r, Pain by Gary Seacrest The agony of defeat. Nebraska guard Al Nissen laid prostrate on the floor of Kansas' Allen Field House in utter disbelief. He watched as Jayhawk fans lifted Kansas reserve Fred Bosilevac to their shoulders for a victory ride. Kansas had just beaten Nebraska in the final two seconds of overtime when Bosilevac stole an inbounds pass from Husker forward Mike Peterson and dribbled in for the winning lay-up. The loss, Nebraska's tenth straight at Lawrence, enabled Kansas to grab a share of the Big Eight lead with the Huskers. Both teams now have 4-1 conference records. "This was the toughest loss that I've had since I've been here," Nebraska Coach Joe Cipriano said Sunday of the Kansas game. But he said that Saturday's heart-breaking loss did not seriously hurt the Huskers' chances of winning the Big Eight title. "If you win at home and split on the road, you'll be in the thick of it. So we're not out of it yet." Until the last three minutes in regulation of the Kansas game, the Huskers played about as well as they could, according to Cipriano. He was especially pleased with the play of Nissen, who scored 16 points and u avided invaluable leadership during the Nebraska (playing with icy nerves before i00 screaming, feet-stomping Kansas r ill n. the the Nebraska won all running events except hurdles to defeat Indiana, Big Ten outdoor champions for the last two years, 80-60 at Bloomington Saturday. The Huskers, in capturing their dual opener, got winning efforts in the track events from Horace Levy in the 60, Doug Gregory in the 300, Leighton Priestley in the 440, Jeff Wisemiller in the 880, Dan Speck in the 1,000-yard run, Jim Hawkins in the mile and Bob linger in the two-mile. Nebraska wrestlers Bob Orta, Ralph Manning and Joe George were triple winners Friday to lead the Huskers to dual meet wins over Missouri, Kansas State and Minnesota in a quadrangular meet Friday at the Colisuem. Former Lincoln High swimmers Spencer Luedke and fans) led 55-51 with 3:43 left in regulation play. However, the Jayhawks, with the aid of a Husker turnover, scored two quick baskets to tie the score with 1:59 to go. Nebraska elected to run down the clock for a final shot, but Peterson's jump shot from the foul line with five seconds left was long. Kansas controlled the tip to start the overtime and immediately began to run the clock out. After a missed free throw by Kansas' Aubrey Nash with 3:12 left in the overtime, the Huskers' got the rebound and began stalling for a final shot. However, Nebraska was forced into a jump ball with just eight seconds left when Nissen took too much time on his ball-controlling dribbling. The veteran NU guard was matched with Nash who controlled the tip to teammate Randy Canfield. The KU center scored a quick basket, but was called for travelling. The Cornhuskers had the ball out-of-bounds with two seconds remaining, but lightening then struck in the form of Bosilevac. Can Nebraska come back against Kansas State Tuesday night at the Coliseum? "The seniors really took the loss tough," Cipriano noted. "But they'll bounce back." Kansas State enters the 7:35 p.m. game with a 3-1 conference record after beating Oklahoma 70-58 at Manhattan Saturday night. "They (Kansas State) have the tallest team in the league," Cipriano said. 'They have been playing a lot of sophomores, which should help us. They have also been hot and cold: if their guards are hot then they'll be hard to stop." J Tom Heuke turned in record-breaking freestyle efforts for the Coliseum pool Friday night to highlight Nebraska's 74-39 win over Southwest Minnesota State College. However, the Husker swimmers won only two events Saturday as they lost to Iowa State 70-42 at Ames. keri seocrest sports Who has the hottest men's intramural basketball team this year at the University?

V All-Stars, Nixon invite Big Red The nation's number one football fan will honor representatives of the nation's number one college football team Tuesday. President Nixon has invited Coach Bob Devaney, President D.B. Varner and seven Nebraska football players to the White House Tuesday, Sen. Carl Curtis announced Saturday. The players invited to attend are co-captains Jerry Tagge and Jim Anderson and five players who received national honors Johnny Rodgers, Rich Glover, Willie Harper, Larry Jacobson and Jeff Kinney. Devaney received another honor Saturday when he was named to coach the College All-Stars against the Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys in the annual Chicago Tribune-sponsored game which will be held July 28 at the Windy City's Soldier Field. The Nebraska coach is only the second college coach in two decades to be handed the coaching assignment for the All-Stars. Devaney will not have an easy task since the All-Stars haven't beaten the pro champions since 1963 when the Green Bay Packers were defeated 20-1 7. "This is a tremendous honor," Devaney said of his appointment. "We will certainly look forward to playing the Dallas Cowboys and we realize what a challenge the All-Stars will face but we'll approach the game with the idea of winning it." NEW N.F.U.
