Scamttehury sees win over 'Hawks Mr. Photo by DON TREMAIN Nebraska's Tom Scantlebury, whose deadly out side shooting against Missouri accounted for 19 points, is equally as smooth when he moves inside. College enrollment continues to rise Cincinnati, Ohio (IP.) A total of 7,750,000 students, an increase of about 3.3 were enrolled last fall in the nation's colleges and universities ac cording to a national authority on collegiate enrollments. As harbingers of future total enrollments, incoming freshmen numbers are always significant, according to Garland G. Farker, vice pro vost for admissions at the University of Cincinnati. Parker estimates that there are nearly one million freshmen, an increase of almost it in the four-year accredited colleges and universities and their affiliated two-year units. He Indicated that there are about two million new freshmen. "With the apparent softening of the Vietnam situation and the consequent easing of the military draft pressure, we can expect a resurgence of graduate and professional enrollments next year" Parker said. And, he added, "the burgeoning two-year colleges wui provide even more students at the upper division level for the four-year schools and senior colleges to ac commodate in the years ahead." Programs for recruiting disadvantaged students, especially blacks, and the con tinued demand for trained people also account for some enrollment rises, he reported. "Population data, along with buoyant social and economic pressures, indicate that colleges and universities will continue to need increasing support In terms of facilities, faculty and finance in the decade of the 70's."

By RANDY YORK Nobraskan Sports Editor Tom Scantlebury, who can show a lot of individuality, is ready for a new team experience. "We've never beaten Kansas at Lawrence since I've been here," Tom says, "and we've had a couple of pretty good games down there. Playing at Lawrence is a lot like playing at Boulder." HOPEFULLY, Nebraska's crucial Tues day night encounter with the Jayhawks will not follow the Colorado script. Nebraska bested the Buffs in Lincoln, but fell woefully short (17 points) at Boulder. "I know we can beat them," Scantlebury says of the Jayhawks. "We beat them by five on a supposedly neutral court In Kansas City and beat them by 11 here this year. We just have to give the same effort. "If we can win the next two games (Including Saturday's Kansas State engagement at Manhattan), we'll really be In good shape," Scantz added, "because three of our last four games are at home." If Scantlebury produces the same in dividual effort as he did in Saturday's 60-48 win over Missouri, the Huskers may manufacture a couple of surprises in Kansas this week. "It was one of my better all-around games ever," Scantz says of his 19-point effort, which included a 7-10 field goal performance. "I've tried to produce all season, but when we lost those three scholastically, we lost 24 points a game. "We've had to work even harder," he added, "because we don't have the speed or rebounding we had. We don't get as much rest either." Scantz, however, doesn't complain about more playing time. "Personally, I like to play more than I had been," he says. "It's more of a burden, but I like it better." Scantlebury theorizes how the Huskers could be within a half game of the Big Eight Conference lead by Saturday. "Missouri may beat Kansas State Monday at Columbia. If we beat Kansas, then get by Kansas State Saturday, we'll be 6-4 and Kansas State will be 7-4." Biggest obstacle in Nebraska's path to emerge from this week's scramble is Dave Robisch. The Jayhawks' 6-9 center, who has been held below par in his two Nebraska confrontations this year, leads conference scoring with a 27.9 average. HE GETS considerable help from for ward Pierre Russel, averaging 13.8 after KU's 71-68 Saturday night loss to K-State, and from forward Bud Stallworth, now hit ting 11.9 per game. Nebraska's backcourt strength, despite the loss of Cliff Moller and Marvin Stewart, has developed with Scantlebury's improve ment and Sam Martin's emergence into starting status. Kansas suffers somewhat at guard where starters Bob Kivistoand Aubrey Nash have been inconsistent. "There's still seven teams in the race ' for the championship," Scantlebury, the league's top-scoring guard (14.5), says. "We hope we're still part of that race by Satur-day."
