KANSAS CITY, MO. —
The steady diet of afternoon
consolation games that has
| been Iowa State’s Big Sev-
en tournament fare since
1948 came to a dramatic
and surprising end here
Tuesday night.

Coach Bill Strannigan’s Cy-
clones, out-hawking a team of
famed fighters, upset defending
champion Kansas, 82-81, in the

second big upset of the first
round.

 

It couldn’t have been a
sweeter victory, for it came
against an undefeated team
that had whipped Iowa State
12 straight times, including
‘all three previous meetings.

 

Kansas State whipped guest
California, 88-75, and will op-
pose Iowa State in the second
semifinal-round game _ tonight,
beginning at 10 o'clock
