Upsets mark tourney 1 - " ' i ii r 1 , j ilt w" Are the Cornhuskers now in serious contention for an NIT invitation. Joe Cipriano seems to think so. "The way we're playing now, we definitely feel we're a candidate," says Cip. "And we have the things to prove it." Cipriano is referring to Nebraska's fourth ranked shooting percentage in the nation and its top 20 ranking defensively. But there's one thing the Cornhuskers are still without-second v place in the Big Eight. The Big Eight coaches voted before the season started that the NIT invitation should go to the second place team in the conference instead of the team with the best overall record. Upon those conditions, Missouri can't be ignored because the Tigers 9-4 have already nailed down at least a tie for second. But Nebraska and Oklahoma, each with 8-5 marks, still have an outside chance of tying the Tigers for second. Two games tonight will help clear up the possibilities. Missouri hosts Jayhawks Missouri entertains Kansas tonight at Columbia and Oklahoma travels to Oklahoma State. Should the Tigers win, there would be no doubt. They would be on their way to New' York. But if Missouri loses, that would leave the door open for Oklahoma and Nebraska to sneak in for a second place tie. But the Cornhuskers must defeat Kansas at Lawrence Saturday before that could be. Since the NIT is close at hand, the committee may decide not to wait until after Saturday's results to invite a Big Eight team or teams. The Cornhuskers could receive a conditional invitation this week. That condition being if they defeat Kansas. A victory over the nation's No. 4 team would definitely leave Nebraska as a top drawing card. Playing on the loose The Cornhuskers will be taking some solid momentum to Lawrence Saturday. "We're playing on the loose," says Cipriano. "It gives us a different impression on how we play." Cipriano said Saturday's game with Colorado was "as good as we've played all year. We showed a lot of quickness." Marvin Stewart also feels optimistic about the swing to Kansas. "If we could of played Kansas today (last Saturday) we would have beaten them," said Stewart. "Kansas just didn't look that good on television and we had a great game. "They'll give us a game. Or should I say we'll give them a game?" added Marv. One thing is for sure. There's a new attitude on the Nebraska squad. Following the loss to Oklahoma, most fans considered the Huskers completely out of it. But Nebraska came back and the squad's attitude is now high. "We're not just going down there (Kansas) for a road trip," said Cipriano. "We've got a game to worry about. And we're playing some good basketball now." Masters. . .

MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1971 1970 Engineering Graduates MECHANICAL ELECTRONIC ELECTRICAL COMPUTER TllirJIl YOU'RE GOOD EKil? When efforts range from easing the landing of a moonship to controlling atomic-powered ships and nuclear power stations, only the best is good enough. Bailey discovered long ago that the only way to become and remain an acknowledged leader in the field of process control and measurement is to attract the finest of engineers . . . and, by practicing that philosophy, Bailey was the first with a hardware-implemented multiprocessing computer, the first with a practical fluidic control system, a leader in the field of electronic analog control and in developing the appli cations of solid state technology and hybrid circuitry to controls and instruments. An acknowledged leader in its industry and in its commu nity, Bailey was an Equal Opportunity Employer before the phrase was coined. And it has been a "clean" industry, with no air, water or noise pollution, throughout its 54-year history. If you've not heard of Bailey, perhaps it's time you did . . and perhaps it's time Bailey heard about you. The company's representative will be here March 11, 1971- Why not check with the placement office for an interview time. Bailey Babcocka Wilcox Upsets were the rule rather than the exception in the dormitory division of the intramural basketball tournament. The two top teams in last week's ratings were beaten by 16 and 34 points respectively. The three other rated teams were defeated too, for that matter. Beta Theta Pi, ranked highly all season, lost two weeks ago to Kappa Alpha Psi. They dropped into the loser's bracket last week and promptly lost again. Otherwise, the fraternity division remained fairly stable. The independent division was the most consistent, though, as only one new team moved into the ratings. Sports Staff Analysis Fraternities NO. 1 KAPPA ALPHA PSI Kappa Alpha Psi blasted Theta Xi, 61-35, and then slipped by Delta Upsilon, 40-39, in the semi-finals. They play Sigma Chi in the finals of the winner's bracket. NO. 2 DELTA UPSILON Moved up two slots to the No. 2 spot, the DU's next play the winner of the Theta Xi-Phi Delta Theta game. NO. 3 THETA XI After losing to Kappa Alpha Psi, Theta Xi dropped into the losers bracket and promptly beat Beta Theta Pi, 58-42. NO. 4 BETA THETA PI Although they 're out of the tournament, their only losses this season came at the hands of two teams ranked above them. NO. 5 SIGMA CHI They are in the finals of the winner's bracket via a win over Pioneer, 31-29. Two byes helped them get there, though. Dormitories NO. 1 ABEL VII Unranked last week, they have just kept on winning and now are in the finals of the winner's bracket against Kennedy. They beat Abel VIII, 42-35, and Carson, 50-43 to get there. NO. 2 KENNEDY Last week Kennedy romped over Harper IV, previously rated No. 2, and then smashed Selleck, 70050. They've now put together a seven game winning streak. NO. 3 CARSON They retain their same spot and now will have to wait for some games to be played in the loser's bracket before they play again. NO. 4 SELLECK They defeated last week's No. 1 team, Schramm IV by 16 points and, like Carson, now will have to wait before they play again. . No. 5 SCHRAMM IV Down from the top spot, their next game is with Gus II.
