But the lack of snow in the area this winter brings to mind a year-round ski slope in New York City which doesn't depend on the fluffy white stuff, even the artificial variety. Skiers who'd rather ski than eat on their lunch hours, and beginners preparing for a ski weekend in the New York area are heading for Grand Central Terminal these days, but they're not boarding any ski train. Instead, they head for a ski slope inside the terminal and over the tracks. Brush Vinyl Surface Here, on a slope 20 feet high and 65 feet long, they can stem, turn, stop and tumble on a dry surface of brush vinyl that is roughly the equivalent of hard-packed snow. It looks a little like skiing on your mother's best scrub brushes, but this new surface is slow enough to be safe for beginners and fast enough to keep advanced skiers in snape. Here they laboriously clamber up the 65-foot-long slope so that they can ski down and climb up again. There are no tows to carry the skiers to the top of the slope. New In U.S. Skiing indoors is new to the United States, although it's new to the United States, although it's popular in France, Italy, Great Britain and Japan, primari ly for out-of-season training, exhibitions and instruction. The Grand Central slope is one of only two in the United States with Milwaukee hosting the second. New York's indoor slope belongs to the Vanderbilt Health Club, established and operated by a Hungarian ref-- ugee sportsman, Geza Gazdag. Gazdag opened the club in February 1965, the slope fol lowed in October. Equal Numbers Since e introduced indoor skiing, Gazdag reports that about iqual numbers of men and women have found their way to his slope. The rawest of beginners start on the lower of the two Inclines which make up the slope, looking toward the day when they can leap off the small plateau between. Proficient and dedicated skiers use the slope to break in new skis, rather than making the trip up north, or to simply keep in practice during snowless weeks. Never Let It Be Said . . . So, never let it be said that you need a cold winter and mow to take to the slopes. But it would be a little bit more practical if Grand Cen tral Terminal or Milwaukee were as close as Colorado. Top teams in nation vie for Big 8 crown ... wrestlers meet in Colorado "It is easier to win the Na tional Collegiate meet than to win the Big Eight." That statement could be at tributed to any w r e s 1 1 i n g coach m the Big Eight and usually is. Starting today the top three wrestling teams in the nation will be competing to decide which one is going to be the Big Eight champion. Defending champion Okla homa, meets the favored Ok lahoma State and contender Iowa State will come home in 1-2-3 order but few experts want to guess who gets what position. Huskcrs send 7 Though Nebraska's team isn't expected to place high in the final standing, seven competitors made the trip to Boulder, Colo., for the cham pionships this weekend. The Huskers don't have any entries in the 130 or 137-pound weight class. Ron Thon will be the.NU entry at 123 and Dennis Dob son at 145, with Duane Dob son, 152; Rich Kerr, 160; Har ry Gaylor, 167; Jerry Mun- son, 177 and Gene Libal, heavyweight. tion director Fred Casotti, de which he will host, like this . . . Hail to wrestlers With their bowers Of ears that look Like cauliflowers. From beefy bulls To gaunt-faced runts They fill the gym With groans and grunts. And when they mass For conference clouts Look like room-full Of brussels sprouts. Tigers claw Huskers 91-70 in final contest of cage season A blazing second half helped the Missouri Tigers to a 91 70 win over Nebraska in the season finale for both clubs at Columbia Thursday night. The Huskers second conse cutive loss gave them an 8-6 mark in the Big Eight and 15-10 for the season. Depend ing on how Iowa State and Oklahoma do in their last games, Nebraska will wind-up anywhere from a tie for third j to a tie for fourth in the con ference, Stuart Lantz put the Big Basketball fans specialize MU fans toss eggs, ISU's pitch pennies Two champs Two defending NCAA indi vidual champions, 130-pound Dave McGuire of Oklahoma and 177-pound Fred Fozzard of Oklahoma State, head this year's entries. NCAA runnersup include Iowa State 145-pounder Dale Bahr and a pair of Oklahoma men 152-pouna wavne Wells and 160-pound Cleo Mc Glory. Iowa State 191-pounder Don Buzzard, another 1967 NCAA runnerup, also may be back if he's re-instated after quit tinr the Cyclone squad sev eral weeks ago. Colorado's Sports Informa- ISU iophs, Smith unite to beat KU, claim tie for second in Big Eight race Lawrence, Kan., Iowa State's amazingj sophomores will be trying 'to send veter an Don Smith put with a seconfi-place Big Eight fin ish when the Cyclones meet Kansas in a nationally tele vised1 basketball game at Lawrence Saturday. The contest will start at 1 p.m. and will be viewed by a near-capacity house in Lawrence and over a total of 170 television stations in 45 continental states. Only Washington, Oregon and California viewers will not get to see the battle. Iowa State will not be going to any post-season tourna ments but the incentive of getting a tie for second place in the Big Eight still is enough to get one last top effort from the sophomore- dominated Cyclones. Kansas State will represent the Big Eight in ths NCAA playoffs while powerful Kans as will be the NIT team for the conference. Sophomores Bill Cain, Dave Collins, Jim Abraham son and Mike Murray have teamed with Ail-American Don Smith to give the Cy clones a chance at their high est conference finish since 1958. Oddly enough the even tual tie-mate that year was Kansas, just as it will be this year if the youngsters can upset the Jayhawks. The win, if it could be accomp lished, would give Iowa State its greatest number of wins since the growth of the con ference to eight teams. In the only previous meet ing of the two teams this year Kansas scored a free throw with no time remain ing on the clock to win at Ames, 68-67. The Jayhawks are led by JoJo White, ranked as one of the greatest of Kansas back-court men. White is the leading scorer for Kansas and a playmaker unequalled in the nation. Kansas, twice champions of the loop in the past two seasons, will send a most massive club against the Cyclones. The front line aver ages 6-8 and White at 6-3 is the smallest man in the line up. One of the most dangerous men in the league will be facing the Cyclones for the last time. Rodger Bohnen stiehl, the quickest shot in the nation, ranks as the most accurate scorer of the Jayhawks.

PRICES Mon.-Thr.t VO Fri.-Sat.-SvR.: 2.00 Norman, Okla. Don Sidle likes boisterous basketball crowds. "Anywhere we play, the crowds usually get on me, he grins. "I don't pay them any mind, They're part of the game." Oklahoma's lanky pivot, who plays his last collegiate game Thursday against ColO' rado at Boulder, rates the Ne braska crowd right at the top in goat-getting technique. "When our guards tried to bring the ball up against their full court press, their students counted in unison with the official the ten seconds al lowed to cross the middle line, roaring in unison, 'One, two, three, four,' " Sidle re calls. The Kansas State students are formidable needlers, too. "When we went there, their band was playing the music to the TV commercial that advertises shave cream, the one where that blond lady with the Scandinavian accent comes out. Their students be gan hollering, 'Sidle, take it off.' " Sidle says all student crowds are lively. Missouri's throw eggs on the court, Iowa State's pitch pennies, Nebras ka's count in unison each time a visiting player bounces the ball before taking a free toss. "If there's anything unusu al about the way you dress, like tape on your arm, they'll figure out something to s a y about it," says Sidle. He wishes Oklahoma's stu dent crowds were larger and more demonstrative. "We really need them. It's hard to get up for a good team when the Fieldhouse is only half filled. We have to psych our selves up." The Dallas, Tex., senior has taken 35 fewer field goal shots this year than last in Big Eight play but the last nation al ranking listed him sixth in accuracy. Because of the zone de fenses Big Eight teams have been throwing at him, and the changed Sooner offense that casts Sidle in a feeding role and gives scoring opportuni ties to all the players, Sidle doesn't get as much opportu nity to score. "I'm not shooting as much so I Lake careful shots." he puts it. After a pro fling, he'd like to go into insurance and real estate. But first, he m i e h t teach English and coach. "Any place where the crowds and the town have lots of basketball spirit." he savs. Don Sidle likes boisterous basketball crowds. . Red ahead 2-0 with a lay-up to start the game and the Hus kers also led 64 before the Tigers threw in six straight points and never relinquished command before 3,800 fans in Brewer Field House. Baack hit 15 Consistent shooting by Hen ry Pickney and Gene Jones pushed Missouri to a 32-22 eage wnicn Nebraska was only ab!e to trim to 37-31 by halftime. Tom Baack kept the Huskers in contention during the first stanza with 15 points, but failed to score in the sec ond half, thus falling seven points short of 1300 career points. Second half comeback hopes were squelched early as the Nebraskans were unable to score a field goal until almost seven minutes had elapsed, by wnich time the Tigers had raced to a 53-32 advantage. i aiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiminiiirjiiiiiiiiiiio iHiiskerHappen Friday Swlmmlnr-RIK Eicht t Kansm, WrestlingRig Eight at Colorado.

Coach Norm Stewart's five continued to dominate the play by breaking the Nebras ka press and getting the ball to an open man downcourt. Missouri mounted their lead to 28 points before the Huskers scored seven straight at the game's, end to close the gap to 91-70. Stuart Lantz led all scorers with 23 points. Bob Gratopp with 10 points and Baack were the only other Huskers to hit double figures. Gene Jones paced the winners with 21 tal lies, followed by Henry Pick-, ney who hit his career high of 19. Tom Johnson with 18 and Don Tomlinson with 14. j The teams were almost even from the free throw line, with the Tigers hitting 11 of 16 while Nebraska sunk 10 of 16.
