as
big a win as either of the next
two might be.
For, without that win, the
next two would mean very lit
tle outside of putting another
mark on the win side of the
won-loss record.

Then he might talk about
Nebraska. "I was pleased
with the team leadership we
got in the second half Monday
night. Lantz and Scantlebury
especially worked the ball
well for us. Discipline and
team play like that is going
to have to carry us the rest
of :he way. We've got to have
it."
As he said, the Huskers had
it the second half against the
Cowboys. But the first half
was a real scare for NU fans,
as the O-State crew came out
looking as if they'd left Henry
Iba at home and were finally
having a field day.
The normally slow, methodi
cal Cowpokes came on like
gangbusters fast-breaking
and getting the quick inside
shot and built up as much as
an eight-point lead over the
slow-starting Huskers.
Trailing at talf
Trailing 40-33, NU used a
Tom Baack corner jumper
and a Tom Scantlebury driv
ing layup in the closing min
ute of the first half to move
up to a 40-37 intermission
bulge.
It was a different game af
ter the break, as Cip's team
rn off 15 points to OSU's six
during the first five minutes
for a comfortable 52-46 lead.
For some reason, the Cow
boys then went back to their
slow work-for-it offense,
which, combined with a fine-ly-precisioned
Husker stall,
killed any Cowboy hopes of
regaining the lead.
Lantz put pn a superb per
formance for the 8,200 noisy
partisans. Besides winding up
game's top scorer at 25 points,
three times he brought the
fans to their feet as he leaped
high to grab an outside lob
and slammed the ball through
the nets while in mid-air.
The Cowboy's faster tempo
threw the Huskers off a little
at first, Cipriano admitted.
"We didn't expect them to
come out that strong. But they
played slowly against us the
fiist two times this year and
lost, and probably felt they
had nothing to lose from
changing the pace." -
Scantlebury second
Scantlebury backed Lantz
up with 20 points, constantly
improving center Dale Von
Seggern hit for 11 and Tom
Baack was far below his aver
age at 10, along with Bob Gra
topp. Gratopp had something of a
letdown offensively off his re
cent performances, but that
didn't seem to dim the enthus
iasm of some 200 Geneva fajis
d o w n for "Bob Gratopp
Night."'
Little 5-9 Gene Hawk and
6-7 Bill Christopher wound up
leading O-State with 16 points
apiece. The two had really
hurt the Huskers during the
first half. Hawks from the out
side and Christopher under
the boards.
Six-nine Charlie Savall fol
lowed with 15 for Iba's vr?w.
The contest at Boulder Sat
urday afternoon will be the
Big Eight Game of the Week
on television and should be a
good one.
The Buffs pushed Kansas
down to the wire in Boulder
last week, and, as Cipriano
says, "It's just a matter of
them losing some real close
ones. We know they're goin4
to be tough; there's never a
time thev're not hard to get at
Boulder."

with projects that demand innovation and imag
